Great meeting... Great atmosphere.... Away fans going mental and riders celebrating just as mentally with them... There really is no comparison from what you have in the UK is there? Apart from Jack Holder was riding obviously,.. Its exactly the same sport, but it isn't really is it? "Proper Speedway Nige"...

So you weren’t there, didn’t know anything about the meeting, track, opposition, conditions, refs decisions? In fact you knew nothing at all except what you read on the internet? Well they say opinions are like ar$eholes because everyone has one. I think all you did is prove the point. as to hitting a nerve ? Don’t flatter yourself mate, any real fan laughs at people who spout off with no knowledge of what they’re talking about. yeah, my boy did ride. He also top scored. Embarrassing…? Nope. I’m proud as hell.

Well done Edinburgh, but speedway was the winner today, that was a terrific meeting

With all the space available, t is possibly the worst designed track of recent years. there were no restrictions, an entirely blank page...

I think he will be at Peterborough next year if he wants to be, I also think he will be racing again this year as he should be back for our September matches if not some of the later August meetings. Ulrichs very popular, with his team mates, sponsors and most importantly the fans and it’s noticeable he is very fit this year and a fit Ulrich on good equipment is a match for mostly anyone. You don’t put over 3 points on your starting average by fluke or accident.

Myself i don't want Poole in the Prem. Always bending the rules in the interest of the sport Poole.

Terrific entertainment today. Points of note from my perspective; 1. Joe Lawlors late point was vital and he worked so hard to get it. 2. Cookie looks slightly off compared to previous seasons. He fought really hard in cracking races with Worrall and Masters. 3. Not enough water on the track. It didn't seem to detract from the racing but I found it odd, given the large water truck and smaller water tractor, that the dust would be quite so bad from a spectator viewpoint. 4. My favourite moment from today was when Kye was in 3rd and Justin was about to come under him thus forcing Kye out wide. It was almost at that moment Kye realised he can ride the boards (like he does at Armadale). He passed Jye and then after that he was excellent. 5. Brilliant collection for Uli. Speedway is such a great sport but moments like what happened on Friday are brutal. He's on the mend and that's the main thing so get well soon. 6. Looked a very good crowd today. Similar to the SGP qualifier a few weeks ago. Great to see and hopefully everyone was entertained.

Track was very different to usual, it actually looked really good to me, maybe the riders weren't happy as it just caught them out a little bit, they didn't even do a track walk at the start? Is there ANY atmosphere in the pits whatsoever? I wouldn't be surprised if not with the manager merry-go-round and the lack of any real big hitters. Shame as the first few home meetings (Leicester and Scunthorpe in particular) were brilliant and the lads put up such a big fight, where tonight they seemed to struggle more with keeping their front wheels down on a much grippier than usual track. I liked the new track, this track curator is clearly one of the best about, the riders just need to get used to it now... Adam Roynon's hatred for Brough Park clearly isn't disappearing anytime soon either... I know he seemed to have major bike issues with his first bike, but he still seemed to struggle just to keep two wheels on the ground the rest of the meeting. Really hope Max Clegg can come back to the Max of 2019 too, massive shame seeing him struggle like that

A lot of people there tonight had never been before and really enjoyed it and said they would be back. It’s much quieter on the centre green without Roy, yes I agree but it’s no miss

Really enjoyed that meeting. Torun producing some great racing. Well done to Lublin. Deserved the win.

I’d say before reviewing Sedgman, who scored 7 from 4 rides, and Wells (who scored paid 8 from 4 rides) we should be having a looking at the the decision making processes of the team manager. It’s not the first time this season that we have let potential points slip by decisions made from the pits, both before and during the meeting.

Robert Lambert take a bow

1500 and Tigers announced they were adding £1000 to it

I thought an irrelevant had big grey ears; a trunk and tusks? Regards THJ

I think you will just have to accept it`s 2nd division. Extraleague boys wouldn`t get out of bed for the pay rates on offer !!. As i said before even the SEC was 2nd rate before Onesport got involved and got it on TV. Also one should remember that all FIM Europe events were not recognised by the BSPA until a few years ago- their reasoning was that they were comp`s unnecessary in a crowded calendar and therefore no facility was granted for riders missing meetings over here to ride in UEM events. It was only pressure from the ACU/SCB that we should as a nation take part that forced the BSPA to change their policy.

Utter crap

Ellis and Brennan need to be doing meetings like this to move forward watched Ellis on Thursday at Sheffield and he looks like he s moving forward he attacked the track and his race with pedersen was great to watch

What an insightful summary… so what did you think of the meeting… the track… the “interesting” refereeing decisions? Also can you point out where the embarrassment was exactly so that I can pass in your opinion ?

The rule this year is you can use a guest with an average 25% under the Riders average so Smetana is on a 5 so Poole can use anyone with an average under 3.75

Speedway / Grasstrack engines are designed to run on Methanol as, together with the heavy flywheels used,. it gives the best type of power delivery required for the sport, that is the explosive acceleration from a standing start with a single gear. They can run on petrol with a lot of modifications internally and to the timing and carburation, and quite a few Pre 65 Scramblers / MotoX riders use 2 valve Jawa engines. Engines designed to run on petrol can also be modified to run on Methanol, but many of the 1000cc Sidecar Grasstrack bikes using multi-cylinder Japanese road bike engines, although tuned, still use petrol.

