To help ensure more TV coverage and new growth plan, cameras will be at Dover to welcome the rubber dinghy's ensuring the TV coverage continues and investment opportunities brought in with the Illegal immigrants pledging their income to speedway futures. This is the farce British Speedway finds itself in!

Great idea, lets help them maintain their strangle hold on the sport as they dictate the continual demise of speedway by stipulating race days/nights and hold the riders to account!!!!!!!!!!!!

A really well thought out plan, but the main element is missing to enable any of this to ever happen................FANS.

With a dwindling and ageing supporter base, what does the Speedway Star offer to entice the younger generation to purchase it? The same goes basically to most speedway teams, what do they offer to entice the next generation of fans?

I will not dispute any of your estimates relating to alleged rider income or expenses, but all relates to the rider being full time I assume? Reality sucks and for any rider to assume a full time income from speedway in Britain in todays present climate has not done their sums on viability. Whether or not their is a Premiership and a Championship, only a potential few will make ends meet, unless they have a generous sponsorship deal. With little interest, the dwindling fan base is a reality and they actually pay the riders. Personally I now only watch NDL and NDT matches and could not care less about over paid, alleged top riders making up the numbers at various Premier teams.

If the Premiership are so concerned about having 6 teams in 2026, then why not contact Isle of Wight or Mildenhall. Surely if the desperation level is so high, then subsidizing either for a season would be worth the long term goal 🤣

Although nothing is settled regarding Premiership participation in 2026, the Championship team declarations are well under way. Have any of the Championship sides decided to declare their participation in either Development Leagues so far?

Where theirs a will theirs a way. Look at what's happening at Buxton. Marvellous volunteers, sacrificing weekends to achieve a desired goal. The return of speedway, superb and well done and success to everyone involved. So it could be done if people really want speedway back in Peterborough. I certainly do and to anyone or group who decide to take this on, GOOD LUCK and hopefully I will be at the relaunch.

Expectation levels by both riders and fans is the root of all the existing problems. Riders are asking ridiculous pay scales, making many of them unemployable even though they are the ones putting life and limbs at risk every time they ride. Fans are more often than not, expected to pay through the nose for sometimes second rate presented meetings and short entertainment value at embarrassingly long drawn out meetings. Forget league structure for a minute and take a long hard look at the factors above. Potentially a rider salary cap and a feasable entry fee at all tracks in each respective league.

Lets face it, presently all the top riders have machinery in each of the main leagues of Europe and travel extensively between them, so no extra cost. 4 or 5 British teams in it instead of a Premiership and an open invitation to Danish, Swedish, German, Latvian, Polish and any other country prepared to enter. Potentially 6 man teams and a fixed Monday and Thursday race night. Other minor details to be squabbled about, but just a thought!

Yesterday at Oxford a 4TT was staged with 3 defunct tracks all hoping that they can resume racing at some stage in the future. Hopefully all will be successful in time. It would be interesting to know what the attendance was, in view of the teams involved?

How`s everyone done this season?

Just switched off this meeting as it is pitiful to watch. No desire or commitment from Redcar riders and a no contest

So Arnieg and ShaonaXtra want British speedway to fall into extra insignificance due to the Polish fans not giving a crap about the Speedway of Nations due to its insignificance! Sorry Poland is supposed to be the leader in promoting Speedway as it is the World leader. If the fans cannot be bothered with International Speedway (As they did not win it) Shame on you. How pathetic are you clowns> If we are winning it is great, but if we are losing we will complain. Pair of idiots who do not care about speedway as they are clowns

So the Polish bubble on attendances finally bursts on what should have been the biggest night of World Speedway! Call it as you want but the combined attendances of the Speedway Of Nations Semi Finals and Final night would not have half filled a magnificent Stadium, WHY? I have posted previously of my thoughts, but additionally I must add now that with all the school holidays and fine weather (Hopefully during them) more meetings need to be scheduled around them. If a rider wants to concentrate on riding abroad then so be it. Many young supporters now identify with the present up and coming riders and prefer the interaction with them. I stand by my original post and hopefully it is taken into consideration at any meeting deciding the format of the future.
