And you're a fine example of somebody who loves to attend speedway meetings in person right? Shame you said the exact opposite three months ago....

Thank goodness Howarth let Kemp win that one... or Kemp may have pulled up at the back 😁

If i want to go to a meeting I go to the venue. What about those that are unable to attend a meeting for family or medical reasons? Nobody is asking you to spend any money on a "cheap and nasty production". I'm not aware that there are any available, anyway. You sound like a very bitter person who doesn't really like Speedway at all. But sensible people regard BSN as a superb service, which provides people with the opportunity to watch the sport they love.

I don't know but they're keen as mustard 😁

Fricke is a class act in this country

Would take Morris back at Berwick on his average,owes the Club for giving him his chance to come back.That means nothing nowadays though,£££ matters.

He will be on the cash only turnstile !!

But the season isn’t “Over” is it? 🙄 Couldn’t have said that better myself. This sport collectively attracts the most miserable buggers on earth unfortunately. Whinge after whinge after whinge. Speedway in Britain has always had a finishing date of October 31st. There’s plenty of time to fit in any remaining fixtures. We at Ipswich used to run fixtures right up until Halloween in the not too distant past, with people dressing up in Halloween costumes and prizes awarded to the best outfit!

I do feel some people are going a bit overboard on the cancelations, especially in the PL. The season does not finish until the end of October, so there's still around 6 weeks to run 4 matches. The alternative is to finish up by the end of August... and people would be complaining about that. I think it's more imperative that clubs invest in track covers more than ever, with riders not wanting to ride at the slightest site of a wet track these days, track covers would certainly allow many of the fixtures to take place when there's been the 4 o'clock shower that leaves a track saturated and the sun is out at start time. The CL on the other hand, that does seem to be a bit more shambolic with all of their competitions still having a long way to run.

A simple rule !!! If riders are tied after 20 heats it goes to wins, 2nds and 3rd’s - if that cannot split them then the fastest time set by each rider is the determining factor. It shouldn’t be but it is. All because they couldn’t work out who beat who in the 4 rider tie in Cardiff in 2024.

After the complaints about Kurtz and Bewley on Thursday night, it was good to see Fricke and Holder on Saturday prioritising their Prem SF commitments 😉

As you have no idea whats going on between the two clubs and the riders availability , or even if its Poole who cant fit it in, I think your comment is pathetic.

Unless his bike has packed up then a rider shouldn’t be retiring from a race. Do the job you’re employed to do.

Great comeback from the Lions! There's going to be some sore Tigers fans when they return to their cars... everybody that has parked on the footpath has got a parking ticket 😂

Pathetic Sheffield fans booing Howarth …. Was their captain when they won the league and Rowe just wiped him out Awful fan base

This is the most sat on the sofa with your arm elbow deep in a tube of Pringles clueless comment I have ever read on this forum. A rider should actively decide to crash on his own accord going 50mph minimum, and potentially causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to his equipment and injuring himself. Very good.

Harris is a great rider and servant to British speedway. I was there with 40,000 other when Bomber won the 2007 Cardiff GP. What a ride! He has been great and rarely injured. He was talking about retiring several years ago. Glad he didn’t. Needs a huge testimonial meeting when he does hang up his Kevlars.

Then clearly you know nothing about business

Only rider who deserves a wild card is laguta who was robbed of defending his title by the woke tossers that are the FIM

Incorrect, not scoring more points than Bartosz cost him the title. All riders knew the scoring system before it started.

They could go for a high winds setup with their bikes 🤔

Taking half a meeting to adapt to track conditions isnt acceptable at the business end of the season. Did the Glasgow riders mis-judge the track walk, did they ask for it to be ultra slick, did they even know what they were getting beforehand? Whatever it was it can't happen again, we have some hefty points deficits to claw back in our next two home meetings. Its all very well bringing in Andy Meredith to boost our GP or SGP2 chances next season but if it is affecting our core product its a no for me. Lets prep the track to suit our riders wherever possible, its brings the best out in them and allows the racers to shine.

Listening to Stead and also Picko make the meeting about the referee is funny, Leicester could do the same so it isn’t an excuse. Picko ran two 0s in heat 13 and 15 so need to look at that more than heat 14. Funny that when Rowe hit Howarth Ollie said all four back… there was only three left at that point 😂 Also, a mention to Fricke, he rode brilliantly, and not just for himself but team riding was brilliant as well to not just run away and win races, even in 15 you could see how he tried to slow Holder down so Masters has time but Masters just wasn’t fast enough so Fricke chose to help instead of overtaking him and run off in the lead. I know it was still 4-2 but great effort from him.

