Have a look here, Royal Wootton Bassett Community Facebook this post says it all.(about 30 posts down) and some good replies Speedway is a dreadful idea in this location. RWB is being dumped on by what Swindon doesn’t want. More traffic, more pollution, more flooding in the area and disruption for the wildlife and everything the canal and all the volunteers have worked for (not sure walkers, riders and local wildlife and nesting birds and swans will appreciate the awful noise of a speedway and revving bikes). It’s not just the speedway but the go karting as well which will be noisy and also cause a lot of traffic in an already dangerous roundabout and road system. These posts are so boring, it is the same few people whinging in support of it and just attacking anyone they can who says anything against it (who funnily enough are all speedway racers looking at their pictures) they want to ruin it for the rest of us in our lovely town and people who actually value the countryside and cutting down on traffic in our area. If they had spent as much time complaining about the stadium not being rebuilt where it was originally then maybe something would have been done sooner and they would have their old stadium back in their original site rather than letting a developer buy them off and put it elsewhere. Please go to the planning portal to say what a dreadful idea this is for the environment, for the traffic and for local business at this site and make Swindon council take responsibility force the developers to build it where is was previously and not palm it off on RWB.

MPT is a major disappointment for Monarchs so far.Must have been expecting more from him.

Ipswich have been to Belle Vue 3 times this season (so far). Only 1 Ipswich rider has beat Dan Bewley in those 3 meetings. Would think Ipswich would win but as you say nothing guaranteed (2 seasons ago Ipswich beat Belle Vue when they weren't favoured to do so in the playoffs).

Home win, with the home team getting a 5 1 in heat 15 to steal victory 46 44

Link for Krakow, 21.08.2025: https://www.youtube.com/live/rVfPXf68mQM?si=t2I9XaeM7Uhl9tBZ Link for Gniezno, 25.08.2025, start time 4pm UK: https://www.youtube.com/live/0fULpVzT5j0?si=utkYMUHzkHOTrq6s

Add in a rider who doesn't want to ride in home meetings also.

He’s ill. Missed Kings Lynn on Thursday through sickness so cannot ride tonight.

Can’t be worse than the A fixture between the 2

I reckon it was R87.....

Krakow round on Thursday 21st August start time 4pm UK time. Gniezno round on Monday 25th August start time TBC

I get the context, my point is a sport, that wants to see itself as being taken seriously by the wider sporting public, should not be allowing teams to race for league points when there's only 2 of it's regular members riding. The fact that the rules allow this is why Speedway in the UK is in the state it is. Compare Speedway to a professional sport where their ruling body did step in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/articles/cjeyz09313do

Simply because things do happen. At Foxhall recently I could have easily seen the Aces get a 5-1 in Ht13 rather than the other way around. Thompson showed he can register a poor score as can others and I think Aces can beat Ipswich at their place and bring a few points in hand. I'd have put £20 on the Witches reserves outscoring the Aces reserves but they didn't. Speedway can be unpredictable - I though Redcar would muller Plymouth on Saturday but far from it, they nearly lost!

Someone needs to do a bit of investigation digging here and find out who had those leaflets printed and distributed and made sure it hit the local papers,because this has all the hallmarks of a inside hit job

quite looking forward to this, should be a good close competitive match said absolutely no one

When did jeppersen get injured ?

same convo happened last year after getting hammered on aggregate against the challenging teams, same happened in 2022 when we won the play offs in 2021 when Peterborough won, we beat them 4 times out of 4 in league, then play offs they beat us so while yes, i think this is the year that we probably wont change our fortunes, you cant write us off just yet, play offs are a different animal

Why? Appreciate we all have opinions, just interested in your reasoning for this. Belle Vue are simply not as good and by a margin. Of course it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they’d win over two legs, but it will be an upset and against all logical reasoning if they did so with two full strength teams. If Ipswich lose to Belle Vue in the semi final and we are at full strength, then we’ve choked IMO and failed badly as a team.

I think this will be tight... I'm amazed at Becker's recovery, but like others have said, this meeting might be too soon for him to score the points that R/R has been getting in his absence.

think your going the wrong way 🤣

And the prize for 'How to contradict oneself in the same post', goes to... The rules at the end of the day are what they are, do most people agree with them, not really. But the reality is, Plymouth saw two riders injured less than 24 hours before staging this meeting. They also had two others injured from 7 days prior. At this point in the season to suggest they could sign replacements is a bit of a joke (as much of a joke as the guest system but hey ho). Context is everything.

Well nearly end of the season for the Brummies, need to get an away win, just this one and Leicester left , probably stream this one. Got this daft idea of of going to the Leicester fixture, more likely get a win there, it being a gaters track (Yes I know I laughed out loud as well). But first we have to deal with the Aces on home shale, our no 1 (honest) will have to have his gating gloves on, a quicker bike and stop riding like a prat. Rew should get a few, Lambert (simon) rides well at this track, Hagon has had a few rides in various meeting at BV so expecting a good show from him. Paco always gives 100%. Zager always a happy hunting ground and former Bv no 1, he should be our ace in the pack. R/R for Jeppeson a bit of a blessing. We are certain to get double figues as there are 15 heats, but how many after that is anybodies guest, plus 30 and I`ll be dancing around the room. Come on the Brummies

Everything I said was true, you just don’t like it because your team were the ones that pinched it. Just admit you took advantage of another teams terrible misfortune and got away with one that you didn’t deserve 🙄

Bastian Pedersen is the Wildcard for the final round in Vojens. Reserves are 17 Nagel 18 Heiselberg

He's actually seventh [of seven] in 2025 averages for all official fixtures http://www.gbspeedway.com/2025/teamstats.php?mc1=f&mc2=ta&mc3=av&mc4=Oxford Cheetahs&team=Oxford Cheetahs&league=B&comp=All&avtype=av&reload=Y#mobile_stats

https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/25393543.local-fight-starts-swindon-speedway-stadium-plans/ The sound of an aircraft landing that can be heard 10 miles away. It sounds awful!! Who wrote the leaflet? Clark Osborne?
