If you did a bit of research of PL matches you'd find Mr Nicholls can still mix it up at that level too.

Absolutely not. Lambert’s improvement went up levels after leaving British Speedway. Riding in the Elitserien was his turning point

They're still wearing King's Lynn bibs riding for King's Lynn at King's Lynn you absolute melt.

Considering he is riding as a heat leader and not had a spell at reserve like last season any increase on his average is impressive. Brennan has improved this year.

Don't tell anybody, especially the Poole fans (like they'd see this on a PL topic!)... but I actually think the move to Poole has done wonders for him, had to improve his gating as it's such a dog rubbish track

Although I’ve only come into the sport a few years back and never claim to know that much about it, I still feel like going to each home meeting is worth it. I live in Ipswich so I guess I don’t have to travel far but the team try and they are in the final and the play offs so I believe showing some support is always key and back the team. They have given us a great year so far even with injuries. To not back them now seems disappointing, win or lose it doesn’t matter. The sport needs building for sure, but everyone can be part of it.

Genuine question for Lynn fans. Would you have Laguta back for next year?

Another “set-up”.Osbourne knows every trick in the book,and has the contacts.

Reality check, if the attendance was indeed 29000 or thereabouts, that's 3 times the capacity of Belle Vue, even with the maximum additional stands. The parking and local facilities are not acceptable. There would be the same issues with accomodation prices as there are in Cardiff, as there are anywhere that's holding a major event. There are always geographical and transport issues for some no matter where you hold it. Finally, at Cardiff, It's guaranteed to take place regardless of the weather thanks to the roof. some people need to give their head a shake and look at the bigger picture instead of this fixation with 'It's got to move to Belle Vue'

I don’t even own an elk !!!

Nothing sums up this forum like the number of people prepared to come on this thread and tell us how bad Cardiff is and how they will never go! Who cares? Those of us who make a big effort for the weekend seem to love it! My partner and I enjoyed meeting some great speedway fans from up and down the country, enjoyed the racing, couldn't fail to love the result and thoroughly enjoyed the impromptu Q&A with Tai after the event. Thanks Tai! We're also going to Riga & Torun, which will probably cost less together than Cardiff, but it is the only speedway themed weekend in Britain. Posters throughout the city centre, stalls with 'dodgy' merchandise on the Main Street, streets closed for fans - don't remember anything like that in Manchester for the SoN?? It would be great to see two SGPs in Britain but did Belle Vue do themselves any favours with their overpriced tickets, resulting in a big temporary stand looking empty? Again the two of us enjoyed ourselves in Manchester for a weekend, but lets not have a competition for the best - lets get together for both!

In a stronger league also…

no it was purely numbers why fricke had to leave and if he had choice we all know where he would prefer

Come on a bundle since he left Belle Vue

As you say Steve, Belle Vue acted within the rules.

Race night is Saturday or Tuesday, planning constraints.

Luckily Anders likes being at Lynn, loves the track and would have it more grippy if he could. He also enjoys working with Rob who is one the best in the business. So some of these comments are laughable.

he's averaged 5.08 at home and a great 4.85 away for us this season. Would be an absolute bargain on 3.7.

Both Harris and Lawson can guest for either Jan, BB, or Klindt. King can guest for Jan and BB. Picko, Becker, Wright, Masters, z Cook, Brennen, can guest for NKI, or any of the 4. I think it will be 3 guests and RR.

then stop spouting your crap, leave the sport for good,

Surely this is a case of use it, or lose it. Being able to attend a prestigious GP for less than we pay to go to a league match is almost unbelievable. Don't get me wrong. Belle Vue has the potential for better racing. But looking at the big picture, Cardiff wins hands down in terms of a weekend event with no risk of the weather spoiling the event itself. The fear is that if we lose Cardiff, the British GP won't survive.

