Witches v Tigers 27th August
Roger Jacobs replied to Badge's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
New date: 07/09/2026 with the other matches already postponed. Date chosen based on the fact that they know no rain is forecast for that Monday. -
There weren't likely to be major changes - the Witches rode only four league fixtures between 24 July and 23 August. If Ipswich decide to dispense with Lawson's services, would they be eligible for a facility? There's something in the Regs about a rider in dispute with their club, but not (as far as I can see) about a club releasing a rider ...

I'm told that Lawson often turns up with dirty equipment (corresponding to when he's been at Poole the night before?). There's an interesting video on the Witches FaceBook page, showing the machinery in the pits last night, and this is a comment from his mechanic: "It's ok it's Richards bike they're like that on a normal day I'm used to it. Good night we even started with bike building."

I think that a lot of riders are on guarantees, with bonuses for exceeding the agreed "standard".

Thompson has declared himself fit to ride. R/R for Norris. https://www.leicesterspeedway.com/News/Details/8028

He wasn't withholding his services: SCB statement.

I don't think there was ever a rule about promoting junior riders - it was more a case of if teams had two similar riders missing there could be a "gentleman's agreement" between the promoters to use juniors. Certainly if, for example, one team had a heat leader missing, but the other had a second string missing, it was highly unlikely that juniors would be used.

Ipswich v. Northampton 6/8

But British Speedway still hasn't worked out how to encourage those watching the Semis and the Final to return for the standard league matches ... -
A short drawn-out season ...

Apparently Kenp was using an engine borrowed from Joe Thompson!? He said on BSN that the track had to be ridden hard and fast, if you held back you were more likely to struggle on the loose surface - which happened to him when he had to take avoiding action when entering the bend hard while chasing. The track was awful.

Lions vs Stars PL R2 16/07/2026 19:30

Spot on. In the Prem, Harris' 2026 GSA from 10 matches is about a tenth higher than his starting GSA - whereas from 12 Championship matches his 2026 GSA is more than a point lower than his starting figure.
