I agree, it's the most sensible option and proved the format works with lots of excitement in 2026. The top league on the other hand. Well 1/2 promoters in particular continue to kid themselves that paying for top stars and having them face each other 8 times a season is a good product.

Interesting move for him which will no doubt work out well. Not that it concerns us, but still glosses over the fact that the Premiership product is very poor, racing the same teams over and over again and having 4 out of 6 qualify for the playoffs is laughable. Signing the top stars is unsustainable for all but 1/2 clubs now and until those promoters see this the product at the top level while never improve. I had a BSN season pass in 2026 and barely watched any Premiership meetings. There’s a big reason Poole and Glasgow choose to compete in this league.

Nice racetrack that 😉

About 13.12 to be precise (or 12.00), try again in another 10 years. Pickering came in at 11.64 at the start of last season

It says, (copied and pasted from the digital edition) ”I’ve had talks with a few clubs now, so I’m definitely coming back to England but it is not sure yet which club that will be” Also says about his first time at Plymouth, “First time I went there, I didn’t know if it was a practice track or the real track!”

Yeah that’s correct he is 2.60 with 2.5% reduction. But don’t believe he’ll be riding speedway next season

I don’t see the rush personally, keeps the club relevant during the off season and deals to sign new riders from abroad logistically are more complex than re-signings or British riders

If he does end up there, I'd deffo take Jonatan Grahn at Northside. He's scored 58 points + 8 bp, in just 6 meetings here

Tate announced as moving on for 2027, see to sad him go. If he improves his starts could become a top rider in this league

Ignore any suggestion from Google Gemini, it’s just how their AI is trying to interpret the rule. It’s just generated words and those words are not pulled from the rulebook directly. The actual rule is in the statement, it’s pretty clear too. Inner edge where the white line starts. Hence a part of the wheels have to be touching the track to be safe

Similar thoughts to @Woke23 about the 2027 team. Klindt will be definitely a top target given how dominant he is at Northside, availability/cost a big factor as stated. I quite like Jakobsen too, so wouldn't mind if he was back at reserve. But this team fits quite well if the 40 point limit stays; Klindt 8.81 Rasmus Pedersen 5.00 Zischke 6.52 Batchelor 7.13 Vuolas 6.68 Perry 2.60 Foord 3.24 39.98

They don't count no, play offs, KO Cup and BSN semis/finals are excluded.

The biggest takeaway from this season should be the Home form, or lack of it. Every meeting we did win was far too close for comfort, often behind until the latter stages. Also finished the season with a negative points difference at Home, across all League home meetings which probably hasn't happened before in our modern era. Need to set up the team to win at home in 2027, especially when being realistic, we will probably lose the majority of away meetings no matter who is in the side, if you win all your home meetings and nick one away win, the club would be making the play offs more times than not. One rider I would 100% have back to achieve this is Antti Vuolas, he easily averaged 8.5+ in both 24/25 seasons at home. And if the points limit does drop to 38, he would be a handy signing again on his 6 point something average, even if he does struggle away. His average will be good value in a weaker league

Probably, makes no difference to the crowd. Most people will probably watch the GP's on demand anyways these days. The only time over the last 27 years we've avoided running alongside the GP's was when we had a rider in it. Running up against Workington Reds/Town at 3pm on Saturday/Sunday, is a far bigger issue in the Town IMO.

Well this probably proves that you know nothing outside your Poole bubble as he's already taken 6 rides+ in a meeting 10 times this season across PL + CL. So I would think he would know a thing or 2 about the tyres...
