Me! And there was still (slim) hope at that point. Comes with the territory of being a Kings Lynn fan.... !!!

It still doesn’t sit well with me that the top team doesn’t win it. Imagine finishing top of the premier league and yet not winning the title, but instead having to enter a play off system with five other teams who made up the top 6. Yes you get play offs in lower divisions, but that’s for promotion. The top team are still champions! Ipswich will finish top, they’ve taken every single aggregate bonus point in both rounds of fixtures against every club (unless Sheffield manage to be the first next week) and yet could end up empty handed by having an off night in the semi’s or final. Yes, those are the “rules” and everyone knows them before a wheel is turned, but it’s a nonsense. They’re the best team in the league (not Leicester as some comically have been claiming in recent weeks), and deserve to be champions. Why not have the team that finished top are champions, but there’s still a top four race to prolong meaningful fixtures, by having the top four then enter the KOC, two semis and a final? That also does away with the farcical situation of having odd teams enter, and one club getting a “bye”.

Just Prem i think

Some decent racing and the future certainly looks good for one or of these lads. A pity that speedway fans don’t come out to watch meetings like these, they are the future of the sport.

Not sure Sheffield are weaker. Stronger with Rowe and Flint at reserve. Edit- okay maybe not. I thought RS stayed at reserve all season whatever.

That makes absolutely no sense. If it was top team wins the title without the play offs, it would STILL be a meaningless fixture! In fact, there would have been several meaningless fixtures an awful lot sooner if it wasn’t for the play offs. There was a kings Lynn fan still not giving up hope of qualifying as soon as a fortnight ago. They would have had to have given up the dream literally months ago if it was simply top team wins the title.

So is Mr Tungate rearing to go tonight?

Exactly this. Lots of posters here and on social media passing on the latest Chinese Whisper doing the rounds. Unless the poster is prepared to name the source etc they may as well not bother, it's like doing your GCSE maths and not showing your working out.

So Belle Vue have lost twice on aggregate to Sheffield and twice on aggregate to Ipswich …. Yet it’s trolling to point that out … strange analogy Belle Vue and Sheffield out of the 4 teams in the plays are the two who could thump anyone at home by 20 plus points easily …. The trouble is that they are the worse 2 teams away from home so if they do only win their home leg by 10-12 points they will lose by more away from home Ipswich could easily choke and so could Leicester but for anyone to disagree that it’s likely a Leicester v Ipswich final is crazy

Ellis at reserve potentially makes Ipswich a bit stronger. Sheffield weaker or the same IMO.

Just gotta see who is in for Max now. If this leg was taking place in September they could have got Ritchings!

I’ll be at Sandy Lane cheering the Oxford teams on win or lose. What kind of supporter doesn’t go to a meeting because their team isn’t in the play-offs… 🤷🏼‍♂️ half of them watch OUFC week in week out and they haven’t won a trophy since 1985.

Wondered how long it would be before he came on lol

Green sheets out for September. As expected Adam Ellis drops to reserve for Ipswich and Anders Rowe for Sheffield https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/p25_issue_24.pdf

Easy win for Lions I suspect. Sad night for West Midlands Speedway, likely to be the regions final meeting. Don't forget your sunglasses & caps, it was bad at NSS earlier it's always bad at PB. Gonna be squinty.

Well here we are barely at the end of august and the speedway season for many clubs is over ..........due to the "p.offs." Tonight's meeting Oxford College boys vs Kings Lynn stars is being billed as a "nothing fixture" just because they aren't in the "p.offs" The entire season is meaningless unless you reach the "p.offs" There really ought to be some better way of getting the TV luvvies their "TV trophy " meetings without runing the season for the majority of clubs who have not qualified for the "p.offs."

Will there be anyone to race against?

Not the best meeting I've seen at NSS in terms of racing but with a full crowd the atmosphere was very good. Bonus point might have been up for grabs had Mulford not hindered Blodorn for two laps in heat 8. Kept getting Morris & Pickering mixed up, which one scared Zischke out of a point in heat 6 or 7?

Any updates guys on the Coventry and Wimbledon projects? Thanks.

They do. They’re contractually obliged to show each team a minimum number of times (football). Of course some teams will be shown more than others. Speedway is the same, each track has to show a minimum number of fixtures.

If rumours are correct,Premiership

No guarantee Fraser will go as well this time around although the Tigers will be hoping he does. Personally I would like to see him do well again, he seems a dedicated young man.

There were various posts on here stating they hadn't been paid, mainly due to Tungates actions last week...lets see if those posts have any credence or facts to them.

IF Aces got Sheffield in playoffs and took and 18 point lead away id fancy us to defend it.

Great advert for speedway that today. Massive Crowd, great atmosphere great Home win, some fantastic racing, great weather. I thought the track prep and the work they did during in the meeting to keep the dust down was top class, they also managed the time between races really well. Even the queues for food and drink moved quickly today. The presentation of the meeting was first class, the big screen now with audio really adds to the show. Belle Vue would made some good well deserved money today and sent the crowd home very happy. A great day all round.
