Great meeting both teams fought for every point Well done worky . Always a pleasure visiting Glasgow , great people and a fantastic race circuit .

Something for the children to do while waiting for the kids race...

Image if speedway had drawn in decent crowds consistently & was a consistently profitable business, not subject to massive booms & busts. Ipswich would be one of the best tracks in the world. Foxhall built as a speedway stadium in 1950 the track was what is now the stock car circuit. Unfortunately due to the sport losing popularity in the 60s speedway closed & the stocks carried on, eventually seeing the circuit covered in tarmac. If the money was in speedway I’m sure that the current lease holders would happily have the speedway track reinstated on the outside, or the speedway would actually be able to afford to operate the stadium theirselves. Given none of that will happen we have to make due with what we have & feel content that we have one of if not the most forward looking & professional promotions, while also enjoying the best crowds in the uk.

Just caught up on this meeting earlier, decent meeting. Why oh why do we need the superheat? A draw is a draw. Nothing wrong with that. Only time you should need a superheat is if both teams are level on aggregate for the bonus. Looking like a Witches / Lions final this year.

That was some last heat from the Redcar/Berwick match, excellent race.

Scored 8 plus 1 for Poole and now not trying ….never book a Pirate as a guest … Bjarne Pedersen proof in point

Good to see Tungate has recovered from his injuries that ruled him out of oxford’s meeting at Ipswich last night and is riding for rybnik tonight, ban him

So VP gets a 7 day ban for genuinely being sick while Nicolai Klindt is allowed to pick and choose his meetings as he sees fit, absolutely absurd!

ill be going this Saturday, providing weather ok. taking 3 others with me.

The criticism of the track may well be valid but some level of criticism must lay with the riders who on today’s machine can rarely adapt to different track conditions and it makes the racing boring because of the set up and the general lack of rider skills with most on gate and go bikes but little track craft. Give the riders four track spares and ask them to race and then you will separate the men from the boys. Until you have an affordable level playing field races will be strung out because riders have simply lost the art/skill of riding to the conditions rather than the set ups.

I agree but the point Ian made was that they don't even show you it during a race if they can avoid it, even a rider sliding off innocuously they immediately cut away. It's frustrating when the commentator is talking about it but you can't see it, I suppose it's just another example of the nanny state we live in these days. Like everyone else I don't want to see any rider injured but crashes and falls are part & parcel of the sport we love, yet they are removed from our view. edit; there's not many more violent sports than boxing, soon they'll be cutting away when someone gets decked.

Can't fault Pludra tonight. Credit where it's due. 👍

Come on now Lewy, One is ill and the other is sitting in a hotel in Poland cause he doesn’t want to risk getting injured for Poland on the Sunday. You just keep playing the rules.

I think maybe your make a good point about the age thing, being a senior statesman so to speak comes with a few responsilbilites, plus the desire to pass knowledge on. My tigers mate who attends every week - (and me) noticed how good Tai was with the younger lads, his team riding efforts were really good!

Barry's involvement means he has peewee races before, at the interval and after the meeting, something which you don't see on the streams but he gets them well involved and makes the do a little victory lap and a wave to the crowd, I know how much this means to the little riders because my boy is one of them. all he talks about is when the next my first skid or meeting he can ride at and that's all down to Barry and his involvement. The crowds seem to be down to the move to Saturday night's and the social media team they have buzzing people up in the run up to every meeting, people are bringing people along now and we now see countless posts of people saying 'its my first time and I will be back for sure'. If this Saturday is anything like the last you actually have to get there early now if you want to get a seat in the grandstand. There was over 100 kids in the kids race too, excellent to see.

The same old rubbish from you...blah, blah blah...nothing to back it up. Go and spout your negativity elsewhere.

That could apply to where's Lewy

Or as Elton John sang, Saturday night's the night for... travelling 🛫

To be honest I didn’t see Ellis, King, Brennan,Thompson, Lawson, Kildermand, Klleen or Wright wobbling around. Edward’s & The number 4 from Oxford did struggle a bit but it certainly wasn’t wobbling around. Plenty of criticism always thrown at the Ipswich track however plenty of riders seems happy to ride fro Ipswich & our gates are by far the healthiest in the league. We can’t all have the council build us a shiny new stadium.

