Pretty sure Bowes has signed for Poole. Showed flashes of ability for sure but very inconsistent. Some of that could well have been down to his schedule . I think with Bowes at 4 and Bailey who is new to British Speedway at the difficult No2 position Poole will be weaker next season.

Yes its easy to forget not everyone uses the Forum so a % won't be aware of Zach not returning or Cairns & Rowe were signed on 2 years deals. As a side note i read this morning that the POL EXL squads are near enough agreed subject to ??? in some instances and Bailey is down to sign as one of 4 Juniors in the Grudziaz EXL team. Think they may allow 1 junior other nationality now but he will be 1 of 2 out of 5. Nailed on no doubt to ride in their U24 POL EXL team though which has I believe a new meeting format. I wonder if he will do UK if he does get a qualifying slot in one of the Aussie meetings this Winter. Also Kevin J Pedersen leaving his POL EXL 2 side for 2026 and now too old for the POL U24 Lge as well. No new club in POL National Lge on the horizon either at this stage so I wonder if another rider who will look to UK if he cant seek employment except maybe DK. Believe his scoring was also poor in POL hence why not offered a return.

Is this a wind up or is someone actually going to take the huge risk on ?

Not for the Northampton fans Love Peter but he's had his day

Can’t see Pickering keeping that average especially if at 1 or 5, his away form over last few seasons has been bang average, its his Owlerton form against weaker teams that has inflated his average, but could see Jack maintain his and Chris improve his by 0.5, well that’s my thoughts anyway 😆

I think we will get some hints on Friday with team news. Would expect it to be announced than Zach isn’t returning, and then also expect Cairns and Rowe to be announced.
