When did MPT get injured?

100% this despite my initial doubts crowds have been good at Northampton even allowing for a weak team but as you say both them and Eastbourne will need help particularly if Eastie have to run on a week night. The idea of an eight team top league is sound but it might make more sense to stabalise Northampton in 2027 with a view to getting Eastie into the league in 2028.

Or goggles.  That happened once where a ref watched a rider throw them away whilst at the tapes but did nothing. What would possess him to do that£ Not sure which team benefited back then. 

I started going to Football in the early 80s ( my old man used to stand on the chicken run at West ham) so speedway was tame in comparison! I still look back very fondly on the Wolves v Cradley and Cradley V Wolves matches I attended.

and the same goes for the u21s, especially the British rider(s) as there is a significant difference between the top British u21s and the 7th (or 8th), and if some teams end up with 2 Brit u21s (due to costs) the talent gap just gets bigger as you are already on to riders that weren't good enough for a Championship place in 2026. And will throwing these youngsters into jobs that they aren't ready for do anything for their careers? Or will they be lost to the sport?
