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. 😅

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 wasn’t up to much! don’t 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..?..

They will have crops in come August!! 🙃

Was he wearing a top hat with a rabbit underneath?🤣

Can't see Scunny getting anywhere near winning on aggregate. If they have a good night they might win the home leg but they will get hammered at Poole.

Plenty of fields in the middle of nowhere next to the Ipswich track 😜

Maitland travel already advertising a trip down under seen on Facebook, no doubt travel plus will be doing the same

They've streamed virtually every meeting in recent years, why not this one I wonder? Very disappointing.

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. 😉

Big congrats to winner, well deserved it was a no contest from 1/2 way😂😂 Thanks to R&R for running it again,look forward too next season.👍

Throw in a new Meeting Presenter might have also helped.🤔😂

Mario is not by a worst signing in recent years (Ivacic was a shocker), but there is zero chance Mario comes back next year.

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 “we only have to turn up to claim our prize”. 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?

If terms and conditions are right.But Rowe rides in Poland so weekend Clubs might not suit compared to Oxford (Wed).Certainly goes well at Ashfield.

It'll be the FREE CAR PARK that would have swung it !! 😜😂

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

I feel vindicated now - when he rode for Newcastle at Sheffield in about 2015 or 16 - he rode well but failed to beat Garrity who scored a max that night how there careers have diverged! I don’t think the locals i spoke with agreed with me that Lambert would be the better! congrats anyway - a British WC has to be celebrated - sadly both our last two haven’t always been entirely 💯 committed to the UK scene which maybe has a message for us all!

Anders Rowe is southern England (Swindon I believe) based. Would he want to travel 750 miles round trip every week for his home matches?

Great riders attacking tracks make good meetings - If Doyle were in the GP next year I can think of one rider who would really be entertaining sadly him and another master of Foxhall Emil probably won’t be in the series! I live in Sheffield I couldn’t be bothered to go to GP rounds as I felt they were over priced and the thought of parking etc at BV was a nightmare. Foxhall won’t be easy either so I hope they sort that out!

As a neutral I don’t give two tosses who wins the cup. I wanted an 8-10 point Berwick win to set it up nicely for the second leg. The fact that the meeting was poor entertainment with a drag race to the first bend made for finger in the fast forward button. For neutrals it doesn’t float our boats. As for the crowd it was good to see a decent crowd at Berwick. Must have been a thousand there at least.

Certainly the biggest crowd for many years ,possibly since GP challenge with Zmarslik.Dont think Promotion will publish any figures though😂
