You often come with false news. I wrote before that they are riding next year. Let’s see who actually has facts.

Think I’d rather see Rew and Ellis both than Musielak

Rushen Sayfutdinov 🚀✍🏼😆

Nice to see British speedway recognising how brilliant the Ipswich vs Leicester meeting was produced and fan turn out, to remove the British Final Race (which was the best race in years) from the official British speedway homepage and replace it with the Witches winning the title and making it look very professional is a nice touch and shows the sport moving in the right direction, I think all fans who attended that meeting can attest to how amazing the atmosphere was and how the celebrations on the centre green was the perfect finish to the season and also to show how it can/should be done.

Jenkins won’t be back at Ipswich next year I doubt, potentially not Emil either but we will see. Chris Harris already signed a contract so clearly he knows what the crack is about the leagues and it isn’t one big one!

It wasn’t awarded though

Yeah when his wheel went up there was a sudden inhale of breath from the “shed” stand I was sitting in, how he continued I don’t know, but even more impressive is that he still tried to hunt down the leader and it didn’t phase him! The way he rides and finds lines was far superior than any of the other riders and he wasn’t scared to throw it outside or inside when others held back. I’ve watched him for a fair few years and I’ve always rated him higher that Cairns

The guys who are high 30’s in age must be breathing a sigh of relief that they don’t have to worry about the future of speedway! Speedway in Poland over the next few years will start to decline due to riders rinsing the clubs for money and it’s finally showing that clubs can’t sustain it. I heard one U24 rider wanted 1 million zloty to sign for stal, not naming anyone direct, but stal quickly said this shows the mindset of riders and what they think they can demand, and no the rider in question wasn’t someone worthy of 1 million zloty!

Tai’s story is being sold with SGP not British speedway next year 😉

How you including Rushen in the championship level riders? He doesn’t ride in the championship 😆

If there was one league these guys would be the heat leaders 😂!

The meeting was abandoned due to curfew. The pairs race does not officially stand, although Kev on the centre green said Ipswich will recognise the result. Cooper was who most people went tonight to watch let’s be honest and he didn’t disappoint, best moves made by him and best bike control when he almost ended up on the stock car track. To finish 2nd only to a Premiership rider isn’t a bad nights work. I’m sure Mr Louis will have his eye on him. Probably a crowd of 200/300? The back straight stand was almost empty with everyone choosing to stand on bends one and two which is normally underneath the cameras, or in the smaller start line stand, I was there so can’t say how it looked on TV. Ipswich held the best 2025 crowd last week (including Manchester SGP), tonight was more like our equivalent crowd for SoN 😂

Another reason why Ipswich is well run, all riders very social with the fans and will stop and chat and take photos after meetings, not just in the van and go. Even Doyle and Emil who are too boys give a lot of time to fans. When Ipswich won the title I would bet if you speak to a lot of fans it was so positive because it’s like a family club and everyone has time for each other, win together and lose together.

The team I posted is the rider order.

Gorzow city have agreed to become the guarantor of the loan. The club will receive a licence to operate under for the 2026 season as an Ekstraliga team. Official statements will be released in the coming weeks.

Glasgow only recently uprated their air fence to accommodate the FIM they had last year was it? Might even have been this year, I can’t remember. I deffo saw an interview saying they had to pay thousands to update it to comply with regs, Ipswich would be the same. I’ve heard Chris Louis speak on how expensive the FIM uprated air fences are.

The air fence isn’t that’s for sure. I know it’d be a fair few thousand to bring that up to the FIM standard.

But that Poole meeting was already scheduled before he agreed to ride at Foxhall so it makes no sense?

Wonder why will cairns pulled out?

How are people saying Ipswich is hard to get to but Malilia was on the SGP calendar 😂 that’s the worst place I’ve ever visited to get to. Foxhall you can get buses from the town centre and super easy to drive to. The surrounding area is so big you could have a massive car park and the SGP set up (DJ etc) on it, and probably create a better atmosphere than most other stadiums that just have it in a small location near the stadium. Ipswich would be accessible for all of east Anglia and London, and do Manchester for anyone midlands up. The only problem with Ipswich is the stock car track and not a real sense of being right next to the action. Apart from that, I think Thursday night showed how well you can hold an event, even with the pyros. Chris Louis would know how to hold a SGP event that’s for sure! I would say it’s about 1% chance of happening by though as they would have to clear it with locals, and spedeworth and also foot the 6 figure costing to SGP. But… pack out a 10,000 event at £50 a pop and you could make it profitable.

Out of the top two leagues, Leszno had the biggest crowd on any one off night, bigger than even Torun’s Ekstraliga final attendance. Wroclaw had the best average attendance at 13,675 with an impeccable 100% attendance record all season.

Leszno, Częstochowa and Stal to be fighting for relegation and Wroclaw vs Torun for the title. Lublin is very much a weakened team and if Vaculik has the season he had at Stal that’s a big problem, could find themselves fighting just to be in the play offs. I know due to the money situation Stal have decided to go young and try to build a team who will be stronger in a few years, their financial plan is a long term loan to pay back 1 million over 10 years, so this young team will be close to the team year in, year out for a few years. To reduce overheads and to be fair, you may find a few more clubs having internal audits and having issues, it was spoken a few years back that the riders financial demands is exceeding the financial profit of some teams. You only have to see that the night Doyle scored 20 points and made near on 200,000 zloty for Częstochowa, it was a bad night, it was away from home in Wroclaw so they didn’t even get any gate money that night!

It’s an improvement on Ipsh!t which people comment often 😂

Torun would deffo not have a say on whether he rides or not, any rider can choose any league they want, it’s purely down to Emil and how it’s a lot easier to get to Scandinavia from Poland than it is to fly to UK or if he can get another visa.

Although it’s potentially the weakest I’d say it has the option to be the most competitive because it’s more evenly spread. you know why… British speedway is taking over 😉 all this big money coming in 😂 sorry I just woke up from my dream!
