A lot of red faces with all the Zischke definitely going to Glasgow know it all's.

Higher ups are playing a dangerous game here. Most of these young lads will have their confidence shattered to pieces in a blink of an eye to a point where they may contemplate taking a break from the sport. Haven't thought this one through at all.

Got to say probably like the majority of people I’m very shocked at Tate going to Scunthorpe of all places ?! As far as track and set up it’s like shopping at M&S then going to Heron foods! I wish him well he’s been great to watch and is a fantastic talent hopefully we will see him back home at Workington one day.

You would think they would suss nobody is interested in it Phil and just run the world team cup every other year which does pull the punters in.

erm..... No we dont, enjoy having the GPs, good luck to you, hope its a massive success. my comment was just the same as every ipswich fan was saying all last season, and us aces fans are going to have fun saying the same all next season 😄

and hearing the belle vue rumoured team, its safe to say next year means nothing, hollow win for anyone winning

Steve Irving gonna have us down as favourite's.

Jody Scott Luke harrison although rumoured to be not signing as a RS Hodder ryan ingram jordy loftus ace pijper (northampton) Ben trigger senna summers aston vale seth norman charlie southwick ollie binns and if that is the list then god help us, they are no where near ready for prem, scrap the RS

My first draft of a team: 1) Jason Doyle 8.62 2) Tom Brennan 5.76 (5.91) 3) Maciej Janowski 6.06 4) Adam Ellis 5.98 (6.13) 5) Kacper Woryna 7.50 6) Marcel Kowolik U21 7) Ace Pijper U21 Average: 33.92

Well , well, Tate goes to Scunthorpe ............ will the person who said he was going North of the border please stand up. A Mr B Lobby.

Josh Grajczonek???? Game over with that on a triple word ..😁

All a bit unsavoury this. The kid is 17 years old, cut him some slack.

Wasn't it Vinnie Foord after a debate about whether he was allowed to guest or not?

1.Nicholls 7.94 2.Thomsen 4.86 3.Barker 7.56 4.Thompson 5.91 5.Batchelor 7.04 6.Foord 3.29 7. (3.40) Looks a decent line up at home that’s for sure. And a lot of GB based riders there aswell.

Drew Kemp isn't in Leicester's plans for 2027. Witches tail has Kemp, Cairns and a Rising Star written all over it tbh and I'd be very happy with that tbh.

In the Speedway Star, Mark Lemon mentioned how he likes to keep as many riders as he can, which does make sense if they have improvement in them (like last season), as you have invested time in them and had to take the "not too good days"... It is much more of a gamble when coming off a season of good increases in averages, and for riders to move up a position in a team and even just keep the same average will be a challenge.. The joys of being successful in Speedway!!😁 The opportunity being of course, that a poor season from "the engine room" could see them having great averages for the 2028 team!!😁 Only in Speedway...

From some things I've heard, theirs a few clubs in both leagues that are slow to pay 🤔

Whoooooosh. It doesn't matter 🤣

Ideally if Nilsson is a Witch then we need him to be on a 6.00 I say that because only once did Kim achieve a 7+ GSA when riding over here for a number of years as a Lakeside Hammer and that must have been at least 9 or 10 Years ago. If Kim is a 6.00 then this is a very strong side with no weak link. 1. J. Doyle 8.62 2. A. Ellis 5.98 3. D. King 7.17 4. T. Brennan 5.76 5. K. Nilsson 6.00 6. W. Cairns 3.00 7. Rising Star = 36.53

Surprise and question mark signings? Sounds interesting. Do like a shock signing. Don't get them so much anymore as everyone knows something! So still waiting for points limit. I guess that is dependant on Plymouth.

