I was basing it being a 40 points limit, which it of course might be lower, a lower limit may suit Poole if they have got Cooper

The Rowe Motor Oil Premiership and the Cab Ditect Championship are to operate as separate entities. The activists have come to preliminary agreements and at AGM we are to know the final version of the order in the UK for the 2026 season. With each club on British soil that was declining, fans began to wonder about the meaning of the two leagues. The departure of the Birmingham Brummies and Oxford Spires means that next season the Rowe Motor Oil Premiership will not be able to gather more than five teams. Of course, sudden changes in the plans of the promoters and the persuasion of some centers must be taken into account, but the league seems closed. Driving in such a small group is no fight, especially for many clubs in the Cab Direct Championship. There, however, the situation is very different, and most resorts cannot afford to ride in the Premiership. Especially when their current teams rely mainly on players who compete in both leagues. However, the plan to combine the games goes into the background. It will not be without changes If nothing extraordinary happens, the British speedway will remain in the current stage of play. The 2026 season will be played on three levels and, above all, there will be changes in building the squad. Activists work on the transfer market to stay back and build a team worthy of fighting for the championship. We know that the Ipswich Witches, Leicester Lions, Sheffield Tigers, Belle Vue Aces and King's Lynn Stars will remain in the Premiership. Sheffield Tigers are primarily waiting for a new owner, and without it the club will not move next year. The league seems to be cut and even a double basic phase will be of no use. Certainly, the KSM limit is to be changed so that the players can spread out throughout the league. Most likely there will be another reduction, so that the duo of Belle Vue Aces Daniel Bewley and Brady Kurtz may be separated. The Cab Direct Championship does not promise to be many changes, possibly in terms of a greater bet on young Britons. The Mildenhall resort, which is set as the favorite to return to the Championship step, is about to determine its future. Upcoming limits However, there is no denying that the British speedway is facing further regulatory problems. According to the regulations described in the Club Membership Regulations, from the 2027 season, players competing in Poland will be able to choose one foreign league. The question remains, what will the current stars of the Rowe Motor Oil Premiership choose? Will some go to Sweden to race with names, or maybe they will stay in British structures. One thing is known - promoters must start thinking much earlier than a few months before the start of the 2027 season. https://speedwaynews.pl/zuzel/zaskakujace-doniesienia-jednak-nie-dojdzie-do-rewolucji/

I quite like it!  That's a decent top 4. I'd prefer Ace at No6 if possible, I don't think that bottom three would score much away from home.  My thinking, rightly or wrongly, is Ace at No6 and almost having a sacrificial No7 who can chip in 4ish points at home and 2ish points away. 

Struggling to find a date and a venue for the Speedway promoters AGM.  promoter availability is the problem allegedly , with many of them already doubling up and or taking part in overseas commitments.   Guests have been discussed but guests of a suitable standard can be found, and "promoter replacement" is thought to severely weaken the team and will not be considered.  Likely that they will all be asked to buy a tablet and use Zoom or Microsoft Teams to meet online.  

I doubt anything will be announced till the post-AGM statement next month.

I understand and accept what you say.  However, the part you don't seem to want to address is that Poole could do all of that,  but select different riders to suit a more race orientated track- and prepare it accordingly.  I suspect Poole would be just as successful, because that is a mindset.  However, Poole might just attract more fans and make a bigger profit.
