What amenities were you expecting from a 5th tier Scottish league stadium? A glass fronted hospitality suite, two bars, a food outlet, track shop, 1,400 seater grandstand, a fantastic viewing point on the 3rd bend. Passing never been prominent at Shielfield, but there was more passing last night than at Redcar the previous night.

Scotty not too embarrassing tonight, if it wasn’t for him the score would have been embarrassing. The only embarrassing thing about this post is your comment!!

It is encouraging to see a council such as Rugby continuing to provide such support for this campaign.You can only imagine how different Speedway’s position would have been had Swindon and many other councils offered similar backing.

This looks a little bit more hopeful for Coventry and the 'Bees'. Some (one) of the naysayers should be ashamed of themselves. Folk only want and hope for their Speedway to return, what is so very wrong with that? I live in Sunderland and have no skin in the game, but I would love Coventry to return to Speedway. Up The 'Bees'!!!!!

Don’t forget the FREE Parking 😂

How many more does he want???

That Tarasenko EF is going to be costly.

Glad Pedersen got up, That crash looked awful.

Who's in the next one?...

Or after every race what's the score now 😂

I wouldn’t go as far saying he has been poor this season but he hasn’t hit the heights he is capable off.

Good luck to Pedersen let’s see if he can grab his chance to impress. And good luck to Bangs too hope he gets fixed up in the Championship and rediscovers his true form. There’s no question he’s a much better rider than what we’ve seen.

Agreed. He seems to make good decisions on the racetrack and is a decent gater..

Ryan Kinsley, if i remember us Scunny fans couldnt believe it, he blasted around the outside of Nicholls to win then he came into the next race and won that too

Ridiculous scoreline. Although i suppose without Barker and King, was going to be a struggle. Losing two at home going to make it difficult for playoffs now. Shame really as not a lot you can do about injuries. Although maybe everyone should think about maybe not using Bomber as a guest for a bit! 👀😬

Not sure, however, the Polish teams tend to foot the bill for the riders rehab, regardless of where they were riding when they got their injuries.. And it can easily run into high five figure costs... Meaning the rider's UK team can benefit from their rider coming back quicker...

I would say the introduction of air fences, has definitely been a factor in riders going on into in to their 40s. Riders bodies in the 80s and 90s took a lot more punishment with solid fences taking no prisoners, hence imo thats why a lot of riders didn't make it past their mid 30s.

Blodorn's gating tonight has been red hot. 🔥

Częstochowa team is a joke at Ekstraliga level. Zielona Góra should have been top 4 contenders but other the Lebedevs, their top 5 have been a disappointment. Kubera is rubbish, Madsen & Pr Pawlicki very hot/cold.

They're a better team than Leszno, hope they make top 4 but thus is a massive dent if Torun win.

Interesting,we really need to print more than a couple of Dozen🤔😂

Indeed, i cant think of another track in the history of the sport where you can attempt to ride the boards but still be in danger of clipping the back wheel of a rider hugging the white line 🤣

I'm sure an agreement could be made about appropriate splitting of the money.

Thank you very much for your help, Mike. I really do appreciate it. 👍🙂 At 81 years old, I find this tech stuff so difficult. 🙂

and, of course, speedway updates is very accurate and detailed 😉 sometimes they can’t even get the score right! Don't get me wrong, updates is a valuable site but it’s done by volunteers who are sometimes biased and usually do not have time to give you a full and accurate account of each individual race. and yes, I have been an ‘inputter’ on the site so know how difficult it is, bless them.

At the moment, the more meetings he has, the worse he rides!!

Thanks Toady, good news nice to see something positive about speedway.

OK so a few teams are now about half way through the regular season, the league table only tells you so much. So here's a League table based on the teams average points per meeting. Poole. 2.16 Edinburgh. 1.77 Glasgow. 1.66 Scunthorpe. 1.54 Berwick. 1.12 Plymouth. 0.90 Redcar. 0.90 Workington. 0.50 Oxford. 0.66 Redcar are starting to show their class, What's happening with Plymouth? Poole clearly can be beaten.

1st Denmark 27 qualify 2nd GB 22 qualify 3rd Italy 21 qualify 4th Norway 19 5th Slovenia 14 6th Netherlands/Hungary 12 7th France 11

Scott Nicholls was great the rest of the team it was pretty dire tbh.

Well done to Woryna that was brilliant riding and sensational overtaking.Much improved rider and a breath of fresh air with his riding.Very good meeting and close racing with only one fall all night.

Are you going to make any changes?

Something up there at those numbers....

Just ban him from reading and replying to your posts like I have 🚫 😂

Yes, but ideally run one, as two can impact each other. . Uninstall the one that isn't working and try another... I use "adblock for Samsung"... Obviously it will depend on what phone you use WK...

I thought I would get this in before another poster’s https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74k9klgwyko

The gaps between fixtures across both leagues is an absolute disgrace during summer months.

Track was like a typical Glasgow lady, very wet and a little rough. Track was there to be attacked. A half hour delay and the meeting would of been complete

An interesting answer from the BSP to a question asked by the Speedway Star as to why we now have riders absent on Thursdays when it was a UK priority night... It has been mentioned in here quite a few times, so I thought I would share the "official line".. Included within the answer is this... "Ahead of the 2025 season, a new TV deal in Poland saw selected fixtures from Metalkas 2 Extraliga (the second division) switched to Thursday evenings, usually one meeting per round. Faced with a scenario whereby rider availability for those competing in Poland may well have been further restricted, agreement was reached for the concession of priority to Poland for these televised Thursday fixtures". Now, my simplistic view would be that saying " No" to losing priority would have guaranteed no clashes, whilst saying "Yes" to losing priority pretty much guarantees clashes.. However, I presume some "leverage" was involved from those holding all the Speedway cards?... Another excellent production this week...

Well, at least they have listened to allow cash and card on the night. Just need to get things sorted on track now.

Should have been cash/card on the day at all times, pre applying for a ticket is bonkers and the older speedway fans don't do or won't do online stuff

... when he rides 🤔

He's a Kiwi
