Anyone have any figures on the crowd? Looked huge on BSN and from photos I’ve seen. When a crowd is that big, I’d have the number plastered all over the place! Well done to Berwick! Thought it would be a lot closer than that. Just hope Plymouth’s crowd in a couple of weeks isn’t put off because of it

“The ball is in Belle Vues court”. Coleman wanted, and Wants a GP at Belle Vue. He hasn’t taken it away from there and given it to Ipswich instead. Edit: And what’s wrong with Glasgow? I’ll admit I haven’t seen anything from there myself, but all the reports I read suggest it’s far from boring. They seem to get some good racing there generally.

Colder fuel will burn more efficentely. Fuel used must be at ambient temp.

As someone who just wants to see an entertaining meeting, I can't help but be disappointed at Ipswich replacing Belle Vue. Hopefully the track work will make a big improvement but maybe waiting a year to make sure that all went smoothly might have been better.

Think you might be underestimating how much people love the coin more 😉

One thing Tatum and his sidekick overlooked (perhaps not surprisingly) is that last night was probably Freddie Lindgren's last ever GP. With Kim Nilsson in next year and no round scheduled for Sweden, little chance of Freddie getting picked.

Lindgren? If he wants one, he should be in. He'd have been comfortably top 6-8 if he'd been fully fit all season, and is still entertaining.

Think you might be underestimating how much Cooper loves KL.

None of them live together, but all three live in the town. Rumours would have it a 4th local rider has signed too…

Neutral supporters always want a close result in the first leg, similar to BSN final as sets up second leg perfectly. Hope it doesn't affect Plymouth's crowd size too much. Though with it being final meeting, might be okay.

What is the advantage of frozen methanol and is it banned?

The top 7 are now decided and you can add Tungate Nillson Woryna and Lebedevs from the qualifier. Add Holder and Bewley leaves 2 places. The SEC winner is likely to be already qualified but there’s no entitlement for anyone rose from SEC to get a place so that leaves 2 picks. Not the Russians because of continuing contract terms so who else is worthy? Anders Thomsen maybe?

Bewley for sure, he showed last night that even when not 100% he can win races. Sadly you have to assume Monster riders will get a pick, even if they have not done enough. I am still not over the fact these people gave Woffinden a wildcard after his serious injury and relatively poor form for the previous two GP seasons, ruining the opportunity for another rider, perhaps a rider with a long term future in the sport.

Belle Vue should have both British rounds. Ipswich should be nowhere near a grand prix roster and certainly boring Glasgow shouldn't have a hope.

Would it have hurt you to congratulate Berwick on their win or are you still grumpy because the Bandits defeated the Pirates on the way to the final ?

That was my guess, all three of them live together so it makes sense

Not meaningless if your a Bandits supporter,still have it to do.Anything can happen in Speedway.Bandits are certainly in a strong position though.King and Nichols were hugely disappointing considering there previous form around Shielfield where they we practically unbeatable.

This result was always likely to happen. Put a small track team with ageing riders against a big track team dialled in and it was pretty obvious what would be the likely outcome. King Barker and Nicholls are closer to their pensions than the start of their career in speedway. Reserves never stood much of a sniff against Battye who is dialled in like a heat leader. A shame the gap is that wide as it’s now a foregone conclusion and makes the second leg meaningless.

Doesn't Robert have a Polish wife ? Why should she live in the UK, or do you expect them to live in different countries?

I don't think there was one Eastbourne rider I didn't like or had respect for when they returned.

Sure I seen somewhere Jye was coming back

Witches chairman Richard Coleman can’t wait to see the icons of the sport testing themselves on the tight and technical Foxhall track. He said: “This is a truly special moment in the history of this club as Foxhall Stadium joins the Speedway GP calendar alongside legendary venues like our sister club Wroclaw, Torun, Prague’s Marketa Stadium, Vojens Speedway Center and, of course, Warsaw’s iconic PGE Narodowy. https://ipswichwitches.co/ipswich-debuts-on-fim-speedway-world-championships-calendar-in-2027/

won a round of the junior championship at Northside too Big well done to Lambert the in form rider in the world

It’s time for zmarzlik to move to ashtek engines, his engines have looked underpowered for a few meetings now, even when winning last night he was riding the slick parts of the track, trying to make long straights to get up speed, it must be on his mind, lamberts Toruń knowledge showed last night with a couple of his moves but even then he looked a class above anyone else and is a deserved world champion, Kurtz was as fast as ever but seem to relying on the dirt line too much which by the 3/4 races in each block had disappeared, I still can’t believe woryna got excluded for causing lindgren to crash, it was one race I actually filmed and even watching it back lindgren just runs into him and falls but all in all a great nights entertainment, oh and just one other thing, I say this as a proud Brit we need to change our national anthem, it’s dull and sounds like there is someone with a handle winding it up to speed and as for the subject matter well that’s another story, times have changed the country has changed its time for a rethink

He said Sister company, he doesn't Own Wroclaw so they are not a sister company Mayfield have different parts to their own company, one part owns Ipswich where Wroclaw have invested in that business not Mayfield overall
