Glasgow Tigers 2026

[2ndbend123]

Glasgow can rule Zischke out. I have it on good authority he will remain at Workington. And this was signed before he left for Australia.

Normally I'd agree with you, but in recent seasons it seems to be the same clubs with string top ends always near the top & the same strength in depth clubs always near the bottom.

Could argue it'll make the racing better, with the top riders in the league riding against each other rather than with each other?

Personally can't see it making much if any difference, nothing to stop the 'same' clubs signing riders with averages just below 8. Could it be aimed at leverage in an attempt to coax targetted teams into the Premiership.?

Now we know that there will be 2 Leagues in 2026, why doesnt 1 promoter have the Balls to admit there will be 2 leagues and not wait until Nov 12th,at there AGM.

Also ,if all the rumours on this Forum are TRUE, tell us who told you and from what source you know this.

This only having 1 rider above 8 pts,is crap.Why should the likes of GLASGOW,POOLE and REDCAR pander to promoters of other teams who have a crap 1 - 7.

If the points limit is 40,build your team to 40 or close as,if some Promoters cant build a decent team of 1 - 7, thats not 

GLASGOW,POOLE or REDCAR's fault.

Promoters should build teams within the points limit and riders they can afford.

There has been multiple zoom calls by all accounts with the 2 league/ 1 league scenario back on the table. I would imagine not all Premiership teams will be overly keen to compete in a 5 team league .

5 Team league doesn’t sound great.Dont know why just one league with 40 pt limit.

40 point Premiership limit? Or 40 point Championship limit? 

Also bear in mind, only 4 Premiership teams actually had proper heatleaders last year, 3 didn't and it showed in the final table. How are you going to make that work in one big league?

And are there enough riders to make everyone ride to a 40 point Championship limit?

In one league, would GP riders like Jack Holder and Bewley etc sign up to ride against 2 point Championship riders?
