TTT

Zischke really needs to step up today otherwise it could cost him his team place imo, Struggled again for Worky on Saturday and BV can easily revert back to Mountain/Vuolas. BV have already lost over two legs to Ipswich so another loss over two legs to another play-off team will tell us everything that we need to know.

Coming down for this one. KL do have riders that go well around Foxhall so I wouldn't be surprised if this meeting was to turn out more competitive than predicted.

If Oxford don't win this then they probably won't win a meeting all season.

Two DOUBLES. BELLE VUE -6.0 & OXFORD to Win Hcap TIE @ 8/1 & OXFORD to Win BELLE VUE should be hitting at least 48 at Home to Sheffield imo. If OXFORD can't beat Birmingham's new look team at Home then they won't win a meeting all season.

Will Birmingham even see out the season if MJJ leaves (As rumoured) The crowds would drop off massively.

Are we sure these VISA issues are legit? Birmingham did go public with financial issues in the winter and they do have previous when it comes to reeling the fans in with a pre-season temporary signing.

Ipswich 54 - 36 KL Don't think Ipswich will put up 60+ in this one purely due to it being a daytime meeting where track conditions will be a bit different to normal.

Going off Polish form, Kubera and Michelsen have started the season very well.

Fully agree.

We may lose Birmingham and Sheffield after this year so it's probably going to be 7 Man Teams again with Rob Godfrey's Scunthorpe moving up to save the Premiership. That strikes me as the plan they'd come up with instead of going with 5/6 Man Teams.

We don't try and compete with Polish Speedway though, British Speedway is just biding it's time and seeing out it's final years before the door finally closes, The game has been up for a long time over here and it's just a case of how many more years can we squeeze out of it. Our Sport is Football hence the reason why everything gets thrown at it from Top level Production to Mega TV contracts to a point where no single company can afford to buy all the rights and it gets shared around, Speedway is never going to get money thrown at it again over here because the interest just isn't around for it so it's also going to be a lower end budget sport for TV companies. Not being offensive here but as a collective group the Poles aren't good at any other sport, They have the odd sports Man or Woman doing very well like Robert Lewandowski or Iga Swiatek but that's it so it makes sense for the Pole's to go all in on Speedway hence the reason why Television companies are ready to splash the Zloty's and go all in on Speedway with mega Production and the Sponsors want in too.

Peter's been patient and made excuses for certain riders in his Spires team but tonight he's actually had enough. The Spires should sign Oskar Polis to replace Peter Kildemand for starters.

Simon Lambert saying Rob could've done his job from Spain tonight lol.

Janowski gives it 100%. Kildemand's age has caught up with him, Agree on Tungate and Jepsen Jensen though.

Can't see Kildemand lasting much longer either. Oxford may have a new 1-7 next week imo.

Will KL hit 70 is the question.

At what point does Tungate quit British Speedway? Clearly focused on the Ekstraliga this season because he didn't have any trouble filling his boots with points in the UK last season.

Oxford's only chance of winning a meeting this year is against Birmingham.

New market for this season that they've offered on Polish matches but tonight it's making it's debut in the Premiership lol.

Very likely to have 6 rides, Nothing stands out tonight imo.

Another battering for the Spires imo, Brennan guesting for Cook makes King's Lynn stronger.

Just struggling imo apart from Kvech because the rest are proven points scorers on UK tracks. Not all but a fair share of the Polish/Eastern European riders that we see in Poland are Motorcyclists with no skills and it's the Polish tracks that make them look good only for them to get exposed when asked to use a skill set on a track outside of Poland which leads to fans (Including myself) sometimes questioning their mentality / effort.

Not a two tier Premiership imo, It's just the lower end clubs have HL's who are underperforming at the moment, Things will be a lot more competitive once they finally get dialled in imo. Tungate and Janowski are struggling for the Spires. Musielak is struggling for the Brummies. Kvech is struggling for the Stars.

Giving off 2024 Brady Kurtz vibes where he finally kicked the door in for his breakthrough year.

Agree, Awful gating but he's had the pace to get in the mix and make opponents work for their 3rd places against him.
