Unfortunately that is it until 2026. Thanks to all the riders, clubs, officials, broadcasters, forum members, particularly Racers & Royals and Stewmac and all in involved in the Polish league racing, it has been great watching all the meetings here in the UK and hopefully many will get the opportunity to turn up at tracks in Poland next year to experience all that is great about the sport of Speedway.

I have been critical of Kerr for most of this season. Very poor the first half of the season, slowly improving but then EF’s. Tonight he showed why he was signed. Top performance. 13 points. Well done to him.

If it wasnt Poole it wouldnt be under discussion.

Possible difference is Championship might be classed as a pro league and NL as amateur. Either way the facility was granted and rightly so. If Wright was replaced tonight on compassionate grounds, there wouldn’t be a single Poole fan questioning it.

And PGE Ekstraliga attendances plummeted from 9625 last year down to a pathetic 10325 this year.

I’ve noticed There’s two different Paluch one that rides Gorzów and the one that rides all the other tracks.

Gorzows best 3 riders being in 20/30 heats over the 2 legs just does not seem right at all.

I don't know why they keep blaming the weather, the track is completely of their own making

To that end I'd recommend that you contact Jason Pipe and he'll tell you how many riders agreed to ride and then withdrew or were asked but declined the invitation. The 'Young Stars' part of the meeting name was to differentiate between the level that the senior side ride at and the National Development League which pretty much every rider in the meeting rides in. As an event I think it was a big success and will have done many of the riders present the world of good.

So are Redcar as Smith is no replacement for Jody Scott.

This is the place for 2026 season news

As per tbe Regulations 010.5 FACILITIES A Reduced facility (No Facility in British Development) only, is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a re-declaration has not made an appearance for that team since being re-declared. However, the team has the option to revert to the previous declaration. A team may utilise a facility to cover the absence of a rider(s) who is: - a) FIM World Speedway Championship and FIM World Long Track duty b) FIM Speedway of Nations / FIM Speedway World Cup duty c) FIME Speedway Championship duty d) the riders own FMN National Championship e) engaged elsewhere at a BSP LTD shared or purchased meeting f) recalled in accordance with the FIM SLB regulations g) injured whilst speedway racing This must be recorded on the Meeting Report by the Referee. This facility will apply automatically for a period up to a maximum of 28 days. The Promotion may apply to the SCB Co-Ordinator for an extension. If a rider has not declared illness or injury to the Referee before the closure of the meeting, as per the Meeting Report, subsequently provides a medical certificate, they will receive a mandatory 7 day suspension of their SCB Registration h) sick or carrying a non-speedway injury. The rider must immediately inform the SCB and their club. A Medical Certificate must be supplied to the SCB within 48 hours of the sickness/injury occurring in which case the rider will receive a mandatory 7 day suspension of his SCB Registration from the day of the first meeting missed. This facility will apply automatically for a period up to a maximum of 28 days. The Promotion may apply to the SCB Co-Ordinator for an extension i) suspended by the FIM, ACU, SCB or riders FMN j) in dispute with his club, provided that the circumstances have been accepted by the SCB Co-Ordinator who will determine the facility and period of the riders inactivity k) retiring during the current season a facility will be granted for a period of 28 days. After which the team must re-apply for a further facility to the SCB Co-Ordinator outlining the steps they have taken to find a replacement. An extension may be granted. In these circumstances a rider cannot return to ride for any club within 28 days, effective from the date of notification to the SCB l) a Championship rider who’s own FMN does not have a current agreement with the BSP LTD and is competing in another FMN’s National, League or Open Meeting. This will result in the riders SCB Registration being suspended for one (1) season and the riders team will be automatically granted a facility for a maximum period of 28 days, after which that team must re-declare m) awaiting medical clearance from the riders FMN n) NDL and NDT only: absent for any other reason - applicable to riders 18 years old and under, providing 3 days’ notice is given o) a rider with an assessed MA p) has been approved in a teams declared 1-7 at the start of the season but due to extenuating circumstances is not available, a facility may be granted, up to a maximum of 28 days, at the SCB Co-Ordinators discretion. In the NDL and NDT this only applies if the rider was in that teams 1-7 at the close of the previous season Therefore, I would imagine that Poole were granted a facility under subsection p) There is a distinction between PL / Championship , and NDL/NDT,

Redcar was a bit boring tonight wasn't it? Glasgow should win the final overall, they have 5 heat leaders!!

