What a sh*tshow of a season.... No wonder the SGB Premiership Speedway League Thread has so many other topics to pad it out...

1 point each... move on

Absolute disgrace. Should have been given till atleast 3pm tomorrow before the call-off. Leicester should be investigated. I wouldn't be going anyway, in fact I'd never be going to this but on the British Speedway Forum, my opinion, and only my opinion matters. Proper shady this?!? Hopefully the BSPL award Ipswich the 3 points.

No it’s not. Latest GSAs show Cairns at 4.93 and Bowes at 5.05. Newman is at 5.03. This team just looks stronger every day. Will someone redeclare and challenge them?

Also shows Kyle Howarth at 7 for Poole 😂

Interesting listening to Lemo on the Tatum Talks podcast where he mentioned that the 2024 SoN was a financial disaster and that (speaking in the week prior to the GP events) there were still 800 tickets available for the Friday night (just the £80,000)!

Morgan Williams in for Cluff tonight? Live Updates – British Speedway Official Website

He's only done 17 qualifying meetings so far (needs to have done 20), presumably?! His official GSA will surely come into effect for July.....

Re-arranged: July 6th 1 home match since May the 4th, next home match July 2nd!

Although Cairns average is higher on the averages it is lower on the latest championship declarations. It will most likely change when the next declarations are issued.

Due to high cost of the bus trip, £40 per adult, most people go by car as it is cheaper, folk that don't drive miss out unless they can share cost with drivers. We used to get families on the coach but numbers have dwindled dramatically over last few years and costs increased. I always went on supporters bus but at approximately £80 per trip inclusive of food , entrance etc. I will be watching the stream this time round, too expensive when on a pension.

Surely they’d be on vinyl or cd?? Arfwit by name, arfwit by nature.

Looking at the current team GSAs, Poole at 45+ do have a 4 point advantage over Edinburgh. So good on paper at least, we'll see tonight how they match up on track weather permitting.(Looking hopeful on my phone). Can somebody explain why Cairns isn't also in the main team as his GSA is now higher than Bowes'?

Did you notice if they had any DVDs by the Boom Town Rats 😂

Get Barry on the blower. If there’s dough to be made he may be interested. Never know, his family may be speedway fans from yesteryear.

I was down in Poole last Wednesday on a lovely bright and breezy day when you postponed your solitary junior development event of the season 😉

"Nigel! Hello Nigel!!! What do you think?".... A London Stadium GP would easily deliver 50,000 fans I would think... Tens of thousands from defunct London clubs whose fans still fondly remember the sport.. Admittedly, most will be well over 80, but you live longer these days don't you?... Also, a London GP would transform the sport in the wider UK... Almost overnight, dozens of business people will invest millions into purchasing land and more millions in building tracks... Just like the way sport has grown so much since Cardiff came onto the scene, it will be a huge success... Cardiff, when Wembley was being rebuilt, was the highest focused stadium in the country, hence UK Speedway was able to piggy back off this media focus and grow like it has for the last two decades or so... I can see a Saturday GP at the London Stadium being a huge success for both the series and UK Speedway in particular... Buxton could even run a meeting the next day... Easily 5,000 there I would think given the nation will have suddenly realised the night before that Speedway is still going...

But mainly Leicester!!

Just thought you might be interested in the DVD, sorry for being considerate.

How do you know this? Maybe the novelty wore off, or the field did not entice, or people just felt they'd done it - that was the car with a couple of my friends.

And High Beech wasn't a patch on the Maitland Showground in Australia.... Maybe they should run a GP there to relaunch Aussie Speedway and make the sport a huge success over there?.. I am sure that running a one off meeting there will have a 10,000 crowd attending Mildura through the season each meeting....

Teams not that great this year, the new-co glory hunters won’t be out. 😄

Wow, he is obsessed, we won the double the following year!

Nope not at all, plenty of success since then

Cant be any poorer than last visit.Reid was the match winner on that occasion will miss his scoring for sure.
