The promoters already know what is 90% in place for next season, when you say "we know the rules" as in fans, then "we" will be the last to know and understand what is going on

I agree with more GP's in the future and more potential fly-away events then riders may just focus on SGP and the Polish league Some riders like to keep busy, I think we just need to focus ourselves on our own version of SGP4 SGP3 SGP2 SGP with a limited league offering

8 of the 7 rounds

The BSPL are delighted to announce that for 2022 British Speedway will launch three exciting new championships, the first being the expansion of the British Speedway Individual Championship which will now be rebranded the “British Speedway Grand Prix Championship” and the “British Rising Star Grand Prix Championship” which replaces the current British Youth finals. The British Grand Prix Championship will consist of 16 permanent riders for 2022 and will run over 7 Championship rounds similar to the current Speedway World Grand Prix Championship, the top 12 riders in the series will automatically qualify for the 2023 series. They will be joined by the winner of the British Rising Star Championship who will gain a full-time berth into the showpiece series of British Speedway, plus the top 3 riders from the all-new British Grand Prix Challenge, which will be contested over 2 separate Semi-Finals where the top 8 from each will qualify for a one-off final to secure places for the 2023 British Speedway Grand Prix Championships. The British Grand Prix Championship will be supported by headline Sponsor Medequip under their Manage@Home Online Retail Store brand, who are a leading supplier of support living products to the UK market. Each championship round will see the podium riders walking away with a prize fund of £3k, £2k & £1k respectively with appearance money for the rest of the field, the overall Grand Prix championship top 3 finishers will share a prize fund of £50,000 plus a brand new Van for the champion curtsey of series partner Vanarama, other associate sponsors include long term speedway supporters Adrian Flux, Tru7 Group, Anlas & WD40 The all-NEW British Rising Star Grand Prix Championships will replace the British U21 & U19 championships and will feature riders listed on the current BSPL Rising Star entry lists, the championship will start with 3 Challenge Finals consisting of 12 riders with the top 4 riders from each meeting qualifying for the 12-rider British Rising Star Grand Prix Championships which will act as the support series at all the British Speedway Grand Prix Championship events, giving spectators the opportunity for more action per round and watching some of the rising talents in the country alongside their more well-known stars. The overall top 3 finishes after 7 Championship rounds will share a prize fund of £25,000.00, finishing positions across the championship will dictate their rising star status for the 2023 league season. The 12 finalists becoming 3* riders, riders finishing 5th-8th in the Challenge Finals will take 2* status, and riders finishing 9th-12th or not entering or with limited experience of league racing will take on the 1* rating, there will be no 4* rising star riders anymore. Both Series will be screened As-Live on British Eurosport across the season. Rob Godfrey, Chairman of the BSPL commented “These championships would be exciting for British riders and would give them much needed earning potential, especially for those who are not fortunate enough to race in Poland, or are not quite ready for Poland or who are coming into their twilight years of racing, unfortunately, this is just completely made up because here at the BSPL we are beyond coming up with creative ideas that could give British riders riding in Britain reason for taking up the sport or sticking to it because we need to make domestic racing work for home-based riders first and foremost”

I suppose they could keep both meaning Kings Lynn 1. Jacob Thorsell/Robert Lambert 2. Lewis Kerr 3. Thomas Jorgensen 4. Michael Palm-Toft 5. Richard Lawson 6. Connor Mountain 7. Ryan Kinsley

With his brother likely to line up alongside him next season then I think he will be at Sheffield As for Lynn I think Iversen to Peterborough is more or less a done deal as a replacement for Pedersen/Ostegaard Photo from what I've heard are looking to go with Iversen, Harris, Nicholls, Palm-Toft plus one other in the main body with two rising stars to come in I've mentioned Thorsell before who wanted to ride in the UK this year

You sure they weren't Sheffield fans dressed in Poole attire? Looks like Jack & Chris at Sheffield next season

Maybe they can do another round of just giving for the club, in memory of dave Tatum The money raised could go directly to the club in the form of sponsorship and to honour his memory in 2022 the team run under the banner of "Newcastle 'Dave Tatum' Diamonds Just an idea would be a good tribute and a good cause/reason for supporters across speedway to dig deep in memory of Dave

They need to have rising stars under the category of 1-3 stars and their rating is taken into consideration for team building So if a 45 limit and you want 2 x 3* rising stars you only have 39 points left for the main body, same if you went for 2 x 1* riders you'd then have 43 points to build a main body

