I get the context, my point is a sport, that wants to see itself as being taken seriously by the wider sporting public, should not be allowing teams to race for league points when there's only 2 of it's regular members riding. The fact that the rules allow this is why Speedway in the UK is in the state it is. Compare Speedway to a professional sport where their ruling body did step in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/articles/cjeyz09313do

Simply because things do happen. At Foxhall recently I could have easily seen the Aces get a 5-1 in Ht13 rather than the other way around. Thompson showed he can register a poor score as can others and I think Aces can beat Ipswich at their place and bring a few points in hand. I'd have put £20 on the Witches reserves outscoring the Aces reserves but they didn't. Speedway can be unpredictable - I though Redcar would muller Plymouth on Saturday but far from it, they nearly lost!

Someone needs to do a bit of investigation digging here and find out who had those leaflets printed and distributed and made sure it hit the local papers,because this has all the hallmarks of a inside hit job

quite looking forward to this, should be a good close competitive match said absolutely no one

When did jeppersen get injured ?

same convo happened last year after getting hammered on aggregate against the challenging teams, same happened in 2022 when we won the play offs in 2021 when Peterborough won, we beat them 4 times out of 4 in league, then play offs they beat us so while yes, i think this is the year that we probably wont change our fortunes, you cant write us off just yet, play offs are a different animal

Why? Appreciate we all have opinions, just interested in your reasoning for this. Belle Vue are simply not as good and by a margin. Of course it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they’d win over two legs, but it will be an upset and against all logical reasoning if they did so with two full strength teams. If Ipswich lose to Belle Vue in the semi final and we are at full strength, then we’ve choked IMO and failed badly as a team.

I think this will be tight... I'm amazed at Becker's recovery, but like others have said, this meeting might be too soon for him to score the points that R/R has been getting in his absence.

think your going the wrong way 🤣

And the prize for 'How to contradict oneself in the same post', goes to... The rules at the end of the day are what they are, do most people agree with them, not really. But the reality is, Plymouth saw two riders injured less than 24 hours before staging this meeting. They also had two others injured from 7 days prior. At this point in the season to suggest they could sign replacements is a bit of a joke (as much of a joke as the guest system but hey ho). Context is everything.

Well nearly end of the season for the Brummies, need to get an away win, just this one and Leicester left , probably stream this one. Got this daft idea of of going to the Leicester fixture, more likely get a win there, it being a gaters track (Yes I know I laughed out loud as well). But first we have to deal with the Aces on home shale, our no 1 (honest) will have to have his gating gloves on, a quicker bike and stop riding like a prat. Rew should get a few, Lambert (simon) rides well at this track, Hagon has had a few rides in various meeting at BV so expecting a good show from him. Paco always gives 100%. Zager always a happy hunting ground and former Bv no 1, he should be our ace in the pack. R/R for Jeppeson a bit of a blessing. We are certain to get double figues as there are 15 heats, but how many after that is anybodies guest, plus 30 and I`ll be dancing around the room. Come on the Brummies

Everything I said was true, you just don’t like it because your team were the ones that pinched it. Just admit you took advantage of another teams terrible misfortune and got away with one that you didn’t deserve 🙄

Bastian Pedersen is the Wildcard for the final round in Vojens. Reserves are 17 Nagel 18 Heiselberg

He's actually seventh [of seven] in 2025 averages for all official fixtures http://www.gbspeedway.com/2025/teamstats.php?mc1=f&mc2=ta&mc3=av&mc4=Oxford Cheetahs&team=Oxford Cheetahs&league=B&comp=All&avtype=av&reload=Y#mobile_stats

https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/25393543.local-fight-starts-swindon-speedway-stadium-plans/ The sound of an aircraft landing that can be heard 10 miles away. It sounds awful!! Who wrote the leaflet? Clark Osborne?

Didn't someone get in trouble recently for using that system?

It doesnt take me that long cycling, you can take the tram too

Ipswich were the best team on Paper last year, but injures cost them, but its cost a lot of teams over the years. The year before Belle Vue were the best team, if Charles wright would have been fit for the play offs Ipswich wouldn't have been in the final.

hopefully some good races, hope Brummies put up more of a fight this time, the meeting 6 weeks ago was a long night.

Quite. If the Witches face the Aces in the semi I can see them being beaten over two legs - past performance is no guarantee of future return!

Apologies if this is already on here but I’ve just registered my support for this via https://development.wiltshire.gov.uk/pr/s/planning-application/a0iQ300000FdUf7IAF/pl202506229?tabset-8903c=3 It can only help.

I don't think they deliberately not score point's as it's their living.

Agree entirely. Watched him on a few occasions on BSN and has a very tidy style. Not afraid to go up to the fence either. Hopefully, could go far.

Altrincham Town Centre to Manchester City Centre is around 20 to 25 mins in a car depending on time of day... M56, A34 being the quickest when I used to make the journey.. Although via Sale or the Princess Parkway also used to get me in to Piccadilly easily within 30 mins... Both very easy straight runs... Google has Altrincham to Gorton in 25 mins via M56, M60 but "cutting through" via A34 or A6, is even quicker... Simon Calder to play me....
