6 negative lateral flows and 2 negative PCR’s I’ve had to do this week just to stay at work … so if I actually did live in Scottish land I’d be shoving them up Wee Jimmy’s jinker and telling her to settle down But I am as English as you and she has no bearing or reason to question my cough

It doesn't need to mention the league cup. The League Cup precedes the Premiership so changes can't be made until 25% of league fixtures are completed. It's not difficult to understand. Also Jake Allen is a declared rider whose 28 day contract is irrelevant as he WASN'T granted facility status. The rules the same if the League Cup Final happens after 75% of Premiership fixtures, team won't be allowed changes for that fixture either. It really isn't hard to understand at all

Rotten luck Plymouth losing Gilkes with a suspected broken arm. He has been excellent this season and I for one wish him a speedy recovery. Plymouth will certainly miss him on Tuesday and he will be irreplaceable. Get well soon.

He's well beyond stupid.... Every post he makes is designed to damage the credability of Scunthorpe Speedway.

They still have Mark Lemon as manager...

Now announced by bspa drink them tears

Looks fantastic here in Gorican. Some pics from the stadium today: https://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/2214/fotoreportage-voorbereidingen-speedway-gp-in-gorican

Correct. What's in King's Lynn's favour over Belle Vue is that Kildemand is refusing (changed his mind) to come to King's Lynn. This will allow them another facility / 28 replacement. With Belle Vue if Jake Allen refuses to return to Belle Vue because they want Zagar, Allen will also get the 28 day ban for his Championship team. Allen won't accept that.

Alex Brady says all 4 lynn cup matches went to last heat deciders If only Ipswich had known that was the case at the AFA Monday when being 53-31 behind at ht15

The regulations governing the sport are laid down by the governing authorities. Whether clubs are adhering to them or not is also down to the governing authorities, not us the supporters. If Belle Vue's signing of Matej Zagar is ratified, it is obviously within the way the governing authorities intended the regulation to work. If not ratified, then it isn't. As supporters it seems we're divided and debating on whether our own interpretation of the regulation is correct. As suppprters, perhaps our 'displeasure' ought to be aimed at the authorities for having regulations that, from the outside looking in, are seemingly open to different interpretations - rather than against an individual club in this case Belle Vue?

i do agree riders should be spread out more evenly .i dont like the idea of going to poole each week with a big home win .not the speedway i want to see .lots of poole supporters love it not me though just my opinion of course

Wonder if Woffinden can be persuaded to replace Iversen .. money talks

In all fairness anyone who can make the dump look entertaining is a helluva rider

Absolutely perfect close a track just because the club wants to put out a stronger side - just about sums British speedway logic up

Watching the Polish league. Meant to be the best in the world but seems to me to be a far cry from where it was ten years ago. Where are the superstars? Most of the top guys are aged stars who have been around for what seems forever. Swedes? Nothing. Danes? Very little. Aussies? Nothing. Not sold on Lidsey. Both Fricke and Kurtz failed. Continental riders? Just oldies past their prime. Poles have Zmarzlik and Janowski and a few youngsters coming through, and so they should. Perhaps GB is not so far in a bad place compared to others with Bewley and Lambert. But it seems the top Polish league is getting cluttered with old Poles like KK, Walasek, Kolodziej, Gapinski. Etc who do a job but don’t set the sport alight. When top riders get to a certain high standard, they are currently able to maintain their position in the sport with fitness training, diet and because they are in the top bracket, continue to score and therefore pickup the best sponsorship and have the best equipment. It stifles youngsters and the sport gets bogged down with oldies.

You really are some kind of special stupid, your hatred of Godfrey won't cloud an inaccurate statement eh. There is medical cover at Scunthorpe but like all tracks they have to wait for a county ambulance, stabilise the patient etc... So Gilkes was put in the Scunthorpe ambulance with medical cover until he could be transferred, whilst waiting for the transfer there is no other medical cover and the racing has to wait.

Awesome race track is Grudziadz. Hopefully tonight will be no different.

Think Ostrow have decided to "take the money and run".. Maybe use it to come back stronger again in a couple of years..

Nice to know that the cough hasn't impacted your long (long) (long) (yawn) term memory

Skidder seemed to think we would be okay to 2024

Personally I think we beat Belle Vue easily,, even with our normal 1 to 7,,,,Fricke is pony at Foxhall,,, Zagar will be worse than pony,,, and ya never know with Kurtz,,, normally pony but last time was okay,,, Wright is also another one,, has done okay on occasions,,, but not always,,,, but obviously their top 2 being really pony will see us win. The crowd are gonna love it,, the management will then be giving it the big one,, then the home meeting after that we will lose as they are less pony at Foxhall

So, does that mean that Richie will have to lower his average if he wants the extra Sunday job?

