It is run for the advertising revenue, pure and simple -- and that isn't buttons. Same, as it happens for the updates site. Great and useful to speedway fans, but not provided as public services. Just for revenue.

Let's try another way. See if mods actually look at this thread: Bum titty bum

Or Greg!

Or Greg!

This morning's briefing makes clear the club are aiming to finalise the squad with a new face. No rush, either. Where should they be looking?

If the two riders are of equal scoring ability, their cost to the club about the same -- and the rules insist only one can be retained, PK is a greater pits influence, and works very well with fans, etc, off-track. This is not to denigrate JJ in any way, but if given the forced choice, l believe PK is the right choice

He was Niklas Holm Jacobsen. Sometimes just called Niklas Holm. 18. Pal of JJ. No idea if he would be a 4 or 5

Not pinned yet? Mods going to give us an Xmas present?

While not wanting to get anyone's hope even slightly airborne, it would be to established stadia, where planning permission is presumably still in place, that the Premiership should be looking to add to their numbers. Brough Park, while requiring serious funding to reinstall track and fence, etc, would -- if promoted jointly by the BSPL themselves (as was West Ham in 1964, which was a huge financial success despite the team finishing bottom of the last-ever -- old -- National League) might just work, not least by raising the numbers in the current Premiership. To those who say that the stadium owners wouldn't want it -- everyone has their price........ Recalling West Ham, which paid off handsomely when it was refloated after a nine-year break and later on the recent Oxford revival -- and the huge crowds that came back to Glasgow in 1988 after the city had been without speedway for 16 years, it might not be the worst idea. In a major city. After a five year gap. Just saying.......

As soon as he rides a league match in Europe, he'll be a 5.00

Makes a very strong top five at home. Promotion will be pleased you approve.

Lasse Fredricksen signed for Berwick. Over week now since Paddy politely asked that this thread be pinned.... If he'd used a slightly risque phrase, l bet the mods would have been all over him .......

Will he be the first Norwegian Bandit?

Maybe the mods are from Rugby?

Certainly better than the Dane he replaced.

No loss what a friend gets!

And Nick Morris at Berwick

Let's run a book on how long it takes for this topic to be pinned.......

The website posting last night made it pretty clear why there had been a drop-off in communications recently and addressing matters such as any end-of-term "do". In this case, silence has been golden. The first two signings must be meeting with approval, yes?

Well, you thought right about Nick, he's signed up! Lets hope you're wrong about Drew tho..........

Only eight home state riders (including female racer Tayla Street) were seeded to this meeting. All the out of state guys (including Bailey, Kennedy and McDiarmid) had to pre-qualify in a one-lap shoot-out prior to the actual Championship. Fraser Bowes may not have survived the cull!

To quote Mark Twain (or maybe Disraeli) there are lies, damned lies and statistics.......

This is good stuff -- the kind of forum discussion that allows opinions to be aired! My opinion is that, as the teams are all starting 2026 at the same strength as 2025 then is is incorrect to suggest they are weaker, they are at the same level as last season. Cancelling out a second 8-pointer means more pointage to build a stronger middle order, or employ better reserves. Overall, the league starts out as per the past season, built to 40.00. Not weaker!

I have to disagree. In April, each club will be (or should be, if they recruited sensibly) at exactly the same strength as it was at Easter this year. Not stronger, not weaker. The same.

But it isn't a weaker league! The points limit is still 40.00, same as we started with last season. It is up to the clubs, the team managers, etc, to construct their side up to this limit. But it won't be weaker.
