All Activity

Arrived at the pub in Middlesbrough for pre meeting pint n lunch. C'mon the Boyzzz ☠️ 💪

He has an affinity for Lublin more than all the other clubs he rode for, that’s why he announced his retirement there during a recent match.

PPV but only if using a Polish bank.

Yes bad weather- hoping to start at 2 pm UK time.

Cracking MotoGP and moto3 , haven't watched 2 yet Check out the talent cup some great battles from the youngsters. Watch from behind the sofa tho lol

Interesting this is at Lublin rather than Leszno

73rd Chain of Arms Tournament. Says 3 pm (Poland) start.

Any stream?

All his gear is probably all packed up and on the way back to Oz!

That's actually embarrassing by the SCB. With the amount of matches riders miss for foreign meetings seemingly perfectly acceptable, this where they draw the line!

I appreciate it is pretty pointless responding to you, because you take no account of facts. Wimbledon speedway did not leave Plough Lane because of either lack of interest or viability. Indeed, Wimbledon were planning to apply to move up from the then 3rd division to the 2nd division at the time the lease was not renewed. The only reason that speedway ended was because the owners would not give a new lease to the speedway club because they wanted to develop the site (which they did). All leaseholders on the site (speedway, motorbike training school, stock cars etc) were refused new leases. The owners applied for and got planning permission for circa 600 flats, and provided land and a multi million pound donation to AFC Wimbledon to assist in building its new stadium, thereby allowing the Council to grant planning permission whilst maintaining sporting use on site. This has all been documented many times and is in the public domain. In relation to the possible new site, then Wimbledon in Sporting History have made statements about the possibility of a new track in the area, and work continues to explore that option. There is interest and I'm sure that any new stadium will be built to a size that better ensures viability.

That's a bit harsh on Joe, who as the weakest of the 14 riders can't be expected to score much. Maybe Jason Edwards is a target. Does that make him a "let down"?

I'll be in Middlesbrough in 50 mins then pub lunch C'mon the Boyzzz ☠️ 💪

I think the key point is that SON is not an attractive format to many, hence fewer travelling fans, let alone fewer local fans to whom, in this case, it was an expensive exercise

At Saltburn by sea, wind blowing very strong. Having latte and scone. Will support Pirates win or lose, stay safe all riders. Adam Ellis a good guest. ☠️☠️☠️

Arguably you only deserve it if you achieve it. His performance this season is probably the best GP campaign without winning the title to date though. Kurtz’s 2025 is the best debut GP season anyone has ever had so far too. Hopefully he can maintain these levels and we get a competitive title race in 2026.

What bubble burst out of interest? You've got your theory and I’ve got the factual answer, in Poland, this wasn’t the biggest night in world speedway. Poland doesn’t care about ‘World’ speedway, same they don’t care about British, Swedish or Danish. Ekstraliga final was bigger than this to them, and so was Vojens GP final. They have small interest in SoN. Out of curiosity, why does everyone think it’s a joke that Polish fans didn’t fill the stadium, it was £40-90 for one ticket. I’ve been to Ekstraliga matches for £7. Also, Poland wasn’t the only team racing, where were the masses of Swedish, British, Danish, Australian, Czech fans? And before you say “it was in Poland” the FIFA world cup is all over the world but millions of other nations travel to different countries to watch it.

And PGE Ekstraliga attendances plummeted from 9625 last year down to a pathetic 10325 this year.

very tough to call, scott a huge loss for redcar, lawson a tough act to follow for ellis

And the award to the fool speaking the biggest amount of boll*cks this week goes to… You really need to stop now. Wrong on all accounts. Go back under the bridge with the other trolls…

Thought I seen him on TV in Poland last night, probably still celebrating with the Aussies.

Bewley injured from last night and has withdrawn from the meeting.

So the Polish bubble on attendances finally bursts on what should have been the biggest night of World Speedway! Call it as you want but the combined attendances of the Speedway Of Nations Semi Finals and Final night would not have half filled a magnificent Stadium, WHY? I have posted previously of my thoughts, but additionally I must add now that with all the school holidays and fine weather (Hopefully during them) more meetings need to be scheduled around them. If a rider wants to concentrate on riding abroad then so be it. Many young supporters now identify with the present up and coming riders and prefer the interaction with them. I stand by my original post and hopefully it is taken into consideration at any meeting deciding the format of the future.

Weather this week is looking good

Where is ex pirate Ben Cook? Is his average too high, I am sure he would do it if asked.
