That's a Gavan post if ever I have seen one😁

We can always hope Drew has a meeting like he did at Poole tonight

Yeah i think he did? Poole didnt have a meeting that week so only affected Ipswich. Edit - checked on updates was sick on 6th July and on the thursday that week they had r/r for him.

JJ a good guest for Glasgow. Only other ones be King or Nicholls but might not fancy long journey back down to Plymouth for the next day.

Poole very rarely put a poor team together and it is not all about money.

Lawson would've git a 7 day ban for being too ill to race for Poole, but as he was too ill to race in Denmark instead he didn't get to ban. Ludicrous situation. I don't remember him getting a 7 day ban for missing an Ipswich match, unless my memory is failing me?

Well everyone else is wrong lol! Poole could have replaced Bowes anytime if they had a suitable replacement lined up. Plus I don't think there's a single Champ club who would replace a 5 pointer with a NL rider. Poole are clearly stronger without Bowes, but have done no wrong.

Very different situation with Bowes, as he was injured, Poole didn't "get rid of him". They are fortunate his average didn't drop a lot so can choose good guests, but the rules allow them to do that, they don't need to sign a replacement. I think there should be a limit on how long a club can use a guest to cover an injury, but can't blame Poole for making the best of the rules. I would say guests for injuries is far more acceptable, than guests for riders racing elsewhere.

Thanks. Will be attending Friday's meeting with Poole so will have a look.

If a rider is injured (which Gilkes is) I believe you can make changes after the deadline

Fact or speculation? Thought it was said that it was too late for changes.

I didn’t criticise anything. I simply replied to your comment. Also Berwick don’t own the stadium, but have improved it.

Has he even come over to Europe this summer? Is he racing in Poland? Edit - looking at his Facebook page for his racing he rode in a meeting in Aus in June. Can’t imagine he would come all the way from Aus for a handful of meetings.

Not sure Kemp did! 👀🙈

Apologies, i forgot about Scunny! But yes i have bought the Scunny stream before.

The literally closest racing was between Morris and Kemp, lovely move? well I thought so.

So it's alright to criticise Pooles Wimborne Road circet but as soon as I mention Berwicks track then that's not ok. What exactly do you want Poole to do with the track as we don't own the stadium . To widen the track without knowing how many more seasons there are left at the stadium doesn't make sense as well as the cost.

Meeting report: 'Racing in the East' NORA British Pairs Championship - Mildenhall 25/7/26 The tightest of finishes (not without a dose of controversy) on Saturday 25th. July at Mildenhall Stadium saw the inaugural 'Racing in the East' NORA British Speedway Championship Pairs title go the way of the Kent Eagles, edging out Cradley in the Grand Final after a heavy crash involving Man of the Meeting, Seth Norman. The 15-year-old Norman had a sensational run of victories beating the hugely-experienced Ben Morley, Alfie Bowtell and Simon Lambert in successive races to ensure the Heathens pairing finished level on points after the qualifying heats with the Eagles, setting up an exciting dénouement. Sadly the Final was to end in painful disappointment for Norman though – crashing out on the third bend of the first lap, with the trailing Jack Kingston then running into the fallen teenager. The initial decision was to exclude Kingston much to the confusion of all watching on and a Speedway version of VAR (using footage recorded of the incident) was applied by the referee to correct his earlier mistaken interpretation of the crash. That effectively ended the Black Country side’s chances of a surprise victory and Norman himself ended the night in hospital with a nasty abrasion and back injury. Third place went the way of the Wisbech Cross Keys duo of Mickie Simpson and Sam Woods – the European Grasstrack Finalist Simpson delivering a hat trick of race wins himself, including one terrific scrap with the home pairing’s number one, Bowtell. Young Aussie World Women’s Championship number four, Tayla Street showed well from the gate in a number of her rides but was caught out by a track she’d never seen before and so was unable to contribute points to add to her partner Lambert’s individual haul of 13. The crowd were also entertained (and responded very enthusiastically to) the awesome sight of the two 1000cc Right Hand Sidecar Speedway bikes piloted by the country’s two leading exponents of this comeback formula, Paul Whitelam and Will Penfold. Next up for the Mildenhall Fen Tigers is on Saturday August 15th. with Kent Eagles visiting West Row, this time as a full team in the second leg of the major NORA League competition of 2026, the Pioneer Cup.

What exactly would you like Berwick to do short of cutting seats from the stands or chopping bits off football pitch that without there would be no stadium. The corners were widened but with such narrow straights the capabilities of the stadium are limited. The track prep has been impressive this year especially with the aforementioned football teams regularly playing on a Saturday.

Sleep tight

I heard tonight Zach is not there on Saturday, Jason Edwards guesting, Lewi will be happy 😂

Thank you Mystery solved , I missed a email with the SGP 2 tickets attached , oops

Considering the injuriesthat are listed in the Speedway Star I doubt Holder will be back this season. "I broke my humerous pretty good + had to have an operation on that. I've also broken my right foot, my right ankle + a couple of ribs". "I also broke the sacrum bone in my pelvis. That's probably the worst one right now. It's uncomfortable to sit down". "When I crashed my arm was pointing the other way amd something with my back was uncomfortable ....."

So you don't watch the Scorpions stream, or BSN when they are at the EWR for great racing on a well prepared track?

Siggy was my childhood idol. Can vividly remember crying all day long when he was forced to retire through his ankle injury! Was a serious threat to the Danish dominance of the 80’s before that incident. Beaten Nielsen in the run off of the most lucrative meeting ever allegedly at the time, the British Open in 82 which was the standard of the world final itself, then topped the British League averages on 10.99 in 83 and was on an upward trajectory. Then came that accident in 84 that cut his career stone dead. We’ll obviously never know for sure but I’m convinced he would have stopped Nielsen and Gundersen from dominating the world Championship between them in the 80’s.
