Maitland travel already advertising a trip down under seen on Facebook, no doubt travel plus will be doing the same -
2 hours to Manchester on poor roads and limited car parking available, or 3 hours to Ipswich on motorways and dual carriageways and a massive car park. Yes it might take a while to get out of the car park post meeting, but I know which journey home I would prefer at night. Added bonus is it won't be full of Aces fans. đ

The Grand Final first leg between Scunthorpe and Poole takes place at the Eddie Wright Raceway this coming Friday on the 2nd October, 2026, with the return at Poole on Wednesday 7th October. Scunthorpe have defied all the odds and made it through to the Grand Final, making thousands of speedways fans eat humble pie. Written off as bottom of the league wooden spoonists, they have defied the odds and dismissed Glasgow in the semis with relative ease. Pirates have done what was expected, ending the season and ending top of the league. They saw off Edinburgh winning both legs of the semi final. Clearly Poole are favourites to win the title but nothing will be taken for granted. No lethargy, no âwe only have to turn up to claim our prizeâ. Now obviously the whole speedway fanbase, with the exception of Pirates fans, will be supporting Scunthorpe. There will be no neutrals for these playoffs. I will put my neck on the line as say Scunthorpe to win their home leg but will come up short against Poole, who have strength in depth. So what are your thoughts? Will Scunthorpe shock the speedway world and pull off a remarkable title, or will it be Poole all the way?

My work schedule will allow me to get to both legs, weather permitting. Can Scunny, this seasonâs surprise outfit, upset the reigning champions? With new averages in operation and assuming both teams are at full strength, I think we could see two home wins with the Pirates taking an aggregate win.

I feel vindicated now - when he rode for Newcastle at Sheffield in about 2015 or 16 - he rode well but failed to beat Garrity who scored a max that night how there careers have diverged! I donât think the locals i spoke with agreed with me that Lambert would be the better! congrats anyway - a British WC has to be celebrated - sadly both our last two havenât always been entirely đŻ committed to the UK scene which maybe has a message for us all!

Great riders attacking tracks make good meetings - If Doyle were in the GP next year I can think of one rider who would really be entertaining sadly him and another master of Foxhall Emil probably wonât be in the series! I live in Sheffield I couldnât be bothered to go to GP rounds as I felt they were over priced and the thought of parking etc at BV was a nightmare. Foxhall wonât be easy either so I hope they sort that out!

As a neutral I donât give two tosses who wins the cup. I wanted an 8-10 point Berwick win to set it up nicely for the second leg. The fact that the meeting was poor entertainment with a drag race to the first bend made for finger in the fast forward button. For neutrals it doesnât float our boats. As for the crowd it was good to see a decent crowd at Berwick. Must have been a thousand there at least.

Anyone have any figures on the crowd? Looked huge on BSN and from photos Iâve seen. When a crowd is that big, Iâd have the number plastered all over the place! Well done to Berwick! Thought it would be a lot closer than that. Just hope Plymouthâs crowd in a couple of weeks isnât put off because of it

âThe ball is in Belle Vues courtâ. Coleman wanted, and Wants a GP at Belle Vue. He hasnât taken it away from there and given it to Ipswich instead. Edit: And whatâs wrong with Glasgow? Iâll admit I havenât seen anything from there myself, but all the reports I read suggest itâs far from boring. They seem to get some good racing there generally. -
Colder fuel will burn more efficentely. Fuel used must be at ambient temp.

As someone who just wants to see an entertaining meeting, I can't help but be disappointed at Ipswich replacing Belle Vue. Hopefully the track work will make a big improvement but maybe waiting a year to make sure that all went smoothly might have been better. -

Wild Cards for 2027
MattB replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
One thing Tatum and his sidekick overlooked (perhaps not surprisingly) is that last night was probably Freddie Lindgren's last ever GP. With Kim Nilsson in next year and no round scheduled for Sweden, little chance of Freddie getting picked. -
Wild Cards for 2027

Lindgren? If he wants one, he should be in. He'd have been comfortably top 6-8 if he'd been fully fit all season, and is still entertaining. -
