  1. Past hour
  2. Can I have some of those sour grapes ๐Ÿ‡? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ - Why do so many people talk about Ipswich fans saying they will win the league when itโ€™s only a select few?
  3. Could quite easily have altered the play off dates, and maybe they should be held after the last gp anyway to stop the Kurtz farce happening Then we could have completed the league and had the correct teams riding against each other once again no lessons learned after last years farce
  4. AI is not accurate or verified, just reports what's on other online sites, as you've just proved.
  5. If done correctly then absolutely. On the basis of a league with 14 teams you could race home and away against everyone once, then another round of six fixtures against the sides in your north/south conference. Makes for 19 home meetings per team, plenty of speedway. Points count in your north/south conference and then there are play offs to decide overall champions at the end. Either top of each region over two legs or the top two from each region qualify with semi finals. Not necessarily what Iโ€™d like to happen but an option.
  6. Am I right in thinking the cut-off for averages is 23rd of each month? If so, looks like Ellis and Dan T swap, so the latter is back at reserve for the Play off final
  7. Today
  8. See it is r~r for Bowes tomorrow and means Tate can have a extra ride as he is one above in the averages.Hope the weather plays ball.
  9. Exactly Arthur good point, can't see him being anywhere else but it's certainly possible
  10. Interestingly I did a google search to confirm SWC is 29th August 2026, and AI corrected me and stated it was 27th September 2026.
  11. Specially if it does go too one league, with Richard currently doubling up, his earnings could potentially be cut in half
  12. Why did you think that's funny blue? most sportsman in any sport follow the money,and in speedway now there's no legal reasons to stop riders moving around
  13. Well no ban then, as he's actually riding! ๐Ÿ˜ Never seen him before so looking forward to seeing how he does tonight.
  14. Obviously lawson happy at poole but I'm sure if poland offered him ยฃ800 a point and not ride uk he'd be off
  15. Everything has been tried and failed, there will always be someone chasing the big plastic trophy every year, who's happy to exploit every loophole in the Rulebook, no matter what the cost.
  16. Just to echo what a few others have said, no one wants any track to close even if that track was seen as a rival, the sport is only as strong as the clubs in it, the more that go, the more chance your own club could fall. I have seen three clubs that I used to attend on a regular or semi regular basis go, Arena Essex, Rye House and Hackney, not been to a meeting since 2018 when Arena went but still get the star every week and watch the odd match on you tube or the highlights posted on social media, because having followed it from 1988 to 2018, itโ€™s in my blood now, for me personally at its core, four riders sliding around an oval track is classic.
  17. oh i agree, i worked for BT when i rode and used holiday, i'm just pointing out that i've had these discussions with riders in the past
  18. Congratulations to the Leicester Lions . Winners of the Premier League 2025. They've won more meetings than any other team and lost less meetings than any other team. But this is British speedway at its finest and apparently that counts for nothing. Lets concoct a weird scoring system that seems them finish 3rd , even though the 2 teams above them have an inferior record!! ๐Ÿค”
  19. I think assets for clubs went out the window, must agree though, that Lawson ain't going anywhere, loves it at Poole
  20. North will have too many teams compared with south. Iwade, Poole and Plymouth donโ€™t make a league. They are truly southern. Suppose if you add in the east angles you get to 5 .
  21. A huge difference between not giving your team everything in a play off semi final as opposed to a nothing end of season filler Was obviously just done as a favour to Sheffield so that they didn't suffer financially from 1) having to secure the stadium as a reserve in case of the need to stage their leg of the play off semi or 2) being fined for not completing their fixtures I agree though that it is far from ideal and would look suspect under scrutiny if the sport was actively pursuing professional integrity and transparency
