This conversation should have started last year for 2026 and even then thats late, whatever is put forward which might even be a good idea its all too late.
2026 has already been decided and we must now all wait for what that will bring.
The issue with the prem has been known for a long while especially regarding Birmingham not so with Oxford so whatever has been agreed between the promoters already i just hope its something refreshing and points in a direction of hope, not just another plaster on an open wound getting bigger
There are enough to make this kind of format work, and as you've responded elsewhere it doesn't mean you lose 48 riders who ride on the continent.
It may mean you might see more guests or sides opting to run on a night which best suits the riders they've signed up
Nobody is going to run on a Sunday with anyone who rides in Poland but some clubs opting for Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays may have some wiggle room if fixtures allow with what the danish and swedish leagues are up to
There are insufficient riders is an easy out, its not, it will allow for more opportunity for homegrown and perhaps riders from the commonwealth
There is a solution where you could run one league incorporating all teams but a race format where heats are split, offering a junior section where they race off against each other for a team point, and a main feature card where heat leaders and 2nd strings race their format for 2 league points.
Simply call it the British League with a regional cup thrown into the mix.
Doyle will be 3 months at best with all the modern recovery facilities available, i think someone like Lindgren could sign a short term deal to cover, I'll throw in Laguta just in case his no.1 fan pipes up.
As for Dan T its gonna be 8 weeks minimum I'd suggest so as suggested a Barker type replacement
RR for Doyle and a guest for Dan the best way forward until proper recovery times are known
Think a few are getting a bit carried away already....
Brum though not capable of winning the meeting will hit above the 30 threshold, 58-32 I'll go for
Ridiculous statements that Lynns season is over if they lose this one, bump in the road maybe, but such a long way to go and as any speedway fan should know injuries or changes in personnel will change things throughout the season
