Poole were going into it as Elite Champs at that time, with a round in each of the countries represented. There was a huge debate about Holder and Ward as to who they should ride for. But at the end of the day it all came down to money! Anyone riding in the Polish League wanted the same Polish pay rates for every round, no matter who they rode for!

Pubs not open yet Lewy?!   Its not a MC, its a Management Board of a Limited Company, with Directors voted on by their peers. 2 x Premiership; 2 x Championship (including the Chairman)!

Been having a little play with a few numbers. I know some people might say such and such has already signed for someone else but just tried to come up with typical Scunthorpe riders Josh Pickering 11.64 Declan Kennedy 4.63 or Dan Gilkes 4.58 Michael Palm Toft 6.10 Zaine Kennedy 5.24 Anti Vuolas or Steve Worrall (may have retired?) 6.87/6.82 Ben Trigger 3.26 Mickie Simpson 2.00

While at first glance it's lacking back up to Pickering, there are quite a few riders who will go well at home. Even winning all their home matches will be an improvement on recent seasons. Of course it'll be quite hard to build a potent looking team with Picko taking up so much of the points limit.

All pretty quiet on the Sheffield front for 2026 which I’m taking as a positive that we will be running in 2026, no continual messages from the club about those interested in buying to contact the club like in previous times.  Hopefully pre AGM the club confirms its intentions and can then get on with rider announcements
