Alternatively the sport as a whole looks at resolutions that would stop clubs losing serious money every season, perhaps this is what Coleman was getting at as in an 8 team premiership with everyone else in a watered down championship with reduced costs Something needs to change regardless

Absolutely, let's hope it's not true or can be avoided but with the closure of the Comets at Derwent previously it seems there isnt enough support for speedway up there

Is the future for Workington (and a few others) in the National League with associated practice and open days?

It'll be interesting to see how the Wroclaw "partnership" with Ipswich goes, maybe other Polish teams will be interested in something similar?

I now have no local track This season I've been to 2 Northampton meetings (3 hour round trip) with a further one planned plus 1 visit to Ipswich (2 and a half hour round trip) That's my lot and will probably remain so each season under this format

3 things can happen Sheffield can either get sponsorship.and investment externally, they can accept that Speedway in 2026 has to be owner funded or they can pack up No doubt they've done their best to arrange the first one and are still trying, the second one is ongoing which leaves.....

A positive if cautious statement but given local elections etc and the speed that local authorities go at thats not surprising Lets hope that when they conclude these investigations the outcome will be positive

Imminently someone told me yesterday (not an official source though)

He was very good last night

Track was rough after the stock cars, several grades in the first few heats, not enough water down. Finally sorted after the interval and some decent races in the later heats Presentation is pretty dull as mentioned elsewhere which is a shame as they have the chance to do something new. The tannoy is also pretty quiet in certain areas. More importantly though they need a couple of changes in the team, presumably Zagar will be back plus 1 other needed. A decent crowd (I'd say approx 1k?) but they really need some home wins or people will get fed up

Probably because the GP series they took over was losing money and required stabilising first to put it back on an even keel

He's seriously out of form though

Can they realistically bring Zagar back but retain Jeppesen?

I think Discovery had some discussions with the London Stadium a few years ago (2022 ish) which i believe were positive although they stuck with Cardiff in the end. The stadium were keen afaik but I know West Ham want to take control of the stadium and if they can strike a deal with the Mayor then it might be more difficult

I think the demise of the speedway GP finances may well be linked to the fall off in Cardiff attendances/sponsorship hence why it was the first to be cut
