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. 😉

Take heart Aces fans, Kurtz can beat the best at Foxhall IF he gates, Zac Cook had a blistering meeting when riding for Wolves the other year so it can be done. I think the Witches will win but it won't be a walk in the park. I think something like 50-40 - looking forward to it anyway and plan to be there.

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.

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.

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

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.

0 Heat Wins on the night compared to Chris' 2. But yes you could've made a case for Picko to take Chris' spot especially after Ht 13 just to try something different.

Spanked tonight just a warm up to an even bigger hiding on Thursday. Half a team in any sport and the writing is on the wall.

Don't mean to be nasty but Zischke's a joke at this point. Makes more mistakes than Andre Onana.

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.

Excellent listen. A must for anybody who has an interest in retaining/bringing back speedway tracks. Reassuring to know that there are people with planning knowledge involved with these clubs. Brian really knows his stuff and sounds like he's working very hard!

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.
