@lewy worky is a long way from airports, but within 2 and a half hours most northern airports can be reached, but whether they fly to the right airports in Poland at the right time, that's another thing, Bowes missed several meetings to be in Poland . But if certain riders have not been paid in Poland they are maybe thinking twice about going back

Not quite. Top league will still have fixed race nights of Mon & Tues leaving days free for riders to race in Scandinavia & Poland.  Biggest positive for UK speedway by reducing doubling up is to give credibility to the sport.  That said I’m not convinced promoters will actually see it through. 

Thought Scott was seeing out his career at Oxford assuming 2026 will be  his final season as a rider  

A sensible development if so. Hopefully the average conversion rate between the top two divisions will be less lenient too. How would it help? As I understand it the fixed race night is so that riders can ride in multiple leagues internationally. Denmark would still have priority on a Wednesday so any riders who have a team spot there wouldn't be able to race for their British clubs on a Wednesday regardless of the division. 

What I think the Scorpions 2026 Septet will look like.   1. D. King 8.59 2. L. Harrison 4.97 3. C. Mountain 5.96 4. Z. Kennedy 5.24 5. M. Palm Toft 6.10 6. D. Kennedy 4.63 7. S. Lambert 4.48 = 39.97

1. N. Klindt 8.36 2. J. Etheridge 5.45 3. T. Zischke 5.76 4. J. Hook 5.57 5. A. Vuolas 6.87 6. J. Grahn 5.30 7. 2.69
