Steve Irving gonna have us down as favourite's. 

You may jest, but if it wasn’t for his capital then the whole top flight would collapse..

Fingers crossed some sort of deal is done for Belle Vue to get the vacant GP event. 
 

The NSS produces the best racing of any GP bar NONE. 
 

But, the finances have to align for all parties.

take it you dont read the forum 🤣

Yes I do read the forum, However, as written your comment implies that BV will be weak so it will be a hollow victory if any team other than the Aces win the league.

Nilsson would be a 7.50 wouldn't he?

[TTT]

Ideally if Nilsson is a Witch then we need him to be on a 6.00

I say that because only once did Kim achieve a 7+ GSA when riding over here for a number of years as a Lakeside Hammer and that must have been at least 9 or 10 Years ago.

If Kim is a 6.00 then this is a very strong side with no weak link.

 

1. J. Doyle 8.62

2. A. Ellis 5.98

3. D. King 7.17

4. T. Brennan 5.76

5. K. Nilsson 6.00

6. W. Cairns 3.00

7. Rising Star

= 36.53

Nilsson would be 6.00 or 6.50 depending which way the wind blows on the day of the declaration.

If Belle Vue are in the process of being taken over and start putting some kind of team together at the arse end of February next year, then anyone else winning it will of course can claim a hollow victory. 
 

I’m confused why anyone from Manchester or even Norfolk @therefused, can legitimately claim otherise? 
 

Staggering really.

maybe you are struggling how to read this forum correctly but as mentioned, by the looks of it the rumoured names for all teams are the same names as this season, how does that make next season look remotely better?

I was against Nilsson originally as I thought he would be on a 7.50 due to him being a GP rider (Full Point worth of Inflation)

However I'm comfortable with Kim on a 6.00-6.50 as that's a very fair assessed average imo considering he was always pushing the 6.5 mark as a Hammers rider.

Imo when it comes to PREM Clubs, We have 3 Tiers.

Tier 1 -> Belle Vue, Ipswich and Sheffield

Tier 2 -> Leicester

Tier 3 -> King's Lynn and any other Club that runs in the PREM.

Last season was dire for the PREM because Ipswich became Tier 3 for a year before the season started leaving Belle Vue and Sheffield in a very predictable two horse race for the title.

After a couple of months worth of the predictable 2 Horse race it eventually became a coronation ceremony for Belle Vue once Jack Holder got a season ending injury.

It was all too predictable and boring to a point where Belle Vue didn't even need an adequate guest to beat Sheffield around Owlerton because that's how big the gap in quality was.

Ipswich’s first signing was announced 07/01/26.

Belle Vue, Kings Lynn, Leicester & Sheffield all built teams in the same timeframe as in any other closed season, so why is beating them hollow?

[gjcone44]

looking forward to next season , with all teams being equal . providing no one loses their no. 1 with injury.

only to recoup the lost money from speedway of nations, we have done that now, we would prefer 2 of course though

Speedway of nations is pretty much the poisoned chalice any where outside Poland.

You would think they would suss nobody is interested in it Phil and just run the world team cup every other year which does pull the punters in.

[TTT]

Drew Kemp isn't in Leicester's plans for 2027.

Witches tail has Kemp, Cairns and a Rising Star written all over it tbh and I'd be very happy with that tbh.

Not convinced myself. 
 

Bewley, Doyle and King ain’t fitting in a 37 point top 6.
