I did laugh when 3 riders at the line and Tatum said ‘that’s 75% of the line up’ and Louis said ‘ i see your maths is getting better Kelv’ ….. an awkward silence followed not sure Tatum was that happy with that comment I did notice that Tatum never mentioned what Sheffield needed to get a draw or win when there was a few races left … maybe decided better of it lol

Scunthorpe vs Poole 18.07.2025

Heat 13 is designed to have the best 2 riders in it … Doyle Emil Kurtz Bewley Holder Holder Fricke Masters Heat 15 is nominated hence the title …. I think if you are 20 points up going into heat 15 then why risk your best riders -

You aren’t understanding what I mean Nobody wants to see a rider injured of course not Personally if the points are safe I don’t care who rides heat 15 I don’t want anyone injured but if I had the choice of Emil missing for a month or Ellis or the rising star for example then you wouldn’t want your best rider out Ipswich earlier this season had Doyle and Thompson injured and struggled hugely I’m not in the camp that heat 15 has to be your 2 best riders on the night If Belle Vue had Kurtz injured in a heat 15 when the match was already secure then I’m sure Belle Vue fans will wish he hadn’t rode -

No if the meeting is won and bonus point is won them you don’t put your best riders in heat 15 The other week against Belle Vue we used Danny King and was so good seeing him beat Kurtz and Bewley Let’s hope you aren’t way ahead in a meeting and still use Lawson and then he gets injured in a race he doesn’t need to be in -

Another stupid comment why risk your best riders in a meaningless race? -
How lol Not all tracks are like Belle Vue..no arguments that it is the best race track in the UK because of course it is However the UK doesn’t have any track like the NSS…. This means the Belle Vue team has to be able to adapt to riding elsewhere My team Ipswich for many seasons have been awful at the NSS…. What they have to do is adapt and learn to ride the place better The poster put that Belle Vue may struggle because Oxford can be a gaters track … that’s correct so the Belle Vue team need to learn how to gate better because Belle Vues 1-7 is better than Oxford I’m not saying the racing is better at Oxford than Belle Vue of course it’s not … Many teams struggle at the NSS to get the right set up to be as fast as the home guys …. Nothing wrong with Belle Vue going to other tracks and struggling to get the right set up for a smaller track If you think it’s trolling to say that tonight Belle Vue need to gate better because the options to overtake are limited compared to Belle Vues track then that’s your opinion

Kurtz and Lidsey are great gaters Perhaps your riders should learn to gate better rather than just rely on a big open track to ride on

That is one awful awful track to watch speedway on Im guessing Poole fans are happy with Kerr again…. Never known a set of fans who go from wanting riders sacked to lauding them … fickle

The win was not gifted King’s Lynn deserved it Set the track up to suit the gaters Lawson Klindt and Kvech and sacrifice Harris a bit…. Lynn trapped to the first corner and race was over … that’s what home track advantage is all about you set the track up for your riders nothing wrong with that and Ipswich had no answers to the starting of Lynn I fully expect the cup match to be tough but we should win … r/r for Iversen and Kerr for Cook means Lynn are strengthened …. Kvech will have 6 rides and Klindt 7 and if these 2 are trapping could be difficult
