TTT

I've heard that Ipswich will have a GP Rider @ No.1. But as with everything, Things can change because every day is different.

The League will have big hitters so Fricke will have competition still.

As I said, Cool heads were needed because every day is different. British Speedway isn't British Speedway without fans being left frustrated. Merry Christmas everyone.

We've needed that for a few years now.

Who knows what's happening at this point lol. What will be, Will be as the saying goes.

My logic is, The BSPL wouldn't confirm a minimum 5 Team PREM without having 5 PREM Teams 100% confirmed. We know the 5th Team isn't a current CHAMP Team as they're continuing with CHAMP signing announcements. The BSPL can't class Northampton as the 5th Team because you've got to wait until a deal has 100% been done with all the paperwork signed off. (Maybe it will, Maybe it won't) So realistically the mystery 5th Team is either Ipswich or a Current/Previous NDL Team and if it was the latter then the NDL Club would've been confirmed by now imo instead of dragging this out even longer. I've heard that Ipswich are more OUT than IN at this point but every day is different so who knows what will happen on a day to day basis.

Cool heads needed.

League standard must be terrible if King's Lynn are favourites imo.

Good shout.

Doubt Picko would say what he did in the Speedway Star if Sheffield didn't want him back.

Think you've got to put faith in Cookie. Vuolas just can't seem to adapt to the majority of British tracks but Cookie is a proven No.1 in this League, It's just his mindset that's the problem.

All proven scorers around the NSS though. Tried and Tested in a watered down League could be the way to go instead of taking a punt on Newcomers that may struggle.

Would've been a cracking side imo. 1. J. Doyle 7.86 2. A. Ellis 5.92 3. D. King 6.50 4. K. Rew 6.19 5. T. Brennan 7.05 or T. Musielak 6.63 6. J. Jenkins 3.46 7. J. Edwards (RS) = 36.98 or 36.56

I agree, Nobody is really.

1-5 is the exact 1-5 Leicester should be aiming for, Nick Morris is a trump card. Defo get rid of Kemp though because he's let you guys down 2 Years in a row when the going got tough. Jonas Jeppesen or Paco Castagna @ No.6 would be better imo.

I'd be looking at someone with British League experience who can improve as a Rider. Rider like Mitch McDiarmid for example.

Leicester have set an example and every Club needs to follow. Social Media is a big part of today's world and Clubs have to get with the times to work the Social Media game.

To be fair, Tolley's not perfect by any means but at least he's passionate about British Speedway. The same can't be said for certain CHAMP Promoters and Owners.

The only Rider that fits @ No.2 who finished the 2025 PREM Season on a 4+ GSA is Paco Castagna. 4.00 Newcomer is the only other option. 1. M. Fricke 9.89 2. 4.28 Left 3. C. Harris 6.53 4. B. Cook 6.39 5. J. Kvech 6.91 6. C. Rushen 3.00 7. J. Scott (RS)

Not winding anyone up, What average would Simon Lambert be on?

Good words from Stewart Dickson in the statement. Fricke will score Double Figures every week no doubt about it, But do you actually gain anything if you've effectively got to go with 2 Rising Stars at reserve as well as a 4.00 Newcomer in the 1-5 who's got no British experience? As we all know, Leicester's undoing over the last couple of seasons has been the reserve berths.

As long as he's 100% healthy then he's the signing of the season before a wheel has been turned imo. Can see Riss upping his GSA by a minimum of 1.5 in 2026.

Building a Team featuring Brennan, Can anyone put together a better side around Owlerton? 1. J. Pickering 7.76 2. L. Flint 5.05 3. C. Holder 6.84 or T. Musielak 6.63 4. A. Rowe 5.22 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. K. Howarth 5.00 7. L. Harrison (RS) 36.92 or 36.71

This team would be unbeatable around the NSS imo. 1. B. Kurtz 8.97 2. R. Tungate 5.89 3. C. Wright 6.27 3. Z. Cook 6.20 5. M. Zagar 6.46 6. T. Zischke 3.00 7. J. Mulford (RS) = 36.79

Can fully understand why Stewart Dickson hasn't kept Max Fricke at Leicester as I don't get the logic behind the rumoured KL side at all. That tail won't stand a chance of holding up at PREM level imo, Don't get me wrong, Scott and Rushen are good riders for the future but it's way too soon to be throwing them together as a 6 & 7 partnership at PREM level. One of them as a Rising Star with an experienced No.6 who can take the pressure off is understandable but both of them as a partnership is baffling considering both riders lack experience. You've also got Ben Cook who wasn't committed at all this year, So why would next year be any different especially when Leszno are now in the Polish Top League.
