More than they did last year no doubt.

i think running on a night that suits the fans not the riders has been a big driver of their success.

Think they're hoping a chunk of Oxford fans will turn up to see Premiership Speedway. It's so risky though and I'm surprised it's even being considerd tbh.

Still the only logical reason as to why Fricke wouldn't be at Leicester imo. Stewart Dickson wants to challenge for silverware and despite how good Fricke is, It's simply impossible to build a competitive team around his GSA using a 36.00 Limit for 6 Riders. Even an engine room of Howarth, N. Morris and D. Thompson is pushing 17.00 Points.

I think Belle Vue have to look at the bigger picture instead of the usual......We want Kurtz and Bewley. It may very well be a weakend League next season but don't forget that Belle Vue weren't seriously challenging for anything this season with Kurtz and Bewley being backed up by Lidsey and Z. Cook. To fit Kurtz and Bewley in again within a 36.00 Limit then you'll need to get rid of the 2025 backup to them and put faith in riders who haven't improved at all. Any planning for 2026 should see a No.3 & No.4 pairing of B. Cook and Z. Cook imo, Two riders who can fligh around the NSS in the engine room and improve starting GSA's of 6.39 and 6.20.

Much better side imo, Gusts and Tungate's GSA's represent value. Belle Vue certainly need a Cook Brother in the engine room so it looks like a good team to me.
