Anyone see Pickering still not celebrating when it cut to the team in the stands 😂 bitter about cook move.

So has Brennan surely!

Only caught the meeting since heat 9 but been amazing from what I’ve seen and constant overtakes! I had thoughts on Leszno being promoted with the win so shocked when it was them 16 behind!

I copy and pasted what was suggested, I onto read the comments from others and left it at that. Foxhall isn’t that bad and I live 1 km away from the track and they operate many weekends, outside in the garden yes it can be heard but the speedway isn’t half as loud as 20 cars at the same time. People just don’t like change and that’s fact, same as when people say happy for people to come to the country, then ask them to take one in their house and it’s a closed subject.

Where can you find the line up?

It’s Lublin who don’t have the money to continue to pay the riders too. I’ve posted before that the Polish cities give money to speedway / football and Lublin football is doing better so is getting a bigger split and Lublin were never going to keep spending crazy money every year (much like Man city). Kubera is leaving for more money at Falubaz and to be out of Zmarzlik’s shadow. Holder leaving for Gorzow, if they stay up! - this is almost a swap for Vaculik who was on big money in Gorzow but they didn’t offer him another contract the same money so he looked elsewhere. Przyjemski is highly likely going back to his home club Bydgoszcz. Also remember rules are looking to change for 2026 in Polish Zuzel for that both juniors do not have to be Polish but you must have 4 Polish riders in total, so everyone is moving clubs to suit the rules.

Just registered my support for Swindon Speedway! Good luck! Moreover, I read some of the comments that object and there are some right tools in this world aren’t there 😂 someone wrote, the practise sessions will be loud and noise pollution, hmmm when did England have practise sessions 😂 someone else wrote the travellers site will be impacted… are we actually putting travellers before locals who want to see speedway… they are travellers… they can 1. Travel somewhere else. 2. Choose to live in a house and stop avoiding council tax. These must be the same numptys that say if you are against immigration you are racist 😂

Details from Stal if anyone wishes to read: After losing two matches to Krono-Plast Wtokniarz, the shareholders of Gezet Stali Gorzów considered putting the club into bankruptcy. In the end, this did not happen, but other clubs have already become interested in the biggest stars of Steel. Jack Holder, Anders Thomsen, Oskar Paluch, and even Pawet Przedpetski, are fasty bites. Unofficially, we know that it will not be easy to them from Gorzów. The relevant provisions in the contracts strongly bind the hands of the players. And here comes the problem. Unofficially, we know that Holder, Przedpetski and Thomsen will not be easy to from Stal. And you certainly can't get it out for free. After the match with Wtokniarz, there was no feta and announcement of the extension of the contract with Thomsen, but we know that the Dane signed a pre-contract for 2026. And there is no possibility that he would break it on one side. The situation of Holder and Przedpetski is identical. Holder has a lucrative contract (1.1 million zlotys for signature and 11 thousand zlotys per point plus sponsorship allowances) and a powerful commitment in case of desire to break this contract. If now Holder decided that he wanted to part with Stala, he would have to pay half a million zlotys to the club. Holder could only leave for free if Stal fell out of the Extraliga. Such a clause is also in his contract. The same solution was used in the case of Przedpetski. He would also have to pay half a million to leave the extra-league Stal. For him, as for Holder, the only chance for a free-free termination of the contract would be an inheritance. Someone will say that there is no drama, because if Stal falls in a month, all three will be able to leave for free. It's not that simple. Thomsen has no clause at all allowing him to leave. On the other hand, Holder and Przedpetski may not get the offers they can currently count on in a month. In a month, the number of volunteers will decrease. Both of them, signing papers with Stal, hoped that the season would end in the two-match match with Wtókniarz. The worst for the players, however, is the prospect of riding in a club around which it is hot again. It seemed that Steel had the worst behind it. On the one hand, the reduction of debt from 13 (that was the autumn of 2024) to 4 million is a success, but on the other hand, this financial hump is still there. And it is not known if this will not affect the liquidity in 2026.

Nah fajfer is good for about 5 points normally on a good day! I don’t think even this match is done and dusted, Stal have really managed some strange results good and bad! I think it’s set to be Stal vs Bydgoszcz personally. Knowing my luck, Brennan to score 0 for Ipswich vs Belle Vue and knock us out, then max out against Stal and knock my Polish team out 😂

Anyone interested, Fajfer scored 7 points from his rides

Drabik engine was assembled incorrectly and now has broken and leaking oil so he has had to change bikes.

Take a bow Bubba and welcome to Ekstraliga 👌🏻

How are you feeling if you are Fajfer and watching this 👀

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.
