TIGERS EXCITED BY 2025 PLANS

SHEFFIELD promoter Damien Bates is anticipating an even more competitive top-flight of British Speedway in 2025.

Club chiefs from all seven ROWE Motor Oil Premiership teams spent three days earlier this week rubber-stamping the rules and regulations for next season.

Bates reckons there is plenty for fans to look forward to and feels it could be one of the most fierce play-off races for quite some time.

“I’m excited for next year already and I really think supporters of all clubs should be as well,” Bates said.

“Fair play to all the promoters in the Premiership; they all want British Speedway to be successful and the plans we’re all making with riders and fixtures for next season proves that.

“Ipswich and King’s Lynn have already announced their full teams and they both look very, very strong.

“I know a couple of other 1-7s as well and I’ll tell you now, it’s going to be a real battle to finish in the top four next year.”
