If it's not being shown on TV is there any reason why both semi finals can't be on the same day? Allow both clubs to choose a Monday or a Thursday for their home leg? Any reason why after finishing top not to allow Belle Vue to race away on Thursday 24th & home on Monday 28th? Could even run 2nd vs 3rd on Thursday 17th as Lynn are fighting for 4th place?

Normally a mixture of paying at the gate and tickets for me. Just tried last night and this morning and not showing. Tried just now and it seems to be showing now.

Clubs often offer a free programme to season ticket holders in situations like these.

I just normally pay at the gate, be there early if you want a programme ran out last week about 6 45

The failure to reach the top four wont be because of last night, its the three home defeats and the loss and Northampton. Fricke has regressed, Kvech & Cook havent kicked on and they made a dog's breakfast of the Castagna/Jenkins spot. All a bit of an underwhelming mess unfortunately. Cooper and Jody have been the bright spot.

Was going to try and book tickets last night for the Redcar meeting and it says no events currently listed. Anyone else having any bother?

The stars look very strong on paper, the likes of Ben Cook under perform in the UK, Fricke is nowhere near as dominant, especially at home as he was for Leicester. I guess you could say the same for the Czech kid, he could potentially do better, and of course Bomber is Bomber. Kings Lynn aren't the only team to suffer these under achieving teams though, its happened to Ipswich often. I don't really think speedway team managers have the ability to improve performances to the extent required though, yes they can motivate certain riders, but if they can't be arsed in the UK, why bother with them in the first place?...The likes of Zagar and co are proof of that....Easy money springs to mind.

Lynn not for the first time have a side that looks great on paper but falls short. Is Lyon a good a manager as what people say? Lets be honest, he done well with them in the old Premier League but some of the teams built it would of been hard not to do well they were that strong. Since rejoining the top division, they have been nearer the bottom than the top most of the time and mainly under Lyon's management. The sad thing is the stadium, from what I remember, was more than decent for a speedway stadium, good fanbase and large crowds. With the right management it should be a thriving club.

People need to drop the idea of hosting any important meeting at Belle Vue. I have seen people suggesting every important meeting in the British calendar should be held there. The crowds for second tier pairs, fours or riders championships there would be rubbish.

Stewart Dickson confirmed at Leicester on Thursday on the microphone before the match that it will be 1st vs 4th on first 21st then 2nd vs 3rd on 24th and same way round the following week. All should be confirmed early next week ( Think he meant Thursday) Unless any last minute deals done very unlikely though, play offs will be on BSN not on mainstream TV which is disappointing and Leicester are looking at best guest options but complicated due to outstanding matches (Before tonight’s meetings ) as some riders averages may change which would rule them out of guesting on play offs for Leicester

Here we are again year in, year out, and the fingers firmly pointing at the wrong people. Not a single rider can be or should be blamed. They do not pick themselves. This is all on the management 100%. They sign them, choose riding order, refuse to sack them when it's deserving. King's Lynn is a pocket money holiday club for rider's that can earn without consequences & become more attractive to better clubs in 2027. Any rider with any standards is only picking King's Lynn when nothing else is available.

Mathematically no, realistically, it was done weeks ago. Ipswich have Sheffield (h), Belle Vue (h) Leicester (a). That could easily be 0pts. King's Lynn have Leicester (h), Northampton (a). That should be 3pts at Northampton but it absolutely won't be. The bonus points could be huge in the run to 4th place.

Is that it for Stars PO chances?

But you forgot that could be another nites accommodation to stay over for a meeting on Sunday more expense over what is not a cheap few nites away,after a weekend in Manchester or people need to get home for work / school on Monday

His total loss of form is a strange one.🤔Pressure of being a Tiger maybe.

Four points needed. Any kind of victory home to Sheffield and Belle Vue next week will seal it regardless what Lynn do in their last two meetings.

You might not like him, You might note rate him. But i doubt slagging him off will improve his performance perhaps a bit of support might.

Has the BP clinched the playoffs for the Witches?

Hold it the day after the British SGP , 2pm start as in parade at 1:45 first heat 2pm, no delays as theres a queue etc. Crack on with the meeting, barring any major incident you could get it over and done with in 2hrs. Those who attended the GP and staying locally are fairly likely to watch the meeting before travelling home, daytrippers know start time and that they stand a chance of getting home at a reasonable time. If riders have Polish commitments, run without them, or run some form of the 4TT instead. You have a stadium with a fairly large number of possible spectators staying in the area and Manchester having good transport links

It’s always a balls up at the end of season with riders and fixtures. The whole sport is a joke.

I can tell you straight. More disaster in 2027 for the stars.

All over for Lynn now in playoffs. Despite Ipswich losing at Northampton they get the bonus point by winning on aggregate by one point.

Belle Vue for the pairs would not draw much of a crowd, it needs to be at a PL track to make it financially viable. A reasonable turn out last night considering the weather conditions.

Its time the Promoters got their acts together, its been a fragmented season with teams going 3,4,5 weeks without a fixture. The hottest summer for ages and we cant fit in a few fixtures over this period. If this happens next year , only 1 Home,1 Away am done going to watch,its like a new season every time you go to a match with the fixtures spread out. If a Promoter cannot fit in 11 matches in 20 weeks of a season,there's a major problem with British Speedway.

Another muck out needed at Lynn. First time for years the team get a decent number one and he underperforms. Cook can’t replicate is form from Poland. Kvech getting worse and Harris not having a good season either. Carrying too many passengers.
