If it was Harris or Thompson, then it was even more of a no brainer than Howarth or Thompson. Harris has been the first name on the team sheet since 2023/2024. Next season might be the first he isn’t.

The trouble with uk speedway is clear and simple. The toys are too expensive and we no longer have the boys to play with them.

I saw some of the action from the Sheffield meeting in Luke Killeen's Vlog, and it was clear you couldn't just "howl" into the bends at full gas, sideways blocking the track, meaning the rider behind couldn't pass, but just did the same thing... Meaning, as often happens at most tracks, four riders in procession, equidistant apart... From the action I watched in the Sheffield match, the riders had to go around the bends more circumspect given the level of grip they were getting, hence more mistakes and opportunities were available to be had... Hence, the racing was decent... With so little actually riding on the outcome of a any UK Speedway meeting, you would think the promoters would 100% focus on ensuring that the actual entertainment level, both on and off track, encourages people to keep attending wouldn't you...?

Kevin and Jan up already done Edinburgh and another final lined up. Then back south tomorrow for second leg. Just had free breakfast in McDonald's. Others look on in envy.

Coleman to buy Foxhall, and put a belle Vue copy track in. 

I 100% would stick by Brennan. He was a massive part of our premiership winning team in 2025. He had the 13th best average in the 2nd polish league in 2025 (just under 8.00). He scored 10 points in the European championship round 2 this year. Beating Dudek, Jepsen Jensen and Michelsen at points in the night.  His situation this year was difficult, pushed into number 1 at Ipswich and being dumped from Bydgoszcz after scoring 9+1, 6, 6+1 in his first 3 rounds. Also some riders just have bad seasons every now and then. He's still got 2-3 years before most riders reach their prime, he comes in on a nice average and has experience of racing against top riders.  Finally, letting a rider go to a direct rival on a nice average is really not a good idea. I don't want to see him score big in the 2027 playoffs for Belle Vue.
