Thank you

Where did you get this information. Nothing on the Sheffield Speedway website. Nothing on the BSPA website,

Hang on. Hang on Hang on Not a massive fan, but on average 5:76, I would definitely take him on.

Also you have to remember that Poland have stated that riders riding in the Polish League can only ride in one other league. Danes have to ride in the Danish League, so as things stand most of those Dane's you have used will not be riding in the UK. So you can rule out the following from your lists. Ipswich: Fredrik Jacobsen, Mikkel Andersen Sheffield: Jonas Jeppesen and Vllads Nagel Kings Lynn; Ben Basso Northampton: Niels Kristian Iversen

I think Damien needs to check his gate receipts, when there is a meeting been live stream. Looking at the crowd last Thursday which was live streamed on BSN the crowds were definitely down, from previous weeks when there was no live stream. To attend a meeting costs £26 plus £4 for a programme, compare that to the price of a live stream in comfort of your home represents a decent saving, and even better if you can shared the costs between two of you. There is a cost of living crisis and money is tight and people will be looking ways to cut costs. I don't know whether other clubs have the same problem, but for me it is blindingly obvious that live streaming effects the crowds.

Exactly the stadium owners take all of the money for the car park. So bearing in mind that the the football club have sold nearly 23,000 season tickets. Would not make sound business sense to upset the football crowd.

The big thing is that the football crowd use the car park at Owlerton stadium.

Premiership Predictions 2026
spin king replied to TheTopDrawer's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I will go with. (1) Kings Lynn (2) Sheffield (3) Belle Vue (4) Leicester (5) Ipswich (6) Northampton -
1929 Sheffield opened.

Pure guess from me on the Ipswich team. I think that they will go with a very UK looking team. Brennan Lawson Wright King Tungate Kerr Edwards

Nice to see Ipswich sale finally going through. One thing I would is due to the late sale the Ipswich team will more than likely have a totally different look to what fans are use to. At Sheffield we went through a similar situation when the Bates consortium took over Sheffield. Before we the sale going through we had only two riders signed (Simon Stead and Adam Roynon), the rest of the team were very much rag tag and bobtail of riders who did not have a team. It will be interesting to see how the Ipswich fans react, when they have been used to having big named riders like Jason Doyle and Emil, when this season the likelihood that Ipswich number 1 will be Tom Brennan. At Sheffield we more or less put up with the weakened team, and waited to see what the team was like the following season.

What about Northampton?

Could it be Northampton Bees. -
What about Northampton?
spin king replied to RoundTheBoards's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Just a quick thought. Could Northampton be a temporary base with view of trying to move back to Coventry (Brandon). Not first time that a sporting club have moved to Northampton. Coventry City Football team move to Northampton a few seasons ago. -
His last average riding for Kings Lynn 2023 was 7:81. Would he be given a 2.5% UK reduction is up for debate.

I hear what you are saying. But It is a weaker league than last season. Teams this season have from 40 points limit for the top 6, down to 37 points. Theoretically with lesser teams in the league the points limit should have gone up rather than down. I think it is going to difficult to predict which teams are going to finish in the Play Off positions, which all teams will be aiming for.

No Surprises then welcome back again Picko.

I would say that it will be Josh Pickering over Tom Brennan after what he told the Speedway Star regarding the structure of the League's for the coming season. Given a choice I would rather go with Josh over Tom.
-
I reckon they will go with Chris Holder, Josh Pickering and Jye Etheridge. Rising Star either Jody Scott or Luke Harrison.
-
For the record has Chris Louis gone public on the real reason for putting the club up for sale? Has he actually stated that he does not agree with the way the sport has been run? Or could it be that there are other reasons, which would be private like family/ health reasons. Chris Louis comes across a proud man, could he live with the idea that he was the man to possibly shutdown Ipswich speedway. Or does he have a buyer waiting to takeover the club.

I think some of the Sheffield fans who think that Brennan is a dirty rider are thinking back to his Guest appearance for Sheffield 2024. Sheffield v Kings Lynn Heat 10 Brennan dived under Kvech and kept taking Kvech out to the fence, who had to get off the throttle to avoid crashing out. It was a naughty move that some may construe as dirty riding some say it was hard riding. Interesting Brennan finished 2nd in the race and finished the night on a 4 ride paid maximum.

Never been a particular fan of Tom Brennan. But if had the chance to sign him, I would not say no. I remember him doing a Guest booking at Owlerton and he did well. In saying all that I think he will be at Ipswich next season.
