Cairns and Rowe already signed for next season, can't really see Lawson going anywhere else, not so sure about Zach

yes like Mercenary footballers 😆 Whilst to us and speedway in general these are big losses / donations etc its small fry - the reason so many football clubs are in financial trouble is the old school traditional English / or Scottish cairman is long gone as so many no longer have the fortunes required to keep up! As you suggest mercenary speedway riders have largely been the benefit as are mercenary footballers - but in some respects fans ourselves are part of the issue - certainly in football always wanting bigger teams and to play at a higher level, its all part of the circle!

Well with the final meeting to count towards averages on Wednesday for 2026, it gives us food for thought…. Cairns 3.81 Lawson 9.59 Rowe 7.38 Zach 7.34

My understanding is he was propping it up by £12k to £13k a meeting - these were his losses after gate receipts. Operating costs for Premiership home meetings begin with a 2 almost a 3 in some cases

Stal making Czestochowa release their team news so they can then do a two man swap for Vaculik and Thomsen and make them nullify PP and Doyle 😁😂

nice to know you think about us when you sleep at night. 🤣

As expected RR for Ellis is way below what he would usually score. They need him back for September.

We both were a little out, either way. 😄

Until he saw the pound signs and sold up to a see you next Tuesday who killed the club in under two years

The others were already bald!

It certainly looks like it.They wouldn't get the extra 5% on his average for their home matches then,and would have to have a guest if he isn't fit.

A good night's racing and a confidence booster for the Tigers with the play-offs looming and Leicester looking the likely opponents in the semis. Embarrassing comments in this thread about Steady though. His record as manager of both Sheffield and Great Britain is pretty decent with Championship, Premiership and KO Cup, plus 2 SON titles. Just imagine what he could have achieved if he knew what he was doing !!

Emil Vs Kvech… nice little battle for a couple of laps.

Solid night’s work for the guys, no big guns in 15, got to give Brennan his dues he rode like a number 5 tonight and his bike was like a rocket! Edwards great battle to hold off Iversen in 8. Thompson looked more like his usual foxhall self in his first outing but tailed off. Emil and Doyle looked good without really needing to break a sweat. Picked up three points and move onto the next.

Adam could be at reserve according to the averages on the British speedway website. Think you should have some scope to have your top 5 wherever you want.

According to the BSPA averages after tonight,Lawson's average is too high even for the one at Ipswich.

Guessing new averages for Sept, but atm he can only guest for Adam at Ipswich. Have to wait to see if that changes?

thats really poor 👎

Luckily I didn’t hear that otherwise I suspect words would have been exchanged - like you say great servant sadly you have your Wallopers!

A decent night’s racing with Jack looking pretty imperious and a fairly comfortable win despite both Chris and Picko not being quite as on it as usual. Cracking ride by Morris to second on the line. If I was going to whinge… what was with the booing of Howarth when he won his final ride?? Only a few people, but seriously? Brilliant servant of the club for years, he deserves better than that.

He certainly was drawn towards it - just pipped his opponent by a nose!

Well Nick does like to get to the line as soon as he can! 😉

Enjoyed this also - the tone was set on heat one with the 5-1 - another decent opening ride from Anders Rowe! Leicester huffed and puffed a bit and they didn’t have the needed backup for Douglas and Fricke - got to commend Jack H for his heat 6 last lap overtake of Sam Masters - Likewise the impressive Morris who never gave up in heat 14 to claim 2nd in the line by fractions of a second! Heat 15 saw a good battle at Fricke tried to reel in JackH just failing - just one more lap and he might have but that’s ‘if yer Aunty had balls territory’!

He wasn’t allowed lol

Always liked THJ as a Pirate, dont remember him missing many meetings other than through injury.
