If you have never seen a fixed race then wake up to live entertainment and the need for it

Peaking at the right time is massive in sport. You’ve got one team here that was declared champions by the masses halfway through the year and another that was written off, tables have certainly turned now.

The issue for me is the fixtures and British speedway's inability to get fixtures done in a timely fashion. Oxford should never have had to ride a home fixture on a Sunday in mid September. It wasn't that long ago we were bemoaning the lack of British riders in Polish leagues, we can't now complain that they are missing our fixtures to be there when we can't get our own act together.

As discussed the same when Charles went out if he didn’t go and stayed to ride in the uk for Redcar it would mean a 28 day fim ban so wouldn’t be able to ride anywhere

And people laughed when we said Smith as guest,,,,,,,,, already an ipswich legend

In one way it's pretty funny. It couldn't be any more Glaswegian. Knocked out by an angry woman called senga

Are you definitely running next year? I hope you are, we need the points!

Harris has replaced Chris Holder according to bet 365 haha, but I’m sure it’s a mistake

Rumour has it that Bewley has missed his flight in… not sure how true it is

Don’t even think Belle Vue will win on the night. Belle Vue 43-47 Ipswich.

Definitely, put it in the same box as xmas adverts and xmas stuff in the shops now, both should be outlawed until the end of November at least.....bah humbug.....

A lot of the team building will be academic until the league structure is announced, no? Never know a season of so much uncertainty ahead - will it be one league, two league, three leagues? A good Championship side might not be that great if it's just one big league for instance.

While I agree with most of what you're saying, can you really blame Connor Bailey for signing for Wroclaw at the stage of the season where he knew he would only be required to race on a Sunday? He wasn't to know that a meeting would then be rearranged for a Sunday, not one of either clubs' dedicated race nights? Should he have turned down the chance to impress in Poland on the off chance? Bigger issue for me is the fixture congestion/backlog that has caused clubs to try and cram in the playoff fixtures desperately on any day, even knowing they won't be able to field a full strength team.

To be honest, I think that’s the feeling of most of the current fans that we have left now and the promoters also. The sport has less credibility than WWF or monster trucks and has become a bank holiday treat rather than a regularly attended event resulting in crowds no longer at a sustainable level. It’s a great shame for many clubs and fans, but it is what it is and it’s not going to change, I’ll continue to enjoy the racing at the National Speedway Stadium at whatever level it is, but I do feel for those who no longer have a team in this once great sport to follow.

Bit pathetic from Masters to have a go at Hume for fighting for his position, as Danyon said on interview,he did nothing wrong.

Still a healthy crowd though for an off day fixture. Seemed to fill up just before star time.

What a ride by Keynan in Ht 2.

Can't see that been the reserve pairing

You get 15 points for turning up, should be able to pick up a further 22 between 7 of em

No need to be so rude with your replies.

But Bailey wasn’t….he was only signed after Shane’s declared he wasn’t going to be fit and he had already got a Polish contract before his deal with Redcar. The problem here is not the riders, it’s the BSPL’s handing of the hole play off situation , fixtures and the ill thought out rules

Ms Hockenhull said at the end of Friday's proceedings, the inquiry would resume on Tuesday.

Great to see Timo Lahti pull off the win after he was cheated of a run in the final last year after a clash at the start his race was over in 6 metres

Wasn't he in Poland?

I saw he was leading the final this evening in the czech golden helmet before his tyre came off the rim. I reckon he’s going to be in fine form tomorrow ready to send the aces out
