The bike setup was great for getting out the gate all night but when it hit the dirt it was sapping the power out the engine hence the loss of straight line speed coming off the the bend he made a changes but didn't work much better so was trying to keep it out the deeper stuff his engine was good but just not strong enough ,scoring double his ave in his 1st home meeting and some people still moaning lol

Great to hear that cookie had a good meeting and broke the track record to boot,well done Craig,you deserve all the success that now comes your way...well done,great to see you back to the form we all know you're capable of showing,good luck for the rest of the season.

I'd have to disagree with that point, clubs don't sign Speedway riders just because they try. If Workington thinks she'll improve & hit her 4.00 average - then that's the reason not to drop her.

No It’s Not quite as simple as that he did say he is bringing another engine up for next week

That was a good win against a a decent Berwick side. It’s worth pondering the outcome, had Flint been available. Would he have scored as many as Vissing? Doubtful, but then again, if Complin was available, I’m confident he’d have scored more than Hagon’s four. Starke looked slow, so credit where it’s due; his five, paid eight was an achievement. Borke is a rider. I can’t imagine he’ll be at reserve for long. Berwick have a great talent on their hands there. There was some great racing on show last night. Lots of passing and lots of tussling, so fair play to both sets of riders.

Yes, that’s because in the last three seasons he’s failed to score double figures on three occasions in his last eight visits, but two of those three were paid double figures. You got stick because despite being presented with the facts that totally went against your argument, you decided to stick your fingers in your ears and die on that hill which made you look stupid. Last three seasons at Foxhall 7+1 9+2 11+1 9+1 14+1 14+1 12+2 10+3 Why do people just blatantly Lie? I’d say Thursdays poor performance was very much UNLIKE Harris’ “usual Foxhall self” from recent history. Again, that’s because in recent years he’s scored double figures there more often than he hasn’t. It really isn’t difficult to understand is it, Orion? Well for some people it clearly is!

From a Berwick perspective I think tonight was far more positive than negative, I have no doubt as has been mentioned that if Glasgow hadn’t had Claus we would’ve taken the bonus point and potentially the meeting. If Sedgy had started how he finished maybe even then we could’ve stolen the bonus point. Kemp looked the best he has looked so far in a Bandits race jacket and despite nobody really setting the world alight we hung in there till the end. Next Friday at Armadale is make or break for our chances of qualification, a must win if there ever was one.

Class from Vissing tonight riding in a Glasgow Racesuit with Glasgow covers on his bike total professional

Really? Why haven't you mentioned it before?

Very pleased to see the Gladiators win their first home meeting of the season! Who needs Garrity anyway?

Just saw this on twitter, made me laugh. Have to say impressed with the start Dan Thompson has made this season. https://x.com/SocialSpeedway/status/1781772666115854372

Put the sound up or go for hearing test .He comes over clear on my TV.

Celina IS on the pace once her gating improves she will do ok ,she trys and thats the main thing for me.Great meeting today fantastic racing and a home win couldnt ask for more .

Well that's his fault for his attitude towards British Speedway last season.

Scunthorpe had their ‘lap of honour’ , just after the first junior race, like always happens at Redcar, no matter who wins. Agree about the car park but it’s not the speedways car park , and the council have been asked to do something about it but don’t hold your breath.

If my granny had wheels she'd be a bike (gini d'acampo quote)

Think starky did ok tonight paid 8 from a 4 point rider is pretty decent he used his head in his last heat to team ride with Sam to keep Borke behind but was struggling for speed suppose lack of riding doesn’t help either

We’re crap here no two ways about it so expecting a home win. If we can keep it within 12 and take the bonus point that’ll do nicely. https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-preview-belle-vue-rowe-motor-oil-premiership-r1-a/

Tobias scored a decent 11 points in Denmark today so should be on it on Wednesday. 53-37 I reckon

The Comets have seats too.

Now now ladies

Allen has hardly beaten an opponent these 2 away meetings, he needs to up his game away from the EWR.

Anybody would be superior to Roynon.

Redcar not having much luck on the injury front.Good meeting today,they put up a good show.Worky have decent top 5 just need one of the reserve to come good to be up there.

Thank you to all the Redcar fans who made the journey over. Speedway clubs have to try and support each other wherever possible. It was a really entertaining meeting despite the delayed start due to the late arrival of the medical cover. Really felt for Danny King who was unfortunately side swiped on the home straight after Sam McGurk appeared to pick up grip and come hurtling across the track, a really nasty looking incident that I was relieved to see him walk away from. Get well soon Danny. Most of the Redcar team showed plenty of spirit with Jonas Knudsen in particular catching the eye on his first visit to The GT Tyres Arena.

Should of tuned in earlier to watch the mighty comets V Redcar

He signed on an average of 5, and matched or beat that average in 80% of meetings. I don't know how many riders beat their average that regularly, but I'm going to guess it wasn't loads.

The comets have a fair shout at silver wear this year if they bite the bullet and move Liebmann on. Taking sex out if it she’s not very good and not even close to a 4 pointer. If they can bring someone in that’s capable of scoring there average then they’ll be there of thereabouts.

