Wouldn’t say the track has been the problem so much Tuesday/Wednesday, the gulf between some of the nations is massive, not exactly going to see the finish lads mining it either the Aussies and the Dane’s were we. The top nations are so much faster than the other nations it makes it a bit of a non contest as they’re several bike lengths clear going into the first bend.

The whole sport is based on what individual promoters want to do... They even pick their divisions to race in, even if clearly too strong, or nowhere near strong enough, for that particular league.. For a pro sport, there are simply too many people who see it as an expensive hobby, rather than a business, so therefore, because they spend so much for hardly any material financial reward, or even local public awareness of any "success" they may get, they make up rules to circumnavigate what a "normal proper pro sport" would allow, thus driving a coach and horses through the sports credibility... It is quite a ludicrous situation that people willing to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds then devalue the very competitions they want to win, however, you, can see why they want to win them, regardless of their stature, when they spend hundreds of thousands of pounds!! I cannot think of another pro team sport in the UK with such a small following, small financial reward, a lack of sponsors from "outside" the sport, and such a small amount of public recognition, both locally and nationally.. (And definitely no other team sport has such an incredible operating model)... It is truly ironic that the very people who "save the sport" by spending so much, (who all love speedway and are well meaning), are the very people that prevent growth, and higher finanical rewards for success, due to the way they run things... When all are focused in what is good for UK Speedway, and not necessarily what is ideal for themselves, the sport may have a chance of moving forwards... Seven figure costs are met by the promoters each season as a collective, on riders alone, so surely now is the time to get that huge, (and for such a small sport a truly incredible outlay), to work for the sports' growth?

Today for SON 2 as well- start time 6pm UK time

Mostly voting with their feet. The tangible change the average fan can make is turning up weekly and putting their money in the till. By not doing so they’re showing they aren’t happy with the product. That’s when the supplier needs to step up and win them back. The sport isn’t doing that these days for the most part. There’s absolutely a negativity bias in the world but forums and social media can be the only place for fans to vent their frustrations.

He's got great natural instincts. He's by far the most exciting British rider coming through the ranks right now. Let's see how he does as the opposition get tougher.

Just seen Wednesday meeting the crowd level was worse than Tuesday

Dan Thompson, Luke Harrison + Luke Killeen.

Who are the Brits for SON2 ?

Imagine scoring a 15 pt maximum in a one off event, and not winning the meeting...

Good meeting, very impressed with several riders.

Be burning the midnight oil I’m afraid

The Buxton Bosoms.

You will need to take your lawnmower to cut that long grass.

Never from there

They will soon iron him out if anyone can

What will 2026 UK speedway bring? Final nail in the coffin

I’m with you on that.If it 2 Leagues they have to have more fixtures 2/home away,drop the BSN Trophy.IMO

Sunday’s match Gorzow v Bydgoszcz ( 43-47) promotion/ relegation play-off 2nd leg start time 6.30pm UK time Gorzow 9 Lebedevs 10 Krok 11 Fajfer 12 Vaculik 13 Thomsen 14 Paluch 15 Jablonski 16 Bydgoszcz 1 Wozniak 2 Brennan 3 Huckenbeck 4 Buczkowski 5 Loktayev 6 Pawelczak 7 Andrzejewski 8

If it’s still 2 leagues and I think it will be then who are the promoters pandering to?, if the majority of fans want 1 league and I am one of them then clearly they are pandering to themselves and the riders, I understand it’s not straight forward as just merging the 2 with riders, money and dates but quite frankly I was sick of seeing the same teams last season, we can’t keep doing the same thing and expect things to improve, but I’m told there is radical change planned but nobody will say what it is and the riders don’t know either

Thats their problem then🤔

Just imagine the bad weather headline. "Bulls hit by rain." I'll get me coat...

Jesus... how long is that going to take.. I've seen enough of those 3 blue tractors already!

It wasn't actually that busy, the Stary Rynek in Torun is quite small - compared to Krakow Wroclaw & Poznan at least. If there were 1.5k there I'd be surprised.
