Don't think Batch wants to do the European leagues at the moment as he has a very young UK-based family. Maybe Sheffield and doubling down in the Championship - although goodness knows what his converted Championship average would be?

Presumably if the '2 Brits at reserve' proves to be accurate, there needs to be sometime for each team to check fixtures and the availability of the preferred Brits before announcing anything and then having to possibly backtrack if certain riders can't make all the fixtures?

Is it possible to zoom a biscuit? Asking for a friend.......

Nope, nothing about Southampton.

Yes I believe so as the track will not have a 2021 racing licence unless the SCB decide to grant 'special' ones.

What? Batch at Championship level.!!?

I think Plymouth might well be in line to replace Somerset?

Yep, he's announced he's going to sign his Swedish contract which is still on the table!!!

Well Doyley won't be going anywhere else other than back to Sweden.

So Doyley has decided to switch back to Sweden for 2021 so won't be riding for anyone else in the Premiership.

Every week so far but not til tomorrow this week...

Danny Ford has announced publicly today that Pirates still intend to run in the 2021 Championship - whatever the agreed format at tomorrow's AGM.

So Mark Lemon saying today that BV will have to make at least 2 changes if the team set-up is still 1-7. Lidsey and Kildemand need replacing.

I don't recall any official statements suggesting a season start in March. Easter was the target date in April this year but now the BSPL view is not til May at the earliest.

Well at least Danny Ford has announced today that it is still Poole's intention to be part of the 'Championship mix' whatever the format is!!

Is that strictly accurate?? I thought they intend to also show some Championship meetings

They.ve been doing Zoom meetings every week for a few months now.

Just hopeful that the season could start in May!

Co-Promoters Rosco and Kilby have both stated that Robins will definitely be back in 2022.

More TV money for each of the six teams!!!!

Why are Poole looking to follow suit? There may yet be an attempt to entice them back into the Premiership?? Who knows

Assuming we get some speedway with some crowds at some point, does Swindon's decision mean that Poole can use Adam Ellis after all?!

Very specific reasons at Swindon though!!

Well they are at the moment.............!!!!

Why on earth would the sport seek to exclude any club that has the finances in place to compete at their chosen level for a full season of fixtures whether we start in May or not? I really don't get all the continued sniping about past BSPA decisions. The BSPL now have some of the 'younger' promoters on board so hopefully some fresh ideas and proposals for the wider good of the sport. Why won't the likes of Messrs Bates, Louis, M's Hancock etc do better than previous attempts? Promoters continue to be blamed for 'self-interest' but isn't that exactly what the missing top riders are doing? No blame directed at either group from me,