Think most Ipswich fans would rather keep Heeps than have Tungate return !!

Any updates on how people can watch in countries where speedway doesn’t have a tv deal? I’m hoping it will be on YouTube but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not, to really drive people to the discovery app.

Why stop any club from strengthening there side ? Why in speedway does it seem weak is better ?obviously clubs shouldn’t be allowed to strengthen during the play offs but at this early stage of the season i can’t see the problem All clubs had the same opportunity to sign Zagar id have thought and same opportunities to try to bring other riders back to the uk but no yet again weaken the product is the way forward . Only in speedway

Show us where it says League CUP, it clearly says League fixtures. No rules were broken, get over it and move on.

That Belle Vue appear to be getting away with it - I could not agree more

That's a bit strong Lisa!!!

I wonder what would be said a few seasons ago and Poole did it.

Put it this way. This current Belle Vue team with Jake Allen wouldn't make top 4. Belle Vue illegally add Matej Zagar, this will push King's Lynn outside the Play-Off's. Is that right & fair?? Belle Vue should rightful continue until the 25% is completed with Jake Allen. Belle Vue could well still make top 4 from that point but then at least it's done in the correct way. Surely 5 league fixtures with Jake Allen isn't that much pain for Belle Vue? Then they can have a 15 meeting charge & prove themselves with Zagar

Was absolutely gutted when it was announced Sheffield could,t fit him in,should have moved heaven and earth to keep him,if only for the entertainment value alone,if he keeps injury free he,s going to be a world class rider,Lynn are very lucky to have him....would watch him anywhere.

Streamed the match tonight after a fairly hollow match against Newcastle (I thought) on the opening night. Took a little while to get going as per with Redcar they delivered in terms of racing and overall presentation. The Bears deserved it as their class told in the latter races. Redcar's top three may all finish on 9 point averages on early season form and the other four are steadily picking up good points especially 'JJ.' Cheetahs top two are not dominating as I thought they would. Early days of course but Oxford look light to me of a rider at the moment. Class comments from JC at the end magnanimous in defeat. Finally thought Stewart Dickson was an excellent coup. A very good advert for British Speedway.

Suddenly in issue 4 valid from 1st May his average is shown as assessed. it wasn't shown as being assessed in the 1st three issues. Can't find the reason in the regulations for this to have changed. his original average is a converted figure (from his last Championship average), not an assessed figure.

Apart from Tom Brennan who is arguably is the best up and coming brit, the rest of them would be blown away in this league!

Confirmed. Let’s end all the mug slinging now & those who have tracks to watch speedway at appreciate it. the better the riders in the league the better the standard will be. I can’t believe people were actually moaning.

With the result never in doubt, enjoyed the meeting after the first few heats.. Ostrov giving it a go at least..

You don’t half find some weird and wonderful things!

I hope Zagar does return to belle vue but why not get approval from the BSPL first then announce his return ?

Dont fancy it again

Shouldn't be but could do

I think it's clear the league cup doesn't count. Averages don't count in the league cup so how can they count towards the 25% of fixtures. Also for the 2 teams that go get to the final they will then have to ride 7 meetings before a change rather than 6 for the rest.

Why would the potential signing of Zagar for Belle Vue have any bearing on the Lynn replacement.Lynn's replacement would be through an injury

Why, he rides for Edinburgh. Should be okay?

Maybe he likes a well prepped track lol... Mind u Wolves will be a shock to him i think.

Just for him to be honest.....

Does anyone. ?

wouldn't people rather see a more attractive and competitive BV come to their track? Sick of people moaning about lack of big names - one turns up and there's hell on

I’ve a feeling Lynn would have been making inroads for a while with this. Coincidence that Klindt has now made himself available with Lynn looking for a rider around that average? Could be putting 2+2 and coming up with 5 but I wouldn’t be surprised if this deal is already done. Especially as I’m convinced Louis wouldn’t have been looking for changes after 3 meetings but we’ll see. If he does go to Lynn, I don’t think they’re any worse off than they are with Iversen, possibly even stronger. They’ll be a contender.

Belle Vue will win the league if everyone stays fit.

Speedway 2022 Speedway is returning to Premier Sports in 2022 with meetings beginning soon from Sweden on a Tuesday and Thursday plus meetings from Denmark on Wednesdays featuring UK star Tai Woffinden. Upcoming fixtures to be updated shortly.
