Neila Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago If pilots had boxed clever regarding cairns, they could have used him as guest for 5 meetings, get other guest bookings wherever, then sign him full time on a 2.00 average for 2026, think a bit of an oops by pilots management 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps that would have been seen as so blatant that there would have been a risk of retaliation (for example by including play-off scores in GSA calculations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tate Z would be 1 point to high on points available if it is Lawson/Rowe/Zach Cook/Cairns/Bailey (4) and Rushden. I calculate 5.88 left. If that's the case cant see anything that excites at that kind of level based on latest GSA's. Glasgow have shown there are exciting Overseas youngsters out there on a 5 and Nagel has shown that and could well be their title winner. It's whether the Ford's want to dip in their pockets to help finance one of the many good ones who would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true, then Workington won’t have a speedway team at any level for much longer. Apart from the usual die hard like myself, a lot of people wouldn’t watch national league racing.

It’s since they moved up that it’s been a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to the Fords I don’t think they will ‘dip in their pockets’ easy option would be to keep Tobias which wouldn’t be a good move.

If they can land Beau Bailey and they can avoid putting day one pressure on him , they would certainly have an awesome signing on their hands, he's an out and out racer who looks like he has a massive future ahead of him.

Potentially could have left Ritchings in for another month, then signed Cairns when they only had 5 league meetings left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fords 'will be dipping into their pockets' to pay for the new air fence! As for Tobias, it is suggested that his Danish club will be in their top league next year so Wednesday fixtures!!! Thats why Plymouth or Glasgow might be better options for him.......?!😜 In any case, until the league format, number of teams and the 'agreed' 40points limit are confirmed, its a bit pointless looking at possible line-ups for 2026, imo!!
