'Banned' 'failing' 'despite' 'evidence' - all a little over dramatic me thinks. How about: The standard 7 day sickness protocol, as per SCB regulations, will apply to Dan Thompson who has covid.

I’m sure we could manage to get him on a 5. Think they call it the Tarrasenko rule.

Think you will find it was kept out maintaining the track longer as the medics were dealing with Dan Thompson.They done a good job with the track today IMO.No rider had any bother riding it which is something given their inexperience.Good Meeting IMO.

A very good meeting with another close finish with the Spires just coming out on top helped by several great outside passes.

Plymouth taking the absolute p!ss with this now. SCB/BSPA just as bad for allowing it. Should be having to use a NL 2 pointer at number 1 till he turns up if he ever does that is. Same situation as before with them.

The deal was done way before the u21 final!

Spot on. Need a new signing to replace Tofty and get Paddy back to reserve asap.

Pardon me if I believe the referee who had to tell him the rule, and not you.

Both Hailsham lads so more than likely but I know David is..

Over £3200 raised so far by Speedway fans to help replace what was stolen.

It's a tricky one for sure... Yes, Dan T is a rising star, but he is in the main body of the team based on his average - therefore logic (and I know this is where my comment falls down with british speedway) suggests that you would go like for like... If you have to get a guest for a rising star, at least let the club put them at number 7 and have said club temporarily re-jig their line up, so you push one of the current reserves back into the main body of the team... Poor Freddy riding at number 2, especially with R/R at number 1!?

I said this before, as much as Osbourne is what he is he isn’t breaking the law and all his decisions are business decisions, if speedway was a cash cow he would be working in our favour, the council will do whatever the cash dictates,, council support for a track closed or otherwise means nothing but on the other foot speedway needs the council to run, it all boils down to money unfortunately and it rarely falls in speedways favour, even in oxford’s case if it wasn’t for the greyhound guy buying the rights to the stadium would speedway even be back ? Unfortunately moral people don’t run the world

Luke went in hard mate was a bit stiff yesterday and today but all good fence did it's job with no major injury

Because your team manager is inept.

Sam was a dreadful commentator, but even worse team manager..

It will take some doing getting a good guest for Toft,his average is only 4.65.That is why Lynn should be trying their best to use up the team points available to replace him.

Could Freddie be about to do the biggest u-turn in the history of the sport and sign for Ippo?

That’s a reach. Anyone who misses a meeting on medical grounds has to sit 7 days out and has for quite some time.

Yep But Janowski on 7.77 would be magic!

Off the top of my head, what about Stan Tebby and Stan Bear?

Luckily Chris Louis don't think like the promoter up the rd at Lynn coz if he did he'd of pulled a fast one and got the meeting cancelled coz of rider shortage, which tbf would've been a valid reason with the side being put out tonight, Scotty, Blodorn and R/R is bad enough as it is instead of Doyle, Ellis and King, and no disrespect to young Hodder but he ain't a patch on Dan with the form he's been in this season, Ipi only hope is they keep it as close as poss for the return leg on Thurs which then again will be a guest fest

i think over the years we may have seen a lot more ambulances on track if it had been the old wooden fence, Unlike some air fences the foam fence doesn't lift up when riders hit it. Where i stand Luke Harrison hit the fence almost leg first at speed and was able to walk away from it so it is doing its job

Keep your nose out you and i dont know the cost of anything,am sure if had happened at poole u would have a different view!

https://x.com/ipswichspeedway/status/1797606377311154336?s=46 At least the admin has retained a sense of humour. Guess all you can do is laugh at this point!

Scotty can multi task and jump from his bike over to the mic as he's already in the pits

Has been said today Dan has Covid

She's active on social media listing the meetings she has planned in the UK & Germany including the Women's Speedway Academy and Women's World Cup towards the end of the month.

I think it depends massively on who is replacing MPT & Josh P for this fixture. I'd expect Sheffield's reserves to struggle so if Lynn's heat leaders cab score well then I reckon a win on the night is quite possible. And would be long overdue.

Exactly that, most if not all Polish track's are prepared the same and made for throttle jockeys, pin the throttle and hold on pretty much, they ain't technical and varied tracks like you find in the UK and also have to ride in difficult conditions at times.

Any Team will struggle too make significant changes these days with the low points limit.Most riders can just about ride to their average.Think a few fans were questioning this years signings before the season even started and they have been proved right.You are still watching exciting speedway though which is a bonus.

From what I read, he decided not to take Latvian citizenship years ago as Latvia does not allow dual citizenship and he didn't want to give up his Russian passport.

The Edinburgh situation wasn’t planning related. The ‘brochures etc’ was a campaign to drum up support within the community and local businesses and encouraging locals to canvas their Councillors to support it. At no time did the Edinburgh management consider it a done deal. They went to great lengths to produce a viable presentation for the Council. There was a £400,000 offer on the table from a business man and the community project from the Monarchs. The local council were initially supportive, but ultimately they decided to take the money. A lot of people bust their asses trying to make this happen and to have it end the way it did was a massive disappointment. To dismiss those efforts as ‘shouting off’ and ‘hadn’t even got planning permission’ is a cheap, uninformed shot.

That's no excuse, as soon as it was obvious Pawlicki was on form, Ermolenko should have been planning to use him early, so he wouldn't get 4 on the trot later. Another option would be using Lampart in heat 13 as r/r to give Pawlicki a rest, then use Pawlicki in heat 14. Flint wouldn't have needed a 4th ride.

yes he was one of them all or nothing riders. class entertainer.

Wojdylo will be at number 2... So it definitely depends who guests for MPT... My guess is Si Lambert and maybe we’ll have Lawson at 1 if Musielak isn’t quite fit yet (unless Tigers have already snaffled him to guest for back door Pickering) haha

Yeah think been rule for a while now if don't start season in a league can only go back to it on converted average. Assume worked same with cookie when signed for Oxford used his champ converted rather than his previous seasons prem version.

JK`s excellent racecard https://www.speedwayservice.at/images/racecards/2024/BF2024.pdf

Is that a yes then!?

It would be logical to be allowed a replacement to his average since he has done so well.But this is Speedway we are talking about .

Nope, can't agree with that at all. Wide variety of shapes - wider/narrower and the material is different. Requires different skills/technique. Continental riders have pretty much always struggled over here until experienced and vice versa.

Pedersen could be a 28 meter replacement?

Who is the Ipswich Rising Star? Edwards isn’t classed as one this year is he with being at number 6 for Sheffield?

There are a couple of exceptions.

Scott can be used but only as a guest#1, ie., for Jason.

Emil aside, the Ipswich team looks average at best. You’d expect Pawlicki to do some damage at reserve. Name of the game for the Witches tonight is to keep it close enough to give us the chance of winning the tie on Thursday. The final isn’t until September so if we can manage to get through here, it’ll give us the opportunity to get the team sorted and settled. Rew will probably have to take at least one R/R ride for Doyle so put him in heat one to get dialled in before heat two.

No that's fair enough... I'm obviously not the only one who thought it was a done deal, there were people reporting it as if it was going to happen on various socials, websites and podcasts

Nothing wrong with that yet I've had days when I'm not fit to work, but went back the following day. It does mean, if Covatti doesn't ride in Plymouth's next match he should get a 28 day ban.

Not sure who has suggested Nicholls for Doyle, Nicholls on a 28day for Ellis if not fit yeah. Nobody suggested Nicki Pedersen yet

must admit i did like Gregory 1st when he was riding for Lublin a few years ago.

Up and down tho ...not in the class of most other number 5's
