guests for injuries are a necessary evil although r/r should be compulsory if its not your number 1 or a reserve but to schedule a plum semi final on a night when riders are in a different country is utterly ridiculous its deeply worrying how some people just accept guests when they should only be used when absolutely necessary

No he won’t stop being silly. Can you blame him? Cause I certainly can’t, track was the same for everyone and 3&4 was a bit patchy early on. Everyone knew belle vue would be spluttering out of the play offs because there team is weak if you take away the top 2. It’s been refreshing seeing someone take it to Bartosz this year, and, I hope Kurtz wins because he’ll land me a nice chunk of money 😁

I did place my initial post under General Discussions but I would imagine it would be better placed here? It is with deep regret due to having to downsize that I will have to off load my extensive collection of speedway DVD's. They number approximately 800 and as an Oxford fan many cover the Cheetahs but there are many internationals and World Finals. Unfortunately due to the size of the collection any interested party would have to collect which I appreciate may be an issue? I seriously hope that there maybe someone who is interested...they cover the years 1972 to the present as it would be a terrible loss to have trash them? Regards

He has had issues with engine tuners all year. Started the season without one & hasn’t really got going. If the league structure stays the same & he wants to come back next year I think he’ll be on a quote bargain average. I’d love to see him back but I’m not sure he’ll be up for it.

No disrespect to Kurtz ,this is my opinion as well ,he admits it's his gating but he's worked the oracle if he wins fair enough . IMO BZ is the most amazing rider the sport has ever had !

200 mile round trip to Ipswich,not the most exciting meeting,currently stuck on closed M6 motorway because of accident, should of been home 45 mins ago, highways agency saying motorway reopen 3am, oh the joys

Don’t they say Something is only worth what people are prepared to pay for it and clearly not enough people think the product is worth what they are being asked to pay

Who would pay for the track covers, where would they store them, will clubs have enough volunteers to cover / uncover a track? It's a nice idea, but certainly not one where you can demand every track have covers.

Never settle for the point

Think Dan is a really genuine guy,like he says he just rides his bike wants to win,but it not the end of the world for him.Thats just the type of guy he is.

Disgraceful (lack of) performance from the Aces GP stars. I’d be embarrassed that they let your team down but instead saved their best efforts for the weekend. The Witches fully deserve their place in the final and hope that Emil can get his woes sorted for the final. They will face much tougher opposition in the final than the Aces tho.

When you've been to a public school and its on your CV. The old boys network kicks and you end up with a nice little number for the rest of your life!!

Incitement for who to do what? As I have already said Glasgow supporters go to see good racing not shout abuse at riders, win,lose or draw.

Unlucky Aces, started decent and thought we were in for a long night but we turned it round after heat 8 and kept the foot down to get the job done. Tough conditions for both riders early on and not as big crowd as I expect but weather might had played a part. I want to mention this though… my Polish mother in law came over and she has a close friend who was diagnosed with cancer recently, and she has an operation next month. Her favourite rider is Bewley so today after the meeting we waitied to see if he would give us a minute of his time. He was very polite and listened to the story of her friend, he put his bags down and wrote a message out directed to her, wishing her all the best and signing it. For me, it’s something he didn’t have to do especially after that meeting and not the best performance but he was still willing to be a kind human to help another out and make her day. I wished him all the best for the weekend and off he went, sometimes you can get caught up in the racing but these guys are just humans like us and whether Ipswich won or lost tonight I would remember that gesture of kindness over speedway. Good luck Saturday Dan B.

He broke his leg when he hit a drain lid in the second half of a league meeting at Hyde Road. It was a week before the world final. Even if he did have a league meeting that week. I'm sure no one would have blamed him for missing the meeting with a broken leg!. What I was trying to say, Riders were very much more of club men back then. They didn't ride in Sweden on a Tuesday and Poland on a Sunday. Yes they rode long track meetings in Germany and such, but they were individual meetings, so for the likes of PC and Mort, the Aces was their club. Yes the Aces are Bewley's and Kurtz's club, but they also have a Polish club and a Swedish club and as such their loyalties are split. No doubt the highest payers will always come first and thats not Belle Vue!

I'm intrigued to know what people think they should be paying to watch professional sportsmen, including some of the best in the world ? As well as watching speedway, I am a regular at stock car racing and football. My football team are in League 1 (3rd tier), and the match day ticket price is £30. Stock car racing, depending on the formulas racing as there are different levels, varies generally from £20-25. When it is a bigger meeting, such as the British Championship or the European the the prices is closer to £30, and this weekend is the World Championship with advance tickets at £42 and on the day price of £48. In comparison to this, I don't think that £25 is too high a price for top league speedway, and would expect an increase for the play off semis and final.

Have you not been watching Man City this season?

No wonder they blew their lead. 18 pints is a bit much for anyone!

Pure greed from Lemon. Something about him I can’t stand.

I tend to reserve hatred for people who deserve it more than speedway riders who dont perform as well as I'd like them to

I would expect Man utd to lose whether Haaland plays or not!

Didn't a few of those riders blow an 18 pint lead in a play off final on a wet track🤔 oops.
