Hi, I’ve got 2 tickets for saturday night for sale. East stand,block d,row s. Cost £140 so any offers close to this will be considered.

Mike, we had loads of guests back in the heyday as the excellent Speedway Researcher will testify. The percentage was lower as we had way more fixtures back then. Teams did ride on their preferred racenight but they do now. Sheffield & Ipswich did/do run on a Thursday. Northampton are new, Kings Lynn changed from the weekend but Leicester moved from a Tuesday! Belle Vue needed to change as there is now such competition for a Saturday night in Manchester that speedway would always lose out. Most of the top league teams we have lost has been due to planners/developers and not the race nights or competition value. If I’m being honest I see little difference in the credibility and reward in winning stuff now and back then. One of the big “rewards” was when Dave Lanning took out an insurance policy on the Racers winning the league and when they did, it was duly paid out. This was more a publicity stunt which we do not get now as promoters are not in the same mould as Lanning, Mawdsley, Thomas & Berry, sadly. Back then there were meetings like the Golden Apple or Warburtons Trophy that had no consequences or rewards but were dam fine meetings as there was thousands there. Halifax always won the Warburtons trophy against us (usually on a last heat decider) as it was good for their business, no matter how contrived. Promoters realised back then that we were a sports entertainment business where’s now they just think we are a proper sport. Doubling up/down is a mess - no question. That is a result of a lack of investment in the next generation and the fact it is way more expensive to throw your leg over a bike than back then.

I brought all the qualifiers and final on FIM-MOTO.TV and cant even access the Glasgow round as it states I need the 2025 season pass even though it's 2026. Watched the other two okay so even the official site has cocked it up

A deluge.....😁

My sources tell me it was called off five weeks ago.

Links for Zielona Gora v Leszno (remember it starts 30 minutes later than usual at 2000 CET, 7pm UK): https://vkvideo.ru/video-234681448_456239220 https://vk.com/video-81427162_456239791

He did take the p155 out of Plymouth for a whole season, we shouldn't be surprised really

Tad Harsh !!! But yes AI will remove the need for creatives / designers in the future. As it has already done with journalists.

we have lost the passion in this country. but who can blame us when its at the state it is..

The last race, a pretty much run of the mill 5-1, shows the difference between our version of Speedway and theirs . Over here? Virtual silence, apart from some polite applause, in a three quarters empty stadium.. Over there? A five figure crowd celebrate like their team were World Champions.... Any "newbies" over there couldn't help but get engaged...

Exactly - My family (3adults and 1 child) have done British Finals and SON at the NSS. Unfortunately train fares , hotels and Sat date put a stop to the British Final. The SGP at Manchester add the FIM tickets to trains, hotel etc over £1000 even with advance bookings so stopped going unfortunately.

Get us in then queue for hours only to give up and go with out a drink , even water …court of human rights 😟

Great team riding from the Torun lads , A 5-1 to a 3-3 in one bend...😁

Ryanair.....😁

It's a little bit different but it is good to watch all the same. The racing isn't bad at all. This sport of flat track motorcycle racing has definitely lots of potential.

Sounds like Klindt has been taking the p***!

15 point max in Poland today for Klindt apparently. Obviously nothing wrong with him on Friday, it just didn't suit his schedule. Should receive a ban from GB speedway and Redcar should sack him!

Looks like Klindt must have been healed by Jesus after missing Redcar's meeting on Friday. Maximum in Poland today. What a farce!

I agree, but I never paid more than £30 for a ticket at Cardiff after the first year after I realised there was an excellent view of the track no matter where you sat and I think the last ticket I bought cost me £23!

Unbelievable Jeff 😂

Those Torun race suits are horrible.

Sadly they do, due to sharing so many HL/SS riders, unlike other leagues.. One rider getting injured on a Monday could miss meetings on Wed, Thu, Fri and Sat... The potential answer is to run five man teams, like Denmark, so riders are available to replace those missing, or a fit for purpose RR system, however, the main reason for running UK Speedway is solely to provide rides for riders to earn money, therefore unlikely to happen..

That’s the spirit.
