4 Teams are evenly matched I'd say looking at results. Lynn are hit and miss but a full 1-7 is a solid team. Brummies' and Oxford just can't hit any consistency. Agree with the comment about promoters though! Nobody promotes anything. a few social media posts is classed as good promoting these days. Maybe Ipswich getting Jenkins or Thompson to visit a few schools or some flyers around the town would slightly raise awareness for Ipswich!

Nobody would turn up for £30. If you think British speedway premiership is worth £30 you're dreaming. It doesn't have even half the superstars Poland has yet you can pick up a ticket in Poland for £13 for Ektraliga, with top quality stadia and everything that goes with it.

The proof will be in the pudding if this one league happens and still no promotion takes place which we all know it won't, so lets see how many fans turn up to Foxhall without Doyle and Emil and how many turn up to NSS without Kurtz and Bewley, bear in mind half the Belle Vue don't turn up now for their stated 'qualifiers'.

Any twit knows you don't need 5 or 6 million to promote something right. If you are spending 5 or 6 million to promote British speedway I'd say the problem is you and not the sport.

Only one stat that matters... and that reads Ipswich Witches top of the league. So we are better than you in the league and in the cup. Also, some of those stats stated above were probably pulled from last year when we never had a full 1-7. Although, I do expect tomorrow night to be a good encounter!

How are you going to race on nights that suit you if you can't get the riders to race that night? People need to understand you can't just think making one league is the magic wand and everyone comes running back into the stadiums. Make one league all you want, but bugger all will happen because nobody in Britain will know about it anyway. You need to get the promotion correct first.

I would suggest that this season is only 5 teams anyway. Oxford and Birmingham totally out of the running for play offs and they have nothing to play for as there isn't relegation in British speedway, therefore, their last matches are nothing to play for which is again a joke within the sport. At least with relegation they would still need to try and pick up points. The whole system is flawed I would say!

No to one league. It isn’t going to work. Riders won’t be available or enough of them, certain race nights for better crowds but other track can only be used during the week because of stock cars. You won’t have part time riders who will have to choose work around race days / nights. They just need to improve their promotion of this current set up and ACTUALLY promote it properly and add a class of professionalism to the way it’s run. Watching John down the road who has a speedway bike at foxhall on a Thursday night for £20 vs watching Emil Doyle Brennan etc for £24 isn’t a step forward.

Do they not have people sitting in the restaurant as well though ?

It was a poor decision and he knows it, however it was a split second decision. Magic made a mistake and slowed up Emil coming out of the bend, Doyle carried a lot of speed running higher in the dirt line and soon as he straightened up you could see he had a lot of speed and with Emil moving over to give magic room, Doyle had to either get off the throttle completely (which could have been deemed the right decision) or cut back to the inside line to avoid hitting Emil on the straight. I think soon as Doyle came into the corner he thought magic and Emil had more speed and would drift out but they clamped down tight and Doyle just had to try and make the best of a bad judgement call. It was all made from the exit of the bend beforehand, people making out like he just completely dive bombed it which isn’t the case.

Yeah that’s fair. Statistically though, Ipswich are the best team in Britain being top of the league. We tried a power house of Doyle and Emil before and it only got us so far, now we have a well round team so we are the best team… statistically.

Ipswich should have enough to see this over the line, although Emil and Doyle will be in the shadow of Kurtz and Bewley as apparently by Mark Lemon "We now have the best spearhead in British speedway". Good luck with Bewley and Kurtz outscoring Emil and Doyle at Foxhall.

Chris Louis does actually correct Tatum sometimes so he does help the situation, I think he sometimes feels embarrassed for Tatum and doesn’t want to constantly correct him.

Vinnie got 11 tonight in NDT for Kent.

Emil must feel like he really carries this team sometimes ! Last year had to step up a lot and again tonight all eyes on him for a second. I think Emil is a Ipswich legend and I’m calling it now 😁👌🏻😂
