2026 fixtures 😯😯

[Neila]

Klindt testimonial 15th march 1st meeting Ben fund 29th but so far that's the only UK speedway 😮 both leagues fixtures still to be released, fans are wanting to make plans, sponsors want to know what and when they are going to sponsor meetings. Yet they, the so called promoters are NOT promoting the sport to attract fans/sponsors. They they will complain when the crowds are down 😯😡. When are the fixtures due out ??

No idea why the NDL and the Championship havent put their fixtures out...

And the same for the four guaranteed to run Premiership teams...

The Prem can add in any other fixtures later on their Monday's and Thursday's..

Sponsors may want to bring some business associates, so need to plan, and some fans will want to plan holidays around fixtures..

Speedway just can't help itself  - even the threads are doubling up in Premiership and Championship now 

[SteveLyric2]

I am led to believe the draft fixtures are with the Promoters who need to double check rider availability before confirming!

Just how can the NL ( it can no longer be classed as a ‘D’ league, surely ?) arrange fixtures? when most of the clubs hosting them are in the other leagues and so have to wait till those fixtures are sorted !

Is that to see that they have enough clashes with FIM meetings, and domestic individual meetings like the U21 Championship, to smash out of the park that 196 guest total from last year?

The main and Micky mouse FIM meetings are the big problem for weekend championship fixtures, take my team worky, both Tate and the new young Dane will be in official GP 2 qualifications and various U19 and U24 meetings, pairs and fours, seemed last year was a FIM or European meeting most weekends in June July and August

Think Scunthorpe may have a similar problem with Luke

Yes other riders and teams will be affected. Think a lot of people/fans don't realise how many of these major and minor FIM meetings affect British speedway, and at a cost to said riders and family to travel

Personally don't think there are any minor Fim events they are all major in each individual age category.

If you have a brilliant season in the Championship your looking at 17 home meetings. 8 League 4 BSN includes Semi& Final, KO Cup 3, Playoffs 2. So Berwick could open May 2nd and have 25 Saturdays to race 17 meetings. It would be 27 but obviously i have taken Glasgow GP Round and British GP into account

Wouldn't that be good to have all those meetings

Probably still struggle to get fixtures in before the start of September deadline day 

[Mr Blobby]

Do they not normally wait till all Polish leagues are out so they can try work around them? I know the bottom league was only recently released so maybe why the wait.

Waiting on Kathy Lloyd to join Cameo and do the video.

Can't agree with you for once.  All FIM meetings are very important, but FIM Europe events are run by and for Polish television, and should be if no interest to UK authorities

There’s FIVE guaranteed Premiership teams, but you already knew that didn’t you Mike?

Just to to jog your memory incase you’ve developed a severe case of amnesia.

Agree totally that there is no interest from the club authorities . But to the riders selected it's huge riding against the best there is only makes you better.
