You've posted more than one of these opinion pieces in the GP section and, while they're interesting, I've not seen anything to back them up. Yes, the Moto3 thing and the court case are real, but otherwise it seems to boil down to the fact you don't think it's possible to run a GP series with such commitments and that the GP calendar hasn't been announced. I'd say it's a reach to say the GPs will be reduced significantly in any way, and even more so that it would somehow benefit British speedway. I don't think riders have ever made fortunes from the GPs, that's what Poland is for, so taking an extra 20 meetings in the UK is hardly going to move the needle. -
Interesting little nugget in today’s Speedway Star regarding Brennan. The good news from his personal side, is he expects to be back and ready to ride by the start of February so his plans for 26 hasn’t changed. But, maybe it won’t be Ipswich after all in UK. Maybe I’m reading too much in to his comments, but it sounds to me like somethIng new? ”There’s no difference to my team plans for 2026. I’m already back with Vastervik and Bydgoszcz, which I’m happy about”. ”I’ve got to sort out England still. The way it’s looking, it should be a really good option”.

But we have "RR and guests all over the place" now... So, no real difference other than running on nights that could attract a better crowd level...

British speedway fans are a curious bunch. They’ve long lamented the decline of the sport, shouting loudly for change — yet the moment anyone dares to suggest or attempt something different, the very same voices instantly turn against it. It’s the living embodiment of that old saying: “If you always do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got” This insular, short-sighted mindset has become part of the sport’s identity in Britain. Instead of embracing progress, too many cling to nostalgia, treating innovation as some sort of betrayal. And heaven help anyone who dares to be optimistic — for in British speedway circles, positivity is often treated as heresy. Those who still see potential in the sport, who genuinely believe it can rise again, are mocked, attacked, or dismissed by a fan base that seems to draw pleasure from rubbishing the very thing they claim to love. If British speedway is to escape its slow decline, the culture around it must change first — from one of cynicism and self-sabotage to one of belief and boldness. Until then, the sport will remain trapped by its own spectators, let alone its promoters, who must be sick of the pessimism and negativity from within its own fan base! Knowing a little of the inner workings of British Speedway, I used to think some on the inside of the sport, promoters, officials etc were disrespectful when showing disdain for fans, but now, I understand it! Some of you would happily nail the coffin shut on the sport, purporting to want change, but not really, you would rather moan and whinge from behind a keyboard! British speedway's fans are its biggest asset, whilst simultaneously being its biggest weakness!
