Anybody who thinks Etheridge and Hagon are good guests for Gusts and Knudsen should apply for the position as Peter Shroeck's assistant.

No I haven't... he's never there when I go to get one!

Should be punished with promotion to the Premiership 😉

I'm sure he'll be fit enough to miss Plymouth's next home fixture...

Is this the Anders Rowe who blitzed the current world number 2 last night? Certainly didn’t show signs of lack of fitness

Think it’s great that they want fans to turn up and watch it at the Stadium considering the effort they have put into the Stadium and Facilities.

So should a rider be ill in future then they should cite a (much easier to fabricate) ‘family emergency’ - not suggesting for a minute this is what KH has done btw. This rule needs looked at.

This will be a heavy defeat, nothing to do with the track more to do with our engine room and reserves not being able to support the top two away from home. Changes should have been made, apart from Bewley and Kurtz getting out the gate i can see the home riders reeling in the rest and Dan and Brady have been passed at Foxhall when making the gate as well. Bottom line is we arent as a good a team as Ipswich.

65-25 end the season

Stop taking the bait.

Etheridge a good guest. Hagon blows hot and cold. Should be a close meeting again the way we are riding. Sizzling hot today and tomorrow. Need to flood the track tonight.

Easier to find out than to ask! Kvech will be 24 in October. It's easy to forget how young Kvech is when he always looks as if he's in his 30s.

Lemo has had all year to change it.

Oh ffs

'The scb letters to the Poole clerk of the course and Poole Promotion asked for the start marshall to be thanked for his prompt and speedy reactions to allow racing to continue and reach a satisfactory meeting conclusion despite the referee's lack of action.'😂

MAX BROADHURST TAKES THE HONOURS AT THE ALAN GRAHAME MEMORIAL The 2025 Midland Development League came to a close for 2025 at Birmingham with the Alan Grahame Memorial individual with 12 riders contesting it over 9 heats and a final. Birmingham Buffaloes Max Broadhurst took the honours winning all his three qualifying races then remaining unbeaten with success in the final ahead of Ryan Ashcroft and Dylan Huthwaite whilst Eli Meadows took a tumble to end his hopes of remaining unbeaten on the night. With 16 heats in total with 6 junior 125cc demos and a short delay after one of them Cody Smith crashed just before the finish line in his first ride , the pits staff did a first class and efficient job of completing this in 52 minutes !! Cody ended up at hospital with two black eyes, sore wrist and concussion unfortunately. It was a fitting tribute to Alan Grahame who always had time to help the young riders. Heat scorers : Max Broadhurst 9, Eli Meadows 9, Ryan Ashcroft 7, Dylan Huthwaite 6, Harrison Rogers 6, Joe Crewe 5, Jacob Fellows 5, Jack Crewe 3, Bailey Fellows 1, Will Boraston 1, Austin Riches 1, Jake Breeze 1. Final : Max Broadhurst , Ryan Ashcroft, Dylan Huthwaite, Eli Meadows (fell)

They should be used to it then after last Saturday.😇

Ahh speedway...... ....If its not rained off its dusty

Transfer window passed. But as it’s the Aces it will probably be allowed. 😉

They are not allowed to go back on it he must get the full 28 days

Announced as a 'family emergency'!

Not really. The rumours are simply based on Kevin Boothby's illness (he's got leukemia), so they are presuming Towcester and Oxford will be in trouble. Reality is the plans for Suffolk Downs are still ongoing, so there's likely to be more tracks in Boothby's portfolio - not less. If the worst does happen, and he steps down, Mike Davis is likely to take over.

Last time at foxhall Heat 1 …. Doyle passed Kurtz Heat 6….King passed Bewley Heat 8…. Mulford gated twice both times passed by King Heat 14…. Thompson and Cook good battle Heat 15…. King passed Kurtz So yes our track isn’t as good as yours but you still get some good overtaking and close races Though it does seem that when your team do gate at Foxhall the home team have the skill set to get past. Last night proved it’s not just the technical tracks that your bottom 4 struggle with it’s any track

Never been on my radar but i saw him in the meeting at Foxhall on the BSN last week and I did think he looked a prospect!

Yes and as not many bookmakers price the actual match up now,I normally forget the handicap betting and would have had the three yesterday but one of the teams were 100-1 on.

They can't as it would dislodge the potatoes.

I’m struggling to see why this comment was laughed at ⬆️

Good crowed at Sheffield , track was prepared for racing and we had some good heats. But were was the grader once the dirt moved out we got the one line follow the leader racing' Come on track staff drag the dirt back off the fence people dont pay to see riders following each other two foot rom the fence. More racing lines are needed first few races were good both inside and outside being used. Sheffield used to be a great racetrack and still should be if they pull the dirt back more often.

