What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
TB1 replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yes but the homegrown will only earn enough dough to ride a moped! And punters won't pay 25 notes for the privilege. -

SPOT ON, however it is getting to the point where the turkeys won't have a choice on whether or not they vote for Christmas! -
You make the most important point, everyone is formulating the leagues for next year. Where on earth are they getting the riders from? Doubling up starting killing UK speedway in 2003 when riders were allowed to double up in the ill fated British league Cup. I'm sure a number of ex riders will be well informed and tell us they simply couldn't make a living out of it and had to pack it up.

Spot on sir! As you say Turkey's don't vote for Christmas and that all anyone needs to know. The current structure will bumble on for a few years yet.

My I ask a statistical question, apart from 3 draws at Owlerton I believe in 2005, 1979 and 1971. Have Lynn ever pulled off a win at Sheffield. I'm sure they had but couldn't find it.

Exactly the sport surely in the uk cannot last much longer in its current format. I hate to say it but I wouldn't mind forecasting that Birmingham don't make the end of the season. Of we at Ipswich are very lucky but my god there are some poor sides in this league. Anyway I've said it before and I and others will say it again. Doubling up has killed the sport since 2003 and unfortunately I don't see Anyway back!

With teams dropping like flies all 3 leagues must be close to being untenable.

Belle Vue vs Ipswich play off semi 1st leg
TB1 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It's currently five minutes to midnight and it's absolutely tipping it down here. -
Exactly, we are relying on winning all of our matches and hoping the top 4 lose at home and I'm afraid it ain't going to happen.
-
Agree totally. The play off ship sailed long ago. Unfortunately when we signed Doyle and Sayfuitinov and then got the rest, it's been a bit like buying a top of the range Bentley but then running it on paraffin!
-
Probably one worse though. Anyone remember Nicholls riding for both clubs in each leg of the Peterborough cup final?
-
Scott Nicholls is 45 and certainly didn't look stale with Sheffield at foxhall the other week. Mind you what a sad sight the the once great Hans was trying to get round the track.
-
Lack of riders available usually means lack of dates. British Speedway is a bit like trying to persuade someone they can drive from London to Glasgow on a tenner!
-
Lots of comments and quite frankly speculation. However it was clear the track was far from perfect. However, I suspect with the average changes that changes will be made and will be made where and when certain targets are willing and available. Until then the rest as I say is speculation!

Who is still riding who rode in 2004?
TB1 replied to steve roberts's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I see Americans mentioned in this thread and without starting another, can someone explain why we don't seem to get riders from there anymore? Surely there must be a number of youngsters who are promising?
