The club have just made a statement where Damien Bates has called for the public to keep spreading the word about speedway after last Thursday's home fixture was 'run at a significant loss.' Not good.

The art of a good commentator is to know what to say and when to keep quiet based on whether they are on the tv or the radio. For television, you don't need to explain absolutely everything as people can see it for themselves. For radio, a continual description is needed. For a phrase, one that Olly Allen has used quite a few times this year when conditions has been wet (and others have used it as well) is "He's been filled in..." We know it's to do with the dirt, but it can have other meanings! 😉

He isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I love him and he’ll always be my favourite speedway rider. Charisma, personality to burn, controversial, outspoken…everything speedway needs and is sadly lacking in the Grand Prix at the moment. His absence in the current series is a huge void they will struggle to fill. Most important of all though, he was bloody quick on a speedway bike and is our greatest ever rider. While I’m gutted I’ll never see him race again, I’m happy he has retired safe and sound and on his own terms. His body has cried enough and he at least seems at peace with his decision. He can now spend time with his wonderful family and make a name for himself on the DJ scene. Thanks for the memories Tai, we’re going to miss you. ❤️

What the hell is the ref playing at?! How was Jenkins excluded there?!! Ridiculous decision.

He means business. He’s at the Houses of Parliament today discussing speedway.

I agree. But the Polish cartel has bigger teeth...

This has a different feel with Wroclaw involved. Forward thinking promoters, especially the Facennas at Glasgow for example, will want in on this. This won’t stop here. And I can see other Polish clubs wanting in too and they won’t be doing this for it to be a failure.

This. Is. Huge. It will benefit not only Ipswich but British Speedway as a whole. There is no way Wroclaw would get involved without looking to the future and improving the product here. And it wouldn’t surprise me to see this as a model going forward for other clubs. Could even encourage a couple of Championship teams (we all know who) to come up to the Premiership if investment is forthcoming from potential tie-ups. Coleman wants to improve the sport in this country and this is just the start. There’ll be a few people within the sport who are set in their ways and want to continue along the current ‘tried and tested’ route who won’t be looking favourably at this and will be glancing over their shoulders. Change is coming. And for the better.

It’s much more than an arm injury. At least a leg injury too. Gorzow yet to put out a statement which hasn’t gone down well with their fans. They aren’t happy.

Appears Max Fricke has agreed to join Bydgoszcz for '27 if they get promoted.

Well, at least they have listened to allow cash and card on the night. Just need to get things sorted on track now.

Still spouting rubbish I see. Bet you'll be struggling to see this through your tears...your hero has gone and good riddance. Going to change your profile pic?!

I meant he’ll be back this season where originally most of us thought season done.

Was pulling wheelies on a mountain bike on Friday. I think he’ll be back on the shale quicker than most of us thought he would.

Some Polish sources saying season done.

Ridiculous comment. Your profile pic says everything about you. Only one ‘chump’ round here…and that’s being kind.

That pr*ck continues to be full of himself. I saw his quote where he said he was at the British GP and had plenty of support and people coming up to him saying they were looking forward to seeing him back. Jackanory, Jackanory...

Well, I did say... Hopefully whatever issues Craig has he can overcome in the long term.

Absolutely ridiculous take…🤦🏻‍♂️

I agree that Cairns did not 'torpedo' Ace, but he did knock him down and deserved the exclusion. I thought Ace's reaction was a bit over the top. I think it was more down to the fact that he didn't win the title on his home track. Got out-gated and frustration boiled over once he bit the dirt. Will is certainly a marmite character, of that there's no doubt.

Australia is on its way...

Already left. He had to. The full truth comes out tonight...going to be explosive. He'll soon be staring at four walls and making sure he doesn't drop the soap! In the words of Clinton Baptiste: "I'm getting the word....nonce."

Class from Cooper, especially in the final. Been telling anyone who’ll listen since the start of last year that he is the real deal and this trophy is just the start.

He doesn’t look well. I can imagine that the loss of his father has had a big effect, especially given he was his carer for a number of years up until Brian’s passing.

That would be all kinds of mega. The only rider that is just as spectacular around the NSS as the Ginger Ninjas. Mark Lemon would need to rob a bank though... 😉
