From what I was told earlier today I believe Mr Tolley’s involvement at a club in 2026 will be a bit closer to his Midlands base

Congrats Leicester they won on aggregate and that’s all the record books will show, Sheffield lost it in heats 13 & 15 with the heat leaders not turning up. Hopefully Leicester go on and win the final now. ABI

Will Nick Morris still be guesting for Redcar, took a helluva fall last night and looked very uneasy getting back to his pit bay?

Good job Kyle Howarth turned up or it’d have been a mauling! As for Klindt absolute disgrace.

Lemon too faithful to Tate, should have been binned well before his average plummeted to 3 points

52-38 to Belle Vue, Aces top two will be backed up well by Lidsey and Cook. Don’t think Emil and Doyle will pick up many wins but should get a decent haul, will be reliant on King and Brennan as Ellis has not done well at NSS apart from the season he won British Final.

Mustn’t need the time to commercially promote the play off’s this season 😜

This postponement means tomorrow’s meeting at Ipswich is a waste it time, other than to work on the averages as deadline for league meeting points (and bonus point) will have been and gone by time this gets rearranged

Ellis is supposed to ride for Fjelsted also on Wednesday providing his knee held up after Gniezno meeting yesterday

Not unless he’s in a team where he can stay at number 6 all season, juts can’t cut it in main body of the team

Interesting that the British Speedway website still hasn’t updated the latest team declarations to include the Sheffield changes, they usually update on same day of the announcement, surely Sheffield wouldn’t announce signings that didn’t fit within the points limit allowed??

Double post

Personally think this is two good changes and were needed. Sedgmen has struggled all season at home his last two performances there were shocking. As for Kerr we’ve seen again that when not at the number 6 reserve more times than not he doesn’t score his average (that 16 at King’s Lynn has given him a bit of an artificially high average). For the two new signings Etheridge was on the Sheffield radar for a 2024 team spot following his Play Off final performance at Owlerton but points wouldn’t fit him in, he’ll definitely score more than Sedgmen at home, away just depends what tracks Sheffield have left to visit. Morris has to be race rusty, hopefully he’s managed to get some new kit under him, if he can pick up 6-8 points from 4 rides home and away don’t think much more can be asked for

Noticed again tonight Klindt not ready to race on more than one occasion when the clock hits 00:00, what’s the point of the 2 minute clock if the referee doesn’t use it?

Sedgmen, Kerr and possibly Rowe should be grateful there’s not an influx of riders wanting ride in the UK, another week if them having inept performances around Owlerton

Dodged a bullet by missing another one at Owlerton and watching the abysmal TNT broadcast instead. The track prep over the last couple of years from Trollope has got worse each week, does he actually listen to what the club/riders ask or go on his own merry way? Big applause though for Flint, takes some doing for a Rising Star to go through the card with a 5 ride paid maximum

I’d say Douglas definitely helped his average decrease last night especially going through the motions in ht15, prior to last night he was 0.01 above Becker. Can see some tactical positioning by the Lions on Monday to keep only Fricke above Becker’s average

I arrived late but didn’t hear him mention the change of use at Owlerton but did say that a) Tolley would not be part of Sheffield promotion in 2026 b) Bellego rumour as coming back was not true

Why don’t King’s Lynn be open and honest with their fans and just say he has a 28 day ban (coincides with mid August return) rather than spouting nonsense about tracks and surfaces.

You have to be jestin Phil that Bellego is coming back, he struggled around every away track bar the NSS!

The first leg date for the KO Cup Final has always been pencilled in for Monday 28th July (second leg 31st July) but Polish Ekstraliga have just announced a fixture update with Częstochowa v Tourn now scheduled for 28th July. I know the semi final second leg hasn’t been run yet but sure Ipswich wouldn’t want to be without Doyle and Emil or King’s Lynn be without Kvech. Another one of Poland stamping their feet to show who is boss??

The Douglas/Howarth combination might have to swap around who wins races and who settles for second (with bonus point) as Douglas now has a roller more than Becker which will throw a spanner in the R/R route they have been going down

Was it announced last night then who is buying the Bates’ out at Sheffield at end of season?

Taps watch waiting for announcement of Cook dropping again 🙈

If you listen to Jason on the last weeks ‘Round the Boards’ podcast he says he’s free to ride anywhere in Premiership as not declared in the Birmingham team, but was hoping once fit would redeclare with him back in the RS slot, obviously Birmingham haven’t done that or weren’t told in time that he was fit to ride tonight
