That's crap , don't let 2 people put you of doing what you obviously love there's more of us on here who really appreciate the time and effort the volunteers do texting and updating hope you enjoyed your visit to Berwick 2 or 3 weeks ago.

You guys do a fantastic job that many people appreciate .

I know Bewley hasn’t been brilliant tonight but can’t be leaving him out in a big heat like that.

It seems to have been for weeks now that only I am available on a Saturday night to update nowadays which I would have done tonight but after been treated pathetically by 2 certain individuals on the site who I actually considered as friends before the incident. I've now given up volunteering to update after over 20 years of doing it.

But you won't be travelling up to watch them, so does not matter when it is 😜

We have no restrictions when we race. Both Clubs have to agree to a date that suits both , lets see what happens first before wanting to claim a two legged tie after one leg ffs.

Nagel was unavailable today but that didn't stop Glasgow. Next free Friday is 3rd October. Not sure they will let Glasgow put it off for a month for a semi final. Be different if it was a final. I guess if they can't organise a fixture we'll just have to be put through after one leg. We do it for Oxford.

Nagel won heat 15 and scored paid 12 for pila today. Talented boy

I would put Bewley into 14. He's not had the best night, but he is capable of beating Dudek in a big heat. Kowalski is not.

Robert lambert riding like Simon lambert

Why should they race on an off night?

Thank you everyone for the well wishes you’re all very kind.

Just registered my support for Swindon Speedway! Good luck! Moreover, I read some of the comments that object and there are some right tools in this world aren’t there 😂 someone wrote, the practise sessions will be loud and noise pollution, hmmm when did England have practise sessions 😂 someone else wrote the travellers site will be impacted… are we actually putting travellers before locals who want to see speedway… they are travellers… they can 1. Travel somewhere else. 2. Choose to live in a house and stop avoiding council tax. These must be the same numptys that say if you are against immigration you are racist 😂

So after 4 seasons as a Director & Shareholder that's my time with Birmingham Speedway at an end. An eventful, at times stressful, at times farcical and at times enjoyable experience! A huge thanks to the small but loyal Brummie fanbase that put up with season after season of under performing teams, you deserved better! Full credit and my upmost respect to Nigel Tolley, he wasn't far short with the figures he quoted in the recent speedway star interview with what he invested in the club (there was also a six figure investment from other shareholders during the period I must add). Nigel is as mad as a (top) hatter, but I really like the guy. My only criticism of him (and he knows this, I told him enough times) is that he allowed himself to be influenced by others who failed to deliver for the club! Seeing the day to day finances and operations of the a Championship and then Premiership club is a real eye opener, so a massive thanks to Financial Director Tracey Smith, who somehow managed to juggle the finances to keep everyone happy (most of the time) a truly lovely lady, she has been the glue in a massively disjointed operation, which would have fallen apart without her. Some priceless moments over the 4 years on the management zoom meetings / race nights - I could write a book! You also learn a lot about riders, some smashing chaps around Paco Castagna (legend) Freddie Lindgren, Tobi M, Leon Flint, Sam Hagon, Jason Edwards, Thompson twins all really good guys! No comment about some mind Made some great friends, I will miss Guesty, Dave Rowe, Pete & Dan Ballinger, Chris Adams, the guys and girls from the supporters club and fellow shareholders Steven, Jake and Vic. Such a shame that Birmingham Speedway is no more, but without Nigel it wouldn't have got into 2023 let alone 2025 and for that alone he deserves the respect of those who knock him! Give us a B.....! Cheers Paul

Laguta, Kurtz and Bewley have been a disgrace.

I think Torun have too much firepower for the deficit to be bridged.

Great meeting a fair result and a superb advert for speedway.

Some meeting, great racing and good comeback from Leszno.

That was a cracking speedway meeting.

This Kings Lynn reserve is not bad!! 🤣

advantage leszno now,

Bydgoszcz should never of dumped so much water on.

The best meeting this season at the Bydgoszcz track

Tremendous racing ,not a lot of room but all action racing from everyone.

Workington have very little riding on the results of their fixtures.

you need some big balls to ride the track today.

You will know when a new date is agreed by both clubs.

