I’ll wait for you to hear ! 😂

I guess Brennan will be taking a ride at No.1 again tonight!

Pawlicki is still of interest to Stal, it was mentioned today that they favour the movement of removing Pollestad to Torun, Stal will then have the loaned out asset of Nagel back to their team with ideally Pawlicki strengthening the team with Holder and Anders.

Two points. Firstly - if they got injury for doubling up in their championship contracted club or other league or even SGP, so be it, because that is also their signed contractual obligations. What they do as guests is basically moonlighting and risking their actual clubs chances of a good season. Secondly - The comparison with football, although not directly the same, is relevant. That sport houses your players and your loyal fan base. These riders are for all intents and purposes your riders, they cannot ride against their second team be it in the championship or another league abroad as no European cups exist in speedway, therefore cannot directly impact ruining their actual clubs chances of a league position… when you introduce guest riders, that changes everything.

I wonder if they wish they could have got Beau after this weekend’s performance!

Fair play Northampton, their management is doing a better job than us witches at the moment and I mean that. Good race nights, good team building, taking action on replacing riders when they can. We could learn a thing or two from over there. I really hope Northampton don’t finish bottom! I said Ellis should have replaced Lawson for us, we won’t win anything anyway, so at least give us a good team spirit and get people enjoying coming to Ipswich instead of sitting in the pits next to that moody bastard Lawson.

Yeah and this point is exactly why you can’t be a die hard speedway fans in the UK. Lynn and Sheffield are battling to be in the playoffs offs with Ipswich. So what happens… 2 Ipswich riders are in this match, that doesn’t make this sport attractive to fans. Riders, and rightly so, take guest bookings for money. But fans can’t support a league that has not loyalty to their club and is more like a merry-go-round. I’m so no bothered about Ipswich this season, I go to every home match but I’m certainly not invested in it as I would be to say football where it’s actually your club and players. If either Edwards or Lawson gets injured tonight, then a meeting that has nothing to do with their contracted club has just finished the season for their contracted club.

7 GPs and 7 winners. People will realise next year that we are blessed this year to actually have the best riders of this generation all in the Grand Prix (apart from Nazar) but minus the Russians. Anybody can turn up and win this year, I would have happily seen this line up (official line up) go again next season.

TNT just missed heat 5 start and 2 laps. That is so unprofessional it’s embarrassing.

Why can’t Tatum get his head around Pawlicki is actually pronounced Pavlicski 🤦🏼

Bewley due back in August according to Wroclaw.

I wrote it on the Ipswich witches 2026 thread.

“Tom is struggling at number one and when he is struggling and sole searching it’s hard and you end up as 7 individuals not a team, and once that happens it’s not a good atmosphere and the fun goes”

Congratulations to Leicester! Simply put… the best team won! All the best and I hope you do the double, we won’t make the playoff final so I wish you all the best!

By this point im surprised you’re surprised 😂 this is basic crap from him and management allowing him. To say I’m almost done with this team is an understatement. Scott’s interview tells all.

Everyone needs to manage expectations with this witches team. Remember, we only beat Kings Lynn and Northampton to make this final.

Nothing really to write home about tonight. Brennan still struggling, Lawson still not a team player and pushing Edwards into the fence and somehow we managed to draw it. Story of our season so far, nearly, but not quite. Belle Vue if we finish fourth will put us out in the play off semis. Well to be fair, any team right now puts us out of the play offs. Still… could be worse… we could be Lynn!

Qualify top 7 you mean? If Lambert, Woryna, MJJ and Lebedevs get top 7 this season in SGP then Jakobsen and Harris are automatically qualified into 2027 SGP.

Harris still might get in! Woryna, Lambert, MJJ and Lebedevs all top 7 finishers… never say never!

I don’t think he is committed to ride for Ipswich either 😂

Lawson has been kicked from his Polish club, Kraków for poor performance. Although Lawson tried to get the news out first on his social media page that he chose to leave the club, but, in fact, it was actually the club who have let him go… according the Krakow President.

That was the most enjoyable all round SGP from race 1 to race 23 I’ve watched in a while and to have Anders win and do his celebration in boxers just made it that much better. You need some fun in sport and he brought it! Special mention to Richard who told him to do it 👏🏻

Do you mean host? I’m sure Mayfield will be the ones arranging it and promoting it. Either way, it needs to move somewhere else. I don’t like the stadium at Malilla… it’s in the middle of nowhere and never gets a full capacity these days.

I think I’m at the point with speedway now where I don’t care about home advantage. I think the best possible track prep for overtaking should be undertaken for each race. I would rather see multiple overtakes and great racing than gate and go and the home team wins. If you are a good enough team you should be able to win on whatever track if it’s prepared correctly and for racing.

2027 news: Stal are making serious enquiries to bring in Tobiasz Musielak for next season, this will be his first full time line up in the Ekstraliga for 8 years.
