That should be enough for Gorzow to triumph at home with an aggregate win. Poznan juniors did great in this match at home but wont do as well away especially with Bednar back in the mix. I expect its been raised before but hard to understand the Polish system not allowing guest riders to cover injuries. It's big business, big money, and even when the club has done everything possible to secure a competitive team their future is still at the mercy of injuries and rider unavailability.

Marek Cieslak has claimed that Torun doctored the track for Robert Lambert. There was virtually no overtaking in the latter part of yesterday's meeting and Cieslak claims this was done intentionally by Torun as this suited Lambert.

Bewley holder will definitely be picked Would not be surprised if Lindgren gets a pick .He s always raised his game when it s come to the gps and I think he s still can mix it at this level . Thomson has won a gp so would imagine that will stand him in good stead Michielsen could be in with a shout Kvech i personally he s below the standard of the above riders but they could throw him back in Will be interesting who gets the picks

Think this will be totally one sided Scunthorpe will do no way near enough in the home leg if they actually win it. Second leg a formality.

No idea what Thomsen was bleating about after heat 10, Pludra did nothing wrong.

Think you make a good point about the change in order as I agree 3&4 partnership is vulnerable a more balanced look would be 1 Cook,2 Rushen,3 Kerr,4 Cairns,5 Lawson. think that looks solid in every partnership,and have felt for a while now the 3&4 partnership has caused a little in balance imo.

Congratulations to personal responsibility and thanks to r/r for running the competition Being a tight Yorkshireman I am happy to make it to the end and be £200 up😆

Lose not loose

As much as it would be a lose to King's Lynn, if we can't put a super team together for 27, I want to see Cooper at Belle Vue. Develop the gating and super high speeds required for Poland. With Lambert now just reaching the pinnacle of the sport I'd like to see Cooper make moves now. A repeat of the past few seasons at King's Lynn, his career will be stunted if sticks around at King's Lynn. Same for Jody too. King's Lynn has become rather suffocating for all rider's. In 2027, this club (with the riders potentially available) need to take a risk and be "ALL IN".

Also you have to remember that Poland have stated that riders riding in the Polish League can only ride in one other league. Danes have to ride in the Danish League, so as things stand most of those Dane's you have used will not be riding in the UK. So you can rule out the following from your lists. Ipswich: Fredrik Jacobsen, Mikkel Andersen Sheffield: Jonas Jeppesen and Vllads Nagel Kings Lynn; Ben Basso Northampton: Niels Kristian Iversen

🫣 is it not better than what you have now lol

Thanks for giving King's Lynn the worst possible septet possible 🤣 Cheers mate 👍🏻

You mean rooting for, or do you mean selecting the best path for network traffic? Of course no one would expect anything other than fans from other club supporting the underdog. I doubt there’s many speedway fans out there who are not Poole fans, wanting us to win. Will it have any effect on the outcome?

October 1st means change of riding order for Pirates. Zach Cook goes to number one for the first time, meaning Richard Lawson probably goes to the number 5 berth. Will Middlo shake things up or leave Will Cairns at number 2 and Cooper Rushen at 4? The Kerr/Rushen partnership is our weakest pairing. Too late to make a change and split them up? Probably. Scunthorpe are no pushovers on their track. Riders that don’t travel well can beat heat leaders as they are so dialled in. Ingram at reserve is a real force around the Eddie Wright Raceway, as is young Harrison. The good news for Poole is that Ablitt returns to reserve with Mountain heading back into the team. However, the Ablitt/Ingram partnership at home is still a force to be reckoned with. Palm Toft has picked up his form in recent weeks. Hook has come back from an injury so might be a weak link. I should imagine Middlo will be heading up to Scunthorpe and will share the team managers berth with Havvy. The riders will be in no doubt what is expected of them. Keep it close, no throwing away silly points. Looking forward to heading up for this one.

That's only a couple of thousand, many more will be routing for scunny

If its true that they are looking to increase the points limit All clubs must run an U21 British Rider at reserve All clubs must also run a Foreign U21 Rider at reserve If they can get the ITV4 deal over the line which sounds like the more lucrative deal being worked on Perhaps that's enough for the likes of Glasgow to give the top flight a chance, and I think if the TV deal goes through, you may see Oxford move up again but obviously not do the Championship aswell this time around. Could see the following strength sides, put together for example purposes

Its great to see the three unfancied teams (Scunthorpe, Berwick and Plymouth in the finals for a change). Will probably favour Poole in the final as still a fan of the team finishing top being champions.

In an interview Coleman has said because of the location at Ipswich there is room to create a festival type event,at last someone gets what the British GP should be, maybe someone has listened to me at last 😜 If anyone has ever been to the Weston super mare beach race weekend that’s what the British speedway GP should be like

I should imagine all Poole fans will not be willing Scunthorpe on.

You sure about that

The rights holders make their money by charging the tracks a hosting fee.. I saw the list once a few years ago and it did change from venue to venue, but all were six figures... Cardiff was ran by the series owners themselves as it was the biggest money earner at that time.. It also has been said that temporary seating works out roughly at £1k per seat, which therefore can be very expensive to install...

They needed to call it The National Speedway Stadium to get the project over the line with Manchester Council. I was present at the meeting when the request was made by David and Chris. I never had a vote at this time and from what I recall it never went to a vote, the consensus was that it was in the best interests of the sport (leave it lol) to agree to the request. I suppose you could say Wembley is the home of the England team but they do play the odd match at different stadiums in England on occasion, and u21/u19 sides rarely play at Wembley. I don’t see much difference with the GP at Ipswich rather than Belle Vue, but I take your point about it.

The whole country willing Scunthorpe on to beat Poole

I think the GP organisers expect the host club to pay a really sizeable sum just for the privalige of hosting, that would be in those costs. With a maximum of 6k fans at the NSS this makes it hardly worth it financially. There should be more opportunity at Ipswich.

Final is live on Polish TV TVP Sport start time 4pm UK time. English commentary available on PPV from Tapes up TV. https://www.tapesup.tv/fixtures/upcoming
