It was not funny when Woffinden fell off ... very few falls are. He picked up some grip and did well to dump his bike into the last bit of air fence on the 4th bend. British Speedway has been crying out for some personalities and, dare I say it, "baddies", but now Woffinden is fulfilling that sort of role, people start moaning! Before the meeting, Woffinden was the only rider I saw who stopped and talked to fans, posing for numerous photos/selfies, before going into the pits.

Could someone please start a special topic for @Trackrat and @LagutaRacingFan to post in so they can leave the rest of us in peace?

Kettle, Pot, Black......

You think you're old.... 1, 2, 3, 4 let us hear the Brandon roar, B E E S, Bees

Leicester! Centrally located, great parking, just up the road from me and crucially... universally hated

We didn't have Social Media back then, so it wasn't mandatory...

Get a life ffs

No your right, just thought the way he went in feet first but obviously remembering it wrong

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.

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

Careful mate that’s a far too level headed, balanced post for this forum! Haha

Yes never the same after that, I asked him about it a couple of seasons ago and he thought at the time walking again might be difficult let alone riding again. One of those occasions where the whole crowd goes quiet.

Another 28 day ban coming up... as his name is not Brady Kurtz

16 from the guests which is probably 4 less then Doyle or Danny would have got between them and Emil still struggling Though we can’t judge it to much against a side who are beaten before they come to Foxhall …

Laguta (2023), Jakobsen (2023) and Tarasenko (2024)…

Really? I’ll be amazed if Sheffield hit 40

Lovely attitude to have

The council have spoken (it must be election time)https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/24375749.swindon-council-leader-says-abbey-stadium-will-not-used-housing/

A local article about Bysarna who knows aims towards 500 cc activity and perhaps a 500 cc team in the future. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/ost/speedwayklubben-bysarna-satsar-mot-toppen-igen-svt-traffar-framtidens-forare

I like how you edited my post

Now put it in English

Imagining it i reckon because it’s held on the traing track out the back of the main stadium- wasn’t televised in 2023.

His bikes are coming over this week but with the GP, the chances of a spin before Monday is looking unlikely apparently. From what I've been told we first approached Kvech after the Warsaw GP but he said no. But I certainly think the influence of Sitera and Topinka played a part in the change of heart, plus he's been having a tough time at Zielona Gora. Big Fil is coming over with him for first couple of meetings I think.

I hope he bangs in a max

Thankfully we were there to enjoy it

That'll make Thursday more interesting.

Can’t believe he let the cat out of the bag during the Scunthorpe v Berwick meeting on Friday

Musielak/Brennan (G) Wojdylo Iversen Basso Klindt Kemp (G) Rowe

It was a bit odd, but I was delighted to see Leigh Adams as the all time top averaged rider.

Move it to Poland, I say!!!

Thought it was a decent meeting. No rider dominated and the 2 tyres and having to think when to change the tyre or use the other edge gave it a slightly different tactical element.. Overall thought Bewley, Brennan and Woffinden were the standouts. Bewley with an excellent pass in the final and good to see former Eastbourne Eagle Tom Brennan qualify for British SGP at Cardiff. He has come a long way from his first race in the National League at Arlington that didn't last more than turn 1. Was also impressed with Anders Rowe who was in amongst it and deserves recognition for his efforts. Overall a pretty enjoyable meeting and the good to see a decent crowd and possibly the biggest flag in British Speedway - Redcar Bears

You don’t know what you’re going to get with Wroclaw that’s the problem.

Really enjoyed last night. Great being a Saturday night and did seem to have a good size crowd especially with the amount of people standing around us in the standing area and looking over the the home straight majority of the stand filled. First few heats of the meeting seemed to go slow then picked up from there some hard quality racing . Brennan I would say is the most improved rider in the last 12 months and if this continues at the same level of consistency you could say he will be right up there next year. Tai somehow pulled it out the bag when it mattered most but was good to see him not having it all his own way showed to me that there is still a little bit in there that can race. Rowe impressed me gave it a good go. I know Bewley won on the night but all three “GP” riders had to work for it nothing came easy for them I would say. Worrall scored well which can only be a good thing for Birmingham. Harris - this guy can still go, makes you proud to be British. Only criticism from me and trying to be constructive for the product and correct me if I’m wrong and it did happen. would of be great to see a “fan zone” meet and great signing with the riders and their merchandise. maybe some racing in the afternoon prior to the event (youngsters and females) etc. interviews on the centre green between heats and grading with past winners 80’s, 90’s, etc just my thoughts

Something to do with the funding of it I think

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

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!

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.

I wish all my desires came true in just 2 days

Great to see Dan get three on the bounce. Delighted that Tom B gets the wild card at Cardiff. great racing and lots of entertainment. Plaudits to Anders Rowe and Connor Mountain for producing a good performance in the British Final. The NSS IS A MARVELLOUS TRACK and should hold the British Final every year. You only have to listen to the riders when they applaud it as a great race track. Hyde road had the BLRCF every year and produced outstanding meetings …. often far superior to the one off World Finals Roll on the Speedway of Nations for another feast of entertainment and hopefully gold for GB. Hope that they now keep the final to a Saturday night so that there will be a greater attendance than on a Monday.

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

Iainb can’t help himself

I've never been a big Rory fan but this is sad news. I'd imagine that having retired once and come back, this may be career ending definitely season ending. With the exception of possibly R Worrall there would be very few replacements available, a fact that is overlooked in my opinion. It's all very well to hope for new clubs or returning clubs but where are the riders at heat leader level especially but also second string and credible reserves to staff them. Further reduction of second tier points limit or advent of six man teams would appear to be the only logical solution.

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

I think some people take it all a bit too seriously.

You can't prove that it's just your opinion

What a complete fool you are , speedway riders get inured daily on speedway tracks all over Europe .its the nature of the sport when 4 riders and machines come into contact during official meetings or practice for racing . The bikes now are faster then previous years, they race on a track with shale on it with usually 4 riders coming into the first bend with a limited space for the machines so there is always going to be crashes and injuries . I’ve watched racing at over 40 tracks in Britain over the years and the chances of serious injuries occurs at all of them .Your digs are always aimed at Scunthorpe or there promotion and is getting tedious I would like to wish Rory all the best in his recovery and hope to see him on a track soon as he has been a brilliant servant to British speedway and first watched him as a 16 year old at Sheffield.

Nearly every single club is broke, sponsorship is the only thing keeping this sport alive

I like football, I pay money to my club, Bristol City, to listen and watch the streams officially available to me helping put money into my team. I do exactly the same with the excellent service BSN provide for us, I pay my money firstly to watch and secondly to pay for the work they do for us and the sport. Shame on anybody who gets by this on the cheap when the sport needs help.
