Grand Final 2nd leg Ipswich vs Leicester
FishersGate replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If Ipswich get off to a strong start it's game over. If that happens then fair play Ipswich deserved play off winners. -
I don't think walking the league counts as finishing second in my eyes but each to there own I guess. Injuries are part and parcel of the sport unfortunately, Ipswich were unfortunate but so we're Sheffield losing woffy and Leicester losing Becker. I wouldn't say Dan T is Ipswich biggest weapon. Your biggest weapon is your number 1 surely? Dan T is a great rider but not Ipswich biggest weapon at all. Also Ipswich didn't exactly p*as the KO cup semi final did they? Lost to a side that didn't even challenge for the play offs..again doesn't seem like walking to me.

Heat 15 has thrown a spanner in the works but a small spanner at best. This is the Ipswich side we haven't really seen all season, strong reserves and two world class riders setting the standards. I really think Ipswich just need a couple of early 4 2s and it's done. I wouldn't have any complaints either, they were everyone's favourites for the title before a bike had even turned. Proud as a lions fan regardless of the outcome, didn't expect the KO cup or a play off final so I'm still happy with our season overall even if we get smashed at Foxhall, and heck I've got nothing against Ipswich. Let's hope the second leg gets tasty!!

What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
FishersGate replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I don't give a toss about GP riders here, I really just want clubs to stay open and the future of the sport to be protected. As much as I love watching Fricke at Leicester, I'm not going to be selfish and demand riders like him stay just because he's top quality. IMO there are enough decent riders out there to create a bigger league but it would be a watered down championship. I'm ok with this personally, I love speedway in the NDL as much as the premiership. I think Poole are the best argument for my case, serial winners and the I don't hear any fans moaning about the standard or quality of riders, yes it helps they build great sides every year but I highly doubt Scunny or Plymouth fans are going to be running to the terraces if they join the premiership next season. It didn't work for Oxford or Birmingham did it? and the crowds at Leicester have actually dropped since moving leagues. Trust me I would love it if a few clubs could come back and join the premiership, but it isn't happening is it? And who will it benefit exactly? I cant think of one championship club that would benefit from moving leagues. All the people suggesting one big league wont work haven't come up with any other solution have they? What is it then? A 5 team Premiership? Northampton to join the prem for financial suicide? Poole moving up? ( That wont work because race nights) Glasgow moving up? ( They wont sacrifice the Scottish derby) . -
Saying that there is speculation the prem and championship are merging pretty much tells me that it's likely it's happening
