TTT

Agree. I'm being very polite by calling it medicore. Yeah got a 0% of working Riders will do a Rory Schlein and retire due to a job outside of the Sport. All of this talk about signing Young Foreign Talent to replace GP/Ekstraliga riders is a load of nonsense. We won't even be able to sign Young Foreign Talent in 2027 (Polish Rule) because they'll ride in their own Country and then they'll fill a squad role at a 3rd Tier Polish Club just like Kyle Howarth and Drew Kemp are going to do in 2026.

5 Team PREM is far from ideal, However it's still better than One Big Medicore League.

Yeah British Speedway is as dead in the water as Arne Slot's career at Liverpool. Klopp will save Liverpool.......Nobody will save British Speedway though.

I was just trying to remain positive to be honest with you. Now I simply don't care, It's done so no point dwelling on it.

Most of them don't even care about the Sport, Let alone the fans.

Up to him I guess. The Club unless someone takes it on which is unlikely as I can't think of a reason as to why anyone would want to buy a British Speedway Club in 2025/26

Should never have come to this.

Not a joke, I can 100% confirm this. Barely anyone wanted to make an effort just like every other year so Chris finally said F this I'm off because enough is enough.

BSPL simply don't want to make things work even if they did get given financial help.

Re-Build is just false hope........The Sport in the UK officially dies when Senior Fans (Respectful Term) can no longer physically attend. Haiti have got just as much chance of winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup as British Speedway has at attracting a New Generation of Fans.

To be fair though, It's impossible to make anything work when there's no togetherness. Far too many operate as individuals at AGM's and it heavily restricts others who acutally want to make it work. It is what it is.

I don't blame Chris for walking away, I would've done the same thing in his position. Chris proved to everyone that you can make it work at PREM level, While others were just hell bent on destorying everything that he's worked hard for when it comes to Ipswich Speedway. Chris is one of the very few who actually cares about the Sport, While the vast majority of others couldn't care less about it. If the BSPL couldn't work as a Team during the most crucial AGM in Years.......Then they never were going to work as a Team at any point in the future.

Don't react, They're delighted with tonight's press release because the head has been cut off the snake.

They want to see it die.

Deflect it all you like. Any fan of a Sports Club whether it's a Speedway Club, Football Club etc. simply doesn't cheer on it's Clubs downfall. As I've said, I was left with no choice because in regards to Ipswich, It was PREM or Nothing at All. So I done what any true fan should do and that's fight for the cause and support the Club right until the very end.

Got no chance of working but the Anti-British Speedway mob have known that all along. It's never been about the PREM in regards to a select few on here and they can deny that all the want. No true Belle Vue fan actively cheers to see it's Clubs downfall.....Because if they do, Then they never was a fan in the first place.

I have to correct you, I wanted to see my Team racing in 2026. I've known the state of play all along hence why I've put up such a fight for it's future. If I didn't put up a fight, Then I wouldn't have the right to call myself a fan.

Same here. I hinted at it earlier on this thread.

I fear the worst now too. British Speedway simply can't get out of the hole this time, Years of failure has finally caught up with them. The sad thing is, I believe that some of them don't even want to get out of it.

I agree, Chris is just hoping that somebody does a Rodney Trotter when buying some broken down lawnmower engines.

Unfortunately not. BSPL are loathing about waiting for the Polish 2027 Rule to finish them off and Chris knows it. BSPL can pin the blame on Poland that way instead of looking in the mirror.

Isn't a rebuild, Just end game. Chris is getting out now, Hoping to make some kind of money before it officially becomes 100% unsellable.

Yeah, British Speedway's finished and I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy a Club to be honest. Not only is it hard work running your own Club.....But it's also hard work when you have to deal with several people at the AGM every winter who simply don't care about what's best for British Speedway.

Anything could still happen in regards to the PREM......But it's as dead as a corpse regardless. Keep an eye out for Mildenhall or Peterborough.

Panthers back with Hawkins as TM?
