I actually thought it threw up some interesting racing. Again it looks better being there to see it live rather than on tv. The control some of those lads had for their experience level was superb. Especially as it’s the first time most of them had riden Foxhall competitively. Thir attitude & willingness to attack the track certainly shows up some of the pro riders attitude.

The guys who are high 30’s in age must be breathing a sigh of relief that they don’t have to worry about the future of speedway! Speedway in Poland over the next few years will start to decline due to riders rinsing the clubs for money and it’s finally showing that clubs can’t sustain it. I heard one U24 rider wanted 1 million zloty to sign for stal, not naming anyone direct, but stal quickly said this shows the mindset of riders and what they think they can demand, and no the rider in question wasn’t someone worthy of 1 million zloty!

Tai’s story is being sold with SGP not British speedway next year 😉

Is that a serious question lol?

The meeting was abandoned due to curfew. The pairs race does not officially stand, although Kev on the centre green said Ipswich will recognise the result. Cooper was who most people went tonight to watch let’s be honest and he didn’t disappoint, best moves made by him and best bike control when he almost ended up on the stock car track. To finish 2nd only to a Premiership rider isn’t a bad nights work. I’m sure Mr Louis will have his eye on him. Probably a crowd of 200/300? The back straight stand was almost empty with everyone choosing to stand on bends one and two which is normally underneath the cameras, or in the smaller start line stand, I was there so can’t say how it looked on TV. Ipswich held the best 2025 crowd last week (including Manchester SGP), tonight was more like our equivalent crowd for SoN 😂

Last time I walked past your vehicle at Hi Edge you were trackside with your Brother with a bag of Werthers Originals on the dashboard😉You never wound down the window to offer me one🤔

The White Knight started following 200 + riders !!!!

Maybe that is the way Speedway is going right now, unfortunately.

Maybe those are the reasons why the county championship gets little to no media coverage these days with only the occasional match shown on Sky Sports these days.

Yes you are right and all second half meetings should be using these riders. Take it for what it is, which is those trying to make a way in the sport. It has costs supporters nothing if you are watching the stream so I don’t see an issue. For the purist who only want league racing it is not for those followers. Credence for Ipswich and the mentors who have been on site offering help and advice and putting the meeting on. No different to some of the meetings in Poland with the junior riders. I really do not get those who criticise this level but each to their own.
-
Trouble is there is a disparity between the riders …. 7 riders who ride at championship level including Rushen and the rest out of their depth which makes it a poor spectacle Mulford shouldn’t be riding either Poole v Glasgow was shocking you can’t compare a league match to an individual where the field is anything but level

Is this goodbye to Abi? There’s always a silver lining.

Let's be honest though this is pretty pish poor Speedway, yes I know it's good to give the kids a chance and they're all giving it their best efforts etc. I've been trawling through last night's Poole topic while watching this and quite frankly the Speedway tonight is no better than last night and everybody on that topic has gone into meltdown! What's on offer tonight really should be 2nd half stuff (at all senior meetings)
