Agreed Mike its another big speedway conundrum there's zero incentive to move up but equally the championship need the premiership to limp on to subsidise the wages of the legion of double uppers.

If it survives then conditions will be tricky that’s for sure! Still no word of a call off from official channels and it’s actually brightening up in town centre so who knows

And give the club something to engage younger fans given the two lads will be only a few years older... Clubs like Poole and Glasgow have very decent fanbases which resemble the majority of the top tier, however, I am not sure they would increase crowds from where they are, consistently, should they go into tier one... Having BV with Kurtz and Bewley there would see higher numbers through the doors, J Holder too, but not sure, (no disrespect meant), that other tracks would drive up numbers sufficiently to make any move into tier one cost effective, given the outlay involved... And race nights obviously being a huge stumbling block... £100k each of TV money though, for the top tier teams, would see it expand I would suggest... But. Given the way the sport is ran, that must be a very tough sell for those tasked to deliver it ...

Unfortunately my track only covers an area of 40ft by 15ft, it is an oval though. But seriously everyone always worries about rain yet it’s the best way to water a track, after all it has to be watered anyway, so long as it doesn’t chuck it down within an hour of start time so it leaves surface water or during the meeting itself, it shouldn’t be an issue. Ok so you might end up with one line, but you have that if it’s bone dry and dusty so what difference does it make?

Last 10 mins Foxhall has had a massive shower leaving puddles everywhere 👀 starting to look like a harder task now to get tonight running good… stranger things have happened though 17:00 will see the biggest downpour if predictions are accurate, with a brief passing shower at 18:00

Everyone round to @marko's... can you also run Sheffield vs Northamptoningham and Leicester vs Lynn in a triple header? It's been a lovely sunny day here in Leicester 😉

I would think crowds would hold up or improve this year given they have two of the very best English youngsters at reserve both of who are banging in the points weekly.

Guess we can rule it out ever happening on point one alone, unless Harry has an ace up his sleeve when did he start last Nov and so far we have had Linda Lusadi in a travel lodge room pulling team names out of what looked like a used McDonalds bag.

In Essex we have had plenty of hail, I have a small RC dirt track in my back garden, I have a home made grader which is towed around using an Rc car it to rip the top surface a bit, but track still hard as nails from when it was rolled and sun baked dry, water just runs off it, and I suspect go down a few CMs and it will be dry as a bone.

For the first time since 2024 Gorzow have confirmed a sold out stadium for the Derby Lubuskie. Just over 15k tickets sold. Now it’s up to the riders to wipe the floor clean with Falubaz!

Imagine the scenes inside the command caravan.

Currently at the stadium it brings blue skies then showers every 15 mins or so, the floor is damp but nowhere near enough to call it off.

Change of date for 2 of the round 9 matches Czestochowa v Leszno now on Friday 19th June Zielona Gora v Wroclaw now on Sunday 21st June

“blue”?? They look black, grey and thundery to me but hey I ain’t a weatherman 😂

Well they’re talking nonsense. Nowhere near enough rain to call it off! BUT, the radar isn’t great on a couple of models from 5 onwards. Let’s hope they’re wrong.

youre arguing with people that have tried to drag down Ashton at every opportunity.

Lots of comments on the Ipswich facebook page people saying with all the rain had it should be called off?

No,I'm going to square him up after the next meeting buy one get one free.

Yes massively impressed by Jeppersen when he guested for Poole at Glasgow so should be a good one.

Shouldn't that be the pilots continue cheating 😜🤔

Depends on how fit cookie is and whether Batchelor turns up. Expect Jeppesen to be good value and tate will be amongst the points. If we get those 4 firing, we should keep it close. The uncertainties are obviously Perry, simpson and jakobsen.

have they forked out for track covers?

Matt Ford said at P&P that Poole would never rule out Premiership racing in the future, BUT 2 things would need to be in place - 1) a decent TV contract, and 2) being allowed to race home meetings on Wednesdays. Also assuming a sensible points limit he would love to track a Pirates team containing both Holders and both Cook brothers😇
