Potentially they could just save them for the super heat instead of having them in H15. I guess it depends what result is needed for a superheat at the time. Personally I don't mind a superheat, reason we got though to BSN SFs. Otherwise it would have been Scunthorpe. 🤷‍♀️😄

Always seems to deliver great racing.... The secret is? .. Build your track around an American Football pitch like Wroclaw and the NSS did...

I think he is a raffle winner.....

You wouldn't get anything in Poundland for Hojlund.

Yes, I'm one of those that have proposed it. That then does at least then make it more of a "team" effort.

what a load of tripe, i was there, the aces fans were very vocal and loud, programme boards were waved and flasks of tea were spilled on the terraces

I was thinking Haaland for Hojlund....

Great idea a couple of guests😁 in from Liverpool and Arsenal

He can't, because there isn't any. As you said, spouted the same BS on the Wimbledon thread. Was asked time and again to tell us what proof he had and the silence was deafening.

Saw people leaving early last night probably wasn't anything to do with the score at the time but due to the time and the over use of the tractors which probably done as many laps as the bikes.

I was down as a comets fan, got to agree crowd levels are a lot better than the same fixture last year, so bigger crowd equals more spending in food/drink outlets, so win win for the promotion, the announcer was good, the mascot interaction with the crowd was good not over the top, and acknowledged the travelling comets fans, some interesting races, if a Plymouth or neutral fan, but not as a comets fan ☹️ one negative the length of the track grade and interval, it took over 2.5 hours to complete 15 heats of speedway, yesterday heat 14 was re run umpteen times,but 150 minutes to do 15 heats come on ☹️ hopefully back to Plymouth next year with the comets

And then move on to guests? United could definitely do with some.... "Where Speedway leads, the rest follow".... A nice slogan....

It has been proposed before, by myself and others, that the riders in Heat 15 would not be eligible for a Super Heat. That would negate a 2 x Big Guns team's advantage.

I think it's just a payday for most of the riders, sadly

To an extent, they never have. Did Johnnie Hoskins' teams win all the time? Not at all, but they always pulled in big crowds, intent on enjoying the whole entertainment package. Where speedway has gone awry is preventing clubs from putting on extra fun'n'games (partly to do with H&S) -- and riders unwilling to participate in them

Maybe the FA could adopt it? Add a bit of spice to the coin toss for ends 😀

First and last visit to Perry Barr last night! As a Somerset and now a Plymouth fan I saw my best meeting of the season so far at the Coliseum on Saturday and possibly the worst one last night! Gate and go by Sheffield for easy easy win but Birmingham just couldn't make a start. Track was awful, was stood between start gate and first bend in front of the grandstand and it was like Motocross bumping into bend one. Quite amazed only Jeppesen fell! I can imagine the Barker nomination in heat 15 was that he was up for it when others weren't. You always get max effort from Ben but it certainly wasn't a surface that he thrives on! My son said when are they using a tac sub but in honesty it wouldn't have made any difference. Probably the easiest max Jack has ever scored and probably same goes for Leon too. Picko was good value as always and managed one of the only passes of the night around the outside. Finally the guy on the centre green, how quicky did he want to announce the riders on parade and why bother talking over the final lap of a race????

MDL CHAMPIONS WOLVES COME FROM BEHIND TO VICTORY OVER THE BUFFALOES 2025 Midland Development League champions the WOLVES were given a tough battle by the SUPPORTERS CLUB BUFFALOES who led 13-11 with two heats to go. But their chances of snatching a win were hit by a first bend fall by skipper Eli Meadows and the WOLVES posted a 5-1 to lead for the first time 16-14. Harrison Rogers ensure victory with a decisive pass of the unbeaten Max Broadhurst with guest Joe Crewe covering for the unavailable Dylan Huthwaite getting the better of Will Boraston to secure the Wolves a 20-16 win. Harley Driscoll-Freeman had his best return of the season for the champions with paid 7. After the meeting three of the regular Wolves were presented with their league winning medals and skipper Ryan Ashcroft the MDL shield . The clash concludes a highly successful MDL season where the progress of all riders has been marked with several getting National League team spots . The final track action for the MDL riders is next Monday August 11th when the Alan Grahame memorial individual is staged . In the supporting 125cc races Oscar Berwick won his three heats whilst girl racer Lily Bence was unbeaten in her three outings with Cody Smith notching three second spot and AJ Bence was down on power but completed his three outings. WOLVES 20 ( Harrison Rogers 3r 6+1.

yes he was gifted a point when Jeppesen fell in his first ride where he moved at the start then missed it (and had a warning from the ref after the heat) but after that he was in the mix every race. Another couple of meetings and he is going to make a lot of doubter's eat there words.

I stopped attending KL after the fiasco a few years back against Leicester when they only had 1 ambulance at the track and the meeting was held up for over an hour before being abandoned... I then gave them a reprieve when they ran into difficulties after the Brady/Laguta issues and started going again, only to be rewarded by going over from Leicester 3 times last season and not seeing a single meeting raced... needless to say they are back on my banned list again.

It looks a good nights entertainment at Plymouth.Results don’t really matter these days.

It's not something I can't get too excited about either way tbh... on the one hand I do enjoy an extra heat with pretty high stakes, a whole league point... but on the other hand it seems a pretty easy way to get a league point with the one race that normally would take 15 to achieve and is obviously stacked in favour of the team that has 2 big guns. On balance, it's probably not something the sport "needed"

Heat 8 looked bad especially when you see Mulford who was not great miles in front.

Hey Roger by my reckoning using the score sheet even if Lidsey had won his first 2 races, we would still have been 6 points behind by heat 7 so would have still been able to use Brady as a T/S. so based on that and the fact R/R only got 5 points, i think it safe to assume that BV won have almost certainly won a drawn meeting with Lidsey riding. Glad to clear it up:)

From the early days of Mr Bowden to where plymouth are now. It's like chalk and cheese. Yes the current promotion have made a few questionable decisions along the way. But right now Pkymouth speedway is probably in the best place it's been in recent years. Plymouth is hindered by its location (although it's always been here,as far as im aware ) and transport infrastructure. On a positive note regarding Klindt,with all the guests used,the management are in a good position to see who rides the arena well for next year.
