Be a class signing. But can't see it happening

Think the sport needs to drop a level sadly. It's great to watch likes of the Holders, Woffy, Doyle, Kurtz and Sayfutdinov, but they're sadly few and far between that do want to ride in gb. I think the time has come to stop competing with the Polish top league. The money is just completely incomparable- when youve got Doyle reporting to have made over £40k from one meeting in Poland how can you expect anyone to risk it all to come ride over here? It makes no sense to. The sport needs to make it a more viable option even that means you cater more for the mid end riders.

I'm no medical professional but for me it feels he's coming back far too early. And I'm sure it's a combination of a bit of pressure from his Polish side and sheer determination from Doyle wanting to get back on the bike. I just hope Jason hasn't tried to get back too soon at the potential detriment of his health.

So just to make things clear, weve gone from Sheffield is closing next year due as we're getting kicked out of Owlerton to now Tolley is taking over Sheffield... We're proper 'in the know' on this forum 🤡

Stock cars have a completely seperate pit area to the speedway. The stocks used an area behind the 2nd bend where the old training track was- so would have no effect on the speedway. The greyhounds are going nowhere and therefore the stadium is going nowhere. Think people have seen the news with the stock cars and presumed incorrectly.

Like this hasn't been known since the start of the season. Polish media announced that MJJ wasn't doing a full season in Britain and now it's being made out its a last minute decision? Absolute load of s***. Embarrassing from all sides. And as always, the sport in this country is made to look even more amateur. I genuinely believed things were getting better and we were seeing a move in the right direction. But it's all the same old.

Superb meeting that was. Speedway as it should be with two good sides going at it, a close scoreline and some cracking racing. Credit to both sets of riders. Credit to Ipswich as they are living up to the hype and showing why they're the favourites for the league.

Can any Ipswich fans explain Sayfutdinov weird pre match 'ritual' he's just walked on the track, rolled about in dirt and then started scooting about on his arse like he's a dog with worms. I've seen some warm ups in my time, but thst was the most bizarre!

Absolutely makes us weaker but I'd rather us make a change rather than running rr for most the season. Must Absolutely be slim pickings and a bit disappointing that we've gone way under limit which will get taken up by Rowe once he's on his real average. But it is what it is, should be fine round Owlerton but I reckon we'll suffer on the road.

Good luck to Stewart Dickson having the most awkward job in British Speedway.

Firstly, great team performance again- been fantastic to see Picko start as he finished last season, looks a rider full of confidence and really made Owlerton his track, Holders were their usual selves and both Anders and Leon are looking real coups. I do feel sorry for Danyon in some respect. He's been put in a really difficult position and we can't have massive expectations. But to me he just doesn't look comfortable round Owlerton and if he was to be dropped this early on it would be a harsh move. But equally we need to do what's right for the team. Again, no disrespect to KL or Birmingham, but bigger challenges will be coming and we do need to see some improvement. There aren't many riders that we could sign out there for what average we have unless we make a double change- He's got a few meetings for the Bandits between now and our next meeting- hopefully he can score well there, get his confidence up and show what he can do when we're up against Oxford.

They really are taking the p*** now. Once again, zero communication to the supporters and the paying public are kept in the dark until they've paid out of their pockets.

Can't say much more other than an excellent performance from the boys. Special mention has to go to Leon, I think it's fair to say that on his visits to Owlerton he's looked a bit under power and was often there for the taking. Not tonight, looked really quick and did an excellent job to hold off Musielak and to pass round Jeppesen. Early days, and no offence to Birmingham, but we will come up against bigger challenges this season. But a very encouraging start to the season.

Not that i think anyone's surprised in the slightest but once again the fans are left in the dark and treated like idiots. I understand with what happened with Rory and now Cook is completely beyond their control, but just bloody communicate with the fans.

I don't see how there's any doubt that we would be granted a facility. Plymouth started the season without Covatti when he got injured riding in Argentina, so why wouldn't we?