Actually I've come to the conclusion that Schroeck's tactics were even worse than first thought, I get grief from Oxford fans on FB, but he keeps showing me how clueless he is. The updates made it look like the tac sub was in heat 11, so I had thought why not wait one race & replace a reserve in heat 12? Now I've seen the official scorecard, the tac sub was actually in heat 5, as Harris has taken the r/r outing in heat 1, that means after ONE ride each, both getting second places, Schroeck had decided not to give Wright or Riss an extra ride & instead give the reserves 8 rides between them. He's totally clueless, it's not even like Riss & Wright had poor first rides. Plus at that stage the reserves had taken 3 rides between them & not beaten an opponent. I understand that for Janowski to replace a reserve they'd have to wait to heat 12, but I still think that is the best tactic. If you're only 4 points down after 11 heats, then you're still in with a chance even if you miss the tac sub opportunity. Either that or give Wright the tac sub outing earlier on? But certainly use the tac sub instead of a reserve imo

Shouldn't be any R/R in a DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE, even if the rider coming in has a way lower average than the missing rider who they are covering for, the 1-7 should be switched accordingly with averages on the day!

Happy pills, anyone??

If that's true, isnt that really good? I've been twice and there was more each time, but that was a long time ago. Regarding Manchester hosting a SON and how the finances went, me thinks a week of speedway with a meeting practically every night at the same track was stupid to begin with. And then they had rain... 🫤

Same as when they lose, it's all splashed on here

I had a great weekend in Cardiff, it isn't what it was but it can be brought back. I can't see anywhere having the same feel as Cardiff, it is special from start to finish. Yes there have been cuts but if people don't attend then who funds the extra activities. From day 1 there have been the people on these forums doing the event down, it a world class event for £20-£30. The only area that needs addressing is the hotel pricing, organisers and council should intervene and sort this out, more people staying for the weekend boosts Cardiff economy and income for organisers. As a second British GP could Odsal be considered?

New housing estate in Studley Grange incoming to fund the non existent track, look at all those grazing unicorns and flying pigs.

Gave him engines and mechanics, and also helped him with the mental side of the sport... Toughened him up a fair bit I would suggest... And, as for Brennan, decent progression this season.. A fair few average bashing Ht 15's yet has posted a decent figure, especially often carrying a poor team...

king of the pricks more like

pathetic reply

To be fair... In a HL position this year, not a SS/Reserve...

Fixture Planning at it best this season.Shambles

Just watched him race completely fine in the vs Lublin play off match! A lot of heavy crashes in that meeting!

No, it isn’t an opinion it’s fact.

Actually, look at Brennan since he left the Aces.

I would bet Garry has spoken to him. Probably doesn’t fancy a bank holiday Saturday road trip from his East Anglian base to Plymouth especially with a meeting at Worky on the Sunday.

I'd totally have Rowe back next year, riding to a 4.9 average, but available on 3.7, complete no brainer for me.

NO

Young Adelaide rider Teagan Pedler has made the trip over for the meeting, she is quite a tidy rider that will be in the top 3 i believe. Chopper

Tells its own story…….when there’s the rare occurrence of passing at Poole it gets splashed on here…..lol

Only one team brought a rider in just for the play offs alone. That was play off Bob in 2022. Thankfully the rules have been changed back to stop teams doing this again, particularly as just the one team benefited from it. Poole brought in Hancock a month before the play offs also. Both above board.

"the contempt they have for the supporters"...what unsubstantiated nonsense you write! The injuries were unpredictable, without which we would still be top of the league, and as for "making no attempt to replace Doyle", that is uninformed drivel. Maybe spend some time away from the keyboard, in the real world, and you might see what is really happening.

To be fair they're probably the best crappest team I think I've seen, they've had so many close results at home and have been far from disgraced away at times. Tolley has to take full responsibility for the signing of Milik & Pavlwlicki though. Milik was a gamble but Pawlicki was very much a known quantity.

Heard 29000.?

Spot on .. A 3 match series each season (early doors before Poland and Sweden kick off), v Australia, Poland, Denmark or Sweden, would make a great way to kick off the domestic season . Glasgow, Poole, and Manchester... Might generate some decent coverage? Six man teams, 18 heats....

This deserves every emoji - brilliant
