especially when/if Rushen signs elsewhere.

Troy batchelor will be a great Christmas present I agree

I think theyve sponsored him for a while, its not a new relationship.

Think a lot depends on the new two boys in the middle order, also need some real progress from the two reserves too.

Mercenary

I absolutely hated watching the Peterborough promotion celebrating their league win a few years ago knowing a few days later they would be at Kings Lynn with their merch on.

this is probably what is going to happen at this point with the view of sorting the mess out for 2027, but they can barely manage to conjure up a league 4 months away let alone plan for 2027.

it basically said as much in the speedway star, but what is he expecting to happen? a team being forced to run in the premiership to make it up to 6? which is still a stupidly low number for a top league.

Big crowds at national league level too, maybe there is a lesson there somewhere…

the current league setup also 'sucks' though. Cant compare something that happened 30 years ago to now, at the end of the day if Belle Vue dont like it the options are either put up with it or dont run.

maybe they could get a guest for him, its what currently happens so whats the difference?

Back again with your anti British Speedway rhetoric.

think Bowes is a good signing to be honest.

you do exactly the same to Poole and Belle Vue to be fair.

Just because one team made it work doesn’t mean all the others will, how many teams have come and gone in the top league now? None of them could make it work, it just doesn’t work in this country anymore unless you have deep pockets or sponsors with even deeper pockets

it isnt though is it, its a complete joke to even call it a league with just five teams. the sport has barely any credibility as it is, there will be even less if the top 'league' has so few teams.

yes i did, maybe you can change it to 'educated estimates' like you did in one of the replies?

where are the facts?

Ive seen moments of absolute quality in the national league and championship too, its not just the world class riders. Its obvious at this point the premiership experiment has failed and clubs (apart from maybe two) cannot afford to fork out the big contracts anymore.

Think I read previously that this has been looked at fairly recently but there’s a rule that means it can’t happen as it’s too close to Kings Lynn?

There’s one poster on here that is calling out British national league riders by name for some reason, but no it’s everyone else that is anti British speedway

Let down by who?

looks more professional than anyone in speedway has done ever to be honest, and its just for a merch drop.

not sure whats happened to the ipswich fans, finally won a trophy after years of trying and now theyre all on there 'premiership' high horse. you were also rans in the second division for absolute years, maybe you will be again soon...

i was thinking about this earlier and whether a north/south would work, allows double up/sideways and should give riders enough meetings as well as more local derbys
