wouldnt shock me to see ace pijper as our reserve next year

a salary cap means nothing when brown envelopes will just be placed in there pockets

id like to see just the 1 race night next season, preferbly monday, 1 home match every 2 weeks, facing each team just once home, once away, i think you could entice more riders over if they didnt have to fly in twice a week. they then get more family time from wednesday/thursday till weekend

lidsey is back with you guys, shocked hes not at belle vue tbh

dan didnt want to race in britain next year

top 2 pretty much confirmed, so until we know the points limit then i have no idea who the others could be. klindt on a low average and he put himself in the shop window, he is also going to be using a british license so will he get the deduction or not??? you would say ben cook is a shoe in, so we can get wins at home. preferbly id take the same team as this year with bewley for doyle but sadly that wont be able to happen which is a crying shame

dan just worded it wrong thats all,

Daniel Bewley has made no secret of his opposition to the planned changes to British speedway. The Betard Sparta Wrocław player criticised the idea of making the possibility of competing in foreign leagues conditional on having a contract in the UK. He used strong words in an online discussion, referring to human rights and describing the proposed solution as "modern slavery." The new rules are to come into force from the 2027 season and may also affect leading British riders competing in Poland. BEWLEY SHOT VERY ABOUT FORCE START The British ACU wants players using its licence to also participate in domestic competitions. Under the announced regulations, from 2027, competing in the British league is to be a condition for obtaining permission to race abroad. In practice, this would mean that riders such as Daniel Bewley and Robert Lambert would have to include performances in the UK if they wanted to continue competing in the Polish league. The idea sparked Bewley's opposition. The Sparta Wrocław player referred on platform X to a fan's post criticising the attempt to force Lambert to drive in British competitions. There is no way to enforce this," Bewley wrote. The rider also said he believed the court would reject such a solution "in two seconds." In his assessment, he referred to human rights and used the term "modern slavery." His position is primarily to limit players' ability to decide for themselves where they want to work and which leagues to compete in. BEWLEY DRIVES ONLY IN THE UK The British man's statement is particularly telling because he does not dissociate himself from his home league. He has represented Manchester-based Belle Vue Aces for years and has also signed with the club for the 2027 season. His objection therefore concerns not driving in the UK itself, but making the right to perform in other countries dependent on it. The situation is different for Robert Lambert, who has not competed regularly in British competitions in recent years. The player had previously made a possible return conditional on limiting the schedule to one match day a week. The announced solution does not meet this condition: British games are expected to take place both on Mondays and Thursdays. For players, this would mean having to include two league dates in the weekly calendar. There are also travels, equipment preparation and the need to reconcile duties in several games. TWO FOREIGN LEAGUES TO CHOOSE FROM The obligation to compete in the UK is part of a wider arrangement for the international speedway calendar. On the occasion of the three-year agreement between leagues and federations, which is to apply from 2027, it was also announced that it would limit the number of foreign leagues in which a player with a contract in Poland would be able to play simultaneously. According to the rules presented, he will be able to choose at most two of the three leagues: British, Swedish and Danish. If British players have to compete in their homeland, they will be left with the option of choosing only one of the other two leagues - Swedish or Danish. Such a solution would limit the freedom to plan for the season and could influence players' contractual decisions. In the case of riders performing in Poland, an additional obligation would mean the need to adjust the calendar to the requirements of the British federation. WHAT DO THE NEW REGULATIONS MEAN FOR SPARTA WROCŁAW? The issue is also important for Betard Sparta Wrocław. Daniel Bewley has represented the club since 2020 and recently announced the extension of his contract for another two seasons. So Sparta has further sporting plans with the Briton. If the announced regulations come into force in the form presented, maintaining the possibility of Bewley's starts in Poland will also require meeting the conditions for his performances in his homeland. The ultimate importance of the legislation will depend on its implementation and how it is enforced. Supporters of the changes may point out that the presence of more top players would elevate the level and appeal of British competitions. On the other hand, there are questions about the freedom to choose leagues, the load on the schedule and the possibility of reconciling additional starts with duties in Poland. Daniel Bewley made his position clear: he disagrees with a solution that makes the ability to race abroad conditional on a mandatory contract in his home league. His strong words show that the proposed regulations can become a subject of further discussion in the international speedway environment Interesting bit in there. Dan back at belle vue. Sorry Ipswich

If it is to be 6 teams again they better make sure teams are of equal stature and any team can win. Make every match a must win

be very grippy

who cares, were in the final and your not

IS IT, funny that, im here now and it isnt and not had rain this morning, had a lot of rain over night mind you

picko jenkins mpt hook brennan ingram someone else

after heat 15 at poole, if you watch it back you can see him in pain getting off the bike

1850 the grandstand holds 1200 south stand holds,

no, hes a young aussie who i expect to come over next season, maybe season after

of course, but you would want the u21s that are good enough

lemo not ruled him out, but id probably say klindt will be the guest

we would love some of the top u21s in the league, but lets be real, we will be looking at rasmus karlsson mitch mcdairmid viv muddle pawel sitek possibly tate zischke if he still counts as an u21 rider, he turns 22 next year and riders like that ideally we would want bailey pawelczak nagel pedersen malkeiwiecz andersson

lets look at options, rushen in poland so couldnt do it batchelor -you would moan MPT - injured RR - not worth the risk

In lemo we trust

i was wrong about that, i was worried once killer withdrawn but the lads stepped up massively, cook excellent, tate excellent, doyle and brady excellent. very good aces contingent on 3rd and 4th bend, created a great atmosphere. still 15 races to go though, so while one hand is on the trophy now, lets not get to complacent

sounds like bewley wasnt planning on racing uk next season, and lamberts

im dreading tonight if im honest, so much pressure on cook whos away form as deserted him of late. we will have done well to keep within 14 points

every team can make 2 or 3 signings knowing they want them and will fit whatever the team average will be, easy to work out the 2 at northampton will be thomsen and harrison
