Anyone here tonight should qualify for the winter fuel allowance. It's disgustingly cold.

Finding a replacement for Klindt is one thing, but for both him and Musielak would be nigh on impossible at this stage of the season. Hopefully what ever the issues are with Tobi, they can be worked out through commonsense.

Yes they are very weak, but it was the management committee who decided to weaken the league to such an extent, that all clubs have got Development league riders in their teams this season . Sam McGurk is not the only rider struggling. Poole have struggled for a No7. Trigger up until last week hadn’t pulled up too many trees. Berwick's Young reserve is struggling, Edinburgh 's reserves are up and down. The young lad at Glasgow looks out of his depth. In all truth a lot of these boys should not be riding in the championship, all it's doing is draining them of there confidence. Nine times out of ten they only score points off of each other or if a 1-5 rider has an e/f or falls! The management committee voted for it, no doubt to save money. So it is them and not the young lads, fans should be moaning at.

A bit rude and overly aggressive but it's not a duplicate thread, it's a thread with, hopefully now, the correct date (a bit of finger trouble). A polite note would have sufficed. I thought having a thread with the correct date on may just grab people who didn't know it was on to maybe attend and boost the SRBF coffers, I probably shouldn't have bothered.

Fine. Sometimes people can't say it all in the public domain. That's all.

Brilliant nice bit of practice before SON for him, also Dan who is in sgp2 SON squad. Can't see us getting much from here tbh

Looks like Max Perry is guesting on Weds. Also Ben and Tom swap places.

Didn't take long for Tobi to realise how unprofessional Buster is. KL fans deserve better.

Completely disagree. I would say and it is happening more often than not Sheffield are winning bonus point so far in the league, and I would back us to keep this up for the rest of the season. There is one club that I think we have and will struggle with beating over two legs and that is Ipswich, and that is even with or without Jason Doyle.

100% agree, when the limit is lowered, it's rarely the top riders who miss out (unless they want to) so it's the 4/5/6 points riders who tend to lose their team places, meaning a bigger gap between the top & bottom riders. In an ideal world the top 9 riders in the league should be leaving the Champ, doing Prem & possibly Poland, leaving room for the next group of NDL prospects.

Ahhhh, so you're calling someone out about their source and not delivering your own source as evidence to why they're wrong. For certain you can't say the clubs been run well for the last decade so what 4BM says, stands up quite well within recent history

As has been said a number of times, while Sonny may be impressing people up and down the land, he isn't sixteen until later in the year........

Nobody would be shocked to hear that

Careful... you've left it wide open for Laguta to be suggested...

We've experienced the brutal reality of guests this week....you could make a strong argument that they won us the meeting on Monday and lost us the tie last night. As Rob said no lack of effort but those three guests were never going to match the riders they replaced. I'm convinced we'd have got 41 with a full side but we didn't and good luck to Sheffield against Hawkins and Co in the final.

Be good to see young Tate around Ashfield again , he created quite an impression when Workington were here earlier in the season

The Championship is at rock bottom regardingTeam Strengths.Self interest still prevails ,admission prices still rising it’s not all rosy.IMO. Streaming is helping a few Clubs.IMO.

No thank you. The championship has suffered enough due to other leagues not being able to operate successfully.

Looks like the Championship will have to reduce in strength to provide a platform for these youngsters to establish themselves as the NDL is no longer viable. So perhaps it is not that some of these kids shouldn't be riding in the Championship but that some of the top riders should be moving on up.

Same ndl track ones at belle vue ones at Edinburgh

Vinnie is good prospect,but this continued weakening of the League does but a lot more pressure for young riders to perform above their average.It is a big step up for these guys. Not many have make a huge impact .

I do agree with you but Celina is in a no win situation here (apart from the meeting). She is being used as an "inclusive" box ticking exercise by the Workington promotion and the FIM when it's suits them. She's nowhere near the same standard as Championship middle order riders but at the same time she is far too good for the other female riders. I've nothing against a lady riders World Championship but it is simply a novelty meeting.

I do get where you’re coming from, there’s turning left and then there’s turning left if you know what I mean which is what lasse seen red about. Takes a bit to get to lasse as he’s a very chilled and laid back guy. Same could also be said about lambert’s mechanic and the plonker in the hi-vis jacket. However it’s speedway we move on and go again.

To have any chance of making the playoffs we need Leon to be outperforming his average especially at Ashfield. He seems to recognise he loses momentum running high and wide on the corners and sticks to the inner third at the kerb which doesn't always yield results. Better teams will be calling soon and we shouldn't take too much from tonight's scoreline.

