Interesting read also in the Speedway Star this week is the Kyle Howarth interview, where he’s said even the riders are sick of racing at the same places 4 times a season and that alongside the massive fixture gaps is why he’s taking a break from it for remainder of 2026.  It’s good to see a rider speak openly about the current position not working rather than speaking the party line of it’s all rosey in the garden.     The one big league with 2H and 2A would give them more variety and also a decent amount of meetings to negate the doubling up that a decent amount of riders are doing. The promoters/owners need to look at the bigger picture here and not just what suits them, OK it might upset a few big hitters that want to ride/live in UK but can’t if go down one big league and team average isn’t a crazy amount, but they aren’t going to be around for ever and it’s not like there’s an influx of foreigners wanting to ride over here, so take the bullet now get a baseline in position for the sport and take it from there.  If the one league doesn’t work out then can revisit alternatives but whatever have now just isn’t working for riders or fans.

Pickering is the best rider I’ve seen in this league for a very long time , I no at the beginning of the season he had a high average that’s because he’s quality i tipped Scunthorpe to finish bottom of the league shows what I no 😂😂i would be amazed if he’s there next year but enjoy him while you can, you can keep your lawsons of this world he’s the real deal 

52-38 to Tigers, I don't think we're consistent enough to trouble the Tigers too much.

John Campbell article appears to have a feel of well if we the Championship don't start planning now who will and when. It is obvious Mark Lemon is desperate to retain the Premiership, maybe he has forgotten he rode in the Premier League back in the day. The article talks about 8 Premiership teams but then questions where the other two teams are going to come from as both Poole and Glasgow have stated they will be in the Championship in 2027. Apart from this there has to be doubts about the future of at least Sheffield at Premiership level, they have already sounded warnings of sustainability at current crowd levels. 

Easy home win by at least 10

Thanks.
