Give yourself peace mate. In a sport that is as selfish and individual rider focussed as speedway it was great to see a team celebration like that. Lets be honest here, the team element in this country for speedway for the most part are as kid on as it gets with multiple riders coming and going mid season, different names every other season and countless guests etc… Last night you could see just how much it meant to riders like Flint, Hodder and Perry etc. Of course the likes of Bomber have been there and done it for the last 20 years but even he was enjoying the moment. This is not football and if anything that sort of reaction last night would only bond the team further to make them all try even harder for the final if that is somehow possible. Great night, great racing and a great result.

His WiFi must be down but Lucky he is not in jail this morning

The inside was definitely better than it has been, second half of the meeting at least. It’s still not what it was though. Some races were just a race to the dirt and as long as you were on the fence, you were pretty safe. I hope they move back towards how it used to be prepared, because there wasn’t anything wrong with it.

It wasn’t an unsatisfactory start, so they did nothing wrong.

If this is true, right there we have one of the problems with British speedway, riders these days expect, well those days are long gone, the sport isn’t in the position to pander to these demands,some of the things riders expect these days is unattainable and it’s not just top riders, I got told a few weeks back about a current championship rider who wanted a large guarantee to ride in a amatuer meeting, riders deserve the world but unfortunately the cake just isn’t big enough to feed everyone the slice they want

My thoughts exactly

Will Cairns replaces the injured Lewi Kerr.

Should get a 28 day ban for next season though if a British club is naive enough to sign a rider who thinks it is okay to treat the club who quite frankly have pandered after him all season with no reciprocal loyalty with such disdain.

For anyone wanting to know how Polish media see’s our league 😂 from Thursdays media report in Poland… Takie rzeczy tylko w Anglii. Sheffield Tigers oraz Ipswich Witches rozegrały już swoje półfinałowe spotkania, ale w czwartek zmierzyły się jeszcze w ramach... fazy zasadniczej. Tak właśnie w Premiership odrabia się zaległości. To sprawiło, że Sheffield Tigers, które odpadło w półfinale z Leicester Lions, miało mecz dosłownie o nic na pożegnanie z własnymi kibicami. Z kolei Ipswich Witches, przed którymi jeszcze finał, potraktowało to starcie bardziej jako sparing z wymagającym rywalem. TRANSLATION: Such things only happen in England. Sheffield Tigers and Ipswich Witches have already played their semi-final matches, but on Thursday they faced off again in the... regular season. That's how you make up ground in the Premiership. This meant that Sheffield Tigers, who were eliminated in the semi-finals by Leicester Lions, had a literally meaningless match to say goodbye to their home fans. Meanwhile, Ipswich Witches, who still have the final to play, treated the match more like a friendly against a demanding opponent.

Not His Team Manager,former Polish Team Manager now Tv critic.No messing says it as he sees it.

Yes

Marek has seen a few riders in the last 50 years ,he is just giving an honest opinion.

The whole situation stinks, I liked Fraser, I thought he was one of the most improved riders over the course of the season but this has left a sour taste in the mouth. He’s a young lad who’s finding his way in Europe and I get his Facebook post, but to spit the dummy out over a “lift” that then leads to essentially withholding his services, is just out of order. His behaviour is that of a petulant child throwing his toys out of the pram, just adds fuel to the rumours he’s signed for Poole. Good riddance.

🦵 1st leg looks ok

Marek Cieslak, used to be the Poland “coach” he’s working on CanalSports coverage of meetings in Poland now. Found this from an article on the polish site. “I'd like to know who recommended this rider to them. I see he's a guy who can't really ride speedway. But what can you do, but that's exactly what Unia's squad looks like – full of holes," said Marek Cieślak on Canal+ Sport. The Australian left the Jaskółki team without scoring a single point. In Łódź, he had only zeros against his name in four starts. "I don't know why he got the first number. Maybe Stasiu (Burza - editor's note) was hoping for some kind of awakening," added the experienced coach.”

On what I’ve seen of him he’s going nowhere in Poland.Will struggle when U24 finishes for him. There’s a dozen young Poles in front of him.Social Media training needed.

Hopefully Richard Lawson's announcement today will explain his absences this week and appease all the doubters and rumourmongers. Congratulations Rich and welcome the new Rio Rocket!

I really don't get all the negativity (bullrubbish) about the playoffs. pretty much very other sport that operates a league structure includes play-offs of one sort or another. Clubs love 'em because they are still money-spinners compared to standard fixtures (not least because clubs can raise the admission prices) and they can sometimes be the difference between a club losing money or breaking even over the season! They still attract larger crowds and often greater local/regional media coverage..

The Edinburgh Riders and Management failed to see the preparation between heats 14 and 15 extended break with the outside being tyre packed and the inside being graded. Glasgow riders knew where to go.

Great meeting, great racing, with Nagel scoring zero Edinburgh should be in the final. I am sure most Glasgow fans will want Poole in the final, two reasons, One for revenge and two because probably Redcar will be harder to beat. Obviously I hope Poole make it and I dont care how much flack and abuse we receive about our track.

I was the same regarding Leon, he has gone up a level or two, ultimately when it really matters. Positively he looks to be on a steal of an average for next year.

Best ask Frazer

I would have thought any verbal abuse should have been aimed at MPT, awful performance, if he was carrying an injury he should not have ridden, no guest could have done a worse job.

What happened? On that note, shout out to the scumbag with neck tattoos who walked away from the food outlet on the back straight with two Tennent’s without paying. The young boy and girl behind the till reminded him several times, but obviously, his upbringing dictated that he was above paying for his drinks.
