I'm sure they all pretty much have their teams sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick Bandits, No signings Edinburgh Monarchs, Dan Thompson Glasgow Tigers, No signings Oxford Cheetas, No signings Plymouth Gladiators, Scott Nicholls, Danny King Poole Pirates, Richard Lawson, Will Cairns, Fraser Bowes Redcar bears, No signings Scunthorpe Scorpions, Josh Pickering, Ryan Ingram Workington Comets, Jonas Jeppesen, Tate Zischke Redcar are rumored to have all seven riders signed up , Glasgow will no doubt have Harris and a good few more already in line for next year, Workington will probably have the majority of the team in place.

I'm sure they all pretty much have their teams sorted. I think many promotions will leave their final couple of rider announcements until later, just in case the points limit changes on 6th January. Of course if the GP-level riders all quit the Premiership as Brady Kurtz suggests might be a possibility and they get places in Sweden and Denmark then that will free-up a few other riders who might then be looking for a place in UK. At the end of the day it'll all come down to cost and what clubs are prepared to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago I think for the nine Championship teams it is probably "business as usual", and they will have their teams sorted... Anyone they allow in later, (should they even do that), will just have to put together who they can... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear is the premier 5 are not going to let the championship be business as usual,?we have already seen a plan for 7premier and 6 championship with 1 team missing out, sadly I can see this mess ending badly for speedway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago If there is no 6th team of which I believe to be the case at this point, then make it one keague and crack on with the issues surrounding the 1 keague set up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely doing the right thing is ensuring league Speedway in GB continues for the next decade. Not ensuring GP riders can race over here? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk127 Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Could the Premier 5 run a shortened season covering June to August and use the rest of the season to run NDL teams. At least it would keep each of venues open while a longer term solution is put together. In that shortened season put highlights from the premier meetings on YouTube once a fortnight so as to get the message out to a wider audience and advertise all the other U K tracks running with an upcoming fixture list etc. Surely something is better than nothing and possibly losing some clubs altogether.

Think your right Cookie possibly even before that certainly as a team sport, it was always going to happen but has taken a lot longer than I thought it would, really from 1982 to now but the fact it took way longer doesn't make me any less sad about the outcome given it looks like last knockings are nearly here.
