Doesn't Lawson not get on with Richie Worrall cos Worrall was having a go on Lawsons mrs or something like that when they were both at Glasgow? Good to see Steve Worrall get a wild card, feel like its injuries that have held him back some what . Am no fan of Ellis or his old man but those comments from Hawk are disgusting.

talking of the bigger picture, with this inclusivity and diversity, what do you identify as, apart from a idiot.

Love Ritchie worralls honesty says it as it is.

Thankfully Berwick have gone back to the tried and tested successful way of running a team with at least three reserves in it. I suspect a march up the league starts on Friday at Glasgow.

Whoosh. Maybe I should have added a wink emoji, but I assumed people wouldn’t take it seriously.

Fans demand qualifyer BSPL decides to stage qualifyer Fans don't turn up in sufficient numbers Promoter loses money BSPL decides not to stage qualifyer Fans demand qualifyer Repeat ad nauseum

It is unfair having the BF at the NSS every year as the lightest riderx have a big advantage over the rest becssue it all about speed not track craft. They should have it around the country at different tracks instead.... You can only presume Leicester would be his choice, as that is the only track he can ride better than most it appears. His brother did a great job last night in conditions that you would usually think would have impacted him, given gating and doing well on slick tracks is his MO.. Maybe Steve has cut the carbs out for a fortnight...? Hope the meal was enjoyable, the racing in really testing conditions definitely was.. Not the names and level of rider that the flagship competition should have fighting for it, but those who accepted the call, did a superb job last night, and did the sport proud.. And some of those who had to pass up the chance to be the UK's No1, given the conditions, probably for the best, stayed away so the rest could get on with it... The way the sport is heading in this country, there could be a fair few more opportunities for riders to enjoy 3 course meals instead of racing in the not too distant future... Hope they enjoy them... Salads only on the menus though, obviously.....

With Riis coming on strong again Redcar are Play Offs contenders.Bailey is really making a difference

Same here.. I d go for C Holder n Batch though

Not been keen on him since his shenanigans at Birmingham at the start of last year

50pts the target for Plymouth to secure the bonus/aggregate point.

Are you okay? "NURSE!!!"

I signed it yesterday and would urge all fans of all clubs to do the same. It could be your team next.

I’ve signed and so has my family, but sharing never seems to get my signature recognised on change org.

If schlein was there the meeting wouldn’t have taken place he would have talked all the young lads out of it.

I put on the AEPG Peterborough Facebook the following: Could AEPG answer the following question please, " have AEPG discussed or agreed with Mr Keith Chapman to not support the Peterborough Speedway to run at the EoES for season 2024 in return for compensation / the purchase of the Speedway Club” Not had a response but not surprised by that.

Transponders only been on this season so can only look back to start of year. So won’t know if it’s fastest ever. But deffo fastest this season

Make the tracks out of rubber and the tyres out of shale. Job done.

Great meeting all things considered when it was chucking it down at 7.25. Thought the track came into its own and wasn’t the gate and go a lot of people expected. Congrats to Dan on another title and to Stevie for getting the wildcard. Might shut the other worrall up for a bit. Even on a different track like the moaners are wishing, I can only imagine Dan would clean up again. His ability to just turn it on when he needs to is ridiculous. The pass on Brennan and then his first 2 corners in the final were just exquisite. Had a few concerns about the line up throughout the day but thought it was a decent enough field. Although I do think that other than the defending champ, there should be a qualification process so we get the truly best 16 riders GB has to offer at the time.

Fair play to everyone for getting this meeting on, at 7.30 i didnt think there was a hope in hell it would go ahead Dan B a deserved winner, but made up Stevie got the wildcard for Cardiff,one of the sports nice guys

Not just YOUR opinion. Vaculik should finish Top 6. Despite all the negative Nancies on here, Doyle has clearly proven himself one of the top boys still, and I would be surprised if he didn't finish Top 6. Likewise, I'm convinced that Holder would have finished Top 6 were it not for his injury, so there's another automatic choice.

What have i missed about Richie and weight?

