Reading various Books and articles it would seem that Speedway was always subsidised by Dugards business when they ran it to the tune of up to 50k a year and that the four of five others who have sub-let have all lost significant amounts of money. It is ideal for weekend action you'd think but a really hard place to get to without a Car in the week and after work. Ball park 1000 seems to be the guess but of course ball park 1000 in the Championship would probably mean 1500 required in the PL and from all the information available that would seem to have been unachievable since the boom times in the 70's and 80's Whoever takes it on is going to have to have deep pockets, but that applies to almost any Track with the probable exception of Poole and Ipswich that attract the biggest crowds and biggest sponsors.

Something tells me we’re going to see a much better league generally, teams and team strengths. Onwards and upwards.

Confirmed line-ups around 5.30pm and live updates from 6pm.

Tuned in to this, cracking meeting! Both the inside AND the outside were working well in terms of passing potential. Proves there’s nothing wrong with the shape, it’s all down to preparation. Why can’t they be consistent with it? A few of the riders have been having a whinge that it’s different every week they go there, why? They stumbled upon a formula that works last night either through luck of judgment, stick with it!

something tells me we will see more than 6 teams next season

I’d say it’s almost impossible to leave out King as well. The head says it’s not sensible after a fantastic season if you want to build a title winning team, his average is once again at the awkward stage. But the heart says he deserves his place if he wants it which I’m sure he will. Musielak has been great, but King is rider of the year for me. Much maligned by a section of the fan base, but he’s piped them right down this year. Woryna Musielak King +4 Would have loved to have seen Woryna on that track last night by the way, that would have been, interesting! Edit: I’d fit Ellis back in as well for his Foxhall scoring alone. Great interview from him last night where he spoke of Ipswich being his “Speedway home” in the UK and he loves coming back here every time. He’s a fantastic character as well and great for team spirit in the pits. Woryna Musielak King Ellis +3 We’re getting there 😁

I don't believe they try any less here - UK speedway is actually quite difficult due to the variety of tracks which are not as easy to ride as those in Poland but there is definitely less at risk if they have a poor race/score.

Team building plans for 2027 whatever the league format, whatever the team limit, whatever his average should be: Tobi Musielak + 6 other. Absolutely class again tonight and just great entertainment.

Does anyone know what crowd level is needed to run speedway at Eastbourne?

Well now Kings Lynn are out of the play offs, Max is available for Sheffield.

After the farcical situation British Speedway was in at the start of the season , it was said that there would be a meeting mid season to determine the strategy for next year with the likely rider shortage created by possible Polish legislation. All I have read in the Speedway Star is that most Championship teams are happy and not looking to move into the Premiership. The silence seems to suggest they are all waiting for Poland Speedway to determine what they are planning as regulations and go from there.

Considering how much Wroclaw have forked out for Bewleys rehab & return from injury for their cause.. I can't see anyone other than Doyle wearing #5 for Aces for the rest of the season.

We never doubt his points scoring unlike Batch!

I sat that on X wasn't sure whether it meant the sport or speedway in Poland and was lost in translation. Could it have been in response to sitting at reserve in the SWC ??? He returned from injury this season and just didn't get an opportunity to build his confidence. Got bombed out by Bydgoscz early and struggled at #1 at Ipswich to gain any momentum. When I have seen clips from socials he will have a great race and then fail to score or runs a 3rd place.Just inconsistent but not for the want of trying and lacks some confidence , needs to get to the end of the season and then a take time out and the come back stronger next season whether that in Poland , UK or wherever.

Are there any options to replace Edward’s? I like the guy but he is not showing much premier league form. We could do with 2 new reserves

Excellent meeting. Plenty of passing, best of the season by far and all done in 85 minutes. Sheffield were up for it and Everyone knew they were in a fight and gave it their all. Everyone that is apart from Edwards who was shocking. Throttling off before he even got to the bend.

Artem Laguta 18 points (over)

Adverts?

these guys known where the bread is buttered.Look at Blodorm beating World Stars in Poland last night,but just making sure he is Ok for next week in Poland( Team Orders no doubt).

Excellent meeting tonight, Lawson really tried his hardest in heat 13 and was a great race with Picko. Brennan really is a disappointment this season and Édwards doesn't seem to do well when the track is slicker. Ipswich's reserves will cost them in the play offs if they get there. Picko in heat 15, ha, gave up on lap 1, I'd be unimpressed if I was a tigers fan or manager.

Looking at the table I presume Lynn have to win both their remaining matches to catch us?

It's Glasgow -- isn't it to display whether you're a Billy or a Tim?

Some good racing tonight. Full credit to a depleted Sheffield. Tobi really is a joy to watch and it’s great to see him enjoying himself again

Out of the country so watched the stream for the first time. Must admit it was pretty decent from start to finish and professional enough to keep you interested. The racing was really good too.
