To be honest we do not know if it looks good or not, we the fans are just mushrooms again (kept in the dark and fed bullsh1t). While I would not want or expect the club to say we are talking to xyz and negotiating with abc but they could put out an announcement of what is happening to a point instead of leaving several hundred fans thinking and worrying about the club and its future.

At the STARRS meeting they said we should have some news before the conference

And in the Speedway Star it has been stated that announcement on the club ownership would be before Christmas.

So they can both be the same thing

Fingers crossed that the news about ownership, whenever it may come, isn’t that there isn’t an owner

.......... and that is now supposed to be in January BUT like everything else in British speedway its not set in stone so it could yet be February, March, April, May or even 2027.

Ok a simple question for the club, If the current situation is not resolved by January (the conference) will the promoters / management team bring the Tigers to the tapes in 2026 but with the club remaining up for sale (and possible be sold during the 2026 season) OR will the current Promoters / management put the club on ice until a buyer (hopefully) will be found? (Assuming there is a premiership League in 2026)

In their "for sale" statement it said the current promotion had run their last top flight meeting

So in that case if they don't sell they don't run in 2026.

Not unless they can run CL and/or NDL

At the time that was announced, there was still 1 NDL match to be raced, but the Tigers season was finished. I think that Steelers match is why it refers to last top flight meeting had been run, rather than hinting at Tigers going CL.

In my interpretation of the 'for sale' announcement it is assumed that a buyer would be found and no mention of what happens if not. Although (at the risk of annoying Ipswich fans again) it would devalue the club if the current promotion publicly stated that they would not run in 2026 if not sold.

Anyway, let's hope that whilst there is nothing public, that something good is coming together both for Sheffield and the Premiership