You're 100% correct however you won't get clubs moving up when they are happy paying Championship money to the same riders. So you entice clubs up by having rising stars at no.6 & no.7 and introduce a pay structure for riders between Champ-Prem money Top flight then consists of Belle Vue, Ipswich, Kings Lynn, Peterborough, Sheffield, Wolves, Poole, & Glasgow The championship is then weakened with 1* rising star riders at no.6 & 7 and team building in place that effectively removes the top 2 from each Championship club, also removes "top 2 championship pay" so the new top 2 riders will be on reduced terms This then consists of Berwick, Edinburgh, Kent, Leicester, Plymouth, Redcar, Scunthorpe & Oxford. League once Home & Away with play-offs (minimum 14 matches, 7 home) League Cup, 2 Groups of 4 split North/South riding home and away once (6 matches 3 at home) KO Cup - 2 legged knockouts The emphasis then must be on individual championship which is beneficial to homegrown riders to compete in and earn money from to make the sport worthwhile taking up and keeping riders active who ride here domestically, let the best riders we produce go to Poland but we need something here for the rest - 12 round British Grand Prix Championship ran on weekends - 6 Round British Rising Star Championship replaces the U19/U21 series ran on weekends These two events are for Eurosport, can be recorded and broadcast "as live" on the Monday TV slot if necessary. SpeedwayGBTV Live Steam service set up charged at a monthly fee of £9.99 and can have some league, cup meetings and other individual races, insights, interviews, classic meetings, documentaries etc.

Having two rising stars at reserve is going to throw up some interesting main body teams

possible, especially if Palm-Toft goes to Lynn

Wolves from rumours are likely to be something like 1. Masters 2. Nicol 3. Batchelor 4. Becker 5. Morris 6. Flint 7. Kemp

1. Iversen 2. Andersen 3. Nicholls 4. Harris 5. Palm Toft 6. Thomas 7. Palin

Iversen to Peterborough

With two rising stars at 6 & 7 next season you'll see a few riders where there is a question mark if they are ready or not, Palin has done a good job this season as an example. 1. Jacob Thorsell 2. Kasper Andersen 3. Thomas Jorgensen 4. Lewis Kerr 5. Richard Lawson 6. Connor Mountain 7. Sam Hagon

A rough guide started at 630 in the morning laying in bed, remember it's a guide so no "he would never go there" etc. But it shows if a dozen riders an be enticed back it can work if not it will just be slightly weaker with riders like Barker, Heeps etc. coming in Belle Vue Bewley, Etheridge, Wright, R. Worral, Tungate. Ipswich Doyle, Allen, Klindt, Hansen, King. Kings Lynn Lawson, Kerr, Palm-Toft, Andersen, Jorgensen. Wolves Masters, Becker, Thorsell, Batchelor, Douglas. Sheffield J. Holder, Howarth, Riss, Pickering, C. Holder. Peterborough Iversen, Nicholls, Harris, Andersen, Bjerre. Poole Ellis, Covatti, S. Worrall, Crump, Kurtz. Glasgow Cook, Ostegaard, Nicol, Musielak, R. Jensen.

Is there a link to any of these, fancy a good read/listen

Apologies I didnt realise Speedway riders don't move from club to club

There are enough riders either currently available or those that may come back to run an 8 side premiership with two rising stars at reserve. Glasgow for example could run a top 5 of Cook, Nicol, Rasmus Jensen, Musielak, Sam Jensen plus 2 x Rising Stars, that team would be competitive Poole could come back up with Ellis, Basso, S. Worrall, Covatti, Kurtz, Hume & Shanes again quite competitive Doyle would be affordable to Witches the offer made to Crump was quite a lucrative one!

Well he only took on Sweden due to Swindon closing, so he was willing to give up Sweden for the UK, whether that is the case now....

And if King is signed Klindt wont be no.1 if signed for 2022 haha unless king gets a reduction My only gripe on the Louis interview is he doesnt know the team building rules, pretty sure most promotions know roughly what's going on but then they wont let fans know til last If Klindt is in hope Mads Hansen King probably a shoe in Maybe an Ellis/Allen combo could fit depending on the regs, or Crump with Covatti? 1. Ellis 2. Allen 3. Klindt 4. Hansen 5. King Or 1. King 2. Covatti 3. Crump 4. Hansen 5. Klindt Probably end up with 1. Doyle 2. Heeps 3. Crump 4. Allen 5. King Obviously pure speculations coz we dont know

Possibly but cant really see two clubs coming up to make 8, plymouth were rumoured to be wanting to move up tho

Well you have Plymouth and Lynn who have already announced Lawson so one would assume that the PL and CL will go ahead in some way, will the NL survive? If not the CL will be weaker so are Plymouth wasting alot of points on Lawson The promoters know what's going on, not sure why we have to wait til November/December to be told, should just be one plan drawn up and kept to for 5 years Oxford look like they'll be in the CL I think the PL is looking like a 6 team league again, why would anyone else move up

1. King 2. Covatti/Starke/Heeps/Allen 3. Klindt 4. Hansen 5. Ellis 6. Rowe R/S 7. Kemp R/S
