Grand Final Dates Oct 15 Poole vs Glasgow Oct 17 Glasgow vs Poole (From the Poole website)

Fair enough SS. Would you like Poole to have another crack at the Premiership or prefer the Championship action?

Big difference between a track which is usually excellent being poor now and again and a track which is usually poor being excellent now and again.

Hopefully something gets sorted there and quickly. A fine club Sheffield Wednesday.

Thanks for mentioning the fact that due to probably one of the, if not the, worst owners in football history, Sheffield Wednesday have a chance of not existing any time soon

He will be super lucky to ride tomorrow with how he was walking after the match and how he was greeting the fans with his jacket on. I’d suspect RR tomorrow once he wakes up tomorrow with the pain.

RIP

Until 2026.

Flew up a couple of years ago when cop26 was on. Travel Lodge at £650 a night. 😛 Too far, easy to watch stream. Yes it’s rubbish to being there but too just too far.

You have to go to Glasgae Shovvy fly up. You are loaded could buy Sheffield if you wanted to!

No passing tonight after second bend in 15 heats. As each lap went on riders got more spaced out. I didn’t find it dull due to what was at stake, but for a neutral it must have been a very poor watch. But Redcar only have themselves to blame. The overwatering took away any home advantage, rendering Wright and Kings passing ability obsolete. What were they seriously thinking? They went into tonight’s meeting as clear favourites. I was thinking the worst at heat one but when Thomsen gated and held off Wright, I thought, hmmm, perhaps we might be in with a sniff. Wright and King had a terrible meeting. There was no consistency with any Redcar rider. I bet next week the track is completely different and will suit the Redcar team much better. Pirates will need a bigger lead to take back up there.

They didn't have Nagel then and he is a riders who is going places in the sport but after tonight anything is possible.

This is the place for 2026 season news.

Most on here care but it is probably those in charge who have lost touch with what supporters of this particular two wheeled sport want. SON was in the most part boring except for the underdogs in Germany taking a title. It seems that speedway has lost its way at international level and has become very insular from a local league level. It will take something or someone special to pull the sport together at the highest level and as long as the riders and not not the authorities dictate when and how meetings take place and what conditions it is on a downward trajectory. Someone needs to get a grip particularly in the UK as the current set up is failing all genuine supporters.

Ermmmmm, remind who knocked Glasgow out of the Cup?????🤔

As per tbe Regulations 010.5 FACILITIES A Reduced facility (No Facility in British Development) only, is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a re-declaration has not made an appearance for that team since being re-declared. However, the team has the option to revert to the previous declaration. A team may utilise a facility to cover the absence of a rider(s) who is: - a) FIM World Speedway Championship and FIM World Long Track duty b) FIM Speedway of Nations / FIM Speedway World Cup duty c) FIME Speedway Championship duty d) the riders own FMN National Championship e) engaged elsewhere at a BSP LTD shared or purchased meeting f) recalled in accordance with the FIM SLB regulations g) injured whilst speedway racing This must be recorded on the Meeting Report by the Referee. This facility will apply automatically for a period up to a maximum of 28 days. The Promotion may apply to the SCB Co-Ordinator for an extension. If a rider has not declared illness or injury to the Referee before the closure of the meeting, as per the Meeting Report, subsequently provides a medical certificate, they will receive a mandatory 7 day suspension of their SCB Registration h) sick or carrying a non-speedway injury. The rider must immediately inform the SCB and their club. A Medical Certificate must be supplied to the SCB within 48 hours of the sickness/injury occurring in which case the rider will receive a mandatory 7 day suspension of his SCB Registration from the day of the first meeting missed. This facility will apply automatically for a period up to a maximum of 28 days. The Promotion may apply to the SCB Co-Ordinator for an extension i) suspended by the FIM, ACU, SCB or riders FMN j) in dispute with his club, provided that the circumstances have been accepted by the SCB Co-Ordinator who will determine the facility and period of the riders inactivity k) retiring during the current season a facility will be granted for a period of 28 days. After which the team must re-apply for a further facility to the SCB Co-Ordinator outlining the steps they have taken to find a replacement. An extension may be granted. In these circumstances a rider cannot return to ride for any club within 28 days, effective from the date of notification to the SCB l) a Championship rider who’s own FMN does not have a current agreement with the BSP LTD and is competing in another FMN’s National, League or Open Meeting. This will result in the riders SCB Registration being suspended for one (1) season and the riders team will be automatically granted a facility for a maximum period of 28 days, after which that team must re-declare m) awaiting medical clearance from the riders FMN n) NDL and NDT only: absent for any other reason - applicable to riders 18 years old and under, providing 3 days’ notice is given o) a rider with an assessed MA p) has been approved in a teams declared 1-7 at the start of the season but due to extenuating circumstances is not available, a facility may be granted, up to a maximum of 28 days, at the SCB Co-Ordinators discretion. In the NDL and NDT this only applies if the rider was in that teams 1-7 at the close of the previous season Therefore, I would imagine that Poole were granted a facility under subsection p) There is a distinction between PL / Championship , and NDL/NDT,

But your happy to be over critical of the Poole track.

I did think that, but didn’t want to be overly critical.

Oh my how I'm gonna enjoy me celebration flat white ☕ in the morning. Might go the whole hog and av jam on me toast! 😂

Unfortunately that is it until 2026. Thanks to all the riders, clubs, officials, broadcasters, forum members, particularly Racers & Royals and Stewmac and all in involved in the Polish league racing, it has been great watching all the meetings here in the UK and hopefully many will get the opportunity to turn up at tracks in Poland next year to experience all that is great about the sport of Speedway.

Redcar was a bit boring tonight wasn't it? Glasgow should win the final overall, they have 5 heat leaders!!

Doesn't really matter which teams are or aren't involved, its the inconsistency that gets to people. I was under the impression you could have guests for pretty much anything in the NL & NDT anyway, obviously not!

Yes maybe!! I was fearing the worst after heat one but he rode well and looked really quick.

The locals were out in the town center in the week in their 1000s celebrating the teams extraleague win

Poole do it again. I hate to say it, but when the chips are down, the Pirates know how to do it. Against the odds, they won on aggregate at Ashfield and against the odds, they’ve won again tonight; not only on aggregate, but on the evening. Without their talisman on both occasions. Poole were consistent throughout, but you’re disappointed by Wright, Mulford and King - especially King - if you’re a Redcar fan. On that note and having given Poole a lot of praise in this post, I’m gutted it’s them. Yes, an opportunity for revenge, but that Wimborne Road track doesn’t deserve a final. It’s boring. Completely and utterly boring.
