You're going to Leicester on Thursday? Good news for those going to Ipswich.

Wouldn’t have had a meltdown if he wasn’t selected behind the Russians or Fricke or Michelsen or Vaculik ….. however if someone like Becker was in ahead of him then yes How the hell is Tai in there??? Farcical Left out last season …. Has a serious crash that ended his season early So in what way is he a better selection than Michelsen or Vaculik or even Kvech? Wasn’t good enough in 2024 in arguably a weaker line up … has missed a whole season so who knows how good he will be …. Awful choice

No Chris Harris tonight ? What kind of play off final is this.

Woffinden ffs I hear Bruce penhall was available

April Fools Day has been cancelled next year, because no amount of pranks can match the unbelievable stupidity of the FIM right now...

Including Woffinden is an absolute joke.

give the fans what they want, a chris harris play off final appearance

Not so sure about all this praise regarding Mr Dickson, he's dropped some clangers with Leicester in the PL, he binned Dan Thompson off, signed the likes of Craig Cook & Troy Batchelor had Nick Morris & Richie Worrall. Started this season off with Cook & Hagon when neither should have been anywhere near a Lions team place, has stuck by Drew Kemp & Joe Thompson for far too long... he does talk a good game though, I'll give him that!

Poland is over.....

You realise you watch racing at Poole every week? Pots and kettles Shovvy.

Doesn't do the top league any favours having lads of such calibre riding in it... A shame for them too, as it must smash their confidence...

Well at least that's the after meeting disco sorted.

Is it that strange though when you see how SGP works, money, money, money and Monster is the sponsor, who sponsors Tai? Oh yeah! Who got most social media and news media clicks from a crash that went beyond speedway, and they probably think they can create a ‘comeback story’ from it! I think it’s a farce personally but then I’ve thought that for a few years!

Thought there was some decent racing at times 🤷🏼‍♂️ ok wasn’t a thriller, but there was some good races in there. Wasn’t as good as the Sheffield meeting in the semi, but thought it was better than both semi’s at Foxhall and the NSS. Fingers crossed Adam isn’t too beat up. Been in the wars a bit.

Ipswich away fans not a patch on the Aces fans from last season.

He needs to be in the GP's instead of Woffy....

The racing has been poor hasn't it? First to last well spread out... Three quarters of a straight on many occasions...

What a choke job this is from Leicester. Easy title win for Ipswich now.

Here we go again... Surprise from Kelvin that he got excluded when he fell completely on his own...

Stewart Dickson pulling no punches. Lions riders playing on their phones is an awful attitude to have on a night like this.

Not going to be a hypocrite because I want Ipswich to win but I honestly don't know why they're making such a big deal out of the race being awarded. 1 Million percent the correct decision, Brennan was miles behind and you could've had another 6 laps and Tom wouldn't have got close to the Lions pair.

Totally the right call to award that heat. Brennan was way back and not in contention. Why give him a second opportunity? I am completely neutral and don’t give a damn who wins. Ellis was the most exciting rider so far. Really gave it a go. Did well for Poole last night as well. Get well soon Adam.

So lap 2 isn’t finished and the ref awards it…. Shocking

Including Woffinden is an absolute joke.

"Shall we get a new face in? Someone young, exciting, fresh or should we stick with an old face, someone we at least know will be challenging at the top end?" "What about if we just did neither?" What a strange 3rd pick.

It’s a shame Doyle is in as I was looking forward to Gavans meltdown

It won't be a playoffs without Chris Harris guesting for someone.

I've seen clearer images with a potato. How can you claim that shows anything?

The Leicester Jigsaws...they always go to pieces in the final...

Emil is so good around Leicester. Lions poor attitude has really cost them tonight, Dickson must be fuming.

Surely common sense did prevail in that case though? No way Brennan was catching the Leicester pair in that first running. So why should he get another chance just because his teammate fell off?

Good job Fricke did win Ht 15 against Sheffield in the SF. Sheffield would've made us work for the win.

King should have been excluded hardly got touched.

Doesnt your boss know whats important in your life!!!

Scotty confirming there he's doing another season, does that suggest two leagues? Unlikely to be interested in a one league set up with tv work I'd imagine???

Could prove very costly overall as well.

Unusual but a fair enough call to award given the track position Think the ref delayed red light until they were over the start line so he had the option

Good call from the ref.... Brennan was nowhere near the front two....

Ellis trying to ride far beyond his ability 😂

Let's hope for two really close meetings to showcase the sport.... And the Lions win.....

Didnt know he was a Rugby fan!

Disgusting. If Wroclaw's 2nd best rider nearly beat Zmarzlik, imagine what Wroclaw's best rider would do. I will be boycotting the GP series.

With entertainment value you could have argued for Nicki Pedersen for a wildcard

Don’t think they took advice from Phil or they would have still been watering it every 4 heats.😂

Particular congratulations to all involved on growing the fanbase by successfully integrating two very disparate groups of fans.

Poorest meeting I've seen there. Usually a good standard at Redcar.

Being self employed doesn’t prevent riders being on or off a list of those who agree to a statutory & all inclusive “guest pay rate” - The challenge would be to get all promotions to abide by the associated rules & not to try work arounds. Which of course some will, especially those with little business acumen, and or their own vested interests over that of the sport.

Agree. Especially with Dan at reserve who can clock up the rides. We know Dan rides Leicester well. What we can’t afford to do, is have Brennan strapped up and “giving it a go”. He’s our biggest threat in the middle order, and a struggling Brennan pottering around at the back struggling to hang on for a ride or two COULD ultimately cost us a league title. Every point will count here. He needs to be 100% or pretty damn close to it otherwise go with R/R.

11 years ago stal won the title with the likes of Zmarzlik, Iversen,Kasprzak, Zagar… the young boy below celebrating below with his Dad, which I have circled, is a small Oskar Paluch at 8 years old! Last night he was the superstar who saved his dad’s boyhood club. Amazing story!
