Visa issues prevented that. Ivor Bollockoff just missed out as he was proving to be rather cocky.
Cess pit also failed a place cuz he kicked up a stink

Promotion taking over is.

FAST & FURIOUS.

There will be a slightly later start to the season as the last promotion has left the new promotion with health and safety issues.

Somebody who hasn't had a mention is Matej Zagar 6.46

If it's a strength in depth 1-7 then what's everyone's view on Matej?

 

He’s ok if you’ve got a spare £3k guarantee for him for every meeting, he might even do the odd ht15!

This is why I’ve been saying for months that if you’re going to persist with a top league, then it doesn’t suit a league with the amount of clubs that people are asking for because there just aren’t enough riders of sufficient quality to make them all competitive. The riders name dropped on the 360 podcast for Northampton sound like an absolute car crash of a team.

Even with the likes of Doyle, Emil, Becker and Rew in the league last year and more options than this year, there was still only five teams putting together a competitive team in a seven team league.

The two at the bottom were there just to make up the numbers and were with all due respect, cannon fodder.

How is that going to be any different in 2027 if the aim is to have a top league of seven, or eight teams? Where are those extra clubs heat leaders going to come from?

Absolutely correct. Those in charge are deluded and while one league could work using a broader scale of riders (excluding GP riders and those plying the trade in Poland etc..) the sport in the UK is beyond redemption.
If UK speedway continues to believe that it has a role to play on the world stage it is kidding no one but itself. Individual riders may make it to the top but the run of the mill league speedway rider in the UK may produce the odd one or two who can crack the mould and reach the top but most are average but still very capable of entertaining the punters who will then feel that they are getting value for money from an entertainment perspective.
2027 needs planning now but whether those in charge acknowledge this is another issue. Statements to date from the BSPL leave the door open but who can trust them as custodians of the sport?

How about 'Northants Ants'