1 of those was a 5-0. It was a great points scoring performance on the night and he more than did his job, but... I don't know if you were there but there was a lot of screaming under his helmet going on after his duffer races, at least twice he pulled up at the back failing to complete his final lap, still while under power, I can't help but think that these actions, maybe subconsciously, permeates through the team. He's probably had his best season in the sport, but let's face it he's 23 now and still at reserve. He's got the talent on a bike but needs to eradicate this from his game to progress

Go back a few pages and it was all over 😆 Leicester might as well pack up and go home,,, wow what a turn around that was

I’m surprised Dickson puts up with this from Kemp. It’s quite possible that one of the other riders in the race could fall or stop with a mechanical issue after Kemp has pulled over, thus throwing a point away. This is particularly important in two legged matches where points margins are crucial.

Dangerous track again … bike just sucked out wide on the one line again and no chance for Morris

Think you'll have to go to Holsted if you want to see Knudsen.

Can somebody print and frame this for me please 😂😂😂😂

It was the right decision at Poole too, just because as it turned out they could of raced doesnt make it a bad decision.

you wouldnt believe we had the best summer in years and no week break for Speedway of Nations, this was the year that we could and should have finished earlier

R87 is just a wind-up merchant looking for attention. Everything that he says is complete boll*cks and as someone quite rightly pointed out, he is a liar. The contradictions are laughable. Bizarre that he spends time on a forum about a sport that he continually derides and can’t be more negative about. Such odd behaviour.

I liked Fricke's reaction to being excluded, take it on the chin and get on with the rest of the meeting. His team riding was great to see and Jack could learn a lot from him.

So if Andzejs Lebedevs wins the SEC tonight, he'll have qualified for next year's GPs 3 ways. Will he get the full set and be awarded a wildcard as well? 🤪

CLASS!!!!!! So very, very true. Well done Bojangles - properly nailed on, I would say - and by his OWN WORDS too. Great Post.

One of the best meetings of the season.

Feels like the end of the season can't come soon enough across the board now. Two Premiership semi finals so far that have been as enjoyable as lying on the ground while someone stamp on your balls for two hours, and this one has been no better. If ever there was a clear sign that British Speedway is completely stale, then this is it. Never mind Harry Redknapp, it needs Harry Houdini to sort this out

A chance to do the radical reset that should have taken place post Covid... Let's hope they have learned from the mistakes they made the last time they made "one big league", and every team gets to be competitive this time...

That's weird. I'm sure I saw Sam Masters battling all the way to the line in Heat 1 and then re-overtake Lawson in Heat 15. Must be imagining that!

You really are a buffoon. WTF are you talking about?!

Perhaps it is to help Sheffield For them to agree for it to be a reserved date for the semi surely they would have to have the stadium owners on board and that would likely be at a cost If the date isn't required to complete the semi final then that would be a wasted expense unless the league fixture fills the space Therefore this seems like sensible planning to me

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]

Only at Poole when the tide is in ☠️

Don't worry about it. You have finished earlier. 😉

What this year or next year 😂

Think this should get through your thick skull……quote…’ Redcar are at home on Sept 20 and 26 so undoubtedly wouldn't want another home meeting the following day, nor the 27th. Sept 30 may be embargoed due to SON in Poland ( Sept 30 to October 4) crazy but would also explain why Sunday October 5 is the first available date. ‘. ……unquote.

Premiership is governed by the TNT deal but the Championship has made an absolute horlicks of their fixtures this year with none of the competitions anywhere near being concluded. No doubt due to riders being unavailable at various times due to foreign commitments, not to mention all the guests used for uninjured riders. Its been a complete mess and will probably only get worse before the end of October. A massive rethink needed for next year.

Spring races were introduced at the beginning of this season... why ? ... to stop Zmarzlik winning the 6th. Also, everyone knew them as part of the new scoring system. Zmarzlik proved to be faster there than Kurtz. You better ask yourself by what kind of "rule" Kurtz got direct place in the final instead of Lebedev who beat him in heat 17

The championship league hold all the aces,they stand together and they can control the way things go,I would love to regularly watch grand prix riders at poole but that's not going to be possible in british speedway anymore,need a structure that works for british speedway and that won't include gp riders,if bv and ipswich got to have them, then just have to race against each other

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