Could you kindly put forward a big bag or two of cash to purchase the stadium from the owners then the stock car promotion, and a few more bags of cash to completely alter the stadium with a bigger stock car track and bigger speedway track more suitable? don’t necessarily disagree with the points about the suitability of the track shape but you make it sound like negligence on the Ipswich promotions part that they’re not moving with the times and making the track much bigger with zero grasp of a realistic solution. louis has altered the track banking and shape 4-5 times over the past few years doing his best to try and improve the racing within the confines of the stock car track and while it’s still quite one dimensional when prepared well there’s opportunity to go deeper and find grip to pass last night it was pretty poorly prepared…again stabdinng just on the exit of second bend have watched riders hitting a hole/bump mid turn 1/2 all season, can’t understand how it’s not been dealt with, frustrating for the riders and frustrating to watch week in week out, that hole was what Doyle was out on track complaining about and highlighting to Hawkins in the grade break.

Im sure i will like it speaking to our fans that have been, all give great feedback.

Apparently it's fancy dress nite at Plymouth on Saturday, maybe @lewy is trying to find his clown suit 😁🤡

Just because he failed to win doesn't automatically mean he wasn't a good manager, it's the riders on track that need to perform. Maybe GB were just never THAT good? While GB were always amoungst the favourites, don't think they were ever out & out favourites.

Or the riders could admit that the actually problem is the engines used in modern speedway but that will never happen

Dad's army was in the first year back after covid wasn't it when there weren't really any "stars" in the league, that makeup of team may have worked then (as it did), can't see it doing so again while the superstars are all at 4 clubs.

Jack Smith and Sam Hagon should just jack it in .

Well done Tobi, Pirate through and through!

He tried his best to spoil their day!

That tonight was a cracking meeting well done to both teams on serving that up .

Yep all 4 back but no way the away rider should of been excluded bit bumpy coming out of the home straight

Workington: Troy Batchelor, Fraser Bowes, Tate Zischke, Jye Etheridge, Antti Vuolas, Jacob Hook, Vinnie Foord Oxford: Sam Masters, Rider Replacement, Jordan Jenkins, Mitch McDiarmid, Cameron Heeps, Luke Killeen, Jonas Knudsen

Thanks

Promotion and relegation play off dates below: 1st leg - 28th Sept 2nd leg - 5th Oct

I believe Ian B put a number of flight options on here which showed it was possible. Nether the less, that would seem to indicate that SCB has been requested to permit the 'no facility' route, and approved it, because I can't see anything thing in the Regulations that permits it otherwise

I would think just a self employed bloke earning money

He got injured during the week, shoulder pain then tried to ride on Wednesday and aggravated it after flipping the bike when his clutch plate broke

Also for Lublin v Zielona Góra: https://vk.com/video-53550004_456242371 https://vk.com/video-220089063_456247218 https://vk.com/video-81427162_456239743

Wrong again clive

Perhaps Plymouth should just go with a 2-7 team, number 1 has been jinxed for the last 3 or 4 years

Yes I thought that so he got 8 last week against Workington and rest is the same except for Spencer so I expect Poole to be closer than Workington but not by much so fully expec to lose agg point

Given that a lot thought it was going to be a whitewash I thought it was a decent meeting. Looks like some are riding with next year in mind. A big if but if the league structure stays the same in 2026 then Jenkins at 6 Edwards as rising star Thompson in the top 5 with one of King,Ellis or Brennan to move on. Or if rising stars are scrapped then the same top 6 with either Edward’s or Jenkins at 7.

The days of ai commentary is not far away and then you'll be able to choose the commentary you wish. Press 1 for Joe Pasquale Press 2 for Bartosz Zmarzlik

You're bloody obsessed with commentators! BSN are looking for a new presenter if you fancy it?

Poole is the worst track in the country that’s not up for debate But tonight our track is awful the guys are not happy

The league is finished in its present form.Just hope the Championship Promotions don’t get conned as they usually do in this situation.

Tungate hasn't been committed all season and he should've been sacked ages ago. League needs some serious surgery this winter, Bin all of the pish takers off for good.

And the Panthers had 4 riders with an average over 7, along with Scotty 6.71 and Bjarne 6.33 Only Bewley and Holder could be classed as big hitters that year...
