Enjoyable competetive meeting tonight with some top racing. Heats 7 and 14 very influential for the Comets.The Tigers turned what looked like a 3-3 into a 5-1 in heat 7 and what looked like a certain 1-5 in heat 14 into a 2-4 with a great last turn from Leon Flint although we thought Jye still pipped him but the transponder didn't agree. Well done both teams for some excellent entertainment.6 points

Just got back home after a fantastic meeting at Glasgow the comets made the tiggers ride hard for the win 😄 some brilliant racing by both sides, not many teams will take Glasgow to a last heat decider at ashfield. The bonus point is on a knife edge UTC4 points

Don’t think this ref likes Kerr, he’s been excluded twice and done nothing wrong in either of them3 points

Good result for Speedway fans, 2 Current GP Riders, 1 Former GP Rider who should've been in this year anyway plus Kacper Woryna. Now it's down to the organisers to bring back Emil and Artem. No more Huckenbeck and Kvech as they're nowhere near GP level riders.3 points

In your opinion, which will probably be shared by others, but the technology dragging the sport kicking and screaming into the 21st century says otherwise.3 points

Was great to see Tom Spencer escape injury after some nasty crashes. When he flew over the fence somehow he miraculously got up and ran back to the pits to come out for the rerun. He's got sum b*lls!2 points

Not so sure it'll be a walk as Glasgow have only scored over 50 against the 2 teams fighting for the wooden spoon this season, while so far we've done well away one rider having an off night could be the decider over 2 legs. Villads has been a great signing so far but he's never seen Poole or Edinburgh so he's a bit of an unkown.2 points

Despite the disappointment of throwing that away tonight, you have got to hand it to Ben Barker, that was an incredible performance tonight, which rubbed off on the rest of the team , well done Ben Barker2 points

Hi Gavin, give it a rest mate. Your obsession with Poole is not only weird but the fact you think thst they always gain advantages from other teams. I don't understand why.2 points

Good point, noticed Villads still listed as 5.00 in last nights programme, not sure how many meetings he needs to get a proper average but if we could go down the airport burger route and keep him as a 5.00 for 2026 that would be smashing.2 points

Straight 20 heats Edit there could well be a final for the top 4 just for the GP classification for the GP 2026. confirmed is a final and will be a run-off if tie for 4th after 20 heats2 points

While speedway does have a major enemy in planners and ultimately money it also is its own enemy, you can’t even get them to answer the phone or return emails when you need information to take to these planners2 points

As an extra bonus for anyone going to the speedway this evening, the famous Red arrows are due to fly over around 18.27 - 18.32 😄2 points

Berwick had the opportunity to swap either rider for Trigger. I would've brought him in for Smith.2 points

I agree not getting that 3rd heat leader in the side was crucial, R/R does not work seen it in the last two home matches and only kept in it by the two superstars wright and king riding their nuts off.2 points

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.2 points

Always enjoyed the banter with Porky when Swindon visited Monmore, and his commentary on the last lap. I also used to love the original Mr Wolf. Whatever happened to him ?1 point

He only needs one more meeting, although I can't remember if KO Cup counts. 21st Century would be a high speed camera that gives visual evidence that no one can reasonably dispute. The transponders are only as good as the placement on the bike and even then rely on the wheels being in line, which is hilarious given how you ride a speedway bike. We have more reliable and transparent technology at club level athletics meets, which have even less money in them than speedway!1 point

Flint was definitely third in that race. The transponders have been a complete waste of time and money. I felt Leon probably deserved the win in that race for trying the move! Still, the heat result didn't affect the result on the night, hopefully it's not a talking point come the bonus point. Good performance from Workington, I expected it to be close. Tobias didn't look good, but nice to see Dan looking more like his usual self. Tate looked fabulous. I'd ove to see him in Glasgow colours one day, but to be honest, the way our top five are performing, I'd happily keep the lot of them for next year. Hard choices to come for next season.1 point

Regardless of what position hes riding at for me just watching him on track you can see how poor he is. Absolutely no aggression in his riding, not a great gater and then just gives up. Him and Smith were embarrassingly bad last night.1 point