Clerk of the course will know.!!😉

Zach lodges at Middlo's, as does his brother who is usually with him in the pits, and they are all in their own WhatsApp group. Unfortunately it seems not all the riders like the same track prep and once in gets in your head it can affect your performances and your set-ups- especially if riders are carrying niggling injuries as well.

The crime wasn't that bad 😂

That certainly would be a punishment!!

SCB STATEMENT: LUKE BECKER Monday August 11, 2025 The Speedway Control Bureau are aware that Luke Becker made his comeback from a serious back injury for his Polish League Club Ostrow on Saturday 9th August scoring 9 points from 6 rides. After such a serious injury and returning to racing so soon it was no surprise that Mr Becker following his return is suffering from the effects from racing and has now been withdrawn from racing for a further 5 days. The SCB have received medical documentation. Leicester have been granted a facility for their fixture versus Oxford on Monday 11th August, however if Mr Becker competes again prior to the next Leicester fixture he would be expected to return to the Leicester Team

There was, but a sprinkle wouldn't have hurt midway through I think. It got so bad the last couple of heats I gave up trying to write in my program, my pen just wouldn't write. I noticed as well that the dirt line got so wide that even Max Fricke couldn't do anything with it in the later heats, like I say it was a shame because the first few heats had some good passing in.

Trouble is there was rain showing on the radar as approaching, so to water it could have been folly... not that anybody seemed to realise this at the pace the meeting was run!

Ipswich by 20+ Kurtz won't take any risks now as he's got a serious chance of becoming WC this year, Bewley will score a few and Lidsey will chip in if he makes a Gate. Don't expect anything from Blodorn, Cook, Zischke or Mulford.

Quite right BB, I haven't found anything that I've liked for a good few weeks now.

That is a problem at Owlerton, 3/4 bends is definitely the best view due to the shallow steps on the home straight terracing & equipment on the dog track.

Exactly mate, Ben Cook is back at number 6 Thursday aswell

Agreed, he impressed me at Foxhall last week

Thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Iwade. The site is a bit rough round the edges but its a very friendly club with everybody we came across polite and smiling, you don't get that at many speedway venues. The track was kept in pretty good nick on a very warm and breezy day by an interesting 'water cart' although the old blue groove put in an appearance later on. Racing mainly FTG mainly down to the Young Stars' dominance but there were one or two decent heats with Coops getting past the Kent riders in heat 12 the pick. Jordy Loftus looks a real talent and Jody Scott has come on leaps and bounds this year. Thanks to Jason for getting the team over to the back straight to thank the travelling fans after the meeting, looking forward to celebrating the title on Wednesday evening.

I agree when I have seen him at Oxford he looks a good prospect

That was my first time seeing Micth McDiarmid in person, and I was impressed. People on here go on about William Cairns constantly (mainly the Poole fans, to be fair), but McDiarmid is only a year older and looks a proper talent.

putting the ts in against holder off gate one was spot on the track is awful but too many bv riders have ridden the wrong part of the track too often essentially its a gating contest though bar one or two heats too much dirt out wide

I think in the main 365 have got it pretty much right this season.

He did. What actually happened was: tried his 2nd engine at Glasgow which had been good previously, but after first heat it wasn't good, so swapped to 2nd bike with his usual Workington engine. After his 3rd ride that engine blew up immediately after the race snapping its camchain. Back onto first bike for heat 13 with some big changes and managed to get a win whilst feeling slow. For Workington, now only had one bike so borrowed an engine from Jacob Hook ( as his workshop is in Workington) that was "strong" so that he had 2 bikes (the alternative was a 20 hr round trip to home to collect a spare engine, but only had 19 hrs before the next meeting). Tried Hooky's engine in the first 2 heats but struggled to get out of the starts with it ( heavier flywheels than normal may have been the difference? but jumped back onto the underperforming engine again for the last 2 rides and made some radical changes again and managed to win heat 13 again with a massive cutback off the first turn and a defensive ride. Was out after the meeting on that same underperforming engine trying some other radical changes to see if they helped it to perform better. So a frustrating weekend some high points, some low points and no doubt a big bill to come too. Hope that explains what happened

Imagine.... Zmarzlik Kurtz Lindgren Bewley Holder Lebedevs Lambert Kubera (Challenge) Woryna (Challenge) Madsen (Challenge) Jepsen Jensen (Challenge) Dudek (SEC) Fricke (WC) Laguta (WC) Sayfutdinov (WC) Now that would be some line-up.

If he does I hope he gets a 28 day ban, but it seems like the authorities don't care anymore.
