Trouble is, Foxhall is a long way from most tracks, and Championship circuits are a major trek: Oxford 144 miles* Scunthorpe 189 miles Poole 205 miles Redcar 265 miles Plymouth 310 miles Workington 340 miles Berwick 357 miles Glasgow 417 miles Edinburgh 425 miles * even Oxford is a bugger of a journey from east Suffolk - I know, because I've driven it many times (when Son #2 was at Uni).

What about Northampton?

Yet again, you reply without quoting ... -
John Louis once told me that he gave up putting on second half "junior" races, because he was fed up with making phone calls, and the first questions was: "How much do you pay?" ... JL was 28 when he started riding speedway, and spent his first efforts just turning up and asking if he could get a ride, and still riding for nothing when he was asked back.

The current machinery requires the finest tuning, and very regular upkeep to keep it functioning at its peak level. There needs to be a reset of the engines, allowed components, etc. British league racing has to become more affordable for everyone, and the riders have as big a part to play as anyone else. In that way, reaching the GP could be akin to Formula One, with riders progressing through the levels.

... for team building purposes only.

I think they meant guaranteed Top 5 finish (assuming 5 are guaranteed to take part). King's Lynn fans have been delighted to be guaranteed Top 6/7 finishers for the last few seasons, because that's consistently higher than when there were more teams in the BL, Elite, Prem, etc. 😊

And the “unsinkable” Premiership decided they didn’t need their own …

You can't really have a behind closed doors signing-on night - they need members of the public to volunteer so, in theory, anyone could have gone if they wanted to. i'm completely fed up. There's more to life than wondering even if there will still be speedway, let alone who will be riding. No attempt at a publicity splash or big reveals will make the slightest bit of difference now.

Will there be an announcement today, Tuesday? It would clash with the much-heralded and long-awaited release of the 2026 Championship fixture list ...

Not so much a view as a sound, i.e. of the veritable bottom of a barrel being scraped …

Badenoch would blame Starmer, without providing a solution. Davey would demand a Public Enquiry. Polanski wouldn't be asked. Farage would blame the Turks.

Or they could be sponsored by Linda Lusardi: Northampton Knockers
