The 2 Kids Crew races seemed very well supported.  Kids (and some adults) in amongst the terraces, clamouring for photos with Pirate Lee - all there watching another Pirates win as well. A 50/50 draw worth £230 (I think thats the most this season?) to the winner. Whats not to like!!!!

All this talk about Mr Coleman on the Poole 2027 topic?? WTF?? In the meantime who is up for an away trip to Eastbourne in 2027 in a proper South Coast derby?😉😉😇

ahh well all is well in the world of British speedway then....how on earth do you think last nights entertainment will attract or appeal to anybody watching/going for the first time?.....the average age at last nights meeting must of been over 50, so please don't come back with Poole are doing something right.

UK Speedway would benefit from a one hour round up, magazine type programme each week, with a couple of riders in attendance.. Making them personalities and identifiable... Mix in a few of the best heats from around the country, and a "what's on where?" over the next seven days...

The top tier of speedway has a lot more issues than the championship, they were determined to have a sixth team so they had to get Northampton on board which I believe has largely been successful but it took a lot of work to get the track and stadium fit for purpose.

Seems very encouraging and the reasons behind not showing the Premiership play offs makes sense but given that the final tends to draw in the crowds I would have hoped that an edited version could be shown on ITV as a round up to the season and whet the appetite for 2027. Also interesting to read Phil Lanning’s views on the subject. This also has some merit with a weekly round up rather than live meetings but the main thing has to be to get the sport in whatever format on a free to air channel to reach the biggest potential audience.
