What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
WookieboyDon replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Nope. Find where I said I want the same as last year. We all want British speedway to be where we were at least 15 years ago and more. -

Show me where my post says ‘last few years’. Read it again 👓 -
Well, this evening he has been posting on Instagram about next season and that he has signed his first contract for ‘26. I told him I would put Wimborne Road in the satnav and he replied by telling me to hold off on the postcode! Then he posted the following photo…notice the strategically placed pen…😉

Do Poole fans still think Cooper Rushen is a definite with you guys next season?

For the avoidance of doubt… Due to the current situation we find ourselves in, having a Premiership is the best way to promote the sport back to a level that we had in the past and for the sport to truly prosper again. That’s why I didn’t want one league. However, where we currently sit sees one league an inevitability. IMO that will only see the slow decline of the sport in this country till the death rattle in a few years time. That’s why I say be careful what you wish for. -

Absolute rubbish. Show me where I say in my post I’m blaming the fans. -

There’s a certain other ‘2030 vision’ that will kill speedway dead in the water…if you read Speedway Star a few weeks back you’ll know what I’m on about. -

I never wanted one big league. If you are trying to build the sport again in this country and bring in new eyes, there’s no better way to do that than by promoting that we have some of the world’s best racing handlebar to handlebar. The young age demographic, which is what the sport has to be aiming for, get attracted by ‘superstars’. One league now looks inevitable. For those that championed this, be careful what you wish for… -
Alfie Bowtell has just announced on his social media that he was advised by the club on Wednesday that he isn’t part of the Gladiator’s plans in ‘26.

Jonas Jeppesen confirmed

From what I understand it is still being pursued but was never going to be for ‘26. 2027 far more likely. The site isn’t Surbiton Raceway, it is the go kart and motocross track on Beddington Lane. Let’s hope it comes off, God knows we need some good news stories at the moment.

Been far too many in positions of power that have ignored the obvious for years now… Well, you know what they say…bend over and bury your head in the sand for too long and you’ll get fuc….

We won't be seeing Tai in the Premiership next season (if it runs). Has announced a deal with Dackarna today. -
This is not good for speedway in this country...in any way, shape or form. In fact, this now moves the situation to dire IMO. An outside of the box, forward thinking and progressive promoter now no longer wishes to stay at the table. "Some things no longer align for me..." That line tells you all you need to know. 😔
-
If that last part IS true then Stewart Dickson has a decision to make...
-
That's not a definite. His Polish mechanic was quoted as saying that Tai was going to concentrate solely on Poland. However, just a couple of weeks later Woffy then said himself he hasn't ruled out racing in the UK next season, his phone is always on and is willing to talk.
-
I think there'll be more of that over the winter and into the spring to promote the new season. It's the stuff going on behind the scenes regarding his numerous contacts and potential new sponsors...

The delay (if true) is more than likely for a number of reasons, relating from Sheffield and Northampton to bagging new sponsors and, most important of all, a new tv deal. If the latter is still under negotiation, then they need to give it time to hopefully be completed. After all, if they do get one sorted then it would have a big bearing on league structure and who is in what league based on tv money. We just need to be patient. This isn’t a time for knee jerk reactions. -
Tried to sign Bewley and spent too much time trying to make it happen when the chances were pretty much zero...
