  1. Correct call from the ref, Starke was going down in slow motion. However they normally bottle it and put all 4 back so good to see some strong refereeing for a change.

  2. Abbreviated accounts are not very informative so it is hard to be certain. I suspect note 4 and accounting policy 2.6 of the amended 2023 accounts are the key. Or alternatively it may be mis-accounting for transfer of BSPA funds into BSPL in 2020 (is there a fund where members bonds are held that was not initially included?) But I also note that 2020 was covid year, so could it be mis-treatment of deferred TV rights income? How about covid loans that subsequently were converted into grants without the change being reflected in the accounts? My question is what is that £200k plus in stock? [Retired chartered accountant]

  10. First thing he can suggest is that we get people back into stadiums by ditching the loathsome BSN. Why do we have to have streaming that gives fans a perfect excuse to not bother? Get rid of it. Its rubbish

  11. Polish media are reporting that UK based Mayfield Sport management are poised to be the GP promoters from 2026. Richard Coleman and his wife seem to be the 2 directors, and it was Mayfield Sport that ran the 2023 Cardiff GP presumably on behalf of WBD. They are based in Brackley. Several things are on Companies house including information that this company was only incorporated in August this year, however there is information in the public domain about previous companies and even a winding up petition.

  13. How can they mention Wildcards when depending on the SEC result on Friday they might end up with 4 instead of the expected 3 !!

  15. It would be fair to presume that the purpose of Speedway futures is to create income for UK speedway - although it is not clear exactly which divisions/teams are the targeted beneficiaries. It’s reasonable to expect that the folk who are involved in successfully creating revenues for clubs would be entitled to receive compensation/pay for their efforts aka the CEO & his team. Don’t expect for one moment that Harry R will be joining the team gratis free. As for shareholders, they do not receive a share of the income proportionate to their shareholding. At best they receive a dividend of the profits after all costs are accounted for including the disbursements of raised funds to the clubs/leagues concerned.

  16. TNT production costs significantly higher than BSN maybe as much 10 times as much for play offs with additional cameras being used Not been in Leicestershire today but know when I left at 8pm last night it was very heavy rain with roads flooded

  17. Cairns is just 16. He has a great future in the sport, no doubt about it. There’s no pressure on him or over expectation.

  18. First off well done to Redcar for keeping it close. The Redcar reserves were the ones who did all the work, beating Starke and Cairns, and Tobias, who seemed to have a brain fart on bends one and two tonight. I have said all season Poole are not good enough this season and it will take a hell of an effort to progress to the final. Some very hard racing. Rowe and Kings battle was tough stuff. Lawson superb. Mention to young Jody Scott who has come on leap and bounds. Gates one and three seemed to have an advantage. Gate 4 was very soft as the rain had got into it. Poole very unlucky with 4th Tobias tapes EX. Ref didn’t see it and Edwards fell on bend one on his own. But allowed back in as the tapes infringement comes first. All to play for and Poole riders do like Redcar. But think this time the bears might get through to the final. Redcar v Edinburgh in the playoff final? What were the odds?

  19. The challenge is on. Well done to both teams and keeping close makes for an interesting next leg.

  21. The East of England Showground development is now in limbo after a key legal agreement (Section 106) was not signed by EEAS/AEPG, missing yet another crucial deadline. As a result, the proposals will return to the Planning and Environmental Protection Committee on October 21st, with both applications expected to face a recommendation for rejection. The future of the site remains uncertain. For speedway supporters, there is still a potential way back – but if this latest twist plays out as reported, it should be seen as a battle won rather than the end of the war. As Bratters’ post highlights, this is a moment to take heart – but not to let our guard down. There are still plenty of concerns and questions in the article, and history shows we can’t trust this lot further than we can throw them.

  22. They could have made those quotes from him sound more realistic. "The boy Bartosz is a top, top rider" “You will never get a better chance to win a race than heat 2 at Belle Vue. My missus could have won that one.”

  23. TNT always mention this program contains flashing lights before the broadcasting starts. So it’s the tractors lights is it?😂😂😂

  24. I would imagine it has nothing to do with being in a panic and everything to do with giving the broadcaster 24 hours notice as per their broadcast agreement.

  26. Kurtz qualified but I take your point about new blood. Bewley & Holder came in with the exclusion of the Russians and this year Lebedevs looks to have also stepped up a notch or two

  33. I would like to think Morris will be back more so as a way of thanking Berwick for getting him back into British speedway. The crack going around last night was that both the danes are happy to come back for 2026.

  35. Doyle in place of Fricke for me, although I think he's probably not got another championship in him I do think that with the way he puts himself about he'd have more of an impact in the destination of the title than Fricke would... if he could stay fit.

  36. Edinburgh must be commended for having a light on their tractor... unfortunately it's not flashing as per the requirement of SCB Reg 05.1.8 It maybe Glasgow's last chance if they were to point this out to The Weasel

  38. https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/peterborough-city-council-urged-to-rethink-decisions-for-1500-homes-and-leisure-development-of-showground-5217002 AI Generated content. Check important info as it can make mistakes: **What does a “pre-action protocol letter” mean?** The article mentions that solicitors for Forever Panthers have submitted a *pre-action protocol letter* to the council — and that’s actually quite a big deal. It’s the formal legal warning shot before taking a council to court through judicial review. It doesn’t mean the case has started yet, but it puts Peterborough City Council on notice that their decision (likely the approval of the 650-home plan or the way the call-in was handled) may be unlawful. The letter gives the council a short window — usually two weeks — to respond, explain themselves, or fix the problem. If not, the group can then ask the High Court to intervene. It’s about whether the decision-making process was legal and fair, not just whether the outcome was unpopular. In short: the legal wheels are turning now, and the pressure is officially on.
