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

Fricke 9, Becker 6, Douglas 6, Howarth 5, Masters 8, Kemp 5, Thompson 0 Witches 51 - 39 on the night

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

Ipswich or Belle Vue or both should apply to join the polish league if Sheffield and Brum go, can't see anyone moving up

Alot of people need to get a life by the sounds of it, not wonder this forum is pretty dead

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

This thread is so premature i feel sorry for your wife

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

46-44 witches trying to keep averages low for 2026

MJJ needs a few meetings over here before he's judged imo

First of all best wishes to tai Feel in terms of a replacement then it would be a double change Worrall with Kerr/Allen might be worth a shout

While Harris is at reserve Lynn are going to be strong, so 52-38 home win

Think Ipswich win both meetings, 48-42 away 58-32 at home

Speedway will be OK once Eurosport disappears because the decision has been made by WDS who operate the promotional rights to the GPs British Speedway is more of a Monday night filler so will be fine, not many major sports that could take its place run on Mondays from 7pm

More people watch the 30 second commercial once than all those who watch speedway as a whole And the average man in the street probably identifies the person endorsing it, would they know Chris Harris?

People writing off Morris like they haven't made mistakes in life, yeah refusing a test or riding under the influence are terrible choices to make, but live and learn and if someone shows improvement in their character let it be Maybe Brum will release Jeppersen too and replace him with Gar....

How long the deal is for is ultimately up to Birmingham Speedway and MJJ, others may want to know but don't have to be told

MJJ rode here years ago and had a good year last so you'd expect he comes back as a muxh improved rider Think Zagar will get a high 6 average almost a 7 MJJ low 7ish

Zagar At Foxhall 12+1 from 5 rides at no.3 11+2 from 6 rides at no.3 5+1 from 4 rides at no.1 At Lynn 12+1 from 6 rides at no.3 At Sheffield 7+1 from 5 rides at no.3 9 from 6 rides at no.3 5+2 from 5 rides at no.3 Some good scores at Foxhall and Lynn not being in the no.1 berth, think he'll get on fine at Leicester & Oxford, knows the NSS If he finds another gear at Sheffield and gets dialled in at home, he'll be a decent no.3 Lidsey, Brennan, Iversen, Douglas, Woffinden and Kildemand/Wright depending what happens at Oxford Would say Zagar at no.3 should be decent, certainly not the worst no.3 in the league by any means MJJ should be coming in on a 7.5 average at be at no.5

Still room for Thorsell on a short term deal then replaced by Nick Morris?

Think he'll come in on a reassessed 7.5 similar to the guys signed last season Be interesting to see who the final rider is, could be in the mix for top 6

Noted, Mr Forum Officer Sir 🫡

Shall i post it on the Poole thread in the Premiership section?
