Does British speedway not have priority over Swedish speedway on a Monday/Thursday?

Sorting the fixture List is a priority.Then again it is set around riders dictating their availability.So it is big problem.

Poole are the only team trying to get the fixtures sorted. That's why they are mostly 1st legs. We don't mind lifting trophies at away matches. Why do we have to wait to play Oxford, yes a riders ban will be finished.

Belle Vue can sort their fixtures in time for the play offs and we have a busier schedule than most. The desire needs to be there. I did mention at the start of the season that Belle Vue are always the first to get to 75% of fixtures thus reducing our window for potential injury replacements. Any club that cannot fulfill its fixtures in an appropriate manner a week or two before the play offs needs to give their head a wobble. Guests have always been around but not with the regularity of these days. In the most famous KO Cup final which we won after THAT run off, we had Jim McMillan guest for Chris Pusey. Guests can no longer be described as a necessary evil as there was a perfectly fine rule in place in 2022 whereby you could quite rightly replace an injured rider at any point of the season. This rule was dropped in favour of guests (or the less than effective RR). This guest move has been actively applauded by many on here following the 2022 season when the rule was correctly applied to both Peterborough & Belle Vue. Never been a fan of the play offs and I’m still yet to see the full 30 heats of any since its introduction, such is my apathy towards them.

I didn't say there was "no chance." I said it was "very unlikely." There's a difference.

I have never been in favour of the playoffs...

For that to have been a possibility then Tigers will need to have finished 2nd (at least) in the regular season whereas there is a favorable chance they will finish third behind Leicester. whatever the case, I presume you are thinking play offs should be scrapped in favour of the team who finished top of the league at the end of the regular season, risk being declared champions by losing in a one off tie (over two legs) v the team who finished second?

I'll put this here as this is being discussed admittedly over Jason but.... H

Top seven qualify , all the rest have to go to challenge or challenge qualifier ….that could mix it up

if Sheffield are missing Jack Holder through injury then Sheffield have a guest up to his average … why is that an issue

The Northampton stadium looks a nice stadium, they have made several improvements. I get updates on Facebook. Of course, it's a stock car and banger track and would probably need extra rider protection, as they have put in place at Mildenhall.

Find a way for clubs to have a home fixture every week or even fortnightly instead of going weeks & sometimes months without a home race night. Having no home fixtures when the football season has finished combined with the school holidays & summer months of June & July is madness. i bet this year we run into October yet again when it’s not very spectator friendly.

I feel it’s more devalued when a team bring in a top rider like let’s say Robert Lambert who openly criticises British speedway , for a few end of season meetings to win a league….. injuries happen and that’s what guests are for

It appears that Jason Doyle has joined Krosno for 2026 on a 2 year contract.

I tend to agree although I'm not a fan of either I believe Doyle should get one more W/C

Not sure what the Swede’s and Premier Sport are doing tonight- showing a repeat of Vastervik v Dackarna on schedule- surely the obvious thing is to switch to the Smederna v Lejonen match- Dave any thoughts ??

Agree we usually have better crowds when Edinbrugh , Redcar and Glasgow are the opposition those teams tend to bring plenty of supporters .

What a meeting Thursday could have been, a fifteen heat shootout for the league title. Instead, we go into play-offs that could see a team that finished mid-table, win the title...

New date Monday September 8th at 6pm UK time

Im not arguing the fact but it was taken seriously by the mainstream media during the golden eras, becoming the number two spectator sport, nowadays it has become a big issue with the fanbase, i agree its not ideal, perhaps your suggestion would be better. Wasnt it last season when a play off meeting was getting pelters in Poland for a woefully understrength side being put out do to injuries? I dont really follow the sport over there but im sure there was some mention of it.

Just giving other clubs chance of lifting a trophy when they host a 2nd leg at home 🙃
