No Swedish GP next year. Mรฅlilla GP director says that costs are too high. https://www.vimmerbytidning.se/sport/speedway/artikel/malilla-avstar-gp-2027/rmwqpdml -

R87 is a wind up/parody I believe. -
This is the thing so many people fail to realise. They are also expecting their first child so the idea that he'll ditch Sweden for the UK next year is probably wide of the mark.

Berwick wont throw that away now , not a chance. Be all over by heat 7 or 8 at Plymouth. That was a pretty pathetic effort from them in all honesty and its lucky Barker had a good meeting. still not as impressive as Newport battering Glasgow , who were league champions that season, 65-25 in the first leg of the final in 2011 though. ๐

Too many people prove the old saying better to be thought a fool etc the fact is they can also get more people in at Foxhall - see people cling to this notion we can get Cardiff back - not realising the huge costs of running the GP and forgetting the racing wasnโt up to much! donโt disagree that the NSS is a great racetrack and little stadium but we do need to get more than one venue involved!

Motorways and Dual Carriageways?... You been to Ipswich from the North of the country? And it won't be 3 hours when you get stuck behind Farmer Palmer in his tractor on the "dual carriageway", or sat there stopped, for a herd of 100 cows to cross over the "dual carriageway" as their grazing field is on the opposite side to the milking barn.. I remember when Manchester got the GP's and all the negative comments about the lack of bars, restaurants and hotels when compared to Cardiff... I presume Ipswich must be very similar to Cardiff given I haven't read anything negative about it yet... Is the track in the city centre like Cardiff, or just 5 mine outside like the NSS is?.. Or will the "dual carriageways" be busy..?..

Plenty of fields in the middle of nowhere next to the Ipswich track ๐ -

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. ๐

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 โwe only have to turn up to claim our prizeโ. 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?

StevePark started following THE BIG ONE! KO CUP FINAL (BANDITS v GLADIATORS) Saturday 26th, 7pm

My work schedule will allow me to get to both legs, weather permitting. Can Scunny, this seasonโs 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.
