Also, I have a feeling this will mean that Dan T and Ellis swap again... Am I right in thinking that the Sheffield fixture will adjust the averages, but the playoff don't?

1 hour ago, IainB said: I do feel some people are going a bit overboard on the cancelations, Does that mean some supporters are viewing from the sea.

So Emil will be done with playoffs in Poland then

No chance you can have 15 riders as possible challengers … whoever gets i someone has to finish 10th and someone 15th Is Doyle one of the top 15 riders in the world? Is Fricke? Is Michelsen? Answers are yes…… doesn’t mean any of them will make the podium

But the season isn’t “Over” is it? 🙄 Couldn’t have said that better myself. This sport collectively attracts the most miserable buggers on earth unfortunately. Whinge after whinge after whinge. Speedway in Britain has always had a finishing date of October 31st. There’s plenty of time to fit in any remaining fixtures. We at Ipswich used to run fixtures right up until Halloween in the not too distant past, with people dressing up in Halloween costumes and prizes awarded to the best outfit!

Trouble is with an Indian summer is all them arrows on the track causing tyre punctures can be awfully dangerous.So really up against it whichever way it goes.

It was the right decision at Poole too, just because as it turned out they could of raced doesnt make it a bad decision.

Witnessed yesterdays match in Poland where they rolled back their track covers for the meeting to go ahead.

Maybe you should stop believing what your tel-lie-vison tells you

Maybe if Putin is put back in his place then maybe

Ah, the days of Dave Jessup!

SoN in Manchester October 2021, a lovely weekend, July 2024 pished it down all week!

I don’t mind making myself look silly because majority of other people do as well… unless you’re perfect 😉 !

But then again, we could have an 'Indian summer' and have better track conditions in October than in August and September. A few years back I was on holiday in Suffolk in October and we had bright sunshine and daytime temperatures of 18 degrees. On the other hand, I remember an August one year when I went to stock car meetings with heavy rain that would have called off a speedway meeting on all 5 Saturday's in the month.

It does become more of a lottery weather wise the further you go through September and October but some of the best Speedway matches I've seen have been under lights on a crisp autumn night. With PL clubs limiting themselves to 2 race nights per week, without track covers, they are just increasing their chances of not being able to run.

Always best to wait for the official announcement of the dates, rather than making yourself look silly by ranting about something you have made up in your head. 😉

It’s is just my opinion.

I understand what you say but my argument is that you push meeting to October and you’re asking for more issues in Britain, also, the difference from casual supporters turning up when the weather is bearable vs October freezing there arse off is night and day, this could impact the amount of people bothering to turn up and instead watching on TV in the warmth.

Yes, I could have been more clear, thanks

Revised details can now be confirmed for the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership play-offs following the postponement of Monday’s semi-final at Leicester. With the Lions’ opponents Sheffield electing to retain their regular home race night this week, the Tigers will stage what has become the first leg on Thursday September 18. The second leg of the semi-final will be at Leicester on Monday September 22, whilst Thursday September 25 will be held as a reserved date. The Grand Final will not start on this date. There is then a break for the FIM Speedway of Nations, with the Grand Final to take place on Monday October 6 (at Sheffield or Leicester) and Thursday October 9 (at Ipswich).

I do feel some people are going a bit overboard on the cancelations, especially in the PL. The season does not finish until the end of October, so there's still around 6 weeks to run 4 matches. The alternative is to finish up by the end of August... and people would be complaining about that. I think it's more imperative that clubs invest in track covers more than ever, with riders not wanting to ride at the slightest site of a wet track these days, track covers would certainly allow many of the fixtures to take place when there's been the 4 o'clock shower that leaves a track saturated and the sun is out at start time. The CL on the other hand, that does seem to be a bit more shambolic with all of their competitions still having a long way to run.

Ipswich won’t run a Thursday night, they only run on Monday bank holidays so naturally Leicester will get the Monday at home and Ipswich will end up with Thursday before hand for the first leg. Absolute shambles once again from Speedway, they will put it down to the weather and take no responsibility about sorting out more fixtures in summer months. We’ve had hardly any rain offs this summer so it would have been perfect to get more done, but we wait until crap weather comes in September and also try to cram it between the Toruń SON which starts in September as well. Add on top of that the fact the league didn’t even finish on time shows how much of a joke it really is.

Leszno confirm that Ben Cook, Zengota and Kolodziej will all stay with the club in 2026. Pickering is leaving for pastures new.

Are we assuming the guest is still Nick Morris? Have Redcar said yet?
