Yes, we were lucky that Etheridge stepped up last week, as Holder was poor by his usual standards.

Or maybe he was alluding to the fact that those 2 teams were in the same qualifying group ? Fact is, it wasn't a one horse race back then as Sheffield still had their full 1-7 available, and that was why you failed to make the final. The loss of Holder is what has killed the season. I know somebody will comment about Kurtz being ill for the Owlerton leg, but the fact that you were smashed that day shows what happens when your number 1 rider is unavailable. Now try riding 2/3rds of the season like that !!

Ladbrokes have Lambert as favourite to win on Saturday at 5/2. bartoz 3/1 Brady 5/1

You can rely on me- have phoned Poland. Spoke to the press officer Roza and the yellow zone will be open for qualifying - entrance by programme which i think is cash 30zl. Gates open at 1.30pm local time i think.Hopefully what i have been told is correct.

It's delusional for anyone to think that it's lazy of the Bates family for example to not get themselves in even bigger financial trouble by signing a World Class replacement for Jack Holder just to mount a title challenge on BSN.

No such rule

No Chris Harris? I thought he rode in every meeting.

I said that on the Ipswich v Belle Vue thread. Not good enough for Aces fans though.

The one decision the ref did get wrong was not excluding Newman in heat 12. He pulled a locker which forced his back wheel into hitting Jody Scott, not a case of first bend bunching.

In your opinion. Personally I class myself as an Ipswich fan these days considering I've decided to continue attending the same local track to watch live Speedway for a few years now. Naturally I want to see that Club (Ipswich) win every time no matter who the opposition is as it's the Club/Team that I pay money to support and watch on a regular basis. Much like Ex-Swindon fans who attend Oxford meetings and support them on a regular basis.

One of the major stumbling blocks to rider development has been the amount of experienced Double Uppers/Downers who have filled two places and not one... Particularly taking up so many places which should have been set aside for development in the 2nd tier...

If the idea of one UK U21 rider and one international U21 at reserve is true that does change the Wroclaw rider situation. Marcel Kowolik and Jody Scott could be the 2 possibilities. I feel Rushen and Cairns are already locked in at Belle Vue and King's Lynn. Mikkel Andersen will probably ride in Denmark.

They've tinkered around the edges for years with rising stars and whatever they were called beforehand, grading reserves in the championship etc. which led to Boxall and Armstrong at reserve for what was meant to be all season on 7 point averages. Set a points limit and let teams build to it but by all means encourage younger british riders being signed first and foremost, if a team doesnt want a british rider they shouldnt be forced too but with the knowledge they will be signing a rider with a higher average.

No. Its a one horse race remember

May this help with the split between the premiership and championship and reduce doubling up. At the end of the day KJP and Edwards both have averages around 6.00 in the championship so in an ideal world should not really be troubling the premiership before the hit 7-8 in my opinion.

Nothing as yet. I also emailed the SGP EMAIL address, but they just referred me back to the Torun email address

Fraser Bowes?

It's not what you know, It's who you know. It's not sarcasm as you put it, but can see why you think it to be fair, but i just wouldn't believe all what you hear about the saving of Ipswich Speedway. And as iv'e said, let's see what gets dished up teamwise this season, let's just wait and see. He said judge him on 2027, and that's what i and many Ipswich fans will do i'm sure.

Lions in trouble, Scott hit form slump sense his title, head swelled,I am favouring the tigers

Loads of entertainment last night. Drama, crazy ref calls and some half decent racing. Love the confidence of Cairns, talented on a bike and the adrenaline was obviously flowing. Keep it coming. Some old school rivalry will help the sport thrive. On to the match itself, did Redcar do well or did Poole make hard work of it? Or both? Expected Poole to hammer the Bears.

that’s the one! Thank you

The Ipswich promoter and rights holder for the GP’s has recently said the track must be greatly improved (altered?) to hold a GP. Maybe he is talking to the owners to see if that is possible?

Couldn't ever have been the case though could it?

Some of the comments at Cairns are laughable. Please remember he is still a bairn at 17, plying his trade with adults in a high pressure professional setting & a sport that is more adrenaline fuelled than most. I for one hope he keeps this up because if he wants a successful career & to chase the dream of being World Champion one day, then he is gonna need all these attributes that people are so keen to moan about. Wont be moaning if in 10 years time he is World Champion, the same people will probably be kissing his ass. Last night was brilliant for the sport. What was good to see was a load of youngsters going at it 100%, ie Cairns, Rushen, Mulford, Pijper, Scott. If these boys keep progressing then we might not see them in Britain for much longer before the lure of Zlotys beholds them, so enjoy it whilst it lasts!

All very theoretical. But -- isn't Jacob Hook riding?
