I’m in shock to be honest. Obviously happy but my god.

Rybnik to win both legs. Vaculik signed already for Lublin Lebedevs signed in principle for Falubaz Anders no club currently for 2026. And Gorzow can’t afford to pay the riders for the next four matches unless they stay up. Absolute disaster and circus.

Totally agree it’s strong on paper! Like I said to my partner who is from Gorzow, my issue isn’t with lebedevs, it’s more with how the club has been allowed to be run under the former president which has completely broken them. I would say personally Lebedevs fights more in the races for position than vaculik who looks for safety more often than not.

I agree with you! Although, and I’m being deadly serious, in Poland and all over media there is such thing as “the lebedevs curse” 2 years before - ride for Krosno = down 1 year before - ride for Leszno = down This season - ride for Stal = …

😂! no he actually said to him “I’m sorry I didn’t see you”

Hampel shocked Zielona Góra kicked him out in replacement for Levedevs next season, they didn’t warn him with much time, he was due to ride in 2026 for them but Gorzow warned him of the situation and it has become true. He had an offer from Ostrów but didn’t want to drop a league so has decided to retire.

Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but for me, next year if it’s similar league set up I’d rather see Rew back in the team than Ellis or king.

The only person who said Ipswich would win every meeting was Tatum, nobody else. And he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

My question is, is Brennan at number 5 a big risk? Just seen the line ups and I’m not confident of him in heat 13. Why Doyle is now a number 3 rider I don’t know. Emil takes 1 but Doyle should be 5. Too many movements for the Ipswich rider positions recently has killed all momentum. This could be lost by Monday night for us. Anything bigger than 50-40 and I think it’s done, especially on our current form.

Looking at our next excuse incase we didn’t win probably! Either way… Sheffield rode the track fine. Very concerning how slow Emil and Doyle were in heat 15 as well.

Totally agree with all the above. We are making far too many excuses for my liking as a witches fan. Moaning about weather changing the track, moaning about track prep (our problem not anyone else’s so just on with it) and keep using excuses of changing rider positions. This will come to bite us in the arse, ride your best riders in their best positions and build momentum, don’t keep p!sing about with it and wonder why we lose.

Sometimes… is every-time with Ipswich though. If they don’t do this season with that team then I don’t hold out much hope any other year. Sometimes, people need to just stand up and be counted, and win a title.

It was stated last week Sheffield win both matches and they finish top.

Whilst I agree with what you said in principle, it’s a different feeling when you are at the stadium, paid £24, and the team just doesn’t perform when it is time to shine, same as Lynn knocking us out of the cup, we will get knocked out of play offs if the same team performance arises next week. The passion of the sports fan is what keeps the sport alive, not the casual fan who dips in and out. Speedway is different from stock cars, this is your team, it’s your club, these riders should be riding for your home town and representing it as best they can, in my personal opinion.

Well that is so embarrassing for the Ipswich riders, needing to be beaten away to then decide to turn up at home, if that’s the case they have disrespected all the paying home fans, so I would suggest the above is untrue or there would be many unhapppy fans. Also, Brennan commented that Sheffield were gating better and we have things still to work on for next week. So let’s as Ipswich fans, stop making excuses for them.

Does nobody have an issue this year with it being picked again then? All the comments about the joke of speedway and this one is just being accepted by people 🤦🏼 I’m not being funny but die hard fans accept it as they love the sport… but this ish needs to be stopped if you want to appeal to a wider audience who wouldn’t bother with it again.

Apologies!

Nobody making any comments about how it should have been Sheffield vs Belle Vue next week? Everyone knows Ipswich would have been beaten at Sheffield thus making the league : 1. Sheffield 2. Ipswich 3. Leicester 4. Belle Vue Same circus as last year and same clowns involved.

Let’s see if Ipswich win anything this season. There is a difference between doom and gloom and reality. If you are getting beaten at home then it’s not a good look. If it’s a nothing meeting then don’t expect fans to spend £24 to watch a training match. BS in my opinion. I’m all for Ipswich winning the title and I’d celebrate as much as the next guy, but just because I’m honest in my opinion when it’s against the team as well doesn’t mean it’s doom and gloom. 3 people…Emil, Doyle and Brennan won’t win you a meeting alone, I should know, I’m also a Gorzow fan 😂

I said it months ago but got shot down saying we are amazing at home… yet Leicester Lynn and Sheffield have done very well. We are looking one of the weakest sides in the play offs at the moment I would say. I don’t like the fact all season I hear “we need to all fire on the night and we are unbeatable”. The problem is, we never do, now Thompson is just as unreliable as Ellis and king, Edwards isn’t an improvement. We have a weak reserve pair at the moment.

.

Glad we lost, riders looked uninterested and crowd was dead due to the score at the end. We will be out of the semi finals by Tuesday if we get beat by more than 49-41 Monday night, Thompson doesn’t look like a main body rider, he was struggling at 6 recently before he moved up. King hit and miss like Ellis, all season. Emil and Doyle starting to show inconsistency. And Sheffield would have finished top as they would have taken 3 points at home. So the whole circus act continues into play offs once again

I said it when we lost against Lynn. We are not as strong now as people think. We won’t win the league, we are carrying people at the moment, and you can’t do that and win the league. We don’t even have our ‘foxhall’ advantage recently, we’ve been pretty crap to be fair… compared to the start of the season.

This is the first realistic comment I’ve seen and deffo makes a lot of sense… this could work.

Yes I know it was last week, if that’s the popular opinion then the BSPL should have no option but to move the play offs IMO. A sport that is a comedy show continues to become one when you don’t even finish your official fixtures. That’s why Poland laughs at us, and why we have no large number of fans… it’s nowhere near a professional run sport.
