Six teams only ( but one is struggling for a sponsor to make it viable ), no NDL Trophy league. No Shared team from Scun/ Sheffield. No Colts, no Plymouth and no Kent obviously. So only 5 home matches for any newbies to learn there way around to have a home advantage. Still…….more teams than the premiership !

Kent not running any form of speedway in 2026

No, problem….this is personal knowledge….and the best example of quite a few. Redcar v Glasgow 2018 , not completed by heat 10 due to a major crash meaning meeting could no longer continue. Decision by Vatcher that evening having consulted with the ref ( McGregor ) and both sets of promoters that the RULE says to be RERUN . Two days later in a press release…..match awarded ( to Glasgow who were leading at the time ). The reason why THE RULE wasn’t followed ?….. We all know why ! and our promoter at the time, Kev Kay , told the fans that as he threatened the BSPA with legal action of not following their own rule book. One reason why new promoters get frustrated and leave the sport as you can’t beat the ‘establishment’ and their ways. The Top Table have always looked after themselves first.

You cant even get the title right……it was the 2025 AGM !

He wants a ‘ JOB ‘……that pays !

Both Plymouth and Berwick have ‘bad boys’ with reputations in their team ( both riders have been banned by the SCB ) so some do get another chance.

This cant be a serious post, can it ? They dont even know how many teams are running never mind who's left to play who and when ! -
So I can put you down as a certainty for a season ticket then .
-
Were you expecting Zmarzlik at 6 and Kurtz at 7 ?
-
Ditto.

Thanks for including your selfie.

Your definitely consistent. why would any person make ‘guarantees’ about a sale ? It’s up for sale NOW …..and will be till its SOLD.
-
If the rumours were true that Masters was owed money by the club ( amongst others ) then he’s not certain to be back , although those ‘ cash flow ‘ issues may have been resolved by now.
-
Silly statement again. its his club , it’s his decision to make and I think he’s entitled to make it whatever your opinion of it.
-
But he hasn’t ! it’s his club and he’s entitled to say whatever he wants.
-
What a silly statement. He can’t guarantee anything as it’s ‘ up for sale ‘…..not ‘sold’ !
-
Only sometimes ?
-
Why is he ‘ acting like a spoilt brat ‘ ? if you don’t like the way the business your involved in is being run then why not walk away ? He obviously knows the full picture of what’s being proposed and wants nothing to do with it and has every right to walk away from it. I think that the fact that someone as successful as Louis is walking away tells us the death bells are ringing for the premiership , if not the sport , and that it needs a revolution from within or you won’t have long left to vent your rants at.

Doesn’t mean he’ll actually get to ride for them.
-
Doubling up ( and trebling up ) has made the sport ridiculous and caused nothing but problems , not only for public credibility but now we advocate more of it. Clubs cant even sort a fixture list out in a nine club league !
-
Thus making the two , supposedly different leagues, exactly the same ! Whilst I’m all for trying to find ways of getting lads rides let’s try to have some credibility in the sport.
