What about Northampton?

Can’t agree with that… -

With Pete Adams as TM?! -
Bewley being at Ipswich next season is as likely as Emil being there. Peter Shroeck went down that route of pursuing something that was never going to happen and paid the price…

Bye Emil. Thank you for your class and the memories.

Zach Cook will not be racing in the Championship next season

Makes no difference to the point both you and I made…

I’d fact check before making comments like that. Blatantly not true. They are great at plenty of sports as already mentioned in another post, not to mention that they have one of the greatest female tennis players in Iga Swiatek who is a four time French Open champion, has won the US Open and the biggest of them all, Wimbledon.

It’s been announced in Poland today that any rider affiliated with a Polish team in their top two divisions in 2027 will only be allowed to compete in one other foreign league. That’s going to put some cats among the pigeons.

Philip Hellström Bangs
WookieboyDon replied to WookieboyDon's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The two youngsters I’d love to see in the UK next year are Nazar Parnitskyi and Adam Bednar. Big fan of both, especially Nazar but can’t see him here next season unfortunately. But Bednar will light up the tracks here if he signs for the Stars. -
Reports coming out of Poland today suggesting Philip Hellström Bangs will be giving the Ekstraliga a miss in ‘26 and his priority is a ride in the UK. If so, where will he end up?

Speedway Star Deliveries
WookieboyDon replied to bellevueace's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Normally arrives either on a Thursday or a Friday for me. On the odd occasion and it can go into the following week, mainly on a Monday but that is down to Royal Mail’s unpredictability. -
Just back from a week’s holiday in Rhodes and on the second day I was wearing my Dan Bewley Wroclaw shirt around the pool. Later that evening while at the bar, someone appeared behind me and asked if I was Polish or English as he had seen me wearing the shirt. I replied English and he introduced himself as Andreas Bergstrom. We chatted briefly for ten minutes before I had to go. A few evenings later I saw him again and this time we spent the evening sinking plenty of whiskey and rum and putting the speedway world to rights! A top fella with a lovely family. Couldn’t speak highly enough about Berwick, the club and its supporters (less complimentary about a certain person who was at the club when he rode though!) His stories were brilliant, funny, eye opening and his opinion on a certain Swedish ex-World Champion was surprising! 😉 His thoughts on speedway’s current crop were also very interesting, and his love for Bomber Harris oozed out of him. His fears for the future of both Swedish and British speedway echo many of our own, as do his ideas of how to promote the sport and turn it round. But as he said himself, there are too many people in positions of power who don’t want wholesale change for the better due to their own business interests. He currently runs his own industrial firm which is extremely busy but hopes to get some time off to come to watch the GP in the UK next year when hopefully we can meet up again. The only downside meeting him was that I’m still in the doghouse with the missus for chatting to him all night at the bar rather than spending it with her and our daughter! 🤣

From listening to the rumour mill, reading between the lines of his reactions to social media posts as well as talking to him briefly on social media as well, he’ll be at Poole in ‘26. Along with National League, Kings Lynn being one of those teams as he has a very close relationship with the club. IMO he is the best young British talent to come through since our current top two. The tassels and colour scheme make him stand out and that is exactly what speedway needs, something different from the norm that gets you noticed. I understand that Chris Louis was seriously impressed by him recently at Ipswich. Has already visited and tested at a few Polish tracks over the summer. Being a Wroclaw fan I am desperate for them to get his signature but I have a serious hunch that Leszno have won the race for that. He is our next big thing. Speed, great racecraft, brave, seems a great kid. I’m an unashamed fan and have already bought his merchandise. As a well known phone company a few years back used as its tagline…”The future’s bright, the future’s orange…”

Gorzow in big trouble. Bank will grant the required loan but only with the city's guarantee (which they have previously said they won't do again). The club is once again having to write to the city's councillors and asking for help. List of liabilities (in Zlotys): Commercial 4.5 million Riders 2.8 million Bank loans 3.8 million Employees 1.1 million Leasing 0.7 million Receivables 3.9 million

Fantastic news that there were no serious injuries.

Thoughts and prayers with those injured. Results don’t matter given the circumstances. 🙏🏻
