Just a thought - Have you considered boycotting the BSF as an alternative. I'm sure if you refrained from posting it will bring thd FIM to its knees.

Can’t really have the same banter with the Lions fans as you sort of feel please for them being in the final whilst at the same time wanting to beat them. If it was say Poole, Coventry, Wolves or Sheffield you can have ago about them cheating or the fact their track is gate’n’go. Say gate’n’go to a Lions fan and they agree with you. Maybe we could both set up a re enactment society and recreate the 1971 Battle of Hyde Rd during the interval. I’m playing Wilkie. I hope the weather issues can be overcome and we get a decent 2nd leg and not just a going through the motions event, that would be a disservice to both teams. Fingers crossed with the track and that everyone has a safe meeting. Very civilised.

The night a 4 year old mikebv had his first hero... Wilkie....😎 A "proper leader"..

And if he thinks the start Marshall is being pernickety he has never watched a Polish league match !!

Certainly won’t have a shortage of interested party’s if that is the case,Godfrey would be mad not to include him in Scunny Team guaranteed to increase his average the way he is improving.Some great racing from him.

He may make the GPs at some point but these young poles can suddenly find it more difficult when they are too old for the protected reserve berth. People would have said similar about Smektała, Drabik, Miśkowiak, cierniak, while these riders still have plenty of time on their side none of them look like GP riders at this moment in time. I think there has only ever been 4 riders that have gone on to win the world championship after winning the under 21's.

i was 11 yrs old stood on entrance to third bend saw it all unfold, very exciting.🤣, never would have thought at the time i would go on to win 2 Alan Wilkinson trophy's in 2nd half's at Elsmere port. think 80 and 81.

Indeed.... The days when it truly "meant something"... And teams had riders who became synonymous with that team... Reg Wilson - Sheffield Ray Wilson - Leicester Terry Betts - Kings Lynn Eric Boocock - Halifax.. And many, many more.. One rider - One Team...

I’d like to see a new rule which allows the referee to have a no blame rerun where a incident on the track is a 50/50 then both riders can be put in the rerun unlike now when a rider must be excluded. also every premiership team to run in the NDL with their rising star leading the team.

Krawcyk going to hospital. Wroclaw had a small chance v Lublin, but that's gone if he's out.

We'll take a pity victory all day long 😁

good old scotty nichols sorted them out didnt he ? the premiership is still full of championship riders . untill that is sorted out , ther will never be a top league in my lifetime ..

They have ruined the sport in the last 10 years trying to protect the Premiership.IMO.Self interest and Tv money is all that matter too them.

Hiding in the bushes.

Weather🤣

And how many seasons have they been in the top division? Seeing the videos of Leicester being flooded in the news, track prob not be ready for Monday?

Can't see it being below 38, personally I think there is an argument for an increase.

Sign the petition below if you want to see them back in!! https://www.change.org/EmilandArtemSGP2025

I think it's unlikely he rides again this season imo, the fact he's booked an assessment tells you it wasn't a mild concussion, I'm sure he's desperate to get back but just don't think it's worth the risk.

Didn't you cancel a meeting because of a leaky pipe? Leicester never done that 😂😂😂

I call him Hokey Cokey. "You put your left leg in, stick your right leg out, in, out, in, out, shake it all about..."

The bikes are less forgiving these days and you have such a small optimal useable range that outside that range the bike is uncompetitive and it’s reading things like that you think well why don’t we make the engines like we had before where it was competitive without a limited range, well the answer is because the sport is run by the riders for the riders via the tuners and it’s quite the little cartel they have going and turkeys don’t vote for Xmas

Not so sure about that, Hagon has been an unmitigated disaster signing, the only reason the fans haven't been on his back is that he was no better or worse than JT, he started off steadily but since the end of July has barely been able to score a single point. Personally I'd be looking at Luke Kileen, I like what I've seen of him

Cream comes to the top lol

He is already the best reserve in the polish extraleague and if rumours are true he is one of the highest paid too, he will get to the top if he stays injury free, world champ well that’s a one in thousand but a future GP rider and round winner I think yes

So the 2024 season is almost done and the AGM for next year will be upon us soon, so I was just wondering, what would people like to see? Don’t be silly and suggest bloody uprights or 13 heats (move on by the way). Realistic suggestions. Firstly, every club to come back to the tapes. And if so, I would like one Championship to move up, not really fussed who. Leaving us with 2 leagues of 8. 2 home, 2 away in both with a KO Cup for each. I’d like the Premiership to continue with its increase in a professional image. Stuff like, all the start marshalls in the same outfit, bit more of a standardised show. Rising star to stay in place but in the Championship, I’d like the number 7 to be a 2.00 rider. Official number 8s too for both leagues. I understand the reasons for doubling up, but I’d love it if Premiership sides were restricted to one DU rider (aside from the rising star of course) NDL could use a couple of more sides. I like the way it is, with the majority of meetings being on Sundays, is brilliant. Clubs are starting to use social media more and it’s the absolute way forward. Maybe more BTS videos for Instagram and tiktok, as it’s the only way nowadays to grab the young audience. Nothing spectacular, nothing that’s going to reinvent the wheel.

Kurtz, Bewley, Lidsey and Cook is 31.27 ... That only leaves 7.73 for the number 2 & number 6! I can’t see Lemo leaving himself that short ... I think he’ll go with Kurtz, Bewley, Lidsey & Blodorn, leaving 9.32 for the last 2 places.

👍 Now 13, getting there - need to start the 2 minute clock!

We need to pin Rowe down at number 6... Gives us the option of making our 1-5 a bit stronger, instead of it being Ben Cook at 1 with Iversen, Klindt, Basso and Kvech being our 2-5

Can Dan T ride as he rode for Edinburgh in the semis?

I agree. I don’t think he will be back.

That's the Impression I get from reading the Oxford discussion forum!

The " Fords" can even control the wrather in their favour 🤣

As the SGP 2 mirrors the GP scoring it’s GP POINTS( ie 4th in the final.

Have you been drinking?

And so Poole should as they are the rules, any team would want the second leg at their home track as if they win the celebrations would be good for the home team what is wrong with that ? As for all the nonsense talking of Poole do this or that just accept Poole as well as being a lovely place have had and still do have winning promoters, any court cases of corrupt practices no well not that I know of just people secretly although they won't admit it but wishing they had the success Poole have had all be it they are well supported which helps with the finance to find success.

I will boycott all the GPs if Artem is not in the series.

I believe their last play-off final before 2021 was 2016, and then 2015.

He's a Belle Vue fan. They've been in the play-off final 3 of the last 4 years.

Not anymore he's not.

Not sure if you saw my edited post but it was four and probably should have been five but for the Leicester call off. That was re-arranged for early September on the week kids went back to school. I agree that clubs should do more and would have liked us to have staged a round, but it’s not right to say we did nothing.

i was referring to Ben riding 😞

Things are spelt as they're said in Dorset........

Let's hope not...

What’s the JHR rear end advantage(if any)

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

The FIM may be asked but I doubt they would accept being told.

When the wild cards get announced, don't act surprised.

No they haven’t. Not at all. You are spouting absolute nonsense.
