TTT

Two Leagues basically confirmed after Scott Nicholls' announcement about signing for Plymouth in 2026.

Are you West Ham, Are you West Ham, Are you West Ham in disguise.

Silly season rumour imo. J. Holder will be at Sheffield if he's not leaving the country entirely, Said himself on Polish TV that he wants to live in the UK so he has to ride in the Premiership. The only way Fricke ends up at Belle Vue is if Kurtz and Bewley are both leaving imo which is unthinkable (One Rider Over 8.00 Rumoured Rule) Newcomer to the Premiership throws a spanner in the works though......But we haven't had any signals pointing to that happening as of yet.

1. M. Fricke 2. K. Howarth 3. L. Becker 4. R. Lawson 5. S. Masters 6. P. Castagna 7. (RS) = 40.00 or 1. M. Fricke 2. K. Howarth 3. L. Becker or R. Lawson 4. N. Morris (D/UP with Berwick?) 5. S. Masters 6. J. Jeppesen (D/UP with Berwick?) 7. (RS) = 39.28 / 39.22

The Team picks itself if it's a 40.00 Limit. 1. J. Holder 9.08 2. A. Rowe 5.22 3. C. Holder 6.84 4. R. Tungate 5.89 or N. Morris 5.89 5. J. Pickering 7.76 6. L. Flint 5.05 (25% Discount) 7. L. Harrison (RS) = 39.84

So would I tbh, I just can't see Danny being let go though. Got to be a 40.00 Limit I would imagine otherwise a lot of riders on 6+ GSA's will be out of a Premiership place entirely.

Personally I don't believe the 36 Points Limit rumour simply because of the amount of riders who finished on 6+ GSA's in 2025. As always, I just go with the flow in the off season and build teams within a points limit just to show an example of how strong a team / teams could look like within the rumoured rules. My personal guess is a 40.00 limit and I still wouldn't be surprised to see one team join the Premiership (Glasgow or Scunthorpe)

I was just putting a 36.00 Limit Team together for the sake of it and couldn't fit Picko in. Assuming the 36.00 Limit is just a silly season rumour then Sheffield's 1 & 5 pick themselves imo (Jack & Picko)

Glad to hear that it's just a silly rumour regarding the 36.00 Limit. Imo everyone from this years side has earned the right to return next season, 2026 Should feature at least 5 of this years side imo.

1. J. Holder 9.08 2. L. Flint 5.05 3. T. Musielak 6.63 4. A. Rowe 5.22 5. C. Holder 6.84 6. J. Etheridge 3.00 7. L. Harrison (RS) = 35.82

36.00 Limit, Any takers? 1. J. Doyle 7.86 2. D. Thompson 5.87 3. D. King 6.50 4. A. Ellis 5.92 5. T. Musielak 6.63 6. J. Edwards 3.00 (25% Discount) 7. C. Rushen (RS) = 35.78

Brennan would have to find another club if it's a 36.00 limit imo, The only way to fit both Tom and Doyley in would be to rip up the title winning side entirely and I can't see that happening.

Team Building Limit 36.00 and One Rider Over 8.00 1. B. Kurtz 8.97 2. N. Blodorn 4.87 3. B. Cook 6.39 4. Z. Cook 6.20 5. M. Zagar 6.46 6. T. Zischke 3.00 7. W. Cairns (RS) = 35.89

A 36.00 Team Building Limit would put a stop to that as well imo. Kurtz, Bewley & Zischke would only leave 15.39 for an entire engine room.

Surely not 5 Premiership Teams and a 36.00 Team Building Limit? Over 30 Riders finished with a GSA Over 6.00 in 2025.

My First Draft for 2026. 1. D. Bewley 8.64 2. R. Tungate 5.89 3. B. Cook 6.39 4. Z. Cook 6.20 5. J. Lidsey 7.87 6. N. Blodorn 4.87 7. W. Cairns (RS) = 39.86

50/50 as to where Tobi will go imo, Keynan Rew fits at No.4 if Tobi was to head back to Sheffield.

My First Draft for 2026. 1. R. Douglas 8.12 2. N. Klindt 6.46 3. N-K. Iversen 6.71 4. C. Harris 6.53 5. J. Kvech 6.91 6. A. Bednar 5.00 7. L. Harrison (RS) = 39.73

My First Draft for 2026. T. Musielak for E. Sayfutdinov (Work Visa) 1. J. Doyle 7.86 2. A. Ellis 5.92 3. D. King 6.50 4. T. Musielak 6.63 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. D. Thompson 5.87 7. J. Edwards (RS) = 39.83

Glasgow have signed riders like Nagel and Tarasenko in the Championship. Poole and Glasgow basically line-up with a minimum of 4 Heat Leaders every year in the Championship and they'd both line-up with 5 Heat Leaders if Team Building rules allowed them too. Look at the core of the 2024 Poole side for example that consisted of Lawson, Brennan, B. Cook and Z. Cook, It's basically a Premiership side if you add in a Premiership No.1 followed by a reserve and a Rising Star. Constantly allowing these two clubs to compete in the lower league and push clubs like Plymouth around every year while the Premiership is under threat is baffling to me.

Rumoured One Rider Over 8.00 Rule. 6 Riders finished the 2025 Season with a GSA Over 8.00 (Fricke, J. Holder, Kurtz, Bewley, Sayfutdinov & Douglas) Emil Sayfutdinov's work visa has expired and he may not return to British Speedway in 2026 so I guess this is the proposal on the table at the AGM? BELLE VUE -> Kurtz IPSWICH -> Bewley KING'S LYNN -> Douglas LEICESTER -> Fricke SHEFFIELD -> J. Holder

I would put good money on Ryan Douglas being announced as the Stars No.1 in 2026 if the rumoured One Rider Over 8.00 rule becomes a fact. Emil Sayfutdinov's work visa has expired and if he does leave British Speedway and Belle Vue have to drop one of Brady Kurtz or Dan Bewley then we're looking at this imo. BELLE VUE -> Kurtz IPSWICH -> Bewley KING'S LYNN -> Douglas LEICESTER -> Fricke SHEFFIELD -> J. Holder

No, I don't get the SS Magazine.

Who do you want to see line-up for the Tigers in 2026?

Who do you want to see line-up for the Lions in 2026?
