Will there be an announcement today, Tuesday?  It would clash with the much-heralded and long-awaited release of the 2026 Championship fixture list ...

Bad news is always buried behind good news 😛 pick which one is bad news

The pessimist in me is thinking it’s Ipswich with the bad news. The wording “there will be some sort of update on Tuesday” doesn’t fill me with confidence that they will be announcing either a completed sale, or any rider signings today. Just another non update of “sorts”.

I could be completely and utterly wrong of course. Let’s hope I am.

Which is why the fixation from the BSP in bringing back the likes of Coventry, Peterborough, Swindon and Wolves, leaves me perplexed...

Who would these teams get to ride for them?   

One of the main augments against one league was the lack of riders of a certain level...

What level would be needed to find another 28 team spots? 

Maybe instead of guesting it became official that one rider represented two teams in the same league?..:D:rolleyes:

 

... if you build it, they will come. 

They used to think that about the crowds, now they think that about the riders!

Perhaps....

Teams capable of attracting backers and be involved in rebuilding the sport to a level above semi professional in a field

Proper clubs with the ability to attract more than 400 spectators and therefore able to entice a different level of rider

No I believe he is now the manager of the French wonder kid Lotti Sèmen

Nicknamed Spunky. He’s the guy who won the amateur cummers and rapist championship back in the 80s

JOKING ASIDE NOW LETS BE SERIOUS.
 
The light turns green, the dirt starts to fly,
A speedway rider with a gleam in his eye.
He’s got no brakes and a frame made of grit,
Just a heavy steel shoe and a "don't care" bit.
 
 
He slides through the corner at a forty-degree bend,
Praying the fence isn't his newest best friend.
The bike’s screaming loud, the crowd’s in a daze,
While he’s lost in a thick, methanol-scented haze.
He finishes the heat, all covered in muck,
And says to his mechanic, "Well, that was some luck!
I didn't hit anyone, I stayed on the track,
Now help me find where I left my lower back."

That’s marvellous. Shakespeare couldn’t have said it better
