If you can call it watered down then that is due to Ipswich's Emil and Jason ditching the UK again. The repetitive part of the season only kicks in for the last four home meetings as that’s when teams visit for a third time. Whilst it’s not ideal we can only hope things are being set in motion for 2027. The reset to one big league would have been a disaster and will have hurried along the demise of the sport in the UK being an NDL+ standard.

Rumours are 3 home 3 away meetings in the league, then the play offs. So imo very repetitive when only 4 teams will visit your home track. I know of several people at various premiership tracks, that won't be going to see all home meetings due to them visiting a minimum of 3 times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But several clubs are rumoured to lose lots of money, so paying the fine means you have no hassle running a speedway team in the present climate, and saving time and effort to get riders, replace riders, organise rescheduled fixtures etc etc. If this is correct no wonder both Sheffield and Ipswich are struggling to find a buyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this year being very much make do and mend, it’s the best they could hope for imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