Chris Julian (far left) rode for Plymouth back in the 60's together with his namesake Chris Blewett (third from right). They were both West Country lads although Blewett was born in Canada. They were known as fierce rivals but apparently it was all show and behind the scenes they were good mates.

I copy and pasted what was suggested, I onto read the comments from others and left it at that. Foxhall isn’t that bad and I live 1 km away from the track and they operate many weekends, outside in the garden yes it can be heard but the speedway isn’t half as loud as 20 cars at the same time. People just don’t like change and that’s fact, same as when people say happy for people to come to the country, then ask them to take one in their house and it’s a closed subject.

One of the problems to be overcome is that the application is not just for a speedway track that might operate, say, 20 times a year, for a couple of hours - it's for a motorsport park with speedway and karting, and as far as I can see, no information about the potential hours of operation is in the application. On that basis, and to be fair to the locals, the noise may well be an irritant. I don't think some of the responses on open forums are putting speedway in a good light. I think we'd do well as a community to focus on responding to the application using the template provided, and refain from being abusive to people who hold a different view. Beat them with planning arguments, not abuse.

Live updates here: https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/971/european-250cc-youth-speedway-championship-final-kumla.html Line up:

It’s Lublin who don’t have the money to continue to pay the riders too. I’ve posted before that the Polish cities give money to speedway / football and Lublin football is doing better so is getting a bigger split and Lublin were never going to keep spending crazy money every year (much like Man city). Kubera is leaving for more money at Falubaz and to be out of Zmarzlik’s shadow. Holder leaving for Gorzow, if they stay up! - this is almost a swap for Vaculik who was on big money in Gorzow but they didn’t offer him another contract the same money so he looked elsewhere. Przyjemski is highly likely going back to his home club Bydgoszcz. Also remember rules are looking to change for 2026 in Polish Zuzel for that both juniors do not have to be Polish but you must have 4 Polish riders in total, so everyone is moving clubs to suit the rules.

What a race that was heat 13 out of the top draw. Well done to both sets of riders. If only those filming this meeting could teach TNT or whatever they are called to show UK speedway in its true light as a sport. Polish speedway has it all and can teach other broadcasters a thing or two.

Now Dudek is in the last 2 races. 🤔

I'll be surprised if Torun lose by 12 with their side and tactical subs. Anyway I've paid to find out.

That is true

Around about 10,000 i reckon

It’s always better to head home after a victory, it was a pretty decent meeting last night with some good racing, special mention goes to Alfie Bowtell who was excellent, Simon Lambert as usual gave his all and I wouldn’t be upset if he was in the Bandits lineup next season. Once again the reserve pairing for Berwick weren’t great and the least said about Klindt’s performance the better. Final meeting of an interrupted season for me as I have something else on next weekend. Onwards to 26 , whatever it may hold

If Nagel is unavailable on Wednesday why should we, Friday at Edinburgh, Sunday at Redcar. The meeting has not long been put off, give them a chance to look at fixtures.

Full house for Bydgoszcz v Leszno final 1st leg- should be some match !

Link for today

Get well soon

Meeting has been rearranged for Sunday 14th September at 3pm. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/cab-direct-championship/postponed-workington-v-berwick-cab-direct-champ/

Adam KcKinna a much better alternative to Roynon.IMO

I wonder who that NDL rider is!!😀

Sounds bad i wish you a speedy recovery mate.

ill be at Bellevue, Monday, but then off to Antalya, on Thursday, for 2 weeks so will miss 2nd leg, also last gp. probably end up watching on my phone, can get all polish meetings on my phone.

Sheffield looked sharp and hungry while Ipswich didn’t. Sheffield clearly came in with a solid plan that paid off, and their team riding was spot on.

Which I why I agree the play offs are necessary. We’re not like other sports really because we’re solely reliant on fans attending to survive. If it were top team is champions and that’s that, a fair few teams would have their season ended early doors and gates would suffer even more. I still like the idea though that top team is champions no ifs or buts, top four contest the KOC.

Id take issue with your statement of "as often happens" re injuries and withdrawals early in matches I have no data but I'd expect the number of times a side has lost 2 riders in a match is tiny So no different to running IRR now - certainly not the reason to reject a change that could provide far more positives than potential issues
