A new Aussie is usually the go to. Or maybe Brady Landon?

He does but is still a very young lad. It's happened before when they come over to ride together, its just a feeling as they don't seem to travel apart and both in the Ward camp. Both at Glasgow would be my guess. Which would be a crying shame for Workington if they get neither.

One of the "weird" plusses for Speedway is the actual lack of huge financial rewards for winning.. No team would put together a team of "World Beaters" as they couldn't afford it, or, even if they could, their own crowds would suffer, as watching them hammer opponents each meeting would become boring... It doesn't even need massive differences in team averages, just stop moving the sport backwards each season... And having a "Manchester United" that brings the largest crowds in when they visit can't be a bad thing for the sport.. Other "Minority" sports, like both Rugby codes, Basketball and Ice Hockey have their regular "top teams", who bring in good home fan turnouts when visitng other teams.. It should always be about moving the sport forward..

With nearly half of the top nine riders being Belle Vue 2026 riders, I can see us having to release lads once again to bolster our opponents. 

Apologies i meant to add at the End of Season Awards on Saturday

What we need is consistency.  As it is we may get three meetings on consecutive Mondays one month then one meeting the next month. I like the suggestion of one night a week for top-flight British speedway and one meeting every two weeks. We'd soon get into the habit. Eight teams would be perfect but I guess that six or seven would be possible too.  Also, we could have some 'fillers' for the 'diehard' fans who would go whatever the meeting.  Possibly three-team matches, local challenges, etc. Hope I am not getting too carried away but have the sense that some of the promoters are getting serious about presenting a more credible product!  Just hope that there are enough of them to change what we have had to put up with for so long!
