Does middlo know its north of watford

Feels like a pretty impossible task - but I am hopeful of at least a good meeting. I think Flint and Trigger are decent picks. If we somehow come out and hit a couple of early heat advantages then you never know, but I think the focus just has to be on winning the meeting itself which will be tough enough. A bit of the shame how the season has ended for us, but still a chance of picking up at least 1 trophy.

WooHoo Witches!!! Absolutely marvellous! Son #1 and I watched it this afternoon (Friday) here in sunny Perth Hills. What a fascinating meeting to finish, with incidents, talking points, and a superb team effort by the Witches: only six heat winners - yet by six different riders; top men looking for their partners; the engine room coming up with the goods - Brennan and Rew scoring decisive 5-1s, King taking care of Heat 8; and the reserves taking points off their opposite numbers. Really can't ask for more - huge congrats to Chris Louis, in particular, for never giving up 👏 Cheers!

Somebody's got to fry the eggs and bacon!

Okay, there's a bit to unpack here... I don't agree that BZ's high appearance fee is nonsense as a self employed person myself I adjust my prices according as to what my customers can afford, I don't charge the factory down the road the same as I charge multl-billion pound financial institutions, not if I want the factory down the roads' business. Yes I do want to see the World Champion in emerging Speedway nations like Argentina & France. Apart from Australia tracks can be found in Poland, United Kingdom (Great Britain), Sweden, Denmark, Argentina, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa. I gave you 2 examples of individual events BZ has yet to ride in the PCMT in UK and Czech Golden Helmet, 2 prestigious individual events and you could argue that the decline in the other big events like the Gold Bar etc is due to the high appearance fees from riders. I agree if riders are riding over in Poland and taking the Polish coin the least they could do is learn some Polish language effectively enough to communicate even if it's only "jestem bardzo szczęśliwy" (me big happy? 😂) You may not like it but English is the international language and generally used as the international standard, if you want to be a world star and have cut through with the media around the world you need to be speaking in English. Cristiano Ronaldo didn't have a great grasp of English when he played for Manchester United but as he became a world star learnt it and has a much better media cut through than Lionel Messi because of this. Look at F1, all press conferences conducted in English and all drivers completely fluent in the language. If Speedway wants any media cut through at all and wants to expand its reach it's essential that the World Champion at least speaks English and is also seen outside of Poland.

I'm hoping Czestochowa get thrown out of the league and replaced by Bydgoszcz tbh. Would be embarrassing for all involved if Czestochowa are allowed to compete in the top flight next season with that team.

Kemp has put the greatest percentange on his starting average at Leicester (based on the October Averages) and has put the largest amount on his starting average. Up 0.89 in comparison to Douglas +0.82 and Fricke +0.75.

And that's the manager's fault.

No one made a big deal of it, but it was great to see Chris Louis takes his medal off and put it around Ellis' neck - A really classy move 💫

Kemp is one of the reasons throughout the season that they reached the Final though ,he had issues which can happen,others didn’t exactly ride to form in Final without blaming it solely on Kemp.

Leicester have suffered in the Premiership for always having one of the latest rising star picks. And next season will be no different if there is no change in the rules. Joe Thompson had twelve rides across the semi final and final and did not score a single point. It makes the performance of the team even more remarkable when you take this into consideration. Congratulations to Ipswich who had the strongest 1-7 and were worthy of the favourites title many gave them at the start of the season

Come on on the Pirates.

I wonder what they'll try to do in the track prep this time

Glad the weather is better at the moment and there’s no doubt this will go ahead. Wouldn’t be surprised if the track is very different to Sunday. They won’t make the same mistake of over watering tonight.

As an Ipswich fan I think heat 3 could have gone either way With regards to heat 14 Thompson had bike issues .. he changed to his second bike for his 4th ride and that slowed dramatically in the heat allowing Kemp to catch him and pass him By heat 14 we only needed a finisher in each race to secure the title so putting in edwards would not have made a difference unless its a 5-0

Arry’s on the case.

Just checking has the track preparation ended yet.🤣

Something that’s been said every year for the past decade or so. Don't hold your breath for a gust of fresh air to provide real optimism for us fans. More likely a bag full of hot air and half baked ideas and SPIN aimed at sprinkling glitter on the t*^d which is the BSPA to make it sparkle although not desirable to pick up.

Come on Redcar.

If you have TNT sports you should have access to Discovery+ which has all the meeting from the season on there including gps

Well done Ipswich and commiserations to Leicester. Two talking points for me, Heat 3, Douglas bails out whilst his team mate is in front, shows no intent on getting off of the track, ref has no option but to re-run it, low and behold its a 5-1 to Ipswich and its just about game over in all honesty. Lost any momentum and in reality and any chance of winning the meeting. Heat 14, think Hawkins dropped a clanger, changing reserves could of cost Ipswich the title, obviously it is now irrelevant but at the time he should of had the luxury of having a reserve to bring in if one of them had touched the tapes or been injured etc, Only small things but massive in the grand scheme of things!!
