Looks like the return could be on for Garrity. He has Gary Havelock and Sean Wilson backing him and hearing on Workington radar

He has signed a warsaw contract which in reality is not a guarantee of a spot just allows a rider to practice and hopefully get picked to race this involves no payment at all unless racing

No help was given to Mildenhall who moved heaven and earth to make their fence safe. They covered all of the metal posts with very high density foam AND have an air fence in front of that, yet it was deemed not acceptable because they didn't get the foam from the one and only recommended supplier. They ran two highly successful meetings under the NORA banner last year with no problems and had big crowds. I appreciate that rider safety is the number one priority, but when I stand at Kings Lynn where just behind the wooden fence that isn't protected by the air fence, I see a huge concrete armco barrier, I wonder how that can be safe yet Mildenhall's fence is regarded as unsafe?

Yeah, both, but to keep costs to a minimum it'd make more financial sense to run on the same night... especially as 3 teams have pulled out of the NDL.

The sport is enough to drive you mental at times, but kept at it - Luke is too good to quit!

I think all the major leagues have now been published except the Polish National League [tier 3] which includes the likes of Wright. Flint, Castagna, Riss, Masters, Ellis, Kemp, Lawson, Klindt and Howarth.

He used to come on here and provide updates but seems to have knocked it on the head.

Does anyone know what effort or incentives were offered to Mildenhall, Kent and Isle of Wight to rejoin mainstream speedway?

Why not both? The teams no participating in the NDL should be forced to host 3-5 2nd half races really.

Would that be a fact or wishful thinking ?

A frank and informative response. And what do riders like Ashton Vale, Charlie Southwick and Sonny Springer do next season? 10 NDL matches plus the British under 19 and that's it?

I read the press release as that they would be in charge of the premiership in 26 because the powers that be haven't found a commercial partner. I know there's a lot of positive feedback about BSN but personally I think it's still a bit ropey to me. I watched the free stream from Ipswich and one of the races was viewed entirely from the start line cam so you could only see the riders for about 3 seconds per lap 😂

I'd do away with it personally and make every team run a junior team as a 2nd half on the same night as the seniors.

No not at all but if a rider on a 10 point average is losing money riding and a days wage on top of it then it becomes massively unviable can you imagine the losses a 3 pointer is incurring

Only 6 teams confirmed is a travesty, but the bigger issue is only 1 home / 1 away per team, a total of 10 meetings per team. This is absolutely nowhere near enough meetings for the youngsters to develop. Why not 2 home and 2 away?! I know this was a very long time ago but in my short stint in the mavericks we rode 24 meetings in one season.

Anybody have an inkling whether this will be an early “weekend” event like last year, or have they split them up and moved to later in the year. I know the fixtures aren’t out yet but someone normally knows. Thanks.

Morris has been heavily involved in trying to get Northampton off the ground for many months I believe. Hopefully it comes to fruition.

Has Luke got anything in the pipeline on the continent for 2026 at all?

Are you referring to Shane Parker?

Looks like the BSPL have given up on Speedway! Just when the sport is in its greatest need ever for home grown talent the chimps in charge decide to cut one of the competitions altogether and Belle Vue, Plymouth & Scuntfield elect not to run with one of those being run by the Chairman of the BSPL... You just couldn't make this 5h1t up!

In addition to the knock-on delay this is causing BSN with their season passes, doesn’t this delay increase the risk of logistical challenges with rider availability? I know Poland have released their fixtures, but have Sweden, Denmark, etc.? Disappointed I started this topic in December. Naive, blind optimism.

Credit to BSN for wanting to keep their customers informed. If the BSPL had any credibility, I’d say the lack of transparency and information was disappointing, but they’re not, so it isn’t.

Was looking to get my first speedway fix of the season for Klindt's testimonial as the line up is looking decent. Just seen it's on mothers day so won't be making the trip into dodgy Norfolk

RIP George, such a nice guy and a true gentleman of speedway and always greeted you with a smile.

A long stay sponsor has confirmed they're sponsoring again this season and been told all the plans etc but just can't release that info until they have made it public once the sale fully goes through. Even though it's painful and seems so long to hear any news some will be coming soon
