Would Belle Vue prefer to Face Ipswich in the semi, or one of either Leicester or Sheffield? Because if they’d rather avoid another trip to Foxhall and hope they get dumped out in the semi, then it’s best to have an “ off day” here and let Sheffield win to help them finish top.

The win here means if Sheffield fail to beat Belle Vue at the NSS, we’ll finish top if we beat Sheffield at home, even losing the away leg AND the bonus to Sheffield.

Talking through your rear end again !

Proper FIM events, yes. FIM Europe are the Mickey Mouse ones

gavan does come across as a crazy ex stalker, just like acebelle tbf

Thompson had five rides, and when the Witches were comfortable he ran a couple of lasts - I wonder if they miscalculated that would be sufficient? He could have easily run another last in Heat 15 just to be sure. Leicester kept Masters just below Becker with some tactical non-scoring.

Second bank holiday fixture for me, it's like the Dudley-Wolves days of my youth only much more travelling and less niggle on the terraces! Lions to win by 10 on the final Speedway to ever be raced in the West Midlands ☹️

And we all know who is to blame for that. They were quite happy in the NDL only to be forced up by the powers that be.

Well this will be the first of two fixtures for me on Monday, weather forecast is good at the moment, Leon Flint to clean up at reserve but Aces top 4 get them enough points to creep over 45?

I think so. I haven't seen anything from Poole or Glasgow in the press about finishing top so they can choose.

Taites currently rolling average is around 5.88! With regards to the Fords I don’t think they will ‘dip in their pockets’ easy option would be to keep Tobias which wouldn’t be a good move.

Didn’t Workington flourish at NDL level only in 2023? It’s since they moved up that it’s been a problem.

If this is true, then Workington won’t have a speedway team at any level for much longer. Apart from the usual die hard like myself, a lot of people wouldn’t watch national league racing.

Tate Z would be 1 point to high on points available if it is Lawson/Rowe/Zach Cook/Cairns/Bailey (4) and Rushden. I calculate 5.88 left. If that's the case cant see anything that excites at that kind of level based on latest GSA's. Glasgow have shown there are exciting Overseas youngsters out there on a 5 and Nagel has shown that and could well be their title winner. It's whether the Ford's want to dip in their pockets to help finance one of the many good ones who would be interested.

Edwards very good guest for Glasgow , fitness of Vinnie is still to be decided. Makes Glasgow a bit stronger in my view , going to be tough for the Comet's, we need our gating gloves on and to be on it from the start , the part few weeks the Comets have been slow to get dialled in to the track .

That will never happen!

Is it not possible that the riders simply want to do their best in every race they're in? Out of respect for the fans / to increase earnings etc.

What is the Championship position regarding Play offs.On the Website it states PREMIERSHIP Plays are 1st v4th. But on Championship it does not say anything regarding who will race who .Do we assume it applies too both Leagues.

Explanation to PHB's exclusion. He was from heat 10,, wanted to discussion it with the referee which the referee declinened. PHB then became very angry yelling, throwing helmets around. https://speedwayfans.se/markliga-scener-i-avesta-hellstrom-bangs-avvisades-fran-arenan/

Today is the 60th anniversary of the most insane conversation I have ever had with a speedway rider! I was at the Rye House Select v. Poole match (22 August 1965) and spent some time in the pits talking to the one-and-only Tyburn Gallows. He was as mad as the proverbial box of frogs. I just wish I had written down the conversation at the time as I can’t remember the detail now, only that it was the most insane conversation ever! This, of course fitted in with Tyburn’s known personality. His real name was Raymond Humphries. He was said to have been an assistant hangman. At least he said he was! In his early riding days he wore a CND body colour. The Control Board banned him from using the name Tyburn Gallows and from wearing the CND emblem. For a while he used the name Tyburn Humphreys and then changed his name by deed-poll to Tyburn Gallows so the Control Board couldn't stop him using it. His death fitted in with his life as it occurred on the day of his mother’s funeral. He came home, sat in a chair and then just died for no discernible reason. Incidentally, in the match itself, he scored a paid reserves’ maximum, 5+1. Just wondering if anyone else ever spoke to him and what the conversation was like.

Highly unlikely Workington will have a team at championship level, so he will be available imo.

Living rent free in his head 🤣

Where ya pulled signing Tate from 😂
