Kemp has put the greatest percentange on his starting average at Leicester (based on the October Averages) and has put the largest amount on his starting average. Up 0.89 in comparison to Douglas +0.82 and Fricke +0.75.

And that's the manager's fault.

No one made a big deal of it, but it was great to see Chris Louis takes his medal off and put it around Ellis' neck - A really classy move 💫

Kemp is one of the reasons throughout the season that they reached the Final though ,he had issues which can happen,others didn’t exactly ride to form in Final without blaming it solely on Kemp.

Leicester have suffered in the Premiership for always having one of the latest rising star picks. And next season will be no different if there is no change in the rules. Joe Thompson had twelve rides across the semi final and final and did not score a single point. It makes the performance of the team even more remarkable when you take this into consideration. Congratulations to Ipswich who had the strongest 1-7 and were worthy of the favourites title many gave them at the start of the season

Come on on the Pirates.

I wonder what they'll try to do in the track prep this time

Glad the weather is better at the moment and there’s no doubt this will go ahead. Wouldn’t be surprised if the track is very different to Sunday. They won’t make the same mistake of over watering tonight.

As an Ipswich fan I think heat 3 could have gone either way With regards to heat 14 Thompson had bike issues .. he changed to his second bike for his 4th ride and that slowed dramatically in the heat allowing Kemp to catch him and pass him By heat 14 we only needed a finisher in each race to secure the title so putting in edwards would not have made a difference unless its a 5-0

Arry’s on the case.

Just checking has the track preparation ended yet.🤣

Something that’s been said every year for the past decade or so. Don't hold your breath for a gust of fresh air to provide real optimism for us fans. More likely a bag full of hot air and half baked ideas and SPIN aimed at sprinkling glitter on the t*^d which is the BSPA to make it sparkle although not desirable to pick up.

Come on Redcar.

If you have TNT sports you should have access to Discovery+ which has all the meeting from the season on there including gps

Well done Ipswich and commiserations to Leicester. Two talking points for me, Heat 3, Douglas bails out whilst his team mate is in front, shows no intent on getting off of the track, ref has no option but to re-run it, low and behold its a 5-1 to Ipswich and its just about game over in all honesty. Lost any momentum and in reality and any chance of winning the meeting. Heat 14, think Hawkins dropped a clanger, changing reserves could of cost Ipswich the title, obviously it is now irrelevant but at the time he should of had the luxury of having a reserve to bring in if one of them had touched the tapes or been injured etc, Only small things but massive in the grand scheme of things!!

Avin pre meeting flat white ☕ and toast before setting off to Middlesbrough 👍😊 But u can't beat the taste of success 🏆 👍

Thanks 👍🏻

Glad to see the witches win after a long wait with a few near misses thrown in recently, after a similar wait I know how you must be feeling. I’ve seen heat 13 which was very entertaining and all played out in front of a superb crowd, oh to recreate that on a regular basis. Looking forward to our meetings next season and hopefully the powers that be don’t dilute things too much and we get to appreciate our stars battling it out on track. It’s an even numbered year again so fingers crossed we keep our format going, 2022, 2024 & 2026?

Well done and congratulations Ipswich! Deserved play off winners in my eyes with the best 1-7 in the league . I'm a proud lions supporter also, we have a had a great season. KO cup and another final is something we can be proud of. In my eyes we have exceeded expectations by getting to a another play off final and I praise the riders and our gaffer Stewart Dickson. I wasn't confident at all last night so I actually didn't feel alot of a pain seeing us lose another final, I was more content with the season as a whole. It's completely ok to be out classed by a stronger opposition. We battled hard last night but unfortunately you can't win play off finals with only 5 riders getting the points in, when Kemp and Joe were getting a few more points earlier this season we looked unstoppable but when there off the boil we look vulnerable. Id like to see a different team set up next year , maybe a strong number 6 wouldn't be a bad idea. We've been struggling at reserve for a few seasons now..anyways what do I know congrats again Witches and fingers crossed next season is great for all involved.

It's up on You Tube

If correct.... Czstochowa cutting cloth accordingly to pay what they owe this year? Would be better swapping with Bydgoszcz and let them put a better team out.. Gorzow too look seriously under the level needed .

Couldn't agree more. It was unbelievable how he found himself in those situations, and how badly it turned out for him. I can certainly understand him "playing it safe", but in a sport like speedway, that can actually make things worse. After the last one. I just pray that it wasn't one too many...

They were also sponsored by national companies, (Newspapers and Tobacco companies for the big ones), which delivered some big appearance money for the top riders, and big prize values.... And for many tracks who held such meetings, it was the only other chance you got apart from the league meeting to see the "superstar" from Belle Vue/Cradley/Coventry/Exeter etc... Newspapers and Tobacco? Both of a different time and showing great decline in the amount of people purchasing those products... Sounds familiar....
