Was interesting to hear Bewley on TNT publicly say how much he enjoys riding Foxhall despite not doing particularly well here. He’s said the same over the tannoy at Foxhall in the past, but I just put that down to the fact he was being interviewed in front of a big Ipswich crowd and saying all the right things. He’ll soon be hitting the big scores here when he rides it most weeks next year. 😁

It all depends how you restructure that team, Zischke for one wouldnt be considered at all, pre season everyone was saying KL were the dark horses, only our top two got us over the line in a last heat decider at home, at one point they could even have caught us, theres no doubt injuries disrupted their season, we only finished a couple of wins above them in the final table, it certainly wasnt beyond the realms of possibility. We never looked like a play off winning team without making changes. Its all about opinions.

He also said the weather forecast they had said rain from 5pm, which would mean they looked at the met office one? As that was the only one that had rain that early.

Redcar fans must be out of order if he has broken his 'i don't post or read anything on SM' stance. Deluded. If we wanted the second leg we would have had it. If we wanted second leg we would have had it. Also there is no point having second leg in SF, yes in the final. But 1st leg is better in SF.

Using dynamic pricing it woukd go down - so don't expect British Speedway to use that.

Obviously the standard in Germany and longtrack u23 is very poor, maybe you should have kept Vuolas.

And loads are called off because of a bad forecast. If Poole wanted the second leg why arrange to have the first leg.

What i mean is calling a meeting off just because it " might " rain later on in the late evening. Quite obvious Poole wanted the second leg at home to see what they needed to score, Redcar should apply the same as i sure they would prefer the second leg. Very silly comment to say as far as your aware! Loads of meetings are called off per season but just seemed too coincidental that Poole was a preempted .

Dont see why Nick Morris wouldnt be available whenever they want him to guest.

one is German champion, one is last years under 23 world long track champion, and one is errrrr Australian, its amazing what useless people can do these days. 🤣

Mind games..

Maybe Bears 'fans' should read Gavin Parr's comments on FB agreeing with the decision to call it off early. It saved the cost of an overnight hotel for the team south of Oxford which he was able to cancel as riders hadn't started to travel!!

I heard the rain is going to make the track Gnarly 😉

Link for today’s 2nd round- start time 3pm UK time

Some absolutely crazy comments on here. Fact is Danny is not overly bothered about having the 2nd leg. Everything was in place to run yesterday, BSN had set off and were well on their way when things all went on hold. Forecasts weren't good so decision was made. This decision had to be made before midday otherwise costs soar. Having witnessed the rain we did have, maybe the meeting could have been finished before the heavens opened.

What about when there's clearly no demand? Put the prices up 😂

It's common practice in other sports to charge different prices for different grade matches- speedway is probably slow on the uptake! And that's without the model of 'dynamic pricing' where ticket prices vary for the same sections based on demand. I'm not saying I agree with it, but I doubt that is the reason people are drifting away. Perceived value for money is a much bigger issue.

I don't think the ever did, wasn't it down to Martin Hunter and Ben Duffil approaching them with the idea instead of the other way around?

That makes no sense, why even offer to host the match if they wanted the 2nd leg at home (as is their right)? What would they have done of the weather was perfect.

Redcar will be using a guest all season, one week shouldn't make much difference to their team.

Lidsey? Hes the highest averaged 3rd heat leader in the league.

The unnecessary price increase highlight's how detached from a professional business acumen these people are. Speedway is done and dusted in this country. R.I.P. BRITISH SPEEDWAY.

Incorrect.

Correct.

Always good for a laugh the "SCB" you could not make it up , they were incompetent when I attended speedway and haven't improved. Their grammatically incorrect statement shows the completely amateur disorganised shower that are allegedly controlling the sport. "The SCB Referee at the Kent fixture had been informed that Mr Foord was unavailable for this fixture and having consulted the SCB had at that time had correctly allowed a facility, however on further investigation this should not have been authorised and the score of the guest for Cooper Rushen will be deleted from the meeting result." So referee consulted the SCB and they had allowed the facility. (they repeated HAD twice for avoidance of doubt !) "on further investigation" they changed their mind ! you cannot do that !!! amateur hour !!! the score of the guest for Cooper Rushen ???? what ???? I thought Cooper Rushen was THE guest rider ??
