They started 2025 0.94 below, so yes they might well start that far below next year.

It would be great to have Dan T back next season?? 

I was devastated to hear Danny say at the awards evening that he won’t be back, why does speedway keep shooting itself in the foot , I’m sure or I hope Danny will get fixed up but there may be some riders who don’t , looking at the averages it’s Redcar who have been post penalised as others like Poole and Glasgow only have one rider over 8 once reductions applied 

Here is the opening two paragraphs from the 2026 press release... (continue the each as you wish). "British Speedway will enter a bold new era in 2026 that is sure to excite fans across the country following their AGM at the weekend..." "Chairman of the BSPL, Rob Godfrey said he felt satisfied that the sport will be the real winner with all the promotors working collectively in the best interests of the sport..." 

Even with a 25% discount for coming out of the R/S programme, Flint is still 5.06 average.   So no way he'll fit in at reserve.

That would certainly be left field. I could see Bewley ending up at Foxhall to be honest. Maybe Zmarzlik & Emil here for Doyle’s testimonial?
