Matters little now, almost certainly going to finish Ipswich top, Sheffield second so this result it’s pretty irrelevant. Order of the day will be to make sure nobody does anything silly with the play offs less than a fortnight away..

How old is Edwards? Is he still usable next season if they carry on with RS riders

Going to watch this,, all I hope is ipswich can manage to keep it close ish,,, but that would mean Doyle getting his act together,, and a few of the others being a little braver than normal

Pirates ☠️ to win 52-38 and they will go through over the 2 legs now that all are fully on it at the business end of the season. Watch Tobias kick ass tonight, he'll av Bomber in his back pocket in heat 1 ! C'mon the Boyzzz ☠️

is the weather holding out

Agreed top 5 will have to be on there game the biggest test yet at home,I feel we will need to hit 50 to have a good chance of going through.

Oddly enough the fall of the Berlin Wall opened up eastern Europe like never before and the rest is hisotry! You are right in so many ways in the late 90s and very early 90s the UK scene still was the top place to be now we are just the poor relations.

In the league match poole reserves paid 15,glasgiw counterparts 1pt,(3rd place in heat 2)barring efs,dnfs etc could be same tonight, top five will have to be in great form

We find that as well especially with there being so many English refs

There's another problem, uncle Jim is no longer a referee

Any room on the Apex Motorcross facility by M5 J6?

I like the idea of a "Super League", with maybe five rider teams? Could Glasgow and Poole be tempted to go into it? Them plus the current six would mean just 40 riders of say four point and above averages... Home and Away once, with top four play offs, and play downs if other clubs want to join the year after... Franchise Speedway, keep your spot or lose it... You can then run the same teams in a hybrid Championship/NDL level with the top riders missing... The big league, home and away once, and top six into the play offs, given the number of teams to keep the league interesting... 3rd v 6th, and 4th v 5th to qualify to the last four... First and Second then pick their opponents in order.. And then one "Super League" that you sell to the TV companies... (With no F***ing Guests in the Super League!.. Twenty quid for Super League, fifteen quid for the hybrid one....

Christina Turnbull from Glasgow

Who is the ref.

Wot u on about? It's Turnbulls*it! 😄

Only problem is uncle Jim does not like Glasgow, it's Edinburgh he favours, but hopefully he's been told to watch out for loose elastic on the starting gate 😁

now come off it its never been known uncle jim has never been biased towards Edinburgh

From some well connected Tigger fans a few weeks ago, marra 😄

Could be some bias refereeing decisions tonight as there is a Scottish ref! 🫣

wont be Luke under those terms

ill be there for that meeting, no Kerr !

That's a good question. No supply but plenty of rider demand if new tracks did appear (and doubling up would probably prosper). There are training tracks ongoing I believe. So maybe a couple of years as now until expansions? I just think that 6 and 7 team leagues are not exciting the evermore dwindling support. And while I confess to not helping any positive outcome I like to post here to see if anyone can help the dying sport. So in my early years of becoming a speedway fan, 1970 and the rest of that decade, how was it that new tracks were sprouting like mushrooms and doubling up was not a feature. Yes guests and rider replacement for injury cover. So how did all the 'mushrooms' manage 7 riders - granted some were as wooffy would say "wobblers" but certainly in Division 2 they were mostly acceptable. Ian Thomas used to advertise someone in a Comets squad as 'the king of crash' - I'll not name him but the crowd eventually got fed up of his poor returns. Yet all of this kept us talking speedway, it was thrills, spills, and excitement.

I've had me a pre meeting flat white and sum toast but only with butter. Jam gives me wind!

Taken from the Comets website: Denham shares some details on a extra meeting to add to the diary in September: “We are going to run a meeting in the memory of Jay Cartmell. Jay’s mum and dad Leigha and James have done a great job so far of organising it – we just have few things to put in place before we confirm any details. So far it looks a cracking lineup and it will be a four-team tournament style, something which we don’t see anymore in speedway. It’s a really good cause for the fans to get behind and hopefully it will be an entertaining meeting with a good crowd.” “We should be a position to announce more details next Sunday at home to Berwick but if anyone wants to help out with the meeting, as there is a few costs associated with running it, then please get in touch with either the club or get in touch with Leigha or James.” There's a post on the Comets Facebook Page that enables you to message Leigha Cartmell.