I to was very supprised on Tait going to Scunny, thought it was nailed on Glasgow and I could have understood that. This is the part of speedway I really dislike as there is vertually zero loyalty in the sport, what Andrew invested in Tait is unbelivable espesially all the help off track so he must be right gutted. Need some good news soon as it seems everyone jumping ship I do thke the idea of Jake Allen but if it's him Batch and Antti like someone has suggested above we are in for a real poor season regardless of what reserves you put in. Jackobsen is a must for me unless another team come poaching him to because he is much better than the average he currently has which I think will be tempting for other teams. We could do with a good teram manager named to get things started because I do not think Baz has the right experiance to do it full time, I actually thought that George English might have been tempted to take it with him being there at the track every week, or even co-promoter but Redcar jumped in and got him.

Everyone who lands in Britain these days is 'British'. He should claim asylum from the horrors of war-torn Denmark

take it you dont read the forum 🤣

Your last comment re soothing egos needs some explaining, as it appears out of context to the rest of your post. Not clear why there are egos at play here?

I just don't understand why we don't include all U21 riders in this system? Having Will Cairns and Cooper Rushen in the rising star system makes it much stronger.

tbf, i dont blame poland, sadly its just we just dont have any u21 riders who are capable as of yet, for me the best bet is to change the scheme to u24 english riders, like it was previously,

Some team news is well overdue for us!

insane to be honest, you can just about scrape together an ok six out of that list but god knows what happens if a couple get injured. why have they bowed down to Poland and allowed this?

Whoever gets Jody Scott gets a significant advantage then! Not even championship reserves

This season is very much, completely different... As all the teams have much longer to pick from pretty much exactly the same riders.. Meaning it will be the best season, ever, ever, ever..* Even better than the seven team 2025, which surely will be talked about for decades to come... * (Unless Belle Vue win again)....

I think it was 2019, I went to opening meeting with Brummies as we'd both gone up and they reported a crowd of over 1000, I also went to the Good Friday KO Cup with Brummies, baking hot and blue groove and melting free easter eggs, a local I spoke to said it was close to 1500, biggest crowd they'd had in 10 years. I tried to get tickets in 2021 for the opening meeting v Poole to go with my brother who lives in Bexhill, as we were starved of speedway and brummies opened quite late, and I remember having to get online , Brummies and Eagles used the same Ticketing platform I think Eagles had made recommendation to Peter Mason about it, and could not get one as the limit was set at 800? and they had sold out. I think all crowds were Covid restricted and segregated until July that year to advance ticket sales only (Perry Barr definitely was) so I can't see how they could have had more than the set limit anywhere, until July. It would be great to see Speedway back at Arlington but I do agree with the sentiments that it has to be on a weekend and at CL level as otherwise it'll just be set to fail and cost someone a lot of money to soothe the ego of Mr Coleman / Morris and Lemon.

Richard Coleman's wallet will definitely need to be bigger than mine to make this happen

Finance ain’t an issue I promise ya 😜 Wont be the team though, miles orf.

get your wallet out Arthur, 😁

Maybe Workington as I’m assuming there losing Batchelor,plus Zischke and Kemp that’s 3 and possibly Max Perry who looks to selling some of his bikes.

Still giving pilots a wide berth though 😜

By all accounts the riders who were in the Premiership this year look to be the exact same riders in the league next year so I’m struggling to see how it’s an improvement at all

Godfrey pleads more poverty than anyone else !

Zisckhe to Scunthorpe.

probably the deal

No mods? Let's see ..... Phuckem!

Will is a great young rider, yes he’s a character but that’s a good thing? Speedway needs more characters as it’s bums on seats. I’m not saying he’s playing the villain part like Niki Pedersen did but even if he did? We should be building up and supporting Will Cooper Jody and even Luke. As them 4 are probably leading the charge as the future of British Speedway.

Tbf he isn't an adult yet. Got another 8 months or so! But i remember everyone used to moan about Darcy being immature when he was at Poole. Everyone grows up eventually.

That's the same as he said.

Depends if we are pushing for mediocrity.

He grew another helmet size this year towards the end, do him good to move on for experience

That's a hell of a youth development programme 😂

Just seen this on my YT feed. In case anyone hasn't seen it yet?
