Today is the confirmation that Stal have an approved 2026 licence to ride in the league.

Official 2027 rule change. Foreign riders will only be able to compete in one foreign league along with their Polish league. I assume majority will choose Scandinavia as it’s easier for travel and visa purposes. This could leave British speedway well and truly out on its own.

Half the championship heat leaders ride because they can afford it due to the championship, I’m not telling people they have to jump up, it’s their decision. I’m simply stating is the premiership doesn’t run then watch speedway further fall.

Championship will last a couple years max if premiership doesn’t run. People need to realise it’s in everyone’s best interest to have two leagues.

Awards night on Friday night so I guess it’s a last minute decision along with the council to hold it that day.

I hope they have a good turn out! I’ll be going to show the boys my support for their amazing performance this year! Wonder if Rew will be invited! I love the Witches, doing this shows how much the club means to them and another chance to open it up to the audience who are casually shopping or walking by. Having a celebration like Torun shows how Chris Louis knows how to run a speedway club 👏🏻 With Fabio in for a World Title shot next year and ITFC surely pushing eventually for a premiership push, this seems fitting for the town to have a celebration 🎉

Riders who are doubling up will have to now choose what they prefer and champ will have to pay more to entice them! Thompson is riding overseas next year so the Ipswich current team only have king and Edwards who it would effect?

Broke his leg. Operation tomorrow.

What’s ‘arry saying about that one! Probably nothing because he doesn’t know BSN exists!

Congrats red car your deserved it! Jody rode amazing! Put some dirt on the outside finally at Poole and they couldn’t ride it 😂 lucky they didn’t do the same against Glasgow or it could have gone different! Congrats both teams for trophies though ! 🏆

Wonder if he will speak about next year and signing for the worst speedway team in Poland, Krakow ! 😂

Tax fraud between 2018-2019 with a total of 183 charges. He was arrested 21st Oct and later released. Statement from him: Of course, I confirm that there was an arrest yesterday for the law enforcement agencies to perform procedural actions in the tax case, which, according to my information, is on a nationwide scale. In my case, it concerns events from many years ago, and my thread is of marginal importance. The activities in my case have been terminated and the prosecutor's office has no further questions for me, because I have submitted exhaustive explanations. After completing the activity, I returned home and I am not detained, and any other information on this matter is untrue. On this occasion, I would like to sensitize young players to always reliably check the people they work with, because being fully focussed on their career, it is easy to make a mistake of trusting dishonest advisors. Until the end of the investigation, I cannot provide more information due to the good of the investigation

People drop the championship because the nights and weekends they are run on whereas Poland and other leagues are better to ride in than the championship. If you gave the top championship riders the choice to drop one, what would they drop? They certainly wouldn’t financially be able to ride in the championship alone.

Matt ford said it not me. The top tier need the second tier to try and then justify why they are "different" and the "highest level" and more expensive to watch... The second tier need the top tier as those who double up can then afford to ride for them for 2nd tier money... The likes of Poole and Glasgow could be seen as being happy to be "big fishes in a small pond"..

Chris Louis to received an award earlier next month for Ipswich’s contribution.

Chris Louis to be greeted with another award next month I see!

These championship team fans need to be careful what they wish for, saying their league is better than the prem yet if the prem didn’t pay the likes of Z.Cook, Lawson, Wright, King etc big money, thus helping them ride in the second tier, they wouldn’t have many good riders at all. Take out their riders who ride in the prem and it’s a pretty poor standard. Everyone can say Prem is better or Champ is better but the fact is Speedway needs to be better.

All lot is true in this statement apart from the fact premiership champions Ipswich got more international publicity than Poole overseas.

Lambert has no thought of coming back to British speedway until there are less meetings.

Goes back to my point, massive cash injection needed for the prem to become a super league with just top stars riding but fewer teams. No point limit and acquire the best riders to build the best team and the fans would certainly benefit. 5 teams, 4 for the play off with the 5th team being relegated so every match counts. Promotion will be key for champ teams so they secure the big money injection of the prem. Just need to temp the Saudis 😂

So what the Premiership needs, much like football, is a massive injection of money so riders don’t have to double up and ride in the championship. Then championship teams would be desperate to ride in the prem for money, but you then add promotion and relegation so you have jeopardy . That would be the catalyst for some good racing and more risk, bringing fans in as they would see some meaning to the meetings. Not this joke of any team choosing what league they want to ride in. A lot of championship fans on here comment “let the premiership run how it wants and we will do our own thing” so let that be the case. No doubling up, all top riders ride in Prem only due to money being bigger, and championship and NDL can do their own thing, see how many then want to make the jump up to the top league. The Prem should be the ‘promise land’ and all champ teams want to be in it, dilute their teams and league but limiting the top riders only in the prem and see how many comments change then, as all they want to do is dilute the prem to be their level of riders.

And drop who though? Out of interest, anyone think King might leave Ipswich now he mission is pretty much complete winning both cup and league?

You often come with false news. I wrote before that they are riding next year. Let’s see who actually has facts.

Think I’d rather see Rew and Ellis both than Musielak
