Not for a while I can’t see that sort of thing happening…

But *when* UK top flight Speedway finally dies, I can absolutely see Belle Vue riding in the Ekstraliga.

Our Premiership barely holds up against 2.Ekstraliga let alone the top league. Perhaps they could join the same league as Landshut and Daugavpils and it can almost become a sort of European league

That’s simply because of the restrictive points limit due to the majority of clubs not being able to afford anything else. 
 

Remove these restrictions and there’s a couple of clubs that could probably afford to compete in the Ekstraliga. 
 

Maybe. 
 

All hypothetical as I can’t see that happening in a million years.

After last night's season ending defeat it would be a smart move for the management to have a chat with certain Witches riders about average fixing.

No point in the Club even attempting to qualify for the play-offs and it's now time to have full focus on 2027.

King needs to start average fixing by having some EF's and R's otherwise he'll find himself at Northampton next year if what I'm hearing is true about Mayfield going for a proper 1 & 5 which would both be on 8+ GSA's.

Paul Hurry needs to give all Heat 15's to riders who aren't in the Clubs plans for 2027 instead of King.

Not going to happen, it's their living so they need to score points to pay the bills. All this talk of average fixing is poppycock.
