All Activity

People werent happy with me when I said our few good meetings could've just been a positive blip. Today's result shows we are not good enough. If we lose tomorrow, and then go to Glasgow on Friday and lose, we will have four losses on the bounce.

Etheridge injured and withdrawn at Scunthorpe tonight …. Nick Morris struggling as well…. Still don’t understand these changes

good luck to all concerned let's hope it comes to fruition 🙏🤞

Just to add something to the 'debate', a start marshall remains on the track when the ref starts each race as he walks away from the start line but still on the track. In fact when the start marshall has to use a pole/bollard on the line to stop the tapes from billowing, he has to return to the startline to remove the pole while the first lap of the race is in progress. Also aren't start marshalls, like refs, SCB accredited?

Absolutely embarrassing stuff. I thought it couldn't possible get worse than the first time around here. Its heading that way

Blown the 26 point aggregate lead after 8 heats, what a disaster!

There are plenty of fans and contributors to this forum that would like nothing more than for Swindon Speedway to return, myself included, but like you and many others that have been around this whole sorry saga from the start, know deep down that it is unlikely to ever happen, and as Swindon Council have always complied fully with Osborne, then have no doubt that the Abbey is sadly history once the formalities have been completed.One thing for sure the next few months are going to be very interesting following the the process.

That was a rather emotionless meeting at Czestochowa, in fact quite boring, in what used to be one of the hot spots of the Ekstraliga. The Ekstraliga this season fails to excite me, and I notice that crowds in the Polish stadia are significantly down this year. I've said it before and I say it again, the total dominance of Motor Lublin, and to a lesser extend Torun and Wroclaw, is doing the league no good.

Embarrassing performance again so far. Luckily, I didn't make the trip down this time round.

Not a good start, is the track always this bumpy?, geez! 🫣

It's a shame for Nick Moorish that Monarchs no longer ride at Powderhall 🤔

watch along

Yes there are minimum LUX levels of light that Sky/TNT have specified and in fact that is why Leicester upgraded to new LED lights a couple of seasons ago and then repositioned some last winter . Speedway wise all referees have to put on report about track lighting along with air fence state and white line. Problem being is lighting is so expensive now with I believe quotes of 20k to just fill in gaps

My prediction is that if and when the new stadium is given the green light from the council Osbourne will the apply to demolish the abbey for housing. once he has achieved this he will drop the new stadium and it will never be built. Just like Reading. I really hope I’m wrong

The start marshal must've had a flat white and a chocolate cookie 😄

On paper you wouldn't expect any of Berwick's bottom 3 to beat any of Edinburgh's top 6. It's Berwick's top 4 that need to get the points to get a result imo

For that reason I wouldn't have MPT at 5.

A bit of luck always welcome.

Here we are they’ve only gone and submitted them 😀 https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/25358479.first-look-plans-new-speedway-stadium-near-swindon/ Planning information for any one interested. https://development.wiltshire.gov.uk/pr/s/planning-application/a0iQ300000FdUf7IAF/pl202506229

Stewards Inquiry-Results Stands.👍

Alternatively, it could be described as highly fortuitous for Poole.😀

Same as every other accident, red flag.

They all need too turn up at the same time.

And smith, wood has fairly consistently achieved and often surpassed what he was hired to do (if someone could help him deal with the pressure of being in front he would be way higher up the averages. Smith has had some good performances but, and I’m really not someone to criticise riders because I couldn’t do it. But he just isn’t consistent I think at the risk of being torn a new on. We should have stuck with borke. At least even with the injury was on the up. Smith is a journeyman reserve. The promotion have done an incredible job fixing the main team but we have lost a lot of meetings at the bottom end.
