I might bed Sydney Sweeney as well.

Not sure what Louis is talking about here! “Michelson laid the bike down” erm, no he didn’t Chris he was clattered in to and knocked off!

The “couple” of strange results was involving Leicester not picking up points expected to change the overall table involving the finishing order of all fours clubs, not just Ipswich and Sheffield. Belle Vue could still finish third but it would take some strange results for that to happen.

Of course, I meant in terms of the result not the racing. The result simply doesn’t matter here in the scheme of things. But I hope there’s some good racing for you and those that attend.

Matters little now, almost certainly going to finish Ipswich top, Sheffield second so this result is pretty irrelevant. Order of the day will be to make sure nobody does anything silly with the play offs less than a fortnight away.. In fact, it’ll take a couple of really strange results for the table not to finish Ipswich, Sheffield, Leicester, Belle Vue. Ipswich v Belle Vue Leicester v Sheffield.

Definitely at Foxhall, not so much away. Ellis comfortably better than Dan at Foxhall, Dan comfortably better than Ellis away so probably evens itself out over two legged meetings.

Difficult to disagree with any of that. Let’s have the same system in the Gp’s as well. If Kurtz end up top of the pile after Vojens, I’m afraid he isn’t world speedway “champion”! The top eight simply then enter two semi’s and then the final, to see who becomes world speedway champion in a winner takes all final..

That makes absolutely no sense. If it was top team wins the title without the play offs, it would STILL be a meaningless fixture! In fact, there would have been several meaningless fixtures an awful lot sooner if it wasn’t for the play offs. There was a kings Lynn fan still not giving up hope of qualifying as soon as a fortnight ago. They would have had to have given up the dream literally months ago if it was simply top team wins the title.

They do. They’re contractually obliged to show each team a minimum number of times (football). Of course some teams will be shown more than others. Speedway is the same, each track has to show a minimum number of fixtures.

Hopefully Ellis is ok. We’ll find out when the Sheffield preview drops on Tuesday. If he ends up missing the play offs, then Rew has to come in to the equation surely? Average fits, and he still feels like a Witches rider so more palatable than someone else. After a slow first half of the season, he’s ridden in to good form the last third of the season also.

They’ve been experimenting with different track conditions the last month or so, trying to find a track that suits everyone. Thursday was far too slick to be honest and there wasn’t a lot of grip out there. Heat 15 a perfect example. Brennan was clearly quicker than Lawson out front and was throwing everything he could at him, going inside and out but just couldn’t find enough to get past. Brennan is riding himself in to good form at just the right time. Looked quick Thursday.

Both our top two are having a stinker of a year by their high standards (tbf to Doyle he’s been bashed around again this year). Both averaging over a point less than they did last year. And we’ll still finish top. Shows the strength of the side. If they’d been averaging similar to what they have the last couple of years it would be a completely no contest.

Would Belle Vue prefer to Face Ipswich in the semi, or one of either Leicester or Sheffield? Because if they’d rather avoid another trip to Foxhall and hope they get dumped out in the semi, then it’s best to have an “ off day” here and let Sheffield win to help them finish top. Edit: wrong thread I guess. @Col you need to edit the header to Birmingham v Leicester

The win here means if Sheffield fail to beat Belle Vue at the NSS, we’ll finish top if we beat Sheffield at home, even losing the away leg AND the bonus to Sheffield.

Don’t waste your breath (or fingers)

Get back in your box ffs after the dross your lot served up for donkeys years until you were lucky enough to have the council build your super track 🙄

“Occasions” is selective. Look at his home average last year. Yes, he’s struggled everywhere this year in UK, until he’s found his USUAL Foxhall form in recent weeks. Let’s not pretend he’s not a miss here tonight telly 🙄

They’re good here, they ain’t your lot who are bloody useless 🙄

Huge blow at Foxhall that especially with how poor Dan has been at home lately . His away performances have generally been poor, but we know he can get double figures regularly at home. Hopefully it isn’t too serious and a season ender..

He will. That’s why he’s moved Emil to three this week so him and King can ride together. They’ll be partnered at 1 and 2 for the playoffs

Superb memories loved the British final at Coventry. Right up there with the Fours at Peterborough. Two of the best days out they were.

Dan’s been struggling at Foxhall in recent weeks and said last night when interviewed the track conditions haven’t suited him and he’s been struggling with them. Luckily for him his opposite number this week is Ben Cook! Lynn to again make a decent fist of it, they have some good Foxhall riders (other than Cook).
