I know efforts are still on going to get Coventry & Peterborough back but they are still a few years away at best & Cradley further away than that if it ever happens. Currenty it looks like Wolves & Birmingham are finished with no hope of return.    Spedeworth with deane wood have several venues Eastbourne included so maybe the future expansion of the sport will come though a partnership between uk speedway & spedeworth. Ipswich & Northampton certainly seems to work well with Deane so who knows.

Would have thought R/R would do better.

Sheffield are very vulnerable away from home so any lead maybe not enough, they took a 24 point lead to Leicester and nearly blew it. As for Zach he can handle the pressure but he does struggle away sometimes even in the Championship although I would not think Sheffield is his worst track. 

I hear Jody Scott is trying to win a spot in Poland & has gone over to do some practice. I think he is time served in NDL but will need to carry on in the Championship for now but weather Oxford can get him away from Redcar is another issue. Of the riders that were at Cowley in 2026 I think Sam Masters & Luke Killeen will return. Mitch McDiramid I believe will drop the Championship for the Premiership & Poland Erik Riss is to much of a risk for any BL club Anders Rowe will move on Dale Wood & Daryl Ritchings will not feature in the team either. But I could be completly wrong 

Its alarming that he has been called back three times after his shocking crime the first time and people still think theres a place in the sport for him. Absolute madness. 

The loss of Kildemand could prove costly. Expect Belle Vue to do a job on Sheffield around the NSS so the Tigers will need a Double digit lead imo. Tigers 51 - 39 Aces
