All signing are subject to approval

If there is a big shake down and it ends as one big league it's quite simple

They are not guaranteed to be approved

New limits etc will be set

Personally I expect it to still be Premiership and Championship in 2026 with the merger taking place in 2027 unless there is a miracle influx of financial support 

I’d love to see that vote count.

Ipswich have a part in all this ,where’s their buyer it’s all a bit of a shambles.Sheffield don’t exactly look rosy.You can’t blame Championship for going ahead with their plans.You seem to be clutching at straws.

I can assure you that I'm not clutching at straws as the words have basically come from Picko's mouth.

Picko's the one who said that he's riding for Sheffield if they come to tapes and British Speedway ends up in One Big League.

Therefore no point in Scunny announcing another rider until Picko is a 100% certainty to line-up at No.1.

I do believe that we will see a Two Tier Structure and everything will work out in the end though.

Connor Mountain confirmed as the third signing 

[Paul Johnson]

I rate Connor, he needs a place in the prem though

Yeah agreed he would benefit from a place in the prem. He always gives a 100 percent and is a good honest rider, it will be interesting to see if he can put any points on his starting average of 6.11 which is 5.96 after the British reduction

No doubt he will be in the top league in 2027 - will certainty be a heat leader in one big league, possibly a number 1

The 9 championship clubs will stick together to protect themselves, as they have some form of business acumen. One big league could work, but it most definitely is not feasible to try and plan in December, it needs to be decided in the summer ready for the following season, and it may well be that this happens next year ready for 2027 like you say. But Ipswich, and Belle Vue, need to realise that it is unsustainable to continue to bring in GP superstars, forcing teams who can’t financially afford to compete to go to the wall and go under for the sake of two or three clubs.

The side needs more fresh blood. Give MPT a wide berth.

So the rumoured team is.......

1. Josh Pickering 11.46

2. Luke Harrison 4.97

3. Abblit 4.91

4.Connor Mountain 5.96

5. M. P. Toft 6.1

6. S. Lambert 4.48

7. Ryan Ingram 2.00

Total 39.88

Pickering's last Championship average was 9.42, Scunny will have a further 2 points to play with on the 1st of May, they will need to make a ruthless change early if they are going to be competitive.

Thought Lambert was off elsewhere
