Workington return to the third tier for 2025.

This is just a complete guess

Jack Smith 8.73
Vinnie Foord 6.29
Ace Pijper 6.44
Sam McGurk 5.56
Stene Pijper 4.82
Mark Parker 3.00
Laylen Richardson 3.00
Total 37.84

Both Pijpers have already signed for Middlesbrough

Edit: Sorry just realised they're in 2 separate leagues 😄 This is gonna take some remembering...

Dont get too excited too soon, lot of rumours about discontent in this NDL 2 set up . It certainly doesnt make sense geography wise when Workingtons neighbours, Edinburgh , Redcar and Sheff/Scuny dont have to travel to Plymouth , Kent or Kings Lynn in mid week for a meaningless development fixture.
Surely a north south split would have been more sensible and might even attract fans to travel.

Ooh this could get really messy, especially if riders are signed and then a switch to a potential north/south split occurs. 

North - Edinburgh, Workington, Middlesborough, Belle Vue & Scuffield

South - Oxford, Leicester, Birmingham, Kent & Plymouth (can't see Kings Lynn bothering if its a 5 way split)

North looks ok and would open a path for Glasgow to join 2026 but South would be nervous with 2 only established teams and the others re-joining this year and Plymouths reputation of NL hokey cokey might make future seasons less viable......that said when has Speedway ever planned for the future.

AGM has happened, rules have been agreed, riders signed & some teams complete.

Surely if teams weren't happy with the situation it would've been sorted before announcing the new competitions?

Ps why is the King's Lynn match a "meaningless development fixture".

So rules / agreements have never been changed in speedway before ?

Well it cant be taken very seriously with only 4/5 teams in it and the riders all riding for other clubs who probably take priority on any clashes as will any championship call ups but lets hope all is rosey in the speedway garden and its better run than the rest of the sport.