I'm a tad more optimistic this year with young Adam in the side, and the reserves could play a big part in this...

Phil Morris has a pretty good track record of getting meetings on... unlike British Speedway! There are people that want to see a GP held at the NSS, if they think that they're going to pick up a ticket for the same price as those at Cardiff they're living in cloud cuckoo land, it's simple supply and demand economics... and like you say everything in this country pretty much costs double what it did a few years ago. Dreamboat Phil will get these meetings on, whatever the conditions

The debate was can Harris score in double figures in a heat leader role in a final v a this decent Ipswich side .. so we are worried about last year stats . 12 + 2 was a good meeting but he was at 4 and 10 +3 was riding for Ippo . The bottom line in my opinion that he would have only scored 6 or 7 in that final in a heat leader role not the stupid scores you and others were going on about . So pure logic nothing to do with putting fingers in ears etc . Sadly we never got the chance to see who was right . Of course the next port of call was you to go crazy because i said don't rate Oxford and said that Magic was on the downgrade and not a No 1 and they would come unstuck in heats 13 -15 ... Thou its early that's looking pretty spot on . No doubt if this trend carries on you will be sticking your fingers in your ears or getting angry as normal .

"Starke was gating, but Christ there was no speed in his bike on the straights and he was having to ride defensive alllllllll night." I don't pretend to be an expert but is that not a simple matter of selecting the correct gearing? Correct balance to be struck between fast acceleration (gating) and top speed down the straights? Surely his team captain or more-experienced riders can offer advice on the most beneficial settings for the new Ashfield track?

Slick/ Grippy We will be coming down for the win, not matter what the track is like. If we cannot win then we settle for the bonus point.

We did last week when we won at Redcar in a last heat decider

Ace’s move on Hodder was rash,he would have probably got him before the end of the race if he used his head.

Berwick would have won the meeting if it had been Leon instead of Claus, Claus showed us what we were missing

Don’t upset the Tigers fans any more,think a lot of them are miffed regarding Claus and where he should have been.Tonight just rubbed some salt in.

Artem Laguta is desperate to ride in Britain. Nobody is prepared to give him a chance.

Actually Schroeck's excuse for his mistakes makes him look even more inept imo I’m normally clued up, but there was so much going on towards the end of the meeting and I missed an opportunity there and that does frustrate me. As soon as Tungate was missing & Clouting was his planned replacement, the obvious choice would be for Wright / Clouting or Wright on his own to take the first 3 rides with Riss replacing Clouting / Tungate in heat 14 alongside Boughen. Then once they were 6 points down, very obviously you'd put Nicholls in instead of Boughen. So how was "so much going on" that he made a mistake? He should have known what to do before the first heat?

Schroeck not being too hard on himself. “No-one is harder on me than myself and I know I made a mistake in Heat 14 and could have put a reserve out with Scott. I’m normally clued up, but there was so much going on towards the end of the meeting and I missed an opportunity there and that does frustrate me. But at the end of the day, the only way we could have got a win would have been to also gain a heat advantage over Sayfutdinov and Doyle in Heat 15, when Ipswich had pick of gate positions"

It’s hard at times to get one’s head around the fact prices for almost everything and anything have shot up in the last few years. Last year, on holiday south Shropshire we paid £13 for fish, chips and peas each, and that was takeaway price…..no cafe seats, we found a bench in a park. If “we” want live world class speedway on a British track, and Belle Vue is one of the best race tracks in the world, that most of the riders/mechanics, plus officials etc, are travelling many miles mostly from abroad, then it has to be paid for. The erection of the temporary stand on turn 3-4 will cost more than a few quid as well. You can’t compare prices with a uk premiere championship meeting, it’s in a different class. It is clearly a case of if you don’t want to pay the price then you don’t attend. I was at BV for the 2016 world team meeting at the atmosphere was pretty amazing. This year I am very happy staying at home watching everything that will be televised for the £6.99 Discovery+ are charging per month.

If Nicholls has the wrong helmet colour on then surely he should’ve been excluded on the 2 minutes there. Or was there more to it like Oxford don’t know the rule book when it comes to changes.

Like I've seen you say before. Just show up to be entertained by the strongest possible sides and not look too far beyond it. I would rather see sedgy than r/r or a sub standard guest personally

Birmingham Monday on the way up, Oxford on the Sunday afterwards on the way home and Sheffthorpe on the blank Thursday to make 7 meetings in 7 days. Go on British weather I dare you to foil my plans!

There are many riders that were exciting prospects end up as journeymen speedway riders.Maybe he is in that category.

No he's correct the match you are referring to was on 30 July. But Laguta rode (for Peterborough) against Leicester on 7 Sept scoring a max. But it is also worth noting that Laguta'a away scores were stunningly unimpressive, including 4 at Leicester losing to Sedgmen and Allen

So who do you change for Flint? he is one of the best rising stars, imo I wouldn't swop him for any other rider on the list.

People go on about Brums strength but that scorecard is littered with riders who could and should be doing better.

Looks like Give us a B is holding fire until tomorrow, I dread to think what his mood will be like having paid to watch what can best be described in an old fashioned way as Tripe .
