Whatever the result the racing been night and day compared to Thursday. People go on about throttle jockeys, give me throttle jockey racing any day compared to that crap from Ipswich.

The NSS is such a good track it does make many others look worse than they are,,, if that was my home track I would be there every week without hesitation

If you ever come back, yours will be a crap track in comparison as well , as are most. You've won loads back in the day with a sh*t track , compared to others many times

Shove it right ya you twonk!!

Can I just say we'll done and commiserations to Belle Vue,,, to come back from 22 was fantastic effort.

Anyway back to the speedway! Chris Louis you beauty, Doyle and Emil are box office and it’s been a joy to watch them all season, reaching the final after winning the cup the icing on the cake, stick that in ya pipe and smoke it lemon hahaha

Brilliant choreographed speedway for all the muppets who were entranced by a staged match. To all the participants well done and hope you all are payed well. this is why no one bothers to watch.

What a heat 15.That just proves you can't really team ride here.How many times did all positions change.What a track,if we get any more new tracks hopefully they will base it on the Belle Vue track.Very envious of all you who live close and attend every meeting.

Hawkins needs to have a shave.Every time the camera pans on him i am having disturbing flashbacks to the 70's when i found some videos on top of my parents wardrobe

As we all know, any ‘stone’ they use is made of RAAC concrete when it suits

Could it be any more obvious that Tatum wants Aces to win. never thought I’d say this as a Lynn girl but come on you Witches

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

Was it windy at Monmore tonight.

Congratulations Ipswich. Full marks to Jason Doyle for making the effort to race tonight after the horrific looking accident. He really is a loyal rider to UK speedway .

Stupid woman.

Superb entertainment, shame one side had to lose

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.

Following in Scunny’s footsteps (again) by starting this thread. Would love to see Sam back and Erik Riss if in full health along with Josh if he can be persuaded to return after this debacle of a season. None of the current team kicked on this season due to illness and injury but possibly Kye back.

So ... your only contribution tonight is completely derogatory, and then you throw your curlers out of the nail bar because people throw it back at you? PS: If you didn't know, "Stupid Woman" is a famous phrase from 'Allo 'Allo, which was splendidly non-PC. 'tler!

That heat 13 was superb.

Calm down dear.

Counting out a man with his heart and ability. Shame on you.

Shame Ipswich won that. Crap track compared to BV for the neutral. Some decent racing tonight and heat 15 was good fun.

What a race that was. Well done Ipswich. The final will be a poorer place without the NSS in it but that first leg has cost them.

99% on here are blindfolded about the result need for Eurosport

Bewley should make a good second string next season

Great ride...

It wasn’t a poor attendance at Ashfield on Saturday though, maybe affected by other sporting attendances but it was decent crowd IMO.

I admit that the track may not be that consistent as others in it's entertainment value but what it does help provide is the most successful team ever & also the biggest crowds! Not bad for ur perceived view of it being 'crap'!

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?

Wish I could be there but can't but I'll be watching on TV - come on the Witches - hope my neighbours have earplugs as I do try to recreate the stadium atmosphere in my front room.

And on a bike too!

Assuming the requirements don’t change for next year, Lasse has one of the best average discrepancies in the league. His 2023 average is about 0.7 above his rolling average, so if there’s any hope he can match his 2023 average next year, he’s good value. He does seem to always be injured though. I’m not actually 100% I’ve ever seen him race at Armadale come to think of it! Which is probably why I’ve only just noticed his home average is quite weak…

Don't think Borke has shown enough to warrant being brought back 2 decent meetings away from home isn't it?

Lambert is fine at Monmore, he's talented, unlike, ahem, some throttle bashers from up the M6.
