TheTopDrawer Posted December 21, 2025 Report Share Posted December 21, 2025 (edited) 4 hours ago, Neila said: But worky in a league of nine teams, if they raced the teams twice, would mean 10 weeks apart, but in premiership the team comes around again in 5 weeks then again in another 5 weeks time, too often imo That makes absolutely no sense. Meeting opposing teams twice in a league which runs roughly April to September means meeting twice in 6 months regardless of whether it's a 9 team league or a 6 team league. What you're suggesting is that the CL season lasts 16 weeks and the PL season lasts 10 weeks, which is nonsense.

RoundTheBoards Posted December 22, 2025 Report Share Posted December 22, 2025 2 hours ago, noaksey said: So there can't be a 6th team then as they've missed the declaration? There are several stages to the AGM. For the first part, only the clubs who took part in the current season are involved. They go over the finances of the current season, iron out if anyone owes money to any other club, and declare if they want to run the following year. Presumably everyone except Birmingham has declared an intention to run. Then for the second part of the AGM (delayed to Jan 6th) they consider any new applications to join the league for next year, and anyone accepted is invited to join in the remaining meetings where they make plans for next year.

Maybe 2 certain team threw their toys outta the pram because they wanted a Premier league! not including Sheffield in that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he hasn't ridden in Britain since 2020, that's when he joined a team from the Republic of Mancunia ! who, being in a speedway outpost are allowed under International law to affiliate themselves with the ACU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn the difference... I was told on Sunday that Doyle will be Ipswich no1 ? And it was from someone who does know Doyle which would means he has to go back on his own statement so who knows but like you I’m just can’t get excited about the premier league, I just feel they are making a big mistake for the sport with 5 teams, as I said on the podcast on Sunday I know they are trying for another team and I know others are trying with other clubs too but as it is right now it’s going to be 5 Edited December 26, 2025 by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted December 31, 2025 Report Share Posted December 31, 2025 Bewley signed , thats good to see one English top rider in the UK speedway leagues. Got to be doubt over the affordability of Kurtz (even if he can be assed to race in the UK ) with the lack of money aound in PL 2026. unless BV have a big money sponsor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted December 31, 2025 Report Share Posted December 31, 2025 Belle Vue definitely kept the best team rider in Bewley over Kurtz Kurtz may well be chasing individual glory again and like last season let his club side down which is understandable If I was a Belle Vue fan I wouldn’t want a number one who at the business end of the season doesn’t try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
