What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
Chris replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Planning permission for an all weather pitch at Rye House was refused years ago. The base it still there but it's overgrown due to the leaseholders not being allowed to touch anything on site due to years of unlawful development -
have you ever been to cycle speedway?
- Yesterday
-
Hook was good this year. if workington can not fit him in thought another team might of signed him
-
Lambert would make a good reserve at berwick. hes scored some good points there
-
Looking back at scores batchalor would be a good signing for plymouth
-
Plenty of development league / trophy riders to choose from, Senna Summers from their NDL side for starters? Wouldn't be as strong as Rushen or Ritchings, but he's probably the next Oxford "junior" in line to step up? Edit: thought we were in the Oxford page for a minute, whoops!
-
He is back at Workington so Ive heard.
-
Shad up. You are boooooooring.
-
It’s harsh to call it an inflated average because he was fantastic at reserve.He had a good season and finished a deserved average.If any Team that has rider starting at reserve and can reach a heatleader average they should be happy.IMO Drew Kemp had his critics at Berwick when he was signed. where are they now.
-
Has Batch signed yet?
-
That’s a great team tbf but Kye will be back. I’d love to see Erik back in blue and gold at some point though.
-
point proven from plymouth thread . speak facts for once .
-
Eventually
-
Unfortunately Jacob Hook isn’t the first rider to get a slightly inflated average from reserve that means clubs see it as a risk to start the rider in the top 5 the next season and will often go with a “proven” top 5 rider instead…it depends how much potential improvement they see in the rider
-
they get rewarded in a pay check
-
‘ Alienating ‘ . rubbish its team building . simples . we werent good last year , individually he was good but its about a team and his avrg obviously doesnt suit or fit the shake up
-
true though unlike some of your posts also try not to snap my fishing rod , its brand new
-
Yes, that’s unfortunately the way speedway works sometimes. Hooky was excellent last year but when you do well in the sport, occasionally it can go against you. The promotion obviously believe there’s more room for improvement with the riders they’ve brought back than there is in Jacob (not entirely sure about that) Tate should definitely improve back to 2024 levels and hopefully last year was a learning curve for Vinnie and he can kick on, he’s never short on effort. Certainly makes things interesting for Workington, should see some new faces. Have to feel big time for Jacob, hopefully he gets a place next year.

You keep on with your wonderful compliments no one cares what you think,sott Nicholls rates it,I had a good chat with him about it,also Toby as he has said on fb enjoys riding it. I value their opinions slightly tha some small minded little troll looking to get a reaction. You have a reaction now,and you're going onto ignore now.🤡
-
although im gutted , hook would of been in main body on his avrg . thats a big risk for me i wouldnt take and unfortunately its just speedway and something we see every year . will of been a hard decission to make no doubt , will see what comes of it
-
hasnt yet anyways imagine every week, its a crap track

So, as things stand, the two 2025 comets that have been signed for 2026 are the ones whose averages reduced throughout the season? Presume this is the management hoping that 2026 will be the year they push on from whatever challenges/issues/injuries they had last year...
