All Activity

Pa pa Lublin. Stal did what needed to be done today and turned up. Lindgren away, but the boys still needed to perform and they did. Bubba with ride of the night to hold off Zmarzlik for a vital 5-1. Stal getting the fans back on side now the old president has gone and the new regime has taken place and people can believe in these young stars. First Falubaz and now Lublin. Stal are comfortable at home.

There is one change to our line up. Ill wait to see if it's true

Iainb cannot be with us tonight, so instead we have Whitelinehugger.

That’s the spirit, good on yah! Judging by the negativity on this thread the pre meeting parade could consist of you and a few others being introduced to the riders!

Don't tempt me.... Sounds amazing... Try Thai in Manchester could only dream of such a menu... Going out at 12 to enjoy some expensive beer and sunshine... I was a bit concerned that citeh are having a parade but La Pasta Bona outside the NSS will have more lining the kerb... I am having 115 on the menu, in honour of Pep.....

Pity. I thought he improved a lot last year.

Glasgow so far haven't gone as well as you'd expect, with the exception of home against Berwick. So maybe they are due a big performance? But I'm not expecting it to materialize on Wednesday. Losing Dan Thompson was a big lose. The track will have had plenty of sun sure, but at least it's going to be predictable, so providing the water starts going on well in advance so it can soak down, track ought to be better than Kneeler predicts. Copper was fit enough for SON2 so should be there, presumably helping out with RR for Bowes.

Baked beans on toast with vinegar on top.

Hope Kurtz doesn’t read this Mike, gingers don’t do sun 😞

The sport is down to its die hards... Winning the majority of meetings at home is the only priority for many promoters... Do that, and crowds will stay pretty much the same... There is zero big reward for winning any league, so why risk the clubs ongoing existence by spending money it hasn't budgeted for?... A title winning team at the majority of clubs won't generate much extra income, so why bother given their outgoings will increase .. Workington, when they won the treble, would have budgeted for around 90 points (like most do) for their home and away meetings, and ended up with a team that often battered the opposition at home, and often scored 40+ away... Their crowd numbers didn't cover that "success"... Only 15 clubs are left, so all need to cut their cloth accordingly as to what they can afford...

I find it sad that zmarzlik left gorzow, it’s clearly his home, hopefully he will be back one day

I went to Thursday nights meeting with my son and I would estimate the attendance at around 2,000. There were quite a few Leicester fans there but we were pleased to see a large Northampton support. The noise and enthusiasm of the home fans on gaining their first win was impressive and infectious! We were very impressed with the facilities and the general organisation at the stadium. After many years in the Speedway wilderness, I have finally found a local team that I can support. We can’t wait for the next meeting. At last, is there a chink of light for the future of our great sport🤞🤞

Same at my local club also. Butterflies in the stomach

i remember when i used to get that excited at Bellevue in the 70s 😁

Well done Gorzow, deserved win

I will stick my neck out for you a lot.

What about Lemo's Hotpot in the Peter Craven suite? Followed by Pie & Mushy Peas in the Panaroomaram in the evening? Opportunity missed 🤷‍♂️

If you knew your speedway history, getting beaten every week usually means a drop off in attendance. Winning at home is vital for attendances. You don't have to thump them just win and win on aggregate if you can.

Kurtz passes riders on the outside, time and time again... Hence he stalked Madsen for four laps riding the dirt, inches from the fence. . Greg would have kerb crawled perfrctly to see if he could under pass him....

Lublin look very ordinary tonight, even zmarzlik not st his best

I have to attend my daughters engagement meal in Manchester at 3pm, meaning I will miss both these mouthwatering extravaganza's of top tier Speedway... How many Championship riders?...

Always a fantastic nights racing at Sheffield... Even more so after a hot day.... 60-30....

Paluch needs to get going, Woryna was lucky Paluch stayed on his bike when he hit him.

Im going at the expense of my mental health 🤣
