Brought to the top as someone would have asked if i hadn’t have done !!

Jonny Wynant is injured so they say.

Never liked double meetings personally.

Have it for both and get it over in one shot

Very weak round in my opinion.

BSPA had changed fixture Sunday to K. O cup first leg as is on Poole website but now has reverted back to Play Off semi 2nd leg. So who is correct? Also changed to Cup on BSN now so probably its just the BSPA who dont know what they are doing!

Wonder why he’s pulled out considering he’s at the stadium.

Really? I stand corrected in that case. My apologies. I’m led to believe Poland is where the money is and Workington’s financial troubles have been well documented this season, so I’m sure you can see where I put two and two together.

Poland haven't been paying lots of riders in ALL leagues, why do you assume it's worky's fault, I know some issues reared it's head mid season, but surely the promotion would be sqeekey clean after that

Generally speaking, the winner of SGP2 is way behind a regular GP1 rider. After winning GP2 series and GP after GP getting beat by top riders could demoralise the young lad and set him back. When Martin Vaculick came to GP1 he did well initially....but then didn't bother with GP1 fora few years to give himself time to mature as a rider. He came back into GP1, with more experience, came 2nd in GP1 just couple years ago. Sadly this year not performed too well, maybe he carrying an injury or something. Just after Fricke winning SGP2 came Drabik and Smektala, between them they won 3 GP2 on the trot. Neither of them yet in the GP1 series full time, Jaimon Lidsey the same. I think Jan Kvech was 2nd in GP2 just 3 or 4 years ago, he will come back in 2 or 3 years better then he is now, hes picked up the experience.... it was just too soon for him.

Are the likes of Bewley, Kurtz, Fricke and Doyle based in the UK? What about Lambert?

Oh dear, so that rules him out of the...*checks notes* Premiership PO final. The guy has explicitly told everyone his season is over and they've responded by banning him for 28 days. Shambles.

Not with a clown like him they don’t.

Really poor from Bowes, if that’s the case. Then again and I’m playing Devil’s advocate here, but if he hasn’t been paid - as can easily be assumed from his statement - then perhaps a single inconvenience is all it took for the toys to leave the pram. Either way, it isn’t good for the sport.

Because they need every rider possible to fill up the teams...

Don’t want him learning his trade here then pis*ing off abroad.

Another rider who thinks he’s above the sport. Don’t even bother coming over here next year, you won’t be missed that’s for sure.

From what I hear transport was arranged to take the bikes to Poole, but the rider forgot or did not want to arrange transport to get himself to Poole. So no fault of worky . Also the ban is meaningless as the season is over, why can't it be rolled over to the 2026 season

U19 final still to come at the GT tyres Northside arena . Team finals who wants to see them 😛 By the way good luck to all pilots opposition teams in the finals 😁

So many questions, in an ideal world the One League system is the way to go but it will have a dramatic effect on the way it operates with costs etc. No way will the likes of Kurtz , Bewley , Fricke , Doyle etc be able to ride in such a League even the so called lesser riders like Masters, Lawson, Harris (Heat leaders in both leagues) prefer and demand to ride in two British league sides to make a living. Its a complicated and sad way the British Leagues have evolved.

Would the sprints be better if both riders started opposite each other on the straights and shown on a split screen like they do with cycling

British speedway is so depleted that as a spectacle, one league is the only solution. The issue is subsequently whether or not this is viable for those who double up - Harris, Masters, Lawson, etc. - and most alarmingly, whether or not there are a sufficient amount of riders to build as many teams as one big league requires. Although probably necessary, reducing teams to five riders seems tinpot.

The Sprint Races were only brought in to make the qualifying session watchable, which was fair enough imo because if there's Speedway on the Tv I'm going to watch it. The trouble is that the broadcast is that poorly put together it's barely worth watching and to just a sprinkling of people watching it live at the stadium is just embarassing!

The winner of the SGP2 should definitely be nowhere near the main SGP series, it's generally years before they're anywhere near the level required to be in the main series if ever at all. The last WU21 Champion currently in the series is Max Fricke who won it in 2016, it's taken him 10 years to get from that level to his current level and he's still relying on wild cards to qualify.

Cloak and dagger stuff from Bowes on Facebook. Very poorly written. ”I love speedway, I ride in Poland, it’s been a busy season, I was criticised in Poland, I wanted to be at Poole, my season is over”.. What? There’s such an emphasis put on Poland - the sparring match, the U24 spot, someone called Marek’s comments, etc. - that you assume the target of the statement is Poland. I can only assume the reference to clubs struggling financially and riders not being paid is in regard to Workington. Were the difficulties with travel to Poole the straw that broke the camel’s back? Who knows?
