Hope Kvech is ok. Let’s see if he is able to ride in Poland on Sunday.

As expected.

All too easy for the Lions tonight. If only the Aces GP star had bothered to turn up!

Close call in the end. Good effort from the Stars.

Remains to be seen how things are structured for league racing next season. Think British speedway is at that point now with so few teams still running.

It’s not like anyone is surprised he is missing He will ride the GP and Poland tho. That’s a cert. Doyle you could almost say you would expect given he has dislocated his hip TWICE in the last month. Kurtz will be another one soon that thinks he is too big for the UK.

But rode Monday despite clearly struggling. Odd to single out Doyle who always rides if possible,

And no reason why he wouldn’t be able to ride Thursday then.

I can’t find that but I think it was only the one stint.

He did last year. 🤔

I’d driven past the stadium at about 8pm but seems I made the right decision again about not stopping to watch the action on a completely dreadfully prepared track. Tolley’s interview was completely barking. All down to track prep despite being absolutely slaughtered and embarrassingly . The Brummies must be happy that he is the only thing keeping the sport in Birmingham alive. Seems a proper speedway fan but he is off his nut in that interview!

Let’s hope Kurtz doesn’t pick his meetings again. 🤐

TNT only cover league matches. They didn’t even give updates or a mention that any other matches were on neither.

Great win for the Brummies. Both had riders missing so no one team penalised more than the other. Aces won’t win much with those reserves. surprised to see Zagar doing so well.

Yes it rained, yes it stopped. Would have done the track good I reckon. Drove past the stadium just before 8pm and it wasn’t raining.

Unexpected result, well done Brum.

Stars should win, can’t see this Birmingham side winning all season, I hope I’m wrong!

Perhaps not a surprise at the result. In their positions both Doyle and Dan are irreplaceable. Results are going to be iffy for a while for the Witches until both the injured boys are back. They will be in the play offs and so long as that injury curse stays away there isn’t a team that will match them. No surprise to see certain fans rubbing their hands with glee at the Witches losing at home. It’s the only hope they have of their team winning anything this year.

A lot will depend on Fricke as always. Should be a relatively routine home win about 50-40

That’s a fair perspective actually. However most speedway fans know that this is the last season for the Brummies without the announcement.

Dreadful weekend for the Witches. I really hope it doesn’t ruin there season again. Doyle at least seems upbeat from his post and hopefully will be back later in the year. Thompson is a hard one to replace. At least hopefully both make it back for the PO’s, they have as good as already qualified already.

Yes someone else mentioned Sheffield, I have no knowledge about that. Thing is Birmingham has been a known fact that 2025 was the last at the stadium and the dogs were moving out. Id have left things till the last week if I was Tolley to make it official. Everyone would have known the news anyway.

Narrow Stars win 46-44

Witches at a canter 35-55

It was known last year that the dogs were moving out in the summer and speedway had till end of September. Maybe, just maybe Tolley and co were hoping another compromise could be reached with the stadium but speedway alone was never going to save the stadium from closing to the sport. Sad day however it’s not surprising news tho.
