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.'😂

Monarchs have an 8 point lead , but they are without Grahn at reserve but have Jacb hook who did well at Glasgow last week with Workington, Will they have Victor or a guest? Will Glasgow have a full team, seems to be a rare thing for Glasgow at the moment. It is doable for the tiggers to go through, they did win 50-40 in the bsn series, it should be a cracking meeting regardless as the Monarchs can ride Ashfield as well as the tiggers, but they haven't came against our Danish rocket, Villads Nagel who rides similar to Ben Basso, without fear.

Absolutely agree Spoken to Dan a few times at Ipswich always got time to have pics after the meeting with my kids and speaks well He has said to me he likes Ipswich and he said the home riders are dialled on and he likes the challenge of where to put the bike to get the best out of it ….. Yes he flies around his home track but a truely top rider wants to learn all tracks and skills and he certainly does that including winning at Cardiff twice Chatted to Kurtz too last time and he came across a decent guy to be fair would be good to see him win the world championship

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

jye been pritty good recently but hes also injured still did a good job saturdy

Prob cos he is so average this season you don't even realise he is missing.

Spot on and as good an argument for one lap dashes being adopted by UK speedway as I’ve ever seen.

7 day ban as he missed the Oxford meeting at Kings Lynn last week due to illness.

TBF they weren’t entirely sure when Jenkins was going to return and they gave Edwards a 28 day deal. They’re not the sort to go back on that so Edwards (rightly IMO) will get the full 28 days.

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'!

Dont forget they dont change their team mid season and apparently this gives them some sort of solace when they lose heavily. I would prefer my club to change if they can to improve the team.

Well spent, then!

Looks like the draw for the QF’s is live on ESS play after tomorrow’s Indianerna v Lejonen match. Time for the draw is 21.30 local time.

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

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

Given that these days riders often peak in their 30s and that 3 or 4 years ago the concensus seemed to be that Brady Kurtz had 'reached his level' I think that is a brave statement.(

Dust was terrible towards the end of the meeting. Shame because the first few heats had some good racing.

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.

It's tricky deciding how long a rider can be a "rising star" for. Although the age limit has dropped since it started. Many people say the RS are too weak & out of their depth etc. Others say Jenkins & Flint have been RS too long & shouldn't be any more. But once you limit the amount of seasons, you make the standard even weaker, which leads to even more RS out of their depth! I personally think they've got it about right, Flint has come on a lot this season & his average will prevent him being an RS next season.

No about 10! Yes it was and the best was yet to come in heat 12... Rew v Harris was tremendous. Sadly that was the last time the outside line worked because there was nothing out wide in the final 3 heats. Kvech gets passed by Barker in his 3rd ride then comfortably wins heat 13 in the quickest heat of the night.

It’s more follow the leader at Sheffield …. Not denying that it’s skilful but to me it’s about bravery as well Lemon clearly stated his riders didn’t attack it and even in that interview Anders Rowe said ‘didn’t want to get too wide’ where as Jack Holder said just got to get out wide …. Some riders are braver than others

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.

Out of Blodorn , Cook , Mulford and Tate the only Sheffield rider any of them have beaten is Etheridge … that is shocking

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

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.

thats not what he saying though youve been caught out so take it on the chin

And then if Thomsen finishes top 7 Vaculik will be promoted to SGP, and if Vaculik also gets top 7 Cierniak will be promoted to SGP 😂😂😂 but then it doesn’t finish there… because Woryna, Madsen, MJJ and Lebedevs are all in with a shout for SEC but I would assume Dudek will win it! If however, Dudek comes second, it’s noted on SGP page it won’t go down to the next person who isn’t in the SGP, it will be a fourth wild card, which I would like to think would be given to Dudek anyway. The line-up is completed by three permanent wild cards selected by the SGP Commission. If the SEC winner finishes inside the Speedway GP top seven, four permanent wild cards will be chosen.
