I would take Phil Mickelson before Laguta and I doubt he's anywhere near the top 22

absolutely no problem with the format or venue....try stopping to find fault with something that is a credit to British speedway.

its funny because I came away from last nights meeting thinking we had a good balance of British riders right now...some really promising youngsters and also some "seniors" for them to learn off......when you think of some of the doom and gloom around the sport, thought last night was quite refreshing.

What's the point of having a National Speedway Staduim not used for National Events Especially on TV which produces top Racing not gate & go boring stuff by the the way bewley was beaten 3 times last night and if was a normal 20 heat meeting brennan would have won the title and they wouldn't have been much moaning about home advantage then woffinden had home advantage at wolves for his 3 titles then did he ?? best rider wins on the night simple

I'm sure Glasgow or Workington would disagree.

Sadly this will go down as my dad's last meeting (well over 1500 home meetings at Owlerton) as he passed away suddenly in the early hours of today. He first went as a 17 year old in 1960,the track record was about 72 seconds,he got to see Jack go round in 58.92 aged 81. He was still watching racing from Poland last evening on TV,first Jack's Polish team then when that got curtailed,we ended up watching big brother Chris and Tobi! It pleased him to see Kyle back on form,he liked riders like Kyle,the mainstay of league speedway riders down the years,but his absolute favorite rider was Jim Airey.

Ok Chris, i'm in, but its 200 sovs a point.. Yeah?

Lol, bang average riders, some of you keyboard racers must have been good. Cheers Chopper

Birmingham fans must be bewildered by watching pawlicki in Poland, likewise Wrocław fans must be bewildered by watching woffinden in England

I knew the forum clown would chip in at some point

Is there really much in the “ home track advantage “ thing ? Speedway is such a fickle sport depended on so many unforseeable and unquantifiable factors that I would have thought that the higher up the order you get the more you should be capable of riding anywhere especially if you aspire to becoming a champion. There used to be a Swedish rider you may vaguely remember, Norbold, a chap by the name of Fundin. His famous comment was “ I want someone to build me a bike to get me to the first bend first, then I’ll do the rest “ . Surely the sign of a true champion is that as long as he has a decent bike he can “ do the rest “? I thought it was a pretty decent meeting last night. Incredible to think that under the old 20 heat formula Tom Brennan would be British Campion now. I

I'd be amazed if Bomber let anyone win, anywhere, any day of the week. And especially as it was very apparent that he felt cheated of a (final?) Cardiff appearance after the British Final rain off 2 years ago. And the fans clearly wanted to see him at Cardiff again, as he received the biggest cheer before the start when he was paraded as one the previous winners.

Obviously you have not been or seen racing from worky or Glasgow

Condolences. RIP.

I’ve seen enough this season now to predict a Lublin vs Gorzow final.

He has really moved up a level this season, it is refreshing that he has upped his potential that we all knew he had. Well done Tom couldn’t have happened to a nicer young man , he is sorely missed at Glasgow but last season the travelling was taking it’s toll.

Some great races

Janowski is back on it. Cracking pass on Hampel there.

Additionally for Zielona Góra v Wrocław: https://vk.com/video-19139906_456240346 https://vk.com/video-53550004_456241772

Something to do with the funding of it I think

There’s not another premiership track I’d want the meeting at, quite often when I see meetings at different tracks on tv I think I couldn’t watch this every week, Belle Vue is still the best place to host it as chances are you’re going to get a decent meeting there. The ‘home advantage’ element of it you’d get at any track, it’s unavoidable.

If this pans out I for one will be pretty pleased with that, can’t be compared to Doyle on these shores very few can but I think once he’s found the set up he’ll do well at ipswich, decent style for turning the bike and more technical tracks, never knows when he’s beat and doesn’t heavily rely on gating

Imagine if it was held at Sheffield every season with Tai riding there, or Lambert at King's Lynn, or even Scott Nicholls at Ipswich. Belle Vue fans would start a riot!

so just how many teams in the SON have four out and world class riders?

Looked like Bewley rode close to Wright's left leg out of frustration as they slowed down. Don't think there was anything wrong with the race, was hard but fair

Delighted for Leon Flint who has qualified for this years SGP2 series after he came through his qualifying round in Macon France last night as I know it was high on his list of achievements for this season. The first of the three finals will be held at Malilla Sweden this coming Friday, the second final will be at Riga Latvia on the 6th of September with the third final at Torun Poland on the 27th of September.

Think that takes a bit away from Brennan to be fair, who was outstanding all night. Given what Cardiff means to Harris, I'm not so sure he'd give up another chance to get back there for one last time.

Good thing the World Final wasn't held at Wembley every year, eh?

Back in the olden days when the sun shone all season and there was passing in every race and GB ruled the shale as we're oft reminded, the BLRC was always at Belle Vue and the British Final always at Coventry. I'm sure people used to complain about that too re advantage, but was there ever any suggestion realistically it would be anywhere else? The best riders should be able to win events at any stadium after all, it's not like the NSS is a trick track, and I doubt many riders fear riding it.

What was he smoking at the time?

Wouldn't be surprised if bomber let tom get 3rd spot

Defo not , but you could be a crash test dummy.

Personally I would prefer the 20 heat formula but even that has its downside because four riders get the worst gate twice with no second chance of a semi final. However the nature of speedway is that you need a slice of luck to win anything, and that’s the way it goes.

Wozniak hung sayfutinov out to dry there, it could be argued Emil could of stayed on but imo emils forward momentum would of made him hit the fence anyway, so did the right thing to bail, ref got it wrong imo

Brilliant race in 13

Yeah and fancy having it in Manchester where it might have rained, just ridiculous. As for the home advantage, Bewley won it in 2022 when he wasn't a Belle Vue rider, just sayin...

Though the same he seemed to play about with throttle hand then bailed out

Michelsen would be a great signing.

Joined Eastbourne during the 2013 on a 5 point assessed average. Finished the following season on 6.02. After Eastbourne dropped out of the elite league he had a spell with Leicester in 2015. I don't think he has ridden over here since.

Bewley currently has a home average of 8.40 and away of 7.47, I'm not going to search through every rider but I'd bet you could count the number on one hand of those with a higher away average than home, if any at all... so the answer is yes. Do you think Bewley would have won on any other track? Possibly, would he have beaten Robert Lambert around King's Lynn? The top 3 brits in the "away" averages are 1. Scott Nicholls 2. Tai Woffinden 3. Dan Bewley

I am paying £49 a month for 4 months. Certainly wouldn’t splash £200 in one lump sum.

Wot is this nonsense?

One thing Richie Worrall is right about is having the british final at different venues. It's too predictable who's going to win..

It just needs some properly absorbant fencing in front of the armco, the foam fence just isn't absorbant enough when backed to a rigid structure... not to mention the crappy gym mats placed between the armco and the foam barrier!!! You shouldn't be sustaining the injuries Schlein has by colliding with a foam or air fence... end of!

You get idiots at most tracks I like to think that most supporters support speedway in general.I go to Sheffield to hopefully see good close racing if we win or lose not too bothered as long as the racing is good and close with all riders getting stuck in and there’s no injuries for me the main thing is that all the teams are still there next season

Ricky Ashworth didn't hit the fence he hit his head on the track, Zaine Kennedy went through the backstraight fence (No track has air or polyfoam fences down their straights). You really need to research before spouting crap on forum's