Doesn't really matter which teams are or aren't involved, its the inconsistency that gets to people. I was under the impression you could have guests for pretty much anything in the NL & NDT anyway, obviously not!

It'd be interesting to know why Oxford weren't allowed one for Jason Garrad and Poole are for Richard Lawson.

Gorzow have had a complete miracle in these 2 meetings with 3 top heatleaders in 66% of all races , it sort of feels underhand in a way

Well done to the Pirates, we turned up and took the battle to Redcar.

My thoughts exactly, he certainly turned up tonight.

he couldn't get to Poole last week..🤣

OK that's itfc breaking 16 years of not winning against Naaarwich fc, come on you Witches let's bring it home this year.

He has an affinity for Lublin more than all the other clubs he rode for, that’s why he announced his retirement there during a recent match.

'Totally false advertising' feels like something of an exaggeration. Do you know they 'could of' (I assume you mean 'could have') filled it with more 'age appropriate' riders? Which ones do you know were available and didn't get invited?

Well done to Australia, fully deserved that as the best pair. Glad to be going back to the World Cup next year though, it's just a far superior event.

Without Lawson poole are done ,bears look to strong

Whilst I would much prefer that the highest scorer wins, there are plenty of sports where the top qualifier doesn't win the final. I don't think that's the reason why people don't take speedway seriously

Surely it's gamble worth taking because the current rock bottom attendances need a major boost. I think those who watch speedway nowadays will stay loyal whatever. And the only way to attract the 50/50 followers back through the turnstiles is via a more varied fixture list. Meeting the same teams 4 or more times each season just breeds complacency. Not that the riders care, of course, but Joe Public needs more variety.!!!!

Are you confusing the night when Ben Powell, riding for Scunthorpe, aimed his bike (after the race) at Newcastle's Kenni Larsen (after Powell had dismounted it)?

Hopefully something gets sorted there and quickly. A fine club Sheffield Wednesday.

Until 2026.

But your happy to be over critical of the Poole track.

Jack holder and Kyle Howarth have missed matches for the same reason this season.

Your questioning whether Poole should be allowed a facility for Lawson on compassionate grounds.

Read previous Posts.

It’s nothing to do with maths and all to do with Lawson not turning up again

Why not,it’s always been allowed if the converted average fits.!

Which is what Havvy just said. There has been very little passing.

Joel Parsons

Redcar have buggered their own track up good and proper!

He had a winning head to head record over him in the GP series.

At Saltburn by sea, wind blowing very strong. Having latte and scone. Will support Pirates win or lose, stay safe all riders. Adam Ellis a good guest. ☠️☠️☠️

And the award to the fool speaking the biggest amount of boll*cks this week goes to… You really need to stop now. Wrong on all accounts. Go back under the bridge with the other trolls…

See previous reply, bikes were available to go to Poole it was the rider who wasn't available or couldn't be arsed to be available. Your welcome to him next year

If your going to show the GOAT some aggression make sure you have the talent to back it up or you just look a twit

Funny how I supposedly hate Poole yet I spent the afternoon with Matt Ford and his wife here in France.

He starting to make Jack Holder likeable😂👌

I really don't know why the Czechs keep bothering with Milik, they're out of it and Bubba is clearly the future... so get him in!!

Did Lambert just look over his shoulder and block Bewley trying to build up his speed on the outside there?

I think the track needs watering. Is Phil there?

After the fear the weather could spoil things running in to October, thankfully the weather is set fair for next week so no excuses not to have both tracks prepared well for the final.

Still being worked on... Cue R87 posting 'Another fantasy'...
