What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
Neila replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
A few years ago apparently everything was agreed, off they trot to Tenerife, only for on the 1st day, a team said they did not agree with what was agreed , throwing the meeting into turmoil, after several hours of new discussion, common sense prevailed and original plan was voted on and passed, but since then several people / teams were not trusted -
No begging bowls left BSPL have got them all trying to get a team / new facility to join the premiership ð
-
Netflix rumored to be buying Warner brothers was on ITV news, wonder if discovery is included in the deal and where would speedway fit in ?
-
Surprised no tiggers fans have mentioned that bomber got presented with a major city trophy off the lord mayor of Glasgow at a fancy party over the weekend? or even last night, video posted on tiggers Facebook

Well good news for you, as well as kerr, you've got Bowes to watch, very up and down for us last season, least said about his 2 performance's at Edinburgh the best, yes he scored well for worky's visit, but when he guested for Glasgow? only scored 2 points. Enjoy, I will look forward to your rants ð
-
Nowt like getting behind your team at an early stage of the closed season ð
-
No doubt you will be on the comets page after 18.00 tonight to see who we sign next ð
-
Why you lot are on every forum page ð well maybe ont premiership ones ð
-
All still officially up in the air, still lots of talking being done, but hoping championship as you were, but it's British speedway and anything could happen ð
-
Inverness a new team to help out the premiership will ride in red and white to try and cause confusion with that other Scottish club ð
-
He was and through the Darcy link, some on here thought he was a shoe in to sign for the pilots (ditto bailey) but Tate (with input from Darcy) decided to go to worky, yes has not come on as much as thought, but a lot of that was due to the bad injury. Susspose pilots have got that other outstanding Aussie Frazer Bowes ð

You can't say nobody to blame but ourselves. Most on here are just fans who pay their money and watch speedway, some may sponsor in some form. The blame stops at the promoters now and in the past, most just looking after their own self interest. No thought for next year / future years. The ones who have a vision are overruled by the establishment IMO Several promoters are now unhappy about the present stalemate, as they can't sell season tickets for the Xmas market,as they don't know how many meetings they could be potentially riding. Also they are missing out on potential, existing or new sponsors because as above they don't know the set up of the league or how many meetings you are going to run, it's anywhere from 8 to 12/14 home league meetings (championship) -
Was told by another northern promoter today, that they can't sell season tickets until they know the league set up, at the moment it's not confirmed how many teams will be in the league

Signing No 3 announced 6 pm on Monday UTC

Well that's him no good at wimbored road then,, can't race on a blue groove ðĪŠ
-
Big ð to the comets promotion and commercial team for having a stall at the worky Xmas lights switch on day
-
Good signing, with wishful thinking thought he maybe worky bound
-
Agree as the league strength is diluted, riders scores / average goes up, so the following season riders appear to be stronger/higher average, but the teams are actually weaker, if you get my drift
-
I'm tired out meant to say guests, been a long day counting me Money ðĪŠ
-
3 laps then pulls up injured R/R for rest of season ð, so can get riders who perform on certain tracks, maybe been somewhere before ? Any comments lewy ð
-
Problem is very few people buy/read local press these days, and the local one to worky is controlled by newsquest a national media outlet, so most things in our local rag is national stories and adverts, very little local news/sport
-
Maybe ask promotion or supporters club if assistance is needed .
-
The local press / TV is virtually non existent these days, it's all badly copied and pasted from other sources, very few old style journalists these days in the north. Carlisle United and various South of Scotland rugby teams get a mention, but not often speedway apart from press day and border TV did do a good coverage on the young kids memorial meeting ð. We have 2 TV outlets, border TV as name suggests covers the border region and sometimes Cumbria. The other Look North based in Newcastle so covers all the north east and Cumbria if anything major happens. Even the 2 local rugby league teams get very little coverage
-
But it's a quiet football week as Bournemouth not in the champions League ðĪĢ Joking aside pilots always seem to get articles in the local rag ð susposed the readers need something to do when listening to Neil diamond on loop ð

So much pressure is put on young riders by a lot of Poole fans on here, with the expectations of Bailey and Rushen. Not 16 yet and talking of Poole must have them, we are gonna win with these kids in our team. Yes both talented young kids but let them progress at their own rate and enjoy the speedway without pressure or expectations. Look what happened to the last great hope Aston Boughen
