You were confident last year! I’d wait until the team is officially announced before either lamenting it or singing its praises. Always the best way.

 I don't think i've named our team on here. Just that i'm happy with it. We did have a couple of riders jump ship last season. I'm pretty confident this season. Time will tell.

The only American thing I mentioned was WWE, you’re not calling that a “sport” surely? If you’re talking actual sports, the only people that like them are Americans. 
 

I can’t agree with you I’m sorry. I’ll never ever get on board with a sport that restricts certain clubs due to a previous season’s good performance, whilst giving preferential treatment to a club that had a poor year. That’s a complete and utter nonsense and the fact a few people liked your post, really sums up this “sport” and the people that follow it to a T. 

Maybe in football, let Ipswich Town, Southampton and Leicester play with 12 men instead of 11? That should insure a more competitive game against Man City. Or how about in Darts, when world number 1 Luke Humphries faces world number 75 Robert Owen, make Luke play with two darts instead of three. 
 

When Ronnie plays anyone else, make him use the butt end of his cue!

The NFL draft pick system works very well and it's not always the same teams near the top at the end of the season so I think that's a great idea, not just about who has the biggest wallet.

Goes back about 60 years when they made the big 4 start on a handicap because they were too good. How bonkers is that

I heard personally from a speedway rider 2 days ago that Harris has signed for Lynn 100%… but there is a load of people on here still saying that he’s signed for Sheffield, so I have no idea

I've got the same info as you.

Perhaps Bomber is now out due to the utter nonsense that Phil Morris is apprently pushing for in regards to 6 clubs having to make sacrifices for 1 club.

Well out of order if it turns out to be the case. We build a team that imho has a chance of top 4 for a change, and might have it torn up. It's a Mickey Morris Mouse sport if that happens..

100%, #TwoTierMorris lol, Playing favourites in regards to his former club Birmingham.

I believe he's pushing for it as well because it makes sense with the following.

 

Jack Holder potentially leaving (Sheffield would have to get rid of one of the power trio)

Tom Brennan possibly not joining Ipswich and staying put at Birmingham (Dictated to by Phil Morris)

Chris Harris potentially not being at KL (KL would have to get rid of someone in the 1-7 and replace them with someone like Lewis Kerr)

British Speedway HAS been Mickey Mouse for a couple of decades now. But if this manipulation comes to fruition it's on a level par to religion. Totally fake, fictional nonsense.

If this is true , what a load of bollocks !!!!  its worse than the old style rider control ....

Be interesting to see if Ben Cook can take that next step as a Star in 2025, there’ll be more pressure on him in that side than there was at BV in 2024 

[noaksey]

The problem with the football analogy is that those teams will never run out of opposition to play, that's a real possibility for speedways premier league. Leave Birmingham and Lynn if you like to it but don't complain when there are only 5 teams left

I think Ben will kick on, his average is 6.99 as it stands and I expect him to finish 2025 in the 7’s… can’t see him going down

If that happens then it’s an absolute joke!! Well, even more of a joke anyway

there was no pressure on him at B/vue and if there was he stepped up and won the league !!

If the sport was ran properly in this country there would be more tracks around the fundamentals of the sport are broken.

Football wouldn’t be the multi billion pound industry it is if it had been ran like speedway has been.

That said speedway would never have a chance of being as big as football even if ran properly but don’t forget at one point it was the second biggest attended sport in the uk before the promoters cocked it up.

Agree with all that but we are where we are, do they try and preserve what is there now or do we just accept the natural order and work out what to do when 5 teams are left? Tricky

To be honest it’s to far gone to save now, what are there 17 tracks now which half the riders in the top league doubling up/down.

I had several years away after giving up on the sport & returned as an occasional supporter in 2016.

To be honest the combo or Doyle & Emil got me back as a full time supporter to my local track Ipswich in 2023, I’ll be there again next year but I’m just going to enjoy it as long as those two are there.

If our team is the team that’s been suggested (B Cook, Iversen, Kvech, Klindt, Lawson, Harris, Boughen) then I think we have a good chance of making top 4… but if it’s any worse than that 7 then we’ve got no chance! I won’t be going if the team is worse than that stated above
