And most are there because it’s their team not because it’s speedway, it’s tribalism and it’s the very foundation of any team sport but the concept is lost on British speedway

My guess is (sorry to repeat previous) that the drainage itself isn't as much the problem. it's more about being able to empty the sub-track tanks if the vehicles required to be filled with and take away water, and those required to do track maintenance, would need to be driven onto and along a track which is still very soft from the huge amount of recent rain. We wouldn't want a speedway match to be run, with riders having to go either side of a marooned lorry partway along the back straight. The way the money was raised to finance the building of Beaumont Park may have been questionnable, but it was fully privately-funded and didn't have the benefit of any provision from public funds. While it's true that the land it occupies is owned by the local council, the stadium also had to be fitted into a tight space, with restricted vehicular access around the perimeter, especially to the north where the perimeter is an industrial estate. Almost every year, work has been carried out over the winter to try to improve the track and drainage. But sometimes you can't overcome the effects of Mother Nature, so this decision is completely reasonable and sensible.

Now taking place next Monday not Thursday

Actually, it's pedantic 😂

By about 40 years.

What an atmosphere

Maybe ask Leicester to start the game v Bournemouth a bit earlier? 😄

Could always leave the football early

He needs to up his game but listening to crowds reaction to woffinden Wrocław would be crazy to get rid of him

Noticeable that the average age in tge crowd is lower than the UK

Get back to the Championship League forum 🥈

It's only because we had a months worth of rain in 24 hours... there's never been a match cancelled at Leicester because of rubble poking through the track

At last! Some common sense prevails

Bewley and Kurtz are no brainers. They should both be an Ace for the next 10 years unless they want to move on.

Natalie Quirke was the best

Congratulations for the most stupid ill-informed childish post of the day

That's Holes bay. A back water of Poole harbour. Not the English Channel

13675 which is a full house for the 9th time this season(out of nine)

This live on X.

Artem Laguta is the best rider in the world. Zmarzlik should thank Putin for his world title.

Now that is PLAY OFF.crowd👌

Alan loyal to his speedway team! Shovvy should follow suit and stop moaning.

He said on twitter he isn't going to the football!

I think you have a good chance mate, you are better out of the starts and all it takes is for Fricke and Lawson to pop out in heat 1, get something out of heat 2 and you can get on a roll, your top 4 will all be better than at BV, for us we need to get out the starts better and hope our top 4 can take points off Leicester heat leaders as our reserves and Norick could struggle, we have to avoid last places, as you say difficult but certainly doable.

I wonder who for

Has Buster been contacted yet to see if the AFA is free!!

Tom Brennan joins Bydgoszcz for 2025.

Tonight`s link- meeting starts 6pm UK time http://kergel.ucoz.lv/index/live_stream_2/0-12

Yeh but when you ask for grapes you get a bunch

And another one that needs to change the record

I don't understand that personal comments toward Abi. Comment regarding her professional skills, fine, getting personal, you can do better than that. As others have mentioned, directors will be telling her what guff to come up with, directors came up with the stupid #'s, is she going to say 'no - I'll do it my way' absolutely not, she probably appreciates her job. It's easy to switch off for 2 seconds when she's talking if she's ruining the experience for you.

Yes we are trying to get more water shipped in 😛

Totally disagree Danny to be fair scores the points that you would expect. However it’s not all about that is it? The biggest issue is when the chips are down he either goes missing or makes a novice error with riding lines. The semi final at Leicester being a prime example, on a comfortable 5-1 & then falls. Also can’t team ride to save his life I’ve seen more team riding from Nicholls & Brennan in their witches appearances this season than King has managed in the last 5 years.

100%agree regarding the mechanical knowledge of how the bikes works is big part of being able to make the correct changes on set ups.Many of the young Brits do not have that IMO.

Doubt it. Bournemouth are a very exciting team. Most shots other than the top three. Never boring to watch.

Hopefully Starman2006 is being consulted on track prep for the Poole leg of the playoffs, his expertise could be crucial at this time of year.🫢

Nailed on Poole, but makes it interesting to see who signs knowing they will be dropped as soon as cairns is available .

I think Bomber brings something different at home against Oxford. When we lost in August at home I felt our top 3 gave far too much space and respect to Masters and Nicholls which wasn't given back that night! something I hope won't happen again. With Bomber he will push/nudge and I think Masters and Nicholls will struggle to contain him.

Maybe he could come over and try to sort your track out again!!

Imagine if I had left 5 minutes early at Goodison a couple of weeks ago.

SATURDAY, October 5, 7.30pm

There's no reason Oxford can't race on other days of the week. We get good crowds whenever we race! 😁

Just caught up with their coverage of Monday night, it was terrible as you'd expect, but they couldn't get off air quick enough, although scheduled to finish at 21:30 they cleared off at 21:00 without speaking to either of the team managers!

I'd be astonished if Oxford don't have Boughen & Killeen as their reserve pairing. It wouldn't make sense for them to weaken a play-offs challenging team, unless they were building for next season!

Hence the reason that my first post which got the 'yawn' response, leading to my reply that you quoted, specifically mentioned the 'normal' league season. I was simply pointing out that our number 5 had missed nearly as many league matches as yours had, so add in the 2 Jack missed and it is the same number. I fully appreciate the fact that you lost Emil when you needed him most, and I don't think there is a single honest speedway fan in the country that would argue with the fact that you had the strongest 1-7 and would have probably won the double this season, but as I and others have said many times, it was always a gamble on those 2 staying fit and available and you ended up with the perfect storm. Yes, that is a lot of injuries in a season, almost the same as Sheffield in 2023 when they won the playoffs and lost in the KO Cup Final, but apparently we injured our riders on purpose so that we could use 'horses for courses' guests and cheat the system. 😉😂

I’m guessing the other offer Rew has is from Belle Vue. Personally I can’t see how that would benefit him already rides big fast tracks in Poland, staying put at Ipswich can only help his progress.

Believe that was Adam Ellis in August

Tai was having a solid season home and away, there's not a single reason not to have him back.

Hearing Doyle (C) and Emil coming back ...

I don’t know why you bother making yourself look a fool. Przyjemski and Banbor riding today and Thursday and Friday Zmarzlik and Kubera riding Tuesday and Saturday Cierniak riding Tuesday Lindgren and Holder riding Saturday
