CL even with more common sense pay restraint would be financial suicide for Mildenhall and Kent, at their current venue. Better to find a level where you can be sustainable and be pragmatic.

Not surprised that trolls and bots have no emotional intelligence such as sense of humour. One dimensional AI

Been practising at Sandbanks beach apparently

Alfie Bowtell might be a decent shout. Be a good reserve and can win races at Poole, just needs to be awarded the win points when he actually wins races.

I've no idea. I'm only telling you what I was told.

Clubs they want to keep going I'd suggest.

I was led to believe Berwick were one of the Clubs and Oxford. The reason was their commitment to young riders and the NDL. They'd have lost too much on double headers and in Oxford's case need to run Wednesdays. The other Club wanted fewer meetings to try to reduce losses although they'd still have to pay full rent. So more rent per meeting but likely better crowds over 11 matches than more than 17. It shocked me that the club named was Brummies but having thought about it I can understand the logic of trying to have break even over fewer matches. My source is a Brummie fan/helper usually in the know.

Not for those who like regular speedway it isn't. Might be a godsend though financially to have fortnightly meetings for many fans

Yeah got dates mixed Tuesday night I posted re structural change after the meeting and Monday about Ford jumping the gun possibly b4 the meeting. Correct on both 3 Clubs objected to 2 home and 2 away which result in c change and egg on Mr Ford face. Leaky Dan as he's now known

Flagged up Monday night after the AGM to expect a significant CL structural change and that Mr Ford would look silly by saying Monday was a rubber stamping exercise. Thats factually correct on significant structural change and Mr Ford is it not?

Rumours are 3 Clubs objected as two are mega keen to run NDL and would not have had enough dates to do so profitably. The other Club I'm told was due despite a high rent were happier riding fewer matches paying more rent than too many matches and losing too much by riding too many matches. Whilst taking all info with a pinch of salt I can see the logic in both cases. I totally agree with you about the original plans being made public and MR D FORD should certainly be removed for his silly comments to his local media about a "rubber stamping exercise and all agreed" - which clearly it wasn't It does mean if a CL Club fails to make play offs and progress in cup and shield its just 11 fixtures , if you have NDL as well though you still have a nice season of fixtures.

CL not 2 home and 2 away but 1 home and 1 away is a massive U-TURN! Just 11 guaranteed Fixtures if you don't make PLay Offs and progress in KOC or Micky Mouse Shield.

As rumoured...and expected 1 Home and 1 Away. A U-Turn / C-Change as anticipated by rumours after Mondays Meeting. Can't imagine many Riders will be happy!

Nothing new in the Star re League structures and it seems was written in advance of AGM and doesn't cover the specific PL and CL issues raised on the day that caused delay in announcement. We'll have to wait and see re both if any announcement today. If rumours are correct I think biggest news will concern CL and significant change of plans. PL if rumours are correct isn't about number of Teams or Structures but something more specific that raised a few concerns for all teams. Hopefully we'll all know more later on today although this lot could appoint Liz Truss to head up U-Turns Team and find her inexperienced.

Peterborough are in the Prem. Delay is nothing to do with Speedway Star. PL - Some concerns raised about a specific issue needed to be solved re PL. CL totally different ,and its more change to plans, as will be seen when announcement is made. Word is that all sorted with CL but waiting to announce both tomorrow.

There may be riders queueing up to Guest at every opportunity. However what happened last year with season and near full season Guests needs to be stopped

He's gone to the Press beforehand and basically claimed , it's all sorted, it's just a rubber stamping exercise and there will be no ranting and raving. When you see and read what the final agreed outcome is, and based on the fact that it wasn't sorted, it wasn't rubber stamped, there was at the very least some dummies thrown out of prams and the final outcome is fundamentally different to the anticipated outcome, you'll realise that he'd have been better advised to keep his mouth zipped. I'm talking CL, there are different issues with PL apparently.

Clearly Danny Ford would have been wise to keep his mouth shut and to have waited for i's and t's to be dotted and crossed. Suggestions , are that issues with PL and CL are completely different ,with a few spanners thrown in works of the latter at the very last minute which have been resolved but which mean significantly different to initial plans, and a logistical issue with the former (PL) which needs to be resolved. Hopefully everyone will have a clearer picture tomorrow. Only in Speedway

He's going to look a prize pillock when the news comes out. Should have kept his mouth shut.

Overreacting to end of season play off fiasco. Season will start in June and end in July. PL adamant they can pull top stars. League will be run as a Pairs Competition with a Rising Star reserve. Only in Speedway

Fair comment, novice which he was at the time in terms of professional speedway may have been a better choice of word

Breaking News NO smoke coming out of the Chimney at ACU House. Maybe things haven't gone to plan. Maybe Premier locked in the Cupboard or Championship bickering over the Biskwits

Didn't Workington win it with 6 Riders on averages between 6 and 7 (or thereabouts) who'd all had a spell at No 1 and No 6 and a wobbler in Bickley

I'm convinced Kerr is going to Oxford (having been told he didn't like distance to Glasgow) where he would team back up with Peter Shroeck. He's also a mentor for Boughen apparently so make sense if Boughen signs for Oxford NDL team. Possibly Kerr following an excellent season also has designs on trying to find a Polish slot in Div 2, so riding for a midweek track would be logical.

How about Sam Masters? The out and out number 1 we've craved for. Lives locally, I think it's a toss up between us and Oxford.
