THE DEAN MACHINE

I am waiting on something but it’s not the size of my garden 😉

Could be Oxford but not run by Oxford themselves, I know somebody was asked to run a team out of Oxford but declined, so they could of found someone else to do it

So reading the latest Rye house statement we can rule them out of the 2026 runners and races, Eastbourne out too, if there is a 6th team realistically at this point it has to be a current championship team running a premier team too

But only if they know what’s going on and I beginning to have my doubts

I agree, I worry the premier league is going to collapse before we even get to the playoffs

Remind me never to go to a casino with you 😂

I’ll go for Buxton 😂

Only 8 days to go

MD is your Eastbourne man

Said nobody ever in a viable business or who has any sense and the money to back it

There is NO chance of Eastbourne happening,doesn’t matter if we think it’s the best option or it’s scandalous that there is a track not being used it’s not happening end of story, it has been tried on numerous occasions since it closed and this year is no exception,Peterborough being asked is just one of many desperate measures that have been asked and believe me some ideas have been ridiculous, at this point it’s what’s possible not what we would like,

It’s more than money, it’s owned and run by 2 former riders and they still don’t want it, tells you it all really, there is a family dispute in the background and until that’s resolved it’s going nowhere and even if it was just about money who in their right mind is going to pay someone else’s debts off just to start from scratch, that’s financial suicide

I’ve spoke to 2 former promoters recently who have looked at it and have both said the same, it’s too much money with no gaurentee of a fan base

Yes they have, you would assume the £150,000 is the cost of getting the track fit for speedway

Again nothing is going to happen there in the near future

Anyway we have 9 days to wait to find out what shambles is being presented to us to part with our money, I’d like to say I can’t wait but that isn’t the truth

Newcastle doesn’t have a track anymore,Skegness has failed once because of low crowds and isn’t it tarmac now ? Eastbourne is I believe a family feud on top of money owed from last promotion and sittingbourne as in Kent doesn’t have a track anymore,sittingbourne as in iwade does but premier league status, there are a few stock car tracks scattered around but are tarmac, one of the tracks I mentioned is Rye house, we all know the situation there but I have heard snippets from a couple of people,don’t know if that would happen in time for 2026 though

I genuinely think the cost of Northampton is issue there, the money being banded around is £150,000 with no gaurentee of a crowd, that’s a big cost and a gamble for someone with money and no tolley isn’t interested

And this is the reality, at least 2 ongoing possible situations are at the mercy of courts and could be years away, at least another 1 is at the mercy of the council and planning, and there is one other that is trying a new approach but getting blood out of stone comes to mind at the moment, so what’s left is mildenhall Bradford,Northampton, iwade, Isle of Wight, who all have up and running tracks but all have issues to overcome, the last option is a championship team running another premiership team, I think it will be 5 with Ipswich

No he doing FA

They are trying for a 6th team along with others independently of the bspl , if anyone is successful is another matter but people are trying

This is the last one he sent us, as I said before I don’t know what counts as a view and I assume it’s over all platforms, is that good enough for you or do you want me to get mark zuckerberg or Elon musk to contact you personally

I was told on Sunday that Doyle will be Ipswich no1 ? And it was from someone who does know Doyle which would means he has to go back on his own statement so who knows but like you I’m just can’t get excited about the premier league, I just feel they are making a big mistake for the sport with 5 teams, as I said on the podcast on Sunday I know they are trying for another team and I know others are trying with other clubs too but as it is right now it’s going to be 5

No sadly is confined to the history books, the only place that could possibly host speedway is Nottingham greyhound stadium but as far as I aware there no plans to ever reopen long Eaton
