Again expect a couple of familiar faces to return to the Tigers Bewley then. Interestingly, Ipswich’ social media team have been second to none over the years. Always leading the way. Since the British speedway announcement yesterday confirming a minimum five team league, Belle Vue, Lynn, Sheffield and Leicester have all retweeted, responded, or done both. Ipswich the only club not to have done either.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my initial thought reading Flagrag’s post too but just looking at the averages, Belle Vue finished on 39.77 (Although not the final GSA’s). So if it’s 37 for top six, they could keep the top two, and replace Lidsey with a five pointer and drop below the limit. PHB maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but Flagrag’ description of a great new number 1 who if he can master the track could push him on in the GP’s, describes Bewley to a T. Can’t think of another GP rider that fits that description better. *please don’t mean Jack Holder 🙏🏻 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Over 8.00 Rule may come into effect in the PREM as well because nobody can afford to be tailed off within 6-8 weeks in a 5 Team League as it'll hit every club financially on the gate.

With our Max rumoured to be leaving Leicester, it’ll only affect one team. The rule will probably be 1 over 7.86. When the NSS opened I expressed my concern about the leagues numbers dropping. I said we can’t ride against ourselves but we pretty much are. Be good to see the number ones spread out. Max, Brady, Dan, Jaimon & Tom. It would be an Ace league.

TTT Posted December 13, 2025 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2025 Think a One Over 8.00 Rule is a certainty. No. of PREM Riders who finished the 2025 Season on a 8.00+ GSA = 7 Emil has announced his departure from British Racing which takes the Number down to 6. BELLE VUE -> B. Kurtz IPSWICH -> D. Bewley KING'S LYNN -> M. Fricke LEICESTER -> R. Douglas SHEFFIELD -> J. Holder or T. Woffinden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