Was looking at the prices for "The Hundred" earlier... which no matter how much they try and hype it is still cricket. Under 5's free 6-15's a fiver Adults from a tenner At least there's always something going on at the cricket... I'm typing this as the tractor is doing its umpteenth lap at Leicester!

Won’t be long till Ace Pijper is Scotland’s No1.

When the powers that be treat it as a training territory rather than a proper league, what do you expect? The difficult was the team’s within it were treating it as a 3rd tier and the pricing structure, especially Kent’s, reflected that. But we know that nothing in any walk of life ever goes down in price, just the product on offer declines!

Yes I did think that during the meeting. No one was expecting him back for a lot longer than this. But he fell off in his parade lap, broke down on a bike that sounded much like a lawnmower in his first heat after it cutting out on him before the tapes went up too, couldn't keep his front wheel down in his next 2 rides but looked brilliant to get a 5-1 with Ben in his last... More of his 4th ride and he'd be brilliant. I really do like Adam, but we all know how much he hates Brough too. His meeting against (Leicester??) Where he got 10 points from 4 rides... Shows he can do it

Ostergaard will be a massive miss , was always going to be an absolute steal on that average on good equipment. Wells and Sedgmen way past their best and need replacing but there probably isnt anyone out there to replace them with .

On a more serious note how long does after sun take to kick in or is a cold shower the answer. www.burnttoacrisp.com

Track looked smooth, but you’ve done away with some of your home advantage some what by taking out the bumps. Took a while but some decent races towards the end. Expected more fight from the home team , Howarth being the star man by a long margin. Bears guests were worth every penny, excelling them selves and added to good scores from the three Bears then it was an easy win. Couldn't get near the famous food as the cues were way too long but that was the smallest crowd I’ve seen for a Redcar derby match. Hope it improves as don’t want to lose our ‘nearest and dearest’.

It's something that has been prevalent at many clubs in this sport for years I'm afraid. If you continue to ask pertinent questions you will very likely get the next old chesnut "Well if you don't like it don't come".Yet they still can't understand the damage that is caused by their comments.

Possibly all won't be well with the world next weekend then.If you don't get at least 60 points in each of the cup matches you are in trouble

F**king Berwick, three measly points and third in the only 5-1 of the meeting.

I took it away having remembered in the morning that it’s now common practise for FIM and UEM to remind FMN’s that they want to be the first to publish these lineups.

On dangerous ground there criticising the Leicester track. . Locals wont be happy

The track has been excellent for the most part this season, Last night it appeared to be super smooth, so don’t know if that contributed to less passing than usual this year.

Forget averages. Anyone on the rising star list can replace a rising star above or equal to their category.

as for Kings Lynn moving down? Thats another matter....

Just like British Speedway

Indeed it was!

The green sheet average is the only thing you can go by.

He has not been riding well this season, rumours he's of to Oz after this season, wish the Diamonds and Granty all the best hope you get a full house.I do miss Grantys "chuck wagon " at Berwick.

His fall in Heat 15 was because he was busting a gut to get by Worrall to salvage a draw. They could still be racing now and he still wouldn't be able to get by. I thought it was a good match score wise but the racing was almost non existent! Heats 9 & 10 were quite good tussles. Otherwise everything was settled after bend 2 of lap 1. Unbelievably the announcer was yet again blowing smoke up the messiah's bottom during the interval when trying to get positive comments about the track from Kennedy. It maybe very nice to ride on, I don't know, but to make a pass on it's almost impossible, or was last night, that's why Morris had to pull his kamikaze move in the last "race". Still at least it was all over quickly... another 92 minute meeting. Well done to Poole.

Was he well he had not much to ride against did he really

Blobby usually starts the derby weekend pretty vocal. As the weekend unfolds it’s like a death in the family and goes into mourning , really miss his over confidence.

Dunno. Someone usually does though.

I disagree... there's quite a good mix here at Leicester. What I would say is that £20 is quite a lot to pay out if you were taking a punt as a newcomer. I'm not sure I would.

It all boils down to the kit I think at the end of the day, the sooner it's slowed down and standardised the better imo.

Speedway bikes can run on petrol or methanol but the engines are different. Methanol engines run cooler so they need a higher compression ratio and would not be adaptable for petrol. There have been many trials Honda and Kawasaki engines ran perfectly well. If speedway was more flexible there could be an amateur class for petrol powered bikes probably be a lot cheaper and easier to maintain if you could use a cut down stock engine.

Troy is a British citizen so does not require any visas.

Says someone who can't spell lol. Was that sarcastic? Thought I'd better ask cos no one else gets your sarcasm but you!

He’s to few nasty knocks this season,but he does give 100%,wish him speedy recovery he is entertaining.
