How much will the gp boys be getting from prize money this year ? I got the impression it was never massive money and the main plus to being in the gp was it helped get better personal sponsors, I never remember it being a major earner other than when Andreas Jonson won that race that was worth was it $100,000 dollars ?
-
The one thing they have going for them is that Ippo and probably Poole are the two best supported clubs in the UK so the fanbase is there to start with, so long as someone doesn't go crazy on the budget and the team isn't dire you should stand a chance of hopefully making a small profit.

Better call Harry sharpish maybe he can get Sam Fox in for opening night and see if Skybet can come up with a seven figure deal for the league.
-
Imagine the scenes
-
Can't fault Lambo for loyalty to the league and effort but your right with the greatest respect its not like hearing the new owners had managed to get Beau Bailey in at six.
-
I'm none the wiser
-
Rambo Lambo at six

What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
YeOldPitGate replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Sarah needs 20k sharpish off someone to pay the rent. -
Whats the general gist ?
-
Freddie would be a great signing if they could get him one of the few on a par with Emil with excitement.
-
Lets hope he doesn't want Sudden Sam rates when he cleaned up at reading for a year.
-
Yep they will have eyes on all that lovely council tax they can hoover up by putting as many small boxes as they can squeeze onto the site.
-
Or knock it off the asking price.
-
Looks one of those teams that could surprise a few if they all click or be bang average at best if they don't.
-
I've no inside knowledge but didn't Matt Ford say Championship was roughly a third cheaper than the prem ? given I would imagine stadium rent would be the same regardless of league I can't see that wages in the Prem being double against the championship when the overall saving is only 30%.
-
Lynn fans always enjoy their speedway also helps that the three lads named should be core England lads in 5-7 years so long as they avoid big smashes and aren't expected to jump to high to soon and have confidence smashed as we have seen with many English decent young prospects over the years.

2026 Premiership is Go! - At least 5 teams

Yes wasn't a great outcome when Rob couldn't name the fella who's supposed to be one of the saviours. -
Theres always been a decent hardcore at Lynn even when I started going in 84 we were truly awful until Bill Barker took over and brought in the dream team that also flopped .From possibly 84-87 we were woeful but the crowds held up pretty well. When Barker and Simmo took over and we looked powerhouse, opening match there must have been 4-5k turn up. I also remember when Poole turned up one bank hol Monday with Holder and Ward and Buster said it was the best crowd since the mid 70's which again proved run on the right days for the punters with half attractive teams and they will come.

Maria Whittaker to cut the red ribbon at the Jubilee Cup final ? -
And world class at swearing.
-
When I saw that name Viv Muddle I honestly thought posters were taking the p-ss and he was a made up rider.
-
Antti would be decent around Scunny Borke was shaping up as a promising youngster but that bad crash in 2024 really knocked him back any idea if he is fully fit now physically and mentally ?
-
Hence the rumours around Woffy I guess he's possibly Englands greatest ever rider but personally I think his days at the very top are over plus he's coming back from horrific injuries, I don't like how he drops f bombs every thirty seconds when kids are potentially within earshot but on the flipside his courage and mental strength are something to be admired. Equally can't blame him for taking the wild card I just hope he stays safe and injury free for the coming year he's overdue a run without his body taking more knocks.
-
That would be the logical move Mike to try and help them maybe thats why Kurtz is being delayed, I just hope they don't get stuck with someone 5-10 years past their sell by date who stiffs the owners for ten's of thousands and delivers near zero.
-
Would be a great signing if they could get him, if you can't have Emil he is probably as good a replacement as you could hope for.