Copied from Facebook American defeat. Losses amounted to millions. Even Poles are fed up. There were bold visions, announcements of global expansion, and a surge in popularity. It culminated in the purchase of a new podium and new boxes for the riders competing in the Speedway World Championship. A new promoter can have big problems. When it was announced in 2019 that the rights to organize the Speedway Grand Prix series would be acquired by the global brand Warner Bros. Discovery from the USA, everyone expected a total revolution and the opening of new markets. Speedway was supposed to function similarly to MotoGP, with speedway riders competing year-round on every continent. Today, it sounds like a joke. After three seasons, none of the goals have been achieved, and sponsors, fans, and even players are beginning to turn away from the new promoter. Although Bartosz Zmarzlik has already won the World Championship five times, these competitions are beginning to evoke less and less emotion in our country, too. Initially, the organizers cited the pandemic as an excuse, but today, activists and fans respond to such excuses with a pitying smile. It's not just speedway fans who complain about the level of Grand Prix competitions, but also the competitors themselves. Even though they received a substantial raise immediately after the new promoter took office, they're slowly losing patience, and the fight for the World Championship is no longer fun. It's already known that the company Infinite Reality will no longer advertise on the competitors' Kevlar clothing this year, and the organizers haven't been able to find a replacement. In the fourth season of Warner Bros., Regent Discovery Sports has had to admit defeat and insert the logo of the World Championship instead of its biggest sponsor's logo. According to estimates, this could result in a deficit of at least several hundred thousand dollars in the World Championship budget. When we asked representatives from Grand Prix about this, we received only the perfunctory answer that Infinite Reality remains a partner of GP. However, this is nothing compared to what could happen before next season. Although no one from the management of the energy drink giant Monster wants to be identified, representatives of the company are sending unofficial signals that they are dissatisfied with the way the World Cup is going and their collaboration with the organizer so far. This year, in turn, is the final year of the current contract, which, according to unofficial information, is worth up to one million dollars per year. According to our information, the company is currently seriously considering withdrawing from the Grand Prix series and changing its strategy. If this happens, it would be a blow to the World Cup organizers from which they may not recover. Talk is slowly emerging of a losing streak, as this year's series will be the first in over 20 years that the legendary round will not take place in the large Cardiff stadium. Fan interest waned until the tournament eventually became unprofitable. This year's competition was moved to a smaller venue in Manchester. Next year, the last major venue, the PGE Narodowy, will disappear from the GP calendar. The Poles decided it would be better to take a break and organize the Team World Cup finale. The loss of two series' calling cards certainly won't make negotiations with potential sponsors any easier. In addition, there are growing rumors in Poland that the promoters at Warner Bros. themselves might have had enough of speedway racing. It's a sport of discovery. Although this hasn't been confirmed yet, it's possible that the promoter won't have to stay with speedway until the end of its current contract, which runs until 2031. Due to the strange decisions of FIM representative Armando Castagna, Polish fans have lost interest in the Grand Prix series, and without funding from Poland, it's difficult to think about developing a full-fledged product. There are currently no news of plans to broadcast the series outside of Europe. So far, it hasn't been possible to organize a single round in Australia, let alone the US or other countries. The new promoter presented his tenure as the beginning of a new era in speedway racing, and no one currently associates anything good with such a slogan. The recent rule changes are not only completely incomprehensible, but also threaten to distort the sporting competition. The senseless adoption of models from other motorsport disciplines could lead to a distortion of the competition for the World Championship this year, and the decisive factor may not necessarily be the direct duels between the drivers on the track during the tournaments, but rather the times achieved in the morning qualifying rounds alone. - I have the impression that the fans and the players themselves weren't expecting such changes. Most tournaments can only be watched online, and given the low level of competition, I didn't even want to buy a package. I think the vast majority of speedway fans in Poland will do the same next season. On the other hand, if we have enough of such races, it's difficult to pin our hopes on the Germans, the Czechs, or the Swedes, because the sport is beginning to play a marginal role there," admits former Polish national team coach Marek Cieślak.1 point
