Just amazing speedway from Poland again... Can't ask for much more than that from any sporting contest... All played out in front of a huge crowd too to add the atmosphere....

Why would someone laugh at these posts? Seems in very poor taste!

Don't worry it was Belle Vue kevlars or did you forget that aswell 🧐

You could say the same about Glasgow.

They should hold the first leg at Glasgow, forecast looks fine... for commercial reasons obviously 😜

Done exactly this for my parents last year, got them a smart TV and BSN is simple to find on the web browser, my only complaint and be it a small one is that sometimes for some unknown reason it will log itself out so have to sign back in again every now and then, and my parents who are both in their early 80's ain't quite grasped the art of signing back in or using the QR code as an option to sign in, luckily im only a 5 min drive away so I'll just quickly pop round and sign them back in, and finally the BSN coverage is like night and day compared to what Eurosport normally dish up🤨

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/RJysKU8p3NRzPPaj/ Today's meeting has been postponed. New date to be arranged.

Unfortunately “the set up “ is more and more important these days to the point now where even in British speedway if you don’t have it close you won’t even be competitive and that’s sad

Well I guess that’s the best we could really do. Danny needs to improve from recent form. Bomber a fair replacement for Ben at home. Just like the premier league, the playoffs are being affected by injuries. The injury to Ben couldn’t have come at a worse time and clearly affects us. Think it’s the first time he has been out since joining us. Can only do the best we can and hope it’s enough. Best of luck to Danny and Bomber.

Can't wait second leg at King's Lynn herree wee goo

Feel for Bydgoszcz but congratulations to rybnik deserved it in the end

Sadly that might well have just won it for Rybnik

Don't forget running around getting parts and picking up and dropping off riders at airports etc , picking up and dropping engines off at the tuner,I can definitely say it's turned into a full time job and the money unless your very lucky to work for a generous rider isn't that great and holding down a regular job is very difficult when your getting home from meetings very late at night . When I did it my annual leave soon got used up and I lost money over the years not to mention the time apart from the family especially if you have children that during the season you hardly see. It's not for everyone, young, free and single with no financial commitment is who it suits nowadays. IMO.

Not technical at all, all you have to do is change a tyre,check tyre pressure, turn a wheel,change sprocket and chain links, adjust ignition and maybe change a jet size and fuel up, that’s pretty much everything you do at a meeting, in a workshop you just strip parts, wash bike and parts and reassemble, checking nothing has broke, bent or worn, strip carb, wash it and reassemble, adjusting arm setting with dial gauge, very rarely mechanic will touch engine settings, you might check tappet gaps but no exactly rocket science, you have to work quick these days but mostly you are at the riders instructions but If you have riding experience you can give your input, it helps to know what changes will do like jetting/gearing etc but you pick these things up as you go along it’s my opinion you could go from an average Joe to become a fully competent mechanic in one season, it’s pretty basic mechanics, one thing that has to learnt is trust, the rider must trust you 100%

They could add Sheffield in to make a three team final.... More away fans at every match... Like they successfully did with the Jubilee C..... Oh, hang on, never mind, as you were...

My Mrs is a stoke city season ticket holder for her sins and stoke subsidise quite a lot of the away travel to matches,some of the matches are practically free and also reduced ticket prices at a a lot of the games, Friday night 7 of the family went to the home game with hull and 4 of them went free, I didn’t go as I had painted a wall and needed to watch it dry but it basically is the sort of thing speedway should do, maybe not all the time but certainly to playoff and TV meetings

an example of how amateurish british speedway can be unfortunately

I always wondered why league 1 and 2 teams could take 20 - 30,000 fans to the Wembley play offs when their average home gate is between 3-4,000, 😁

All smart TVs have a web browser, go to watch.britishspeedway.co.uk You will see a QR code, open your camera on your phone, you will be prompted to log in via your phone, your TV will then show the BSN site! Some other top tips: the square icon bottom right makes it full screen. On the race card under the video panel if you click on a heat it will take you to that heat. Right at the bottom on the left there is always a link to download a free race card in case you want to print it off and fill it in as you go! Thanks for the nice comments all and enjoy the playoffs!

