And where does that leave stand alone clubs like Buxton?

1. Sam Masters 8.99 2. Sam Hagon 3.71 3. Kyle Howarth 8.08 4. Luke Killeen 6.03 5. Tom Brennan 8.64 6. Max Perry 2.52 7. Harry Fletcher 2.00 I’ll have a guess at the above, total 39.97

More likely to be Ben Cook I reckon

I think you are missing the point, most teams are having to weaken significantly to get back within the points limit and so keeping the Bears team similar with a much stronger back up to Wright with King as second heat leader is not too bad at all.

Why is nobody mentioning Jeppesen? Is he not coming back?

If it’s Batch and Nicholls, then I’ll go for something like this: Nicholls - 7.95 Thomsen - 4.86 Barker - 7.57 Klima - 5.04 Batchelor - 7.04 Grmek - 3.56 Foord - 3.30 Total 🟰 39.32

I hope they have some heat leaders lined up as most rumours are linking Danny King back to Redcar and obviously not sure if Scott Nicholls is riding next season

But I’m still interested in the fact Oxford are going for a third heat leader above 8.00 If that’s true then with Masters, Brennan and Killeen already signed it effectively means 2 x 2 pointers at reserve and a 3.00/3.50 pointer at number 2

I was responding to a previous post stating that Zach is staying as number 1

Why not Zach and Rich? Most rumours say the one rider over 8 rule is being dropped. Z. Cook 8.54 C. Rushen 5.01 W. Cairns 6.44 L. Harrison 5.70 R. Lawson 8.15 S. Lightcap 4.00 2 point rider 2.00

Not distinctly average at all, still a young lad learning his trade and one of the UK’s brightest young prospects! Plenty more to come from him next season

Then why are the other premiership teams happy to fork out to bring other teams to the tapes to get the TV deal over the line?

So we’ll shut Plymouth down then and not have a television deal putting other clubs in financial jeopardy. Classic case of “As long as my team is alright” Eventually you’ll have nobody to ride against

Yh I hear what you are saying but the problem last year was that we didn’t know if the premiership was running at all with the problems at Ipswich or Sheffield. The question this year is a different one, how many teams are running in each league so there’s no reason the existing teams can’t start building teams to the already agreed points limit with the AGM to follow later to ratify the league line ups and rules for the season?

I’m not sure why people are so impatient? The league starts next April so does it really matter if the AGM is in November, December, January, February? If the wait means the return/reopening of a couple of tracks and a television deal then it’s worth the wait? If that also allows Plymouth some more time to get their air fence fund complete so they can run then that’s another good thing. Surely we all want as many tracks as possible running next season?

Still lots going on behind closed doors, lots of obstacles but nobody is giving up on 2027 yet.

IF Brennan signs then surely it will also mean a return for one of his best mates Nathan Ablitt

IF they are successful with this then it’s not a shoestring budget and cheap team, plan is to be there for the long term

Just what I said on Wednesday, there is a consortium willing to run in the premiership next season, lots of positive conversations held. A different consortium from the one you were involved with that want to run national league. I got shot down in flames last year for saying Northampton was going to happen so I’ll not say too much out of respect to those involved but watch this space

I already told you that a few days ago 😂

It wouldn’t be her choice, it would be up to the receivers whether to accept the offer or not. Could be an excellent way to acquire the lease cheaply (dependant on the level of debt of course)

Firstly best of luck to Plymouth, really hope they can come to the tapes in 2027 as we can ill afford to lose any more teams, particularly in the South. However I do have a genuine question, why have they waited so long to start and appeal as they appear to be up against it now with only 3-4 weeks to raise the money by the deadline. Have they only just found out they needed to replace the fence? Only asking as if they’d had the whole season to request donations then I’d have been happy to chip in monthly for example.

No conclusive evidence!? 😂😂 Just watch it back and then come back to us.

Terrible from the referee when he had all of the TV replays available. Clearly both wheels over the line and that’s now a hollow victory. A real shame as it’s spoilt what was a fantastic meeting.
