I understand the reasoning was that the guest regulation states the rider must have previously achieved an official CMA and that because that was the case despite Lamberts average being considered assessed he was allowed to guest!! Until there is no possibility of a different answer depending on who is asking and when the sham will continue....

After last night the only riders worth watching were Doyle and Emil, the others were shocking! I want to watch the best riders compete, not a bunch of juniors. If that's your thing, go watch NDL. You say you are fed up of watching the same riders week in and week out but that's the same for Ekstraliga. We only run more fixtures to get more money into the clubs, if you don't want to watch the round 2 of matches then don't, nobody is forcing you. Again, nothing to do with Polish clubs letting riders come to Britain, its due to costs for expenses, having bikes here and mechanics and wanting big money plus the headache of Visas because we left EU making everything in life harder now.

Should be a cracking meeting, as the weather has to clear up and should be fairly warm. With RR, it means everyone can potentially cover Dan's rides and hopefully Tate goes well for us at no.4. Tate scored 7+1 from 5 rides at no.2 last year and I'd take more of the same tonight please.

Dan Thompson injured and not riding for Glasgow tonight.

It is time for one league. One of the reasons why I've only been to my club Leicester once this season is down to the lack of variety, it's the same riders every other week. There is zero incentive for me to watch Ipswich one week when I know in a few weeks time we could be facing them in the KO cup or the play offs. People will say there isn't enough riders and that's it, but is that my problem to fix? No it isn't. I don't go to watch speedway for GP stars, I go for the speedway. I love watching Fricke every week at Leicester, but I also loved watched the Thompson twins come through the ranks taking on the senior pros. That was just as exciting for me as watching a GP star. Let's be honest we only have a few GP stars anyways? Were missing Lambert, Bartosz, Laguta, Lingren etc. We only have the riders that are allowed here by there polish clubs lets be honest. They just come here for fun some would say. Let's not forget how expensive they are as well. Costing thousands every week! We can manage one big league, how? Maybe look at what some of championship clubs have done this season, some brand new riders to the league and promoting the youth from the NDL. It would lower the standard but I don't care, let's back the kids and give them plenty of riders and pay them a reasonable wage so riders like Sonny Springer can get back into speedway.

The weird thing is that Robert was riding on an assessed* average so he needed to complete 3+3, which he didn’t do for either Belle Vue or Kings Lynn so he remains on his old average. The problem is when Sheffield wanted to use him as a guest I informed them (BSPL) that he couldn’t due to being assessed* but they said he’s not (all of a sudden, brown envelopes at the ready) but they never treated his average as such ie rolling. When you weave a tangled web it is very easy to trip yourself up, best to just stick to the rules. Second year running that Bates tried to circumvent the rule book at play off time and for the latter he was successful.

No if anything I think he got a nudge from Doyle. Agreed first bend bunching so should have been all 4 back.

surprised not a thread for this yet. Redcar “Agilia” Bears 1 – Charles Wright (c) 8.80 2 – Jake Mulford 4.87 3 – Jason Edwards 6.23 4 – Jye Etheridge (G) 7.17 5- Danny King 8.47 6- Jody Scott 2.00 7- Ace Pijper 3.21 ™: Gavin Parr

Scorpions must be fancying there chances with our best rider missing

Big congratulations to the Stars on reaching the KO cup final - and I bet the look on Hawkins face was worth admission fee alone

Like it was when we called off Scunny meeting. The forecast on the Friday was awful but come Saturday sun shone all day with rain appearing at 8-15pm

If Tom & Adam ride like they did last night, Leon is going to be busy!

Rider replacement for Antti on Saturday .

agreed. i will be surprised given the met office forecast if the meeting goes ahead, but its a forecast and these things can be wrong.

As Plymouth is already in the general vicinity being at Edinburgh today. I guess it gives the Berwick promotion the option to see if the forecast changes. But I’d be very surprised if the meeting happens.

Yes, but it's a secret

Damian Ratajczak has left Leszno and signed with Zielona Gora for 3 years.( riding on loan there in 2025).

Dick knows though.

Not a problem with Atmosphere- that’s not created with Flares and explosions !!

One thing would be guaranteed IF it was Chris Louis involved and that is it would be done correctly.....

forecast is looking very bleak

You assume the track owner /landlord wants speedway or has enough days on his planning permission. Also most bangers racing is run with steel armour type fences which have to be covered with airfences and on the straight wooden fences. You then need a full time track staff to do this this work or volunteers, which I think has been covered extensively elsewhere on this forum.

Wrong person answer 😂😂😂

No apology required - I wasn't there either!

I suppose you could the same for all promoters as speedway today is a failing business model, i wonder how much Tolley lost investing in Birmingham? Whatever they come up with next season will be interesting as i can still see self interest prevailing.