Bomber been good all year, brother Steve has definitely got his act together lately and Leon is doing better. I'm still not convinced by him around ashfield but mist definitely improving. We might scrape into play offs but will be quickly dispatched if we do

I agree with all being the same distance from the tapes but once he turns around they just roll back to where they was anyway, it’s all a bit Mike Dean make it about me.

That’s Polish Speedway full stop- nothing wrong with that. Up to the tapes and straight. Every league should follow their lead.

Reading the stats Badge, we raced 11 meetings there, 11 defeats. Tells you all you need to know really. We’re cr@p there.

The two unnecessary left turns on the straights not enough? 16/17 doesn’t matter, moves like that are what causes accidents.

The Wroclaw start marshall is so ott with wanting them in a certain position.

Lambert got half a brain cell if he’s lucky. Hard riding and good to see from lasse as he’s normally on the receiving end of it. Harrison turned left twice on the back straight so rightly give a bit back.

I forget where I read this,but it was probably in Classic Speedway, and it was on the lines of “ you didn’t need to leave a on gap for Ove , he would come through whether there was a gap or not and whether he needed to or not”. By all accounts it seems Ove had to win every race even if it meant knocking his own team mates out of the way ! Somewhat surprisingly the same was said about Nigel Boocock- by his own brother Eric !

Congratulations to Leon Flint who has been named as Team GB captain for their up and coming SON2 meeting at Belle Vue.

Oh dear, you've totally missed the point. I'd never say who, they, it, them are. That's the most stupid thing anyone could do. That results in no more information to the fans that deserve to know some 'behind closed doors' information. The point is, don't call bullpoop on someone else's 'source' information unless you're willing to disclose your own source. I'd never call anyone a liar, just sometimes situations change and outcomes are different to the information, doesn't mean they were ever wrong.

Max Perry is a rider I admired last season at Northside, would be a good replacement for Sam.

PAID FOR ALL MEETINGS CANT WAIT. SHOULD BE SOME GOOD RACING IN THE SEMIS.

Would have defo been a close one on aggregate but would of fancied Sheffield still

Scottie rolling back the years, team riding the younger lads was a joy to watch. Great performance from the lads, and a speedy recovery to Adam, we need you back to full fitness. Emil and Keynan wow.

Tobi would make a great replacement for Jason Doyle.

Never mind Poole waiting dates for the KO Cup semi final, we're still waiting dates for the Jubilee Final !

I'd give my mate a go.......Tom Spencer (Leicester Cubs) in the short term at least. He has got his average up to 8.48 in the NDL this season and he said to me that he would like a go at the Championship. I guess he would come in on a 2 point average. But like any rider on such an average don't expect the world from him. All this bickering about who is better than who, at the end of the day these lads are a 2 point rider for a reason. Anyway, c'mon Tom now is your time to shine

Riss and Kerr fail to beat an opponent between them again, we are drifting along aimlessly with points to spare.

He does have a tendency to ride a tight inside line most of the time which is a dodgy style on patchy tracks. IMO He got away with it at Glasgow because track conditions suited his style.Wish him well though and hope he has a speedy recovery.

There's not enough clubs in the league for riders to hold grudges.

Yeah foord falls off far more

Current form Matt Marson would be worth a look. Nearly 2 points higher average than McGurk at the same NDL track and far more technically gifted.

I accept that would be a perfect situation but where is the money coming from? With riders desperate to scurry off to Poland in search of the big money, what is the incentive on teams to invest in young riders? As with football, there needs to be a trickle down of cash from top to bottom to help fund the future. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem there’s any spare cash at the top so this isn’t going to happen. Rider development will therefore continue to be a selfish activity with those willing and able to provide training facilities expecting to be rewarded either through using the riders they “develop” or signing them up then selling or loaning them.

100% agree that the live experience can't be bettered... I remember vividly taking my kids to their first meeting a few years ago and their faces were a picture as 4 riders hurtled towards the 1st bend showing no signs of giving an inch - That first experience has obviously stayed with them, because even as teenagers, I say I'm going to speedway and who wants to come and generally they are keen. If I ask if anyone is joining me to watch speedway on BSN or eurosport, then I know the answer already... they are not at all interested. So live will always reign supreme, but promoters have got to find new ways of applying the 'hook' in the first place.

Pic on bspa site showing cami sharing the win,u should have seen him leaving northside after the mighty comets beat the tigers was the fastest start by someone from glasgow that day

That's some skill, must have been trained up in that last time he was in prison?!? They say men can't multi-task
