If only it was the semi final

Welcome to pick and mix speedway

🤐🤐🤐😴😴😴

Think most of the fans will be guests as well

Don't think any Glasgow fan wants us to go up but if we do it will be because as you say there might not be many teams left to form a decent championship. Classic case of 'top' division manipulating things for there benefit 😠

Really 🤔 who would have thought it 😱 Have you not read any of the above posts 🙁

Can't help thinking this is proof that our promotional team, despite being awfully nice blokes, have no clout where it matters. Looks as if we are also about to get shafted when it comes to next season. Rumours suggest a 12 team Premiership, racing only on Mondays and Thursdays - probably the existing 8 plus winner of promotion play-off which is likely to be Sheffield plus Lakeside (licence on ice). Have also read that based on geography if nothing else, Ipswich and Peterborough are likely to move up. That leaves Glasgow, Edinburgh (rumours of licence going on ice for a year), Berwick, Newcastle (threat of closure in this weeks Star), Redcar, Scunthorpe (well done for keeping on going despite poor crowds), Leicester, Workington (virtually certain to close) as being contenders for the Championship. So only 8 teams with possibly up to 2 closing or moving down to the NL. The only chance of NL teams moving up would be reducing the points limit/standard of racing and I can't see teams like Eastbourne wanting to travel up to Glasgow and Edinburgh. So whatever happens Glasgow and the other Championship teams will be sacrificed to ensure a few 'superstars' can ride in the UK. Can really see the Facennas chucking it and renting the stadium to anyone daft enough to try and run speedway in a professional manner.

See the Glasgow Supporters Club have had to cancel their bus, then mini bus, to Newcastle due to lack of interest. If it had been held in may when it should have been raced Newcastle would have had 100s travelling down from Glasgow . As they say a lose lose situation

Well done just a month to late. We were meant to play the winners of diamonds comets on 6 may. Quite frankly Glasgow should have been given a bye. As it is all the other teams have been kept waiting and we are running key matches in poor weather and when all the kids are back at school total farce

Congratulations to Sheffield. They finished top and thankfully won the play offs. With the loss of Josh things could have gone pear shaped which would have been a travesty and it's why I dislike using play offs to determine the league champions. Also well done to Simon Stead

At this rate we will have tried to race on every day of the week this season, one other advantage of owning your own stadium. Does nothing for continuity and makes it difficult to get people to come on a regular basis. Just hope the weather plays ball.

As I said on another post when the date was announced a pity that what was meant to be a showcase money spinner and we have to host it on a Tuesday night. Congratulations to Sheffield and hope all riders that crashed are ok

Get well soon dan 😷

I think decent intelligent and won't be bullied sums up justere

Time for the fans riders volunteers and management to all rally round and rattle Sheffield's cage. I'll settle for 100% commitment and may the best team win

😂😂😂

As another poster mentioned they thought they had fixed the problem and so they hadn't warmed up the other bike

Yes you are reading to much into it. He is a belle vue rider riding in the nl championship representing the belle vue Colts. Edinburgh gave him his first opportunity so of course he mentioned them. Bit surprised he didn't mention steve Lawson but he never mentioned his dad either. I'm sure if danny King wins the championship riders meeting representing Ipswich he will thank Leicester 😯

Unlike Gazc, totally disagree about your snide quip about Lawson. Firstly if he hadn't beaten Cook in the fastest time by an opposition rider in heat 1 and won his next two despite being on Aaron's bike in one of them there wouldn't have been a 'pressure situation'. Secondly he was on Ryan macdonalds bike in his forth for goodness sake. Well done Ryan for helping out. So Mr Young away and think of other excuses for the monarchs bottling it at home last Friday

Good to see you take your work seriously

What planet are you on. Do you get commission for every reply to your posts? We're replacing Tom perry an experienced reserve and jack Smith considered good enough to ride for belle vue with Alfie bowtell a keen inexperienced rider and Ryan a nice kid who can't gate for toffee

Sadly the teams in the championship are being manipulated again by the 'top' division. Teams left with the choice of moving up, if asked, or staying and having only a few teams to race against. The next thing will be no loan fees to be paid to championship teams whose asset rides for a Premier team

Don't want to use up bandwidth by repeating your 'away from home' careful analysis but in case its evaded you Richard Lawson 11 at Sheffield, Richie Worrall 4, just saying

Just wonder why his relationship has been on a knife edge for a while now? Any way not bad scoring tonight 14 from 5 and helps knock Swindon out of the Cup. Now if he does that on Tuesday ................

Indeed, you do wonder. Some fans keep mentioning something that happened at Berwick as being the time things started to go pear shaped. If so what did the management and riders do to sort it out. The facennas seem to be decent people but if we don't win the cup and I can't see how we will, there could be a big clear out and I don't just mean riders
