No incentive there then.

just to add a little perspective, riders have been known to get guarantees in speedway.

Prem Pawlicki has signed for 2026 with Zielona Gora and makes his comeback from injury in the home match tomorrow.

Ah yes, The News of the World? Where are they now......!?

You wonder if PK is fit? Been struggling it would seem with I think leg or knee injury

Don't write off Ben He has had decent meetings for Redcar at Berwick and normally very sharp gater Unlucky to lose place at Plymouth Was exceptional for monarchs academy at Scunthorpe last night with 12point max. Aye it was NDL but fair play

Yes. Several instances over the years of riders being paid to drop points. The News of The World published a report years ago and riders were fined/banned. That's the problem with today's out of control guest system whether riders are trying to manipulate results or not the suspicion is there.

Slick and the material produced powdery. Some decent racing but below par for Ashfield IMHO.

Needs to be an out n out No1... Keep Stevie Worrall and Luke Harrison at all costs.

Looking at the August averages, Birmingham will be 8.97 below the points limit!

Godfrey said in this weeks star he is thinking of making a change to try someone out for next year. Lambet and Allen have been great servants of the club but both have been poor this year, I suspect either one or both will be for the chop.

Both the No.2's tonight were superb. Track was good too with lines for passing inside and out. I just wish Heat 13 had an extra lap as Howarth was looking so determined for that 2nd place.

Thing is... Yes, they're all good lads... yes, they all do their best..... but as a team, the quality just ain't there, we should at least be competitive at home. I didn't go tonight.. despondent... I ain't paying £25 to watch 15 heats expecting us to lose ...add to that, waiting 30-45 mins for the next meeting (which I'd probs only endure about 5 heats).. It's hard work being a Scorpions fan at the minute.

Do you really think riders are gonna ride below par when they earn nothing and pay fuel tyre and ware on bikes They only make money if they score well

Beaten by the better team again, fair play to the Monarchs, they wanted it more! Monarchs fans, you're a credit to your club! It was a nice change to be able to hear visiting support from the centre green! As for Scunny, my general feeling is their going through the motions to get the season done now... Massive changes needed at the EWR next season, will we see them? I wouldn't hold my breath...

Ooohh, cheers. Hadn't seen the team news

He rode well tonight IMO.Kildemand was the let down for me.Couldn’t gate too save himself after his 1st race win.Berwick win might have been on the cards if he had. track looked slicker than normal for Ashfield,some decent racing as usual.

Yes I remember that. If he can get half of that on Monday though I’d be staggered. His average is what it is for a reason. As a Lions fan I see Lynn’s biggest threat as Klindt. It would not surprise me if he were to be given 12 or more rides over the two legs. He rides the Leicester track as well anyone on his day. Thing is with Lynn, they’re all six pointers and you never know what to expect on the night. Anyway, I’m expecting a good final between two teams who are not top heavy (one nine pointer) and similarly built. I see BSN are covering both legs which is great, as I’m not confident about TNT even getting the tricky captains coin toss right.

Fair point! Not sure I agree that Bomber and Howarth will have a field day. They didnt in the PT match at Shielfield. Berwick will be bang up for it tomorrow imo. Certainly some sunlight for Berwick going into the last month or even two.

By my reckoning he hasn't scored a single point in his last 3 meetings (10 races)

Nagel was impressive,track seemed very slick though.IMO

Great but unexpected result for us Bandits on a well prepared track. Jeppesen after his first 2 rides was superb, ably backed up by Kemp. Batchelor and Kildemand were steady, and Smith at reserve done his job. Hagon and Wood both had nights to forget. Berwick will be hoping to secure the bonus point on Saturday against, no disrespect a weakened Glasgow team.

Flint isn’ t there r/r for Thompson Villads also missing,can see a home win if Jonus If takes too Shielfield. He was brilliant at Ashfield tonight as was Drew. Batch was Ok after Ht1 EF.Kindermand was disappointing considering he won his 1st race.Howarth beat him of 15mtrs in Heat 13 !! Hagon wasn’t at the races.

Best behave then

Brilliant team effort from the Monarchs, gives us a good boost towards the play offs. The only thing more shambolic than Simon Lambert, is that the NL meeting wasn’t streamed. Surely they could have left a camera running for that match?
