Ipswich vs Birmingham 24th July
ShanoXtra replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It’s been on and off near the stadium, it’s due to stop at 17:30 and remain dry all night, hopefully a few hours to prep the track will be ok -
I do wonder if this has the thought process of next year in mind, Jenkins will be out of that position due to age right? So somebody needs to be ready to slide into that position… seems like this could be a trial!

It will be so watered down it won’t be worth watching IMO. I want to see the best or a high quality of riders, or if not I’d go to NDL meetings which I don’t. -

Ellis scoring 2 points from 3 rides last night, he is really on a poor run at the moment, he needs a big meeting Thursday in my opinion! Thursday also has a junior meeting after the premiership meeting which will be interesting! -
Touched a nerve much 😂 do your homework as Ipswich was sold out multiple times this year in the premiership. Last season we had over 29,000 average attendance and championship season before was 28,834 average and capacity is 29,673 so your revision needs some updating my friend! Half empty seats at Wembley with hardcore Man City for the cup… and you only have tourists since 2007 who help you fill the stadium, pre 2007 you were in decline. Your highest attendance in 1999 was 33,027 yet Maine rd capacity is 34,026… it wasn’t sold out, if you want to keep going we can. Stick to what you know… I’m not sure what that is but stick to it.

Argh ok that’s a very nice response and appreciate the honesty! Maybe we have crossed paths in Ipswich in the past and not known! Admittedly, I only got into speedway 3 years ago when I met my Polish partner so I’m fast tracked and missed some crucial history of speedway but I’m now an avid fan and always happy to listen and learn from others to gain more knowledge myself! Small world if you are only in stowmarket ! I also am fond of Bydgoszcz as it currently has Brennan from Witches and also Woźniak (who went home to Bydgoszcz) who was really loved at Stal. I would love to see them promoted!

Lublin as a whole is a poor city compared to many in Poland. They basically got promoted and got a lot of backing to buy a dream team which is soon to run out in a few years, especially now motor Lublin football team is doing better than before. I could imagine these fans are similar to Man C fans who are there for the ride but eventually it will go back to normal with smaller money and back down a league in years to come. It’s not a speedway city with rich history and dedicated fans like many others in Poland ie Leszno, ostów, piła, Bydgoszcz etc.

Morning All! Yesterday morning a meeting was held at Stal Gorzów for the future of the club and the 2026 team. These are the decided riders that are wanted by the club for the 2026 line up. These riders have been contacted and finance is now being finalised with the agreement between all parties, if Stal remain in the top league: 9. Jack Holder 10. Piotr Pawlicki 11. Andrzej Lebiediew 12. Jakub Krawczyk (u24) 13. Przemystaw Pawlicki 14. Oskar Paluch 15. Adam Bednar Thomsen prawdopodobnie do Leszna

Is It Finally Time For One League?
ShanoXtra replied to TheSmiler's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
No because Emil doesn’t ride in it does he. That is like saying I don’t want to see the best footballers in the premier league because that’s what the champions league is for. If you love a sport you always want to see the best because in theory they give the best match ups, that’s how sport works. -

Not to be harsh but I didn’t turn up last night to watch Kings Lynn so I wasn’t bothered, kings Lynn were far superior, I was disregarding our other 5 riders. Although Doyle and Emil are another few levels above Klindt and Harris! -

After last night the only riders worth watching were Doyle and Emil, the others were shocking! I want to watch the best riders compete, not a bunch of juniors. If that's your thing, go watch NDL. You say you are fed up of watching the same riders week in and week out but that's the same for Ekstraliga. We only run more fixtures to get more money into the clubs, if you don't want to watch the round 2 of matches then don't, nobody is forcing you. Again, nothing to do with Polish clubs letting riders come to Britain, its due to costs for expenses, having bikes here and mechanics and wanting big money plus the headache of Visas because we left EU making everything in life harder now.
