Maybe Max’s average doesn’t fit and they need to have a 2 pointer to fit in the other remaining rider to be announced?

They’ve actually got 12.25 left and Simon Lambert’s average is 4.48 I’ll go for: Jye Etheridge (5.45) Simon Lambert - (4.48) Max Perry - (2.29) Total 🟰 39.97

I believe a lot of that money “owed” is also director loans that they have no intention of calling in

How on earth is this to the detriment of the sport, would you have rather that another 5 tracks closed down (remember they weren’t being allowed to join the championship) With the loss of so many tracks over recent years, we need as many running as possible and whilst 5 teams is far from ideal, it’s better than the league not running at all, and buys some breathing space for a year to regroup and come up with a plan for the future without having 5 venues/groups of fans with no speedway in 2026.

Would be the same problem for new owners?

So is Louis going to run Ipswich if we have a 6 team league?

If not Klima then how about Declan Kennedy (4.63) at number 6?

So what’s the latest on this? Still no lease agreement?

Didn’t they announce Palovaara as completing their heat leader trio which confirms no Drew? “ BERWICK have added Swedish star Victor Palovaara to their heat-leader department for the 2026 season.”

Don’t think Francis Gusts (5.49) or Cameron Heeps (4.93) will fit at Oxford if they sign Killeen and McDiarmid as expected. Could they be the final two?

Bastian Borke? 4.57

Where are they off to then?

It has gone quiet, but now other teams are announcing I think it looks like some sort of combination of: Connor Mountain Luke Harrison Zaine Kennedy Declan Kennedy MPT Nathan Ablitt

I can’t see many available spaces left for Drew if he isn’t at Scunthorpe

A lot of assumptions that Zach is signing?

Pathetic running of a sport that he is a director of….

And if Ipswich and/or Sheffield don’t get new owners then it leaves Belle Vue, Leicester and Kings Lynn with nothing to run?

I don’t think Connor is riding this year but Luke Harrison on 4.97 would fit nicely?

Ah thank you, in which case I stand corrected. Does mean Poole would have been a point below the limit

All this talk of Beau Bailey but it’s now becoming clear that he was never going to fit into the team with a 5.00 point average? Anders starts the season on 7.38 and if he pulled out late and is now replaced with Zach on 7.34 then Poole would never have had 5 points available for the number 2 position and therefore Gilkes was probably always in the team. Poole 1. Richard Lawson 9.58 2. Dan Gilkes 4.59 3. Lewis Kerr 6.77 4. Fraser Bowes 5.63 5. Zach Cook 7.34 6. William Cairns 3.81 7. Cooper Rushen 2.00 = 39.72, with Anders it would have been 39.76. Therefore there was never an extra 0.41 to have had Beau instead of Gilkes .

But I suspect the rest of the team was initially signed to leave a Drew Kemp (7.88) sized gap?

But there aren’t many riders available on a similar average?

Not many options left for Drew if he doesn’t want a Sat track. Scunthorpe, Oxford or Poole?

Still trying to think outside the box, what’s the state of play at Wolverhampton, Rye House, Kent (Sittingbourne) Do they still have tracks down?

I hear you but as you say the stadium is a money pit and they have the choice of some income v no income
