Bash

The one decision the ref did get wrong was not excluding Newman in heat 12. He pulled a locker which forced his back wheel into hitting Jody Scott, not a case of first bend bunching.

Think this was the reason not on terrestial tv as I think they know the teams are so mismatched this year and wouldn't be good viewing to promote the sport. Not an unexpected result and don't expect to see many passes next week in the return leg watched by one man and his dog as it's a forgone conclusion. Belle Vue were always going to win it this year and only injuries would stop them, but they got a more than adequate replacement in Doyle for Bewley.

I'd rather have Musielak than what a lot of people on here are putting in Woryna. He is an accident waiting to happen on the tighter British tracks.

They had Lewis Kerr on standby if Nicholls didn't make it

He looked like he was being dragged by Paul Hurry to collect his medal after the rest of the team were taken on the truck, he was also the first to come back to the pits on his own.

We can always hope Drew has a meeting like he did at Poole tonight

Welcome Dan Bewley

Wonder if Stewart Dickson is already at Foxhall trying to hijack the tractor 😀

Think Lemo cost you that meeting by putting Cook in heat 13, when all he had done was get a lucky win in the rerun of heat 3 after Morris fell with Cook was at the back in the original staging. Should have put Kildemand in instead, or like someone else said used Kildemand earlier and put Blodorn in heat 13.

The preview on bspa site says if fit, so have you seen somewhere else that he is definitely back tonight?

There is nothing on the Ipswich preview but just read on the Sheffield website that he is injured

Why have we got a rising star in Will Cairns replacing Kevin Juhl Pedersen at 6, didn't exactly go that well when BV were here a few weeks ago.

Don't the stocks run on the tarmac track, so why would the speedway track have clay in it

Where did you hear that Siggy, always thought it was a strange choice for team manager, doesn't seem to be the motivator you need to get the team going. Maybe if Scotty does retire he could take it over next season.

Think we will do well to hit 40 tonight, with Palm-Toft nowhere near what Danny would score, Kevin Juul Pedersen never even been to Foxhall before and Jason struggling a bit at the moment. The other three will need to hit big double figure scores. I hope I'm wrong but just can't see a Witches victory, but I will be there to cheer them on

If Douglas rides can only see a Leicester victory. Poor choice getting in Palm-Toft, Oscar Berwick would have more chance of scoring some points😀

Ouch will now claim that Doyle is one of Belle Vue’s boys where everyone else knows that riders are no longer owned by clubs and ride for who they want to each season.

I think Tom puts too much pressure on himself, he seems to beat himself up after a bad ride. He just needs to get back to having fun on the bike and hopefully the points will flow again

It was announced on Thursday to bring back Doyle would mean 3 changes, who the three changes are we don't know but then you have to find another two riders to bring in along with Doyle. Easier said than done and would it make us stronger?'

I brought all the qualifiers and final on FIM-MOTO.TV and cant even access the Glasgow round as it states I need the 2025 season pass even though it's 2026. Watched the other two okay so even the official site has cocked it up

Sorry but there’s more important things for the council to spend money than on a parade for coming second. It’s not as if the council will get any of the £150 million, that is going to the football club and them only. I’m not taking anything away from them getting promoted but it doesn’t warrant a parade

Can’t believe they are having a parade, yes they got promoted but it’s not as if they won the league

I did think about Tai, as the rumours were he was going to Ipswich and we were getting a gp star, but maybe the promotors agreed it would be better for him to go Northampton

Jordan Jenkins isn't a rising star so can't use him as a no 7

No one predicted Peterborough to win it a few seasons ago, it only takes a few injuries to other teams (not that I want any riders to get injured)
