I think the budgets are slightly different 😂

For anyone wanting to know how Polish media see’s our league 😂 from Thursdays media report in Poland… Takie rzeczy tylko w Anglii. Sheffield Tigers oraz Ipswich Witches rozegrały już swoje półfinałowe spotkania, ale w czwartek zmierzyły się jeszcze w ramach... fazy zasadniczej. Tak właśnie w Premiership odrabia się zaległości. To sprawiło, że Sheffield Tigers, które odpadło w półfinale z Leicester Lions, miało mecz dosłownie o nic na pożegnanie z własnymi kibicami. Z kolei Ipswich Witches, przed którymi jeszcze finał, potraktowało to starcie bardziej jako sparing z wymagającym rywalem. TRANSLATION: Such things only happen in England. Sheffield Tigers and Ipswich Witches have already played their semi-final matches, but on Thursday they faced off again in the... regular season. That's how you make up ground in the Premiership. This meant that Sheffield Tigers, who were eliminated in the semi-finals by Leicester Lions, had a literally meaningless match to say goodbye to their home fans. Meanwhile, Ipswich Witches, who still have the final to play, treated the match more like a friendly against a demanding opponent.

Enjoy the match!

When you write “John Louis would not put up with this” what part is complimentary or respectful for that matter ? Incase you’re a bit slow, his son is running things, so don’t speak like his dad wouldn’t be proud of him and his son’s achievements. It’s really not that difficult to understand. Also, to say I’ve got a chip on my shoulder makes no sense, why would I have a chip in my shoulder over speedway 😂 it’s not that deep.

To speak about John Louis and that he wouldn’t put up with management, riders and fans is such a pathetic comment and you need to wash your mouth out. John Louis loved Ipswich and would love to see Ipswich win as much as it pains you, but get over it. His name is adored in Ipswich and not just amongst speedway fans, he is a legend of the town and will be honoured in the Tigers meeting a week after the final. Why do you think John wouldn’t love Emil (most friendly guy in speedway) King and Doyle (dedicated to the witches), Ellis who he would have a laugh with, Brennan Edwards and Thompson who are bright young British riders which always made him smile.

I think you’re the only one confused from your geography 😂 nobody in Britain would class Middlesborough as South 😂

Some many questions, so little answers. Such is life.

Can I have some of those sour grapes 🍇? 😂😂 - Why do so many people talk about Ipswich fans saying they will win the league when it’s only a select few?

Lublin

Jack Holder has signed a contract whereas if he does decide to go elsewhere he would personally have to pay £100,000 to get out of his contract with Stal. This is the only way Holder can get out of signing for Stal next season, or if Stal gets relegated. His contract is worth £225,000, and £2,100 a point, if he breaks his contract he is ordered to pay half to Stal.

I actually said as soon as Sheffield beat us at Foxhall they will finish top and that the play offs have been picked wrongly once again.

Anyone saying Ipswich hate Sheffield need to pay close attention to this meeting! Ipswich being poor so you have a solid night and finish top of the league thus making Sheffield a very viable business to buy 😁

I’ll wait to hear how Sheffield should have finished top so this play off is a farce.

Jack Holder has already agreed his signature to Stal if they stay up.

Tungate 2026 will ride for Częstochowa

I’ve mentioned at the start of the year that many tuners have refused to help Emil this season in England for some reason, unbeknown to me. It was mentioned in Polish media back in April and he has had a poor season all year in England but good in Poland so it would kind of be in line with the theory. He has had a really up/down season compared to the last two.

I don’t know why you would think Ipswich fans would want you to go under, just because people have strong feelings on matches etc it’s all part of being a fan of a sport. The sport is what holds this community together so anyone would be stupid to want any club to go under whether you love the other club or it’s your rival. Personally, I hope you find a buyer ASAP so you can have sufficient time to plan for next year. Everybody wants strong teams to fight against. Good luck!

My bigger concern is that end of this season his work visa runs out. You can renew it obviously but it’s another thing that makes me question if he will return or not.

I’ve heard Emil is ill. He is sick of Sheffield 😉

Thought you were in hibernation 😂😂😂?

Good line up as well by the looks of group A! Hope the weather holds out and we can show them all the premiership trophy as well 😉

The Polish team manager has a grudge against Magic, Przyjemski will not take part and was added to show that Magic hasn’t got any spot in the Polish National team even over a junior. Przyjemski is still not fully fit and pulled out of Lublin with an issue with his leg, he will take part in the second leg but again will need a lot longer to fully recovery. Pawlicki is still not 100% but is better than any other Polish rider current apart from the stand outs that are Zmarzlik Dudek and Kubera. I could have said probably but reality is unless any major injuries the other two are not in the team plans for the Final. The only difference in the team I wrote is than Dudek will likely take the place of Kubera for the switch.

Well we will come back to this comment on the Saturday and see if I’m right 😉

Polish line up: Zmarzlik Kubera Dudek.

My advice would be for the Thomsen top! If they stay up, he is confirmed for 2026 line up!
