Awful. We're here and 20min? s to go, about 1/10th full. I thought this was the pinnacle place of speedway? Foxhall would have a bigger crowd!

Thanks 👍🏻 But I'll work my own system though, I'll just go for 1 point anytime Tatum or Louis say "I tell you what"... think I'll win 🏆

7 teams and only 6 benches, typical speedway!

And we were told it'd be "heaving" 😂

After the fear the weather could spoil things running in to October, thankfully the weather is set fair for next week so no excuses not to have both tracks prepared well for the final.

@IainB I have created a Kelvin Tatum list of phrases for you tonight to check off. Jet propelled Working overtime Repays the compliment No doubt about that Umm Ehhhh No question about that Starting is at a premium Each phrase is worth 5 points and each mistake Kelvin makes is worth 10 points. If Louis corrects his mistake you get a bonus 25 points added on to your original 10. Best of luck.

Let’s hope there’s not poor racing then

Again another poor crowd especially for a final

Agree he has put a point on his rolling average, watching him every week I feel he is getting stale on the Poole track. 9 times out of 10 if he is behind just follows the rider in front line for line, no attempt to even try and overtake. BV suits him well and if he wants to progress maybe a full time team in Poland will help him progress. Nothing against zach at all, he’s been a loyal servant but like riders been and gone a fresh challenge may do him good. I don’t also feel another year at Poole he will increase his average anymore, it’s gone up due to mainly been put at 4 most of the season. When it didn’t work out for Kerr at 5 Zach was next in line and that didn’t go well either hence his return to number 4, Anders has held his own at 5 thankfully but this should have been Zach’s big year to push to remain at 1 or 5 all season but hasn’t happened.

Why be keen for a rider to move on when he's put over 1 point on his starting average? OK he's not the most extrovert of captains that's ever been and will still be in the Poole side in 2026 imo. (Maybe he'll improve further with another compatriot Aussie in the side?)

They are good young riders at the level whats is requered in the UK. People forget the likes of Rushen and Cairns have got the same experience as the foreign lads. Those boys have have been racing each other all around Europe for a couple of seasons, So it will be interesting to see how they perform against their foreign counterparts. Regarding Killeen and Harrison, i don't know what experience they have when it comes to racing abroad. It just shows though the days of a British u21 world champions have long gone. Cox, Havelock, Louis, Screen and Richardson. The closest we have since them boys was Bomber back in 2003!

Shovvy wont bother travelling but I reckon LBW will be there with his flat white!

Im doing a rain dance!

Nicky will pull them together,.... but will have to be his way. 🤪

It’s Redcars now

Joe Thompson will be the let down for the lions making them a six man team which will give ippo the edge

Yep I watched and it wouldn’t have hurt them to switch from inner to outer like the Aussies did

Do the three Danes not get on? At this autograph session in the fan zone all the teams are sat together except the Danes. Madsen is with Latvia, Michelsen is with Aussies & MJJ is with Sweden.

True but it is a valid reason in my opinion, cant see us getting through with Ellis especially as his father hates Poole almost as much as you do!!

Did you actually watch? GB had a plan with Lambert on the inside and Bewely on the outside every time, worked well. RUSHEN for crying out loud. If somebody does then brilliant, a nice problem to have.

Just because he may score less doesn't mean Poole should get a facility

Absolutely - athough I thought the Witches might have gone with Brennan at #5, because he's good a Leicester, while Ellis seems more inspired when paired with Doyle. Whatever the score over the two legs, the result won't be life-changing. In a week or so, it will be forgotten*, and everyone will be talking about 2026 ... * except for Gavan and Salty Sheffield 🤣

It’s complicated, I wrote before about the need for 9 million zloty and the guarantor required for loan. Yesterday it was assessed as now 8.3 million due to the movement of clubs for Fajfer. This is the first move from the club to start the financial recovery and to show intent. Many clubs in the top league and M.2 wrote it would be better for stal to declare relegation before the match, there is heavy pressure. The club wrote a statement claiming they will fight and do what it takes to stay in the league, other top league teams wish the demise of Stal so they can secure Thomsen or Holder for cheap, and M.2 clubs the demise will mean one will gain automatic promotion. For other INFO regarding tomorrow: Fajfer is declared ZZ.

The Ouch post says "Louis wouldn't put up with this", yet it's not obvious what Ouch assumes JL wouldn't put up with. Gavan is correct, JL is adored throughout the Witches fan base. He was a thoroughly professional rider and promoter, - traits which his son picked up and continues, and expects from everyone associated with the club. After the fiddling by Morris in 2024, the Regulations have been followed correctly this season. Sheffield fans are remarkably salty - why can't they accept that the cut-off was reached before the fixtures were completed? They didn't complain about finishing third a couple of years ago, when their team then went on to win the Grand Final. The reason the Tigers aren't in the Final this season is because they lost against Leicester - that's really quite easy to understand.
