Also while we're at it let's go back to 1 GP per country and introduce some new audiences

https://ipswichwitches.co/mayor-of-ipswich-to-attend-play-off-final-at-foxhall/ We’re even wheeling out the ol Mayor on Thursday! Reading that, it’s all a bit too presumptuous for me. Leicester have a golden opportunity to do the funniest thing ever here 😁

Love him or hate him at least he generates an opinion and the media outlets love that... I can often find myself loving and hating him in the same meeting! Zmarzlik as good as he undoubtedly is adds nothing to Speedway outside of Poland and possible Sweden.

Both wheels have to be wholly over the line - and even then if they're doing that to avoid a collision it's ok - which he wasn't but Emil could have taken that route to avoid the almost stationary Leicester rider on bend 3/4.

You think? I suppose it depends on the wording of the regulation - does it state over the line or wholly over the line for example Doesn't look to me like there's any tyre on the shale If its like footballs goal line technology then perhaps he has a few mm still on the line itself Thing is I don't think anyone inside even had a thought about it No mention on comms and nothing from the team Ref doesn't appear to review any footage in the way he did with the falls It warranted a look at least imo

I thought you were next in line?

Where does that leave Mencel?

Yes. Broken hand. Came off at Wimborne Whoppa.

Rew guesting?..... perfect interview for next season ?.... not that he needs one!

Just had pre meeting flat white ☕ with toast at me local Costa 👍☺️ I'll be on the 0941 train to London as I make my way to WINborne Road the place where legends are made. Great news to hear that Richard is riding our no.1 and talisman 👍 C'mon the Boyzzz ☠️ 💪 We're Gonna Win the Cup 🏆

Polish media are reporting that Keynan Rew is returning to Leszno in 2026 to ride in the U 24 position. This will enable under the new rules for 2026 that it’s 1 U 21 Pole and 1 U 21 foreign rider allowed in the 6/7( 14/15) positions for Nazar Parnitskyi to partner Kacper Mania in those positions.

Get better soon Steve 👍

He won’t be meeting up with me tonight. I’ve contracted Covid and it’s nasty. I will be following from the live stream.

Is Ritchings injured then?

Lawson rides. Hodder in for Scott.

Doubt it as Adam was riding well.

well.... that just proves he wasnt over the line and was on it

i also said this, but nothing wrong with being confident in your own team, especially with our recent results in the play offs but i am worried for arsebell to

Why would it be a problem using the same guest every home meeting when your replacing a rider who would normally be riding every home meeting.

Apart from Fricke, I don't think there were any other "stonewall" wild card options. Doyle & Vaculik had a few issues with injuries, but still wouldn't have challenged for a top 7 spot. The best non-gp riders made it through already (Madsen, Dudek, Jepsen-Jensen). With no obvious picks, I would've gone with next in line in GPs / GP challenge, certainly not Woffy. Fricke - yes Then 2 or Doyle, Vaculik, Michelsen or Thomsen. If the organisers are choosing wildcards for clicks & publicity, I'm half surprised they didn't go for Hannah Grunwald along with Woffy 🤭

The problem with that, is a club could practically use the same guest in every home match. Mind you home riders don't ride "every week" anymore.

"Maybe Hans Nielsen would try again, Ole Olsen could get a chance, or Tony Rickardsson would fight Bartosz Zmarzlik for a seventh title?" - reports sportowefakty.pl It's time to end the wild cards! They distort the essence of the competition. Let's go back to the founding fathers' idea and run the Grand Prix Challenge according to their philosophy. For example, let's let eight riders remain in the series, and all the rest who don't make it will get a chance to compete in the Challenge tournament. We'll also add the other half of the qualifying players.

Let me help…

Add Brennan and Wozniak and it’s a solid team!

Should have been in Portugal tomorrow night, but will be at Wimborne Road instead hoping for Lawson to be riding and for the Pirates to do better than a +6 win. Could be that the Bears crumble, certainly had limited fight in them on Sunday, and I feel that they aren't on the up.