Bydgoszcz will be a sell out today- demand for tickets was so great they have installed extra seating for today. It’s going to be tense !!

A phonecall from Mr Vatcher informed them during the meeting so Kemp withdrawn from last race.

Tom Brennan replaces Lebedevs in the Challenge.

Possibly although he is based and works for Allied in Glasgow, if he is going to consider a return either Club would be a good fit. I agree though Workington would be a good choice to regain his mojo but I wouldn’t be against a Glasgow return either. Whatever he decides hopefully regaining his confidence and enthusiasm for the sport sees him return next season.

How the hell does the SEC have a route to the GP series? We need open qualifiers that any rider, could theoretically qualify for. Not closed shops or wildcard picks for sponsors monster mates. The selection is a farce right now.

As somebody who squeezed into Brandon to watch the double header league decider vs Hull & Leicester I can attest that pay offs are not needed to completely fill a speedway stadium

Doyle absolutely. If, and a big if, Emil and Artem come back, that leaves 1. Has to be Michelson surely.

So why contradict yourself? If you want the "best", then Doyle certainly should be there. Or was that just a fluke the way he started the season?

If you look at kings scores at Oxford they have been better than cook this season and bomber in the playoffs always delivers a big performance as he did last season for Glasgow when he dominated the Poole ht leaders so the only effect imo is it's made Poole stronger.

I'd certainly say it's got alot to do with it , fair play to the polish mechanics that come over and work till they realise the cost of living here. Don't get me wrong, there's a good few mechanics that make it work, I think it's down to personal circumstances imo.

I thought Leicester finished top ? 😉😂

Yes I agree, my previous post was just about what is actually involved technically, yes it is a full time job, well sort of because there are weeks sometimes when you have no meeting cause rain off or whatever and yes you feel like sometimes you’re living in airport car parks, I was always well planned well in advance with my work(own business) and got customers to know the riders away meetings so tied work round them so that worked out well and this worked in my riding days too, you would often see my van loaded with bikes and work stuff and tied one in with the other

His girlfriend is one of Glasgow volunteers I believe I've seen elsewhere

NKI is the guest

Rules, not just one! Never did hear if he was fined for publicly criticising the referee at Glasgow in July.

Szostak i would imagine

Transponder I think,nothing to do with the bike itself

Like him of Loathe him Madsen should get a GP Wildcard pick IMO.

Happy that Lebedevs won this.

For such a small production it is a class act.Hits all the right notes regarding Riders interaction and pits stuff.Have to say guest riders Rory and Sedgy are superb at summarising the action track without shouting their head off.

If Magic is out, then I'd fancy Gorzow to pull it back

congrats Lebedevs

Peter Collins won here his world title

U21/youth events don't have great attendance, but I think that would only partially apply to NDL. People prefer to support a team, generally. NDL provides that, albeit the level would put some off.

All for Monster asking Sayfutdinov to come back into the series as he is sponsored by Red Bull !!

Of course... If they made the "qualifiers" worth attending... More would actually attend.... What an outrageous concept...

Bears Facebook said he was ill

They will have who they want. No-one will be exempted. This is Speedway. This is Poole Poole are run by one of the 4 Management Committee Members; Oxford are NOT. The Cabal will meet, the Blue and White smoke will be spotted above the roofs of Rugby. Vatcher will be called in to adjudicate on behalf of the Cabal - erm sorry CCB - Cabal Control Board. He will pronounce forthwith- "The Rules are the Rules until the Rules are unfair Rules for those that make the Rules therefore on this occasion the rule makers have trashed the Rules and made new temporary Rules for the good of the Cabal (stet - Sport)...."

He doesn't know the rules,just thinks he does.

Another one added, soon I will be typing to myself...hello, hello...
