For the love of god shut up for once

Luke's task this year is to up his average away from home and as long as he ends the year a better rider than he started we are happy. Boy rode well today whilst still feeling the affects of Wednesdays crash. Sorry he's not getting 15 every meeting to keep the keyboard hero's happy but never mind it's only speedway

The kid has got potential and a good attitude as well.

When there is no clubs left in the West Midlands the sport is official in the clink, I banged on about this 15-20 years ago about changes that need to be made both inside and outside the track, I don’t have all the answers or indeed may have non but the writing was on the wall from the late 90s but who am I ? It’s not your money yada yada yada and I took stick from some real tossers from both sides of the fence who are still running the sport into the ground today, angry ? damn right I am, I have lived speedway all my life and it’s really starting to hurt badly now and if I’m honest I think the sport is finished as a professional sport in the uk and I don’t know where we go from here 😢

"Devastating news to those few hundred people"... Says it all.... Never more than a tier 2 team at best given their fanbase, yet had to get shoe horned into tier 1... I hope Nigel gets plenty of punters between now and season end, and it offsets at least some of the tremendous costs he has incurred keeping afloat a sport in a town that not enough people could be bothered to watch.. Should get plenty of away fans for their teams' last meeting ever at Perry Barr.

But you call him worse than you know what in every post, maybe try backing him for a change instead of wanting him binned off after every meeting. Maybe he is performing under par but considering the season he had last year with constant injuries I wouldn’t have expected him to come out flying and I think your expectations are probably too high for him these days a good night for him is double figures but 7-8 will probably be the norm once he gets up to speed, Rowe will be your second HL by seasons end with Kerr and Cook behind would be my prediction.

Question answered... of course they do 😂

Dan Thompson, so no profile he's not even been nominated for rider of the night when he's clearly been the best rider on view!

How good it is to see the progress of Dan Thompson, way ahead of some of his higher profile contemporaries, has often been overlooked as far as the GB Speedway team goes, more due to his low (no) profile way of going about things.

Hopefully that’s what Lynn fans get great racing on a well prepared track and I’m sure the team will pick up more wins as the season progresses .

The track needed some water on it after heat 8 onwards very dusty indeed. But still, some fantastic racing tonight especially ones involving Jack Holder. Heat 15 was an epic pass on Doyley who shook hands with both Picko and Jack at the end of the race which was all good to see. two good teams going at it, much rather see a close meeting than a 60-30 drubbing. a couple of falls and a couple of engine failures added to the drama. Both will comfortably make the play offs, but Ipswich will definitely be the team to beat due to how good they are round foxhall.

Fair shout but I'm including away matches as well as home. Luke only seems to do well at Scunthorpe saying that he's at a difficult number 2 position granted and hopefully his away points will start to come in when he goes back to reserve shortly

+ Luke Harrison

Superb from Howarth and Thompson, but what a joke of a finale; a “super heat”.😂 Massive credit to Boughen. A young boy who’s found himself a victim of his own success in the main body of the team at just 17 years old, but what a performance from him. Classy.

Does this mean we get another coin toss? 🙏

Another very sad day for British speedway. Doesn’t feel like it will be long until this happens to my club too. Heartbreaking for the loyal brummies fans

Jesus, that’s a brutally honest interview from Lambert. I feel sorry for him; blatantly fearing for his job.

Sounds like Lambert thinks he's for the chop!

Yeah, Sheffield really do badly at Foxhall... wait a minute....the last time we came there (Monday, August 19, 2024), Sheffield beat you by 38 - 52!

Maybe to get a few more punters in between now and closure? "Last chance saloon" and all that ..

Ole was right!!!!😁

Think we need to revamp the line up Jack Justin Anders Chris Josh Kerr Flint is the one i would go with based on the first few matches

Remember above guys Car park restricted A thought is park in trading estate behind bends 3 and 4 area and there is a walkway which comes out near pits entrance Worth a go Tough opener for your Bandits with track expert Lawson ex Bandit Kerr and Rowe and Cook in good form Back up boys Hagon and Hume etc need step up

Commonsense never prevails Only plus a few of them might boost speedway takings

That's been common knowledge for the last 2 years?

Mid May and Top 4 more or less sorted barring injuries or a team pulling a rabbit out the hat of a signing - that’s poor for any sport - makes me wonder the next 3 and half months of league racing going to be like ?

So sorry that the track wasn’t prepared to Bombers liking as a visiting rider. I’m sure Mr Dickson will consult him prior to the next time Bomber is back riding for the Stars and every other team in the league on his returns to the venue. Whilst I’m still a big fan of Bomber and love watching him race, he should be above making comments about track prep criticism for someone of his ability at this stage of his career.

Why wasn’t masters excluded in heat 13. massive decision that

Its not just the West Midlands though Dean. Here In London and the South East. Wimbledon, Hackney, Eastbourne, Canterbury, Crayford, Rye House, Arena Essex all gone. Only Iwade left. The South West. Swindon, Reading, Weymouth, Exeter and Somerset all gone. Plymouth, Poole and Oxford are the only three clubs from that region who are still running. Then you have to travel all the way to Ipswich and Kings Lynn who fortunately are still running, but Peterborough and Mildenhall have gone. This has all happened since the 80s. Very sad, but this must prove, as much as we all love the sport that is not far from dying, certainly as a Professional Sport anyway.

The Team Manager, at their discretion may select any two of their seven riders. The minimum and maximum ride rules do not apply. from britishspeedwaygb.co.uk

Plymouth, Edinburgh & Workington could be considered weaker possibly?

Think Dan Thompson will be Tigers No1 by end of season,riding really well now.

Only a draw if you lose (I don't like them either)

Jake Allen on the Evian! They're paying him far too much!

Shambles of a night from Harris and Flint here. Really disappointing.

Beautifully done 😂

Doyle, Michelsen, Kurtz & Vaculik

I thought it was quite entertaining to be honest. A slick track can provide good racing, as much as grippy one can be borefest. Harris was just poor, as he was at Foxhall but the other Lynn riders were there or thereabouts & thought they were unlucky with re-runs when in good positions. There was passing on the inside and the outside, so not one line only.

i had just posted mine when Catch me if you Can's appeared lol will try and delete it

Been over this morning to the stadium for my dogs morning chase a ball, and a lot of the car park area has been fenced and roped off for the motor cycle rally. Had this been the Glasgow meeting this would have been a nightmare. Free Saturday last week and 2 more free Saturdays on the 24th & 31st surely could have been better planned.

That’s because he struggled in the Silver Helmet on Monday( watch the video), which was mighty surprising how well he rode 24 hours previously. He finished 9th with the Bronze medal won by the 15 year old wonder kid Pawelczak.

Oops!, ignore the last sentence above, technology has got the better of me. Just when I thought I was up to speed with life, I’ve heard that President Kennedy has been shot and Elvis has died. One thing after another! o

I think the mistake was made in the previous heat. Monarchs TM would've expected Castagna to defeat a 2.00 reserve surely?

Should have been MJJ . Even if he was on 15m for every race he'd still win.

Should have been Artem Laguta.