All-in-all a more than decent meeting. Congratulations to all 17 riders who rode and gave it everything. Well done too to the track staff and everyone involved in organising a good meeting against the odds on a track that was not just rideable, but raceable too. All the moaners with their "should have called it off" and "it's a disgrace of a line-up" were made to look silly. 16 fully-committed riders... brilliant. Not always been a fan of Ben Barker (e.g. I wouldn't buy anything off his ebay shop) but I had to smile at his interview on the track mic "I'm always proud to pull on a Union Jack race jacket, and I will always want to ride in the British Final... even though I'm fat". Nice to see Richie Worrall in the Peter Craven suite tucking into his cheesecake. The three-course meal was a better choice than riding in the meeting. After all, how could Richie be expected to compete against the top three - The six-stone Dan Bewley, the five-stone Ben Barker, and that guy in second place who is definitely not the same height, weight, size and shape as Richie Worrall? Wonder if Richie's meal was a spare that was left over when the BSPL Chairman couldn't be arsed turning up for the meeting?

Two former Ipswich riders, a couple of former Workington riders, a couple of former King's Lynn riders, a couple of former Stoke riders , etc., etc. ...

This is a potential banana skin for Poole. Over confident after a super heat away win at Redcar. Bears on a good run which is likely to be extended at Plymouth on Tuesday evening. Worrall’s focus now elsewhere. Thompson an unknown at number 7. An away win wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

You're needlessly slagging off his son. That makes it his business. Adam may not be your favorite rider but you are being incredibly unpleasant about it. The man already won this title once. Show some respect.

I'm a massive fan of Simon Lambert what he lacks (possibly) in talent he more than makes up for in attitude, effort and commitment... there's a lot of Speedway riders (even some of the big time Charlie's) that could learn a thing or two from him!

Next year will look very different for everyone, not just us. Just remembered why I hate Manchester clubs so much, thanks for reminding me.

The annual reunion is on Sunday 10 September, 2023, 11am until 4pm. California Country Park, Nine Mile Ride, Finchampstead, Wokingham, RG40 4HT. Toilets and Cafe available on site. All welcome.

Think they said tonight they were trying go get a rider who is in Poland just now to guest. ps that doesn’t mean it’s a pole.

Well they decided to wait for the rain to stop and will start prep the track (started a few minutes ago). We'll see if and when they get going again. I left the track one hour ago, didn't fancy sitting there another hour for the rain to stop and then another 60-90 minutes for the track to be graded for just 5 heats (best case scenario)..

Credit where credit is due the track team at Belle Vue worked wonders to get the meeting on. Not only was there heavy rain in Manchester at 17:00 the downpour prior to tapes off looked as though that would be it BUT the track team and Phil Morris got a meeting on. The riders should be applauded for giving it a go in not the best conditions and if raced at any other track I doubt the meeting would of taken place. Congratulations to Dan Bewley on winning the meeting and Steve Worrall the British SGP WildCard. Who did what he needed to do and now fully deserves his day on the big stage at the SGP. He may find it tough but fully deserves his opportunity.

Not Prem

was he available? thought i read he was in poland

Because it would have required at least an ounce of effort!

Have heard of the whys but not for me to repeat,have known steve since school days he is a gent .

And of course where arson is proved, it's always 'kids' who've broken in to burn the place down...

I thought Phil earned his money tonight. From the commentary it sounded as if he had read the riot act to some riders who weren't too keen for the meeting to take place!

You think anyone's got the money just now to be building houses there? With interest rates as they are? And the location is surely only good for smaller cheaper houses and they don't make the profits. And are there not mine workings in that area?

If the track is as bad as last year Worrall could do really well, no dirt,no passing, gaters track just like Wimborne Road

Maybe still recovering from his previous injury but he had 5 rides for Sheffield the other day and hasn't ridden since as far as I know.

I would rather have you in a Glasgow jacket shouting on Bomber. Or do you think I took that too far.

The GP Qualifier was at Glasgow though.!! ps There was nothing wrong with the track ( I was there) obviously you were at Edinburgh.

Szymon Woźniak is one of the best riders outside of the gps, 12th in polish averages. Not sure Becker is upto GP standard yet.

It isn't going to be that revealing. I even doubt he'll release anything at all, was just frustrated & letting off steam.

for anyone missed it. Unbelievable heat of speedway

He nearly quit but didn't and in fact wouldn't rule out working with Leicester/Dixon again Not much of a story really
