This could be one of the smartest moves a club has pulled in years. It's always better to work with rather than against Poland in terms of speedway. Only time will tell, but creating a connection like this could be huge for Ipswich, and who knows? If it proves to be successful other clubs could follow suit.

Motm Chris Adams- not giving Thomson additional rides helped secure us that win. Well impressed with the set up at Northampton though, fantastic facilties and was well organised. Track needs work, up against it with how warm and dry it was but I think had their been more grading we could've potentially seen more racing- however if they can sort that out and put together a more competitive team they could be ob to a real winner.

But a good amount still get what they're owed. Even if its not everything thats been promised, they'll still get a considerable amount more than what they'll ever get in the UK. Ultimately Poland will do what's best for them, and with the investment they put into the sport rightfully so, and the riders will rightfully give preference to those that will offer the most to what is a short and unpredictable career. I feel situations like this are going to happen more, and we'll potentially see less willingness from the Polish sides to let their riders do as much abroad as they do currently.
-
Hopefully a lesson learnt for the new promotion. We all like to be kept in the loop with whats happening with our teams, but this should've all been sorted behind the scenes rather than out in the open.
-
I mean its a bit of ai that anyone could've designed.

I think unless there's a massively talented youngster looking to come over, and judging by Ipswich signing up Kennett there just isn't, I'd rather us just stick by Anders. There's no point dropping him to bring in a rider like Kerr or Sedgy again.

Can't be Gilkesy- riders MA has to be the same or lower than the rider their guesting for- Gilkes is on 3.40, Killeen is 3.00. -
Scunthorpe 2026
spin king junior replied to Youhave2minutes's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Get the feeling the intention was always to sack Ingram- thought it was strange that all the squad had 2026 kevlars but Ingram was wearing Worrall kevlars from last season when the season started, but with way he's gone on there was no way scunthorpe could consider releasing him. Could just be me putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 though. -
Riss needs to retire at this point. Hes been suffering with this illness since 2023 and its looking increasingly unlikely that its going to get better. Needs to do himself, his opponents and club a favour and sadly admit defeat. The sports dangerous enough without a condition that seemingly effects his vision at random times.

On the 2026 rules and regs it states- "010.2.3 Amended MA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: - a) riders who have been absent from British Speedway racing for more than 3 seasons (the table in 10.2.2 will be used as a reference, the MA may be increased or decreased) b) riders who have been absent for more than 1 full season due to a speedway injury" Doesn't mention any amount of percentage of reduction- however, I'd read that as woffinden could apply for a reduction under the current rules.
-
No mention of a percentage- like a lot of things in speedway they'll just make it up as they go along!
-
Well on the 2025 rules and regs it says the following for average amendments- 010.2.3 Amended MA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: - d) riders who have been absent for more than 1 full season due to a speedway injury So from that, I'd suggest woffy is likely to get a higher deduction than the standard 2.5%. That being said, I'd say it's more than likely a mistake on the speedway gp site. I cant see woffy doing the gps and the UK, I fully suspect his focus will be elsewhere. And especially for Sheffield I can't see a side where we wouldn't include picko. I'd be very surprised if it's anything other than the 7 already touted.
-
They'll never learn... cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would sign Craig at this point. An absolute liability, completely unpredictable and has let down clubs year on year. Good luck Workington, I suspect at somepoint this season you'll need it once Craig disappears...
-
Can't see it personally. Made Owlerton his own last season, think at 2 he'll still prove to be a real trump card at home. On the road may be a different story.
-
Think that's more than likely the team we'll go with
-
I very much doubt we'll be without Pickering next season, especially with his comments regarding if there was 1 league he'd pick Sheffield over Scunny
-
I do sort of understand why some wouldn't be keen on Brennan - he hasn't exactly got a stellar record round owlerton. Other than that, I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to sign him. A rider that's improved year on year, a real professional and speaks well for himself and in what could be a weakened league I think could be a real asset as hes proved he can defintely hold his own at heatleader- given the opportunity I'd love to see him have a season at Sheffield, however I fully suspect he'll be back at Ipswich.
-
Glad to see we're all but confirmed to be starting the season- fully suspect the league will lose a lot of the big hitters from last season, and I think sadly that will include Jack, so will have to go strength in depth. Potentially being something like 1. Picko 7.76 2. Morris 5.89 3. C Holder 6.84 4. Rowe 5.22 5. Wright 6.11 6. Flint 5.06 Rs edwards or killeen

For a club like Ipswich to be put up for sale who hold a regular decent crowd and just won the league just shows no one is safe. If a club like Ipswich can't succeed then no one can and quite simply the days of top flight racing in Britain is done. You'd think/hope someone like Guy Nicholl will be in, I cant see him letting the club go under.

Sheffield - for sale
spin king junior replied to Cue Ball's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Oh get over yourself- the attitude of an handful of Ipswich fans on this form has been pathetic over last couple of years- constantly hounded about our track, fans and riders and giving a dig at every opportunity even when their teams aren't involved in it. Do I think most fans want to see Sheffield open? Absolutely. but with way the club has been lambasted by some i also feel there's some that would relish seeing the demise of the club i support. I'll leave it there. If people agree or disagree I don't care anymore. Outside speedway I'm a Wednesday fan so seeing both clubs you support potentially go to the wall is pretty draining.- 114 replies

Sheffield - for sale
spin king junior replied to Cue Ball's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Hopefully someone can be found to buy the club- last thing thr sport needs is another well established clubs lost like so many others- although I'm sure there's a good amount of Ipswich fans that'd be glad to see us go under... -
Exactly what speedway needs. Some fresh young blood to bring the sport into the new age. Welcome aboard Arry, I'm sure you won't look lost amongst the crowd.
