Hold on, are you insinuating that Jacob Hook has proved himself out of a space with Workington, the lad who lived in a supporters house all season? Rather than the promotion just deciding to go for Etheridge and Zischke on similar averages, which is of course fine, but it does make a mockery of the sport. If Hook didnโt improve, heโd be signed, just like Zischke, Foord, and Iโm sure two of Etheridge, Voulas and Batchelor too. -
Does Klima count as a strong reserve ? ย also not sure you can suprise teams if you have Danny king and Scott Nicholls as your 1 and 5. -
As we limp through the 2026 season, there should be putting a plan set in place to improve the sport and hopefully put it on a firmer footing.ย Ideas to look at include building relationships with the local councils to help secure a new fit for purpose stadium or improvements to the current location.ย Build or improve tracks to provide the level of entertainment demanded by modern audiences with the Glasgow ethos of racing being the key.ย Meetings need to be run on a tighter timeline with 9.00 as the finishing target. Grading breaks need to be short and at standard times every meeting. In the down time have something to engage the fans with rider interviews ( preferably on a big screen with replays and scores throughout), games for the kids and a mascot to provide some fun and free sweets. A chance to hear from and meet the riders after the meeting would be good to help build relationships.ย Running a junior team and U16 meetings should be mandatory to help bring on the next generation. We might even unearth some GB FIM medal winners.ย Engaging with the local community via youth groups plus attracting families via social media is something to look at and bringing in sponsors, the kind who would look beyond the local and possibly back a UK Grand Prix.ย Lastly riders need to be looked after by being paid on time and backed when times are tough to help build that bond between rider and club/fans.ย All not easy to do I know but with the right people it could be achieved. Chris Louis would be the ideal choice to push this through or Stewart Dickson at Leicester. Bates would have been good before deciding to move on and of course Buster could get things done as he has done in the past. There could even be candidates from the lower division with the drive to see this done.ย -

It's going to take a good 12-24 months to finalise and move everything over to Netflix (if that's the plan) so nothing will change in the short term. That's if the deal even goes through! -
