I don’t really understand people using the fact Mayfield have made cuts at GP level as a stick to beat them with. The product was haemorrhaging money left right and centre. There was hardly a queue of people lining up to take over Warner/Discovery who wanted nothing more to do with it all. Any businessman worth his salt would be making monetary cuts to stem the flow of losses. That’s just common sense isn’t it? Really don’t understand the criticism there at all.

Sheffield are “freezing” their admission price of £25. So a book of 10 meetings totals a grand old saving of, ZERO pounds! Yes, you get a few little bits and bobs thrown in, team photo, birthday card etc, but who on earth is going to lump up £250 in one hit rather than “pay as you go” for the same price?

That’s good to hear Phil. People have said on here one extra track makes little difference but I totally disagree. One more/less club in a division with a high number of clubs I agree makes little difference, but the lower number you go, the bigger difference that one club makes. A six team Premiership is far far better than a five team Premiership no matter what some naysayers will tell you. Just hope they can put something decent together team wise to make it a reasonable success. Nobody wants a weak marooned team at the bottom that everybody else is beating every week

https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/p25_issue_27.pdf Every year there is a “Final” GSA declaration. The one for 2025 doesn’t have final written on them. Are these the final GSA’s or is there other fixtures still to be added to these totals?

Not from me there isn’t. That came from the 360 podcast.

Would take that all day long. May lack heat winners and could take a few hidings at the likes of Sheffield and Belle Vue, but it’s solid and competitive and a decent effort considering how late they’ve come to the party. IF that is the side, obviously. Thought Lawson was at Northampton?

Thorssell is only 32! 😲 Genuinely thought he was in his early 40’s! Seems to have been around forever.

It’s kept a topic of conversation going right through the Winter months you’re right. Usually everything is done pre-Christmas and this forum dies a death until March.

My prediction is Ipswich scrape in to fourth, then bring in Doyle at the very least when other leagues shut up shop and pi$$ the play offs 🤪

As it stands and with the rumoured team, I’d Fuc***g take him in a heartbeat! 😁

If it is then they won’t be taking much this year in terms of gate receipts that’s for sure 😂

No. Why didn’t they do that in the previous two seasons then? Doyle has been hitting 9+ averages for donkeys years! And Emil was only ever here for a short stint. Lowering their averages makes zero sense. They’re in decline.

11.27 left for final two. An eight point number 1 looks unlikely then.

That could have harmed negotiations though TTT. He was never going to release an update until the ink was dry on the agreement, which came yesterday.

Someone else has just said that also, but neither of you know that. The fella who I’m not going to name, can be a very awkward customer. It’s entirely possible the goalposts would have been moved when someone other than Chris Louis was negotiating the lease.

Aren’t you excited to see what team of undesirables and misfits they’ve managed to cobble together? 😁

Pretty much what I expected from the behind scenes wording I was given. It didn’t sound as though it would be a comprehensive update of anything completed, and so it’s proved. But, at least he’s provided a further update and put us all in the picture on the reasoning for the delay so that’s appreciated. We now know the reason for the delay was stadium related, and that issue has now been resolved. Good to know there were no issues between Louis, and the prospective new owners and it’s all still going ahead as planned. Team almost in place also. Alas the wait now goes on for official confirmation.

Update coming this evening.

Paul Hurry?

In all seriousness Buttons makes a good point. Someone official has to be there don’t they? It’s all getting a bit bizarre

Well hopefully someone who is attending can find out what the hell is going on and then let us know!

You can stop checking your phones people. Now “very unlikely today”. 😂

The pessimist in me is thinking it’s Ipswich with the bad news. The wording “there will be some sort of update on Tuesday” doesn’t fill me with confidence that they will be announcing either a completed sale, or any rider signings today. Just another non update of “sorts”. I could be completely and utterly wrong of course. Let’s hope I am.
