Thinking about this, surely Foord was withholding services which would mean Kent could have a guest.

Northampton and wider Northamptonshire like Kettering,Corby,Wellingborough have huge Eastern European populations so the hope may be to have a couple of Polish riders in the home team will encourage them to travel

Or maybe the 'Play Off' System has had it's day. Perhaps people are realising that when you win the League, and your reward is sod all - it's not worth the candle. Back in the 60's, 70's etc. The League Champions won the League, and didn't have to win it twice. While I am on, why not get rid of the Grand Prix Series too. How exactly does that benefit British Speedway As far as I can see, it is a hindrance, For example, last night both Dan Bewley and Brady Kurtz had a potential World Championship to win or to get a medal. Why would they put themselves at risk of serious injury just TWO days before an Event like this, I for one, do not blame them at all, especially on a Track in the dreadful state that Foxhall was in last night? Go back to the World Final - one Meeting. It was good enough for Mauger, Peter Collins Olsen, Petersen etc. It would reduce the costs for riders. It would also bring back the thrill of everything depending on one race.

Northampton best chance would be to run Sunday afternoons in the national league, allowing people to travel.

A "cheat code" at reserve for the play offs... I still rank him in the top five GB riders when fully fit...

And Bankrupt more Clubs🤔and most of the diehards are dying off. I for one would like to see the Accounts of Gp Clubs,can’t imagine what they would look like. There’s next season’s restructuring to look forward too though.🧑🏼‍🦯🤔

Sorry yes just the practice read the txt wrong from Villads

I agree, however... Getting them to ride over here will bring the thousands of fans back that have deserted the tracks over the past decade or so....

Counter argument London has nigh on 9 million population and not a single track.

And a credit to you. He spoke very well when interviewed.

All fair point but the 5,500 at Belle Vue is another sign of how far we have fallen granted at a push you could maybe get 20-25k at a British GP if such a venue existed it just doesn't seem that long ago when crowds of high 40's were at Bradford and Cardiff early days.

As I said I would I took notice of the amount of team clothing worn by fans last night, we parked the car right near turnstiles and the que ‘s were fairly big, I would say probably 3% had Ipswich branding and about 2% of that was clothing from the 1990s-2000s, quite a few of the old Wulfsport jackets, not many modern team shirts on show, it was cold and people had jackets on so that could of factored in to it, also I know it’s the case in most British speedway but Ipswich crowd seems to be 50+ age bracket and I don’t think I’ve seen so many dogs at a speedway meeting (except in the bar at hull years back)😉

They will say that they never change their team mid season in their holier than though way, Belle Vue always do it the right way even if it costs them any chance of success.

Can't really compare to stock cars because those drivers actually pay to enter meetings, which changes the balance of income/expenditure for the promoters.

It will be restaged .(if cancelled tonight)

Emil has never been a good gater so he was never going to go well in those conditions, Bewley likewise hence why I'm backing Dan up. Kurtz is a known gater who just couldn't be asked to try, That's the difference between the three.

Good to see Adam riding so well.

Rain in vojens, whoever could of predicted that

fairplay to the Ipswich promotion.

If the points were adjusted for each race Rushen was in, it would change the score to a narrow Birmingham victory. Simply deducting his points maintain the Kent win and this twangs my accuracy string.

What's wrong with paid 9 from 4 rides? Whole lot of difference from shutting the throttle off and not attempting to mix it.

Just the quali at the moment to protect the track surface, actual meeting still going ahead later today.

“These fixtures are only qualifiers we’ll be there when it really matters” ”Let’s wait until September” Well Belle Vue stank in the “qualifiers”, and then they stank in the play offs too. Who’d have thunk it! Where is Acebelle and Ouch by the way? They seemed to have disappeared..

Lads earning £500k + should just in Poland and not ride over for their “ pocket money .

Will it be restaged. Really hope not as another Friday becomes unusable.
