I did not mention Zmarzlik, what is your problem? I would never want to see any rider carted off to hospital, I was simply applauding the winner. The sport has inherent risks. This is what makes this and many other forums and platforms a pain in the arse, full of argumentative individuals who think only their views count, they cannot accept a counter view and believes that everyone else is wrong. Part of an effing society who are responsible for a decline in standards and have ruined what was once a great place to live.

No complaints here, speedway on a Saturday night live on TV, Hopefully this is an opportunity that brings forth a new TV era and the powers that get on board and grab what is possibly on offer. It would be so good to see the sport live or recorded in 2027 on ITV 4. Fingers crossed.

Yep agree with your comments. Fingers crossed and I really wish/hope that Dudek makes it to the top because he is talented and what a champion he would make. It would be so good to see him riding in the UK. It will never happen unless they hold a test match. I am so glad I saw Gollob and all the other Polish riders wear the Witches race jacket. Those were the days

Well done to Maciej in Poland tonight fingers crossed for one of the youngsters to fill those positions behind Robert.

Cooper Rushen comes across as a great competitor and good luck to the lad. We need more like him and if the UK can generate this sort of rider, the future does look bright. Great to see lads like this having the confidence to mix it with some of the best in KK speedway.

Totally agree, great to have racing live on a Saturday night. When did that last happen. Thanks ITV 4 and hopefully that can see the potential and perhaps look at the wider European scene.

Agree and the presentation is not far behind the Polish scene and watching both championships, the Polish racers tonight are far more competitive and producing closer racing and the UK racing seems a bit tame by comparison but that said ITV are doing a first rate show. Maybe the governing body missed an opportunity to fill the stadium. Just take a look at the Polish championship and price point versus Belle Vue. It would not have taken much to push the boat out on this one but UK speedway really lacks the ability to put on something special.

Talking of less is more, those in charge could start with the rule book. I read in this weeks SS it now runs to 180 pages. Was someone bored when they started writing it up or were they thinking of another sport and got confused. Next point to consider is getting rid of Vatcher, he has done a lot of harm to the image with his decision making and yes I know he may been on site to support younger aspiring riders who take to the track but overall him and few other cohorts need to move aside. Regulations and staffing needs trimming and the governing body should stop threatening riders who take part in Nora run meetings. Years back you had open meetings and often unattached riders would compete but now former riders and those younger ones with a reasonable amount of experience are throwing in the towel because the sport and administration is so badly managed to the point where it is mismanaged and if they awarded degrees for incompetence those collectively sitting on the table and the admin team would all receive a 1st. They then complain that the UK has a shortage of home grown riders. Take a look in the mirror chaps and I think you will find the who is to blame.

What is Jason made of after that crash. Bloody hell the guy was put through it then and walked back to the pits.

Jason rightly upset with that move.

Fingers crossed as I think he gained so much needed confidence from that meeting and showed what he can do. A bit of an up and down season and I wonder how much the injury in the USA really set him back.

Does it matter. The fact that it got plugged hopefully means a few more potential punters get to watch it. I am sure if he wins they will get it right. Perhaps if it was a Commonwealth and British final following a a number of qualifying rounds then it might have been even more competitive. Imagine have Chris Holder and Jason Doyle competing. Perhaps that is for the future, for now we must appreciate the opportunity this coverage offers the sport. To those in charge, a simple message, promote it as much as you can and don’t cock it up.

Anglia TV news has given the meeting a good plug this evening listing the local riders from Ipswich and Kings Lynn as well as mentioning Robert Lambert. Fingers crossed those in charge get this right.

Tom Brennan’s licence has been revoked in Poland. Seems it is something to do with the number of leagues he has ridden and the points he scored last weekend have been deducted from the result.

Home team starting to run away with it, good rider by Holder.
