As a matter of interest what would his average be. Dans average at BV is 8.78 and Pickos at Sheffteld is 8.27 as we all know Scuntjorpe all but made it last year. Just thinking out loud

About 13.12 to be precise (or 12.00), try again in another 10 years.

Pickering came in at 11.64 at the start of last season

With someone from Mayfield taking photos, which have now appeared on Ipswich social media 

Interesting move for him which will no doubt work out well.

Not that it concerns us, but still glosses over the fact that the Premiership product is very poor, racing the same teams over and over again and having 4 out of 6 qualify for the playoffs is laughable.

Signing the top stars is unsustainable for all but 1/2 clubs now and until those promoters see this the product at the top level while never improve. I had a BSN season pass in 2026 and barely watched any Premiership meetings.

There’s a big reason Poole and Glasgow choose to compete in this league.

As a lions fan, I miss the championship massively. Despite us winning two KO cups it's not the same.

Geoff most teams would struggle to make 2H 2A viable, would be financial suicide IMO . Would be better to have no big gaps in the fixtures, can't see why they can't do home one week away the other week, 2 home fixtures a month will probably help most fans in these hard financial times at the moment

You can afford to go and watch speedway every night of the week. Loadsamoney!

Given most sides run at a loss guess they are trying to keep the losses managable.

I agree, it's the most sensible option and proved the format works with lots of excitement in 2026.

The top league on the other hand. Well 1/2 promoters in particular continue to kid themselves that paying for top stars and having them face each other 8 times a season is a good product.

Would agree the Championship last season was tight contest with Teams.Most criticism was the fixture planning.The Premiership that was another story.🤫
