As always, purely for fun before the final green sheet has been issued - I had something similar as one of my draft teams on my spreadsheet - Harris, Zischke, Flint, J Thompson, Howarth, Hodder, Loftus - slightly over the 40pts.

Think all speedway fans would love the sport to have a sustained massive injection of cash but it doesn't. The fact remains that currently only 5 teams (35riders) are possible participants in the Premiership in 2026. Currently there is no tv deal and with most of the likely candidates having been there and done that then I have my doubts whether a tv deal from a financial big player is at all likely . This obviously has  financial implications for the budgets of the premiership clubs and the BSPL. Another question to be answered is with no tv money and only a possible 5 teams do all these teams even want this ? . No excitement and not much variability in 5 teams from where I'm sitting. The truth is the Premiership is not the promised land and most Championship supporters believe that is the better product. Also let's not forget Leicester only joined the Premiership in 2023 and Sheffield in 2021 neither of which have enjoyed financial happy times if rumours of the size of losses are to be believed.

Nothing wrong with hyping them up, as long as they don't get carried away and start believing the hype - as happened with Boughen. He tried to walk before he could run. And to answer your question, it's not Poole. No way he will ride in the same team as William Cairns. Didn't they have a falling out? I've heard Glasgow.

Surprised tassels are allowed in speedway they could pull an arm into a wheel. And to answer your question, it’s Poole.

He is the Lion that increased his average by the most. With a low limit I would thought he should be the first or second signing.

wasnt there a similar discussion on here a few years ago about Boughen? does concern me a bit when these riders are hyped up so much.
