See you down there! Plymouth do seem to be leading the way with their initiatives 👍🏻

I'd agree, but... there's not one CL team that has announced season ticket sales yet despite them merrily announcing signings as if it's completely business as usual and there's nothing to see here. Which leads me to suspect that everything could change at a moments notice.

I don't blame him because as it stands at the moment there is no top tier Speedway in the UK in 2026

I saw this the other day from 1933 and the remarkable thing is how much of the presentation has not changed since then:

From Cardiff to Foxhole, via Manchester, in 2 years that's quite some decline

Only if Luke Becker gets the wild card 😁🇺🇸

... meanwhile in North Lincolnshire

"Lap 1" of Ep 32 was missing from Spotify this week

Would be nice to hear from the others instead of treating their fans with contempt!

Maybe that was the time they found out there would be no tv deal renewal... or maybe June/July when Mr Dickson called for and EAGM?

I don't think the EAGM happened... they just sailed blindly on towards the iceberg

Sounds feasible doesn't it

I think he was getting at there's no ideas or leadership in place to do anything other than the status quo, it's been proven time and again

You should see my wet farts 😂

Sounds like you're asking somebody to make some numbers up to challenge the numbers you've made up, is that right? As the numbers are not in the public domain you may be waiting for a while.

I seriously doubt any 2026 CL club would want to go PL in 2027, especially with no tv deal... I think that's just BSPL hoping a CL club takes leave of their senses and makes the move up... which just isn't going to happen, like it's not happened for the 2026 season.

It's quite unfathomable that something that has been proven over the years to not work (and that was with a TV deal) and gotten us to the place that we are today... is something that they're striving (to ridiculous fantasy proportions) to keep!

Very much so, in fact that very phrase was used... smh

He said the he requested an emergency AGM last June/July as he could see this coming They met in Barnsley 7 or 8 weeks ago under the impression everything was agreed... until a couple of weeks later it wasn't He thinks something will be put in place (PL & CL) to get through 2026 with a view to a 6PL 8CL in 2027 He expects and is confident that Ippo will be sold and continue in PL Sheffield not even mentioned! The 2026 league will not be a perfect league (that's an understatement!)

1,000,000% that 👆! Not one of them had the foresight to have any kind of plan in place as to what to do if/when the tv deal came to an end. The remaining PL promoters are in a state of complete denial. The desperation shown in trying to get a 6th club has been beyond embarrassing. There's been absolutely no leadership from the top, with 2 of them jumping the burning ship.

The NPPF is just that though a policy framework, I don't know if it's legally binding, does the Coventry decision make it legally binding. Policies can change easily and 10 years of policy seem to have been ignored at Coventry. Can see this one going to the courts again.

I'm assuming it'll just be comments on the last few seasons... as clearly nobody is allowed to comment on the future 🤷‍♂️

Now the tenants are out, it's best for land owners to keep it that way. The provision of an alternative venue for Panthers to run at as contained in the NPPF and Local Plans has not really helped Coventry in the last 10 years. It's going to be another long haul

Set your alarm clocks! Broadcast Time Confirmed! Team Manager Stewart Dickson will be on BBC Radio Leicester tomorrow at 7.10am. Think you’ll miss it? You can catch it afterwards using the Listen Again feature on the BBC Radio Leicester website.

So who is the successor to Doris Stokes and Derek Acorah and how do we get them involved. They'd be more use than Harry Redknapp! ... Doris Stokes, one for the kids there 😂
