The whole idea of the play offs is to build the season to a crescendo and far too often recently it builds to frustration and ultimately chaos without the firm scheduling of Tv contracts to work to. It's time to abandon play offs unfortunately for anything other than the top league where Tv demands it

Just been reading updates... Oh dear Leicester bringing the sport into disrepute again.

For a few matches at least! Then he'll disappear

I've just asked ChatGPT who would win the Jubilee Trophy... and it just laughed at me

... Send it to the Tower!

Should have switched it to Leicester. It's been a glorious couple of days here! The track would have been perfect

Doesn't leave much time for the 2nd leg

This competition is now about as worthy winning as the Hokey-Cokey Cup that Coventry and Peterborough contested a few years back or the We'll meet again trophy that was ridden for at Wolves last night!

Absolutely, I accept that I live with several tracks on my doorstep, all pretty easy to get to by car, especially Leicester. If 3rd tier Speedway was my only real choice, then I suspect I would probably give it more of a chance

I'm generally not a fan of the NDL and personally it's not something I would pay to watch (not at the current price), maybe because of the word Development being used, as it seems to be a bit of a haven for some riders to fill their calendar. But you do make a compelling case for it to continue

Just seen this on TwitterX: https://x.com/zmarzlik95/status/1715322977917546561?s=20 Looks like Bartek is on some kind of Orlen promotional day with Robert Kubica... the daft thing is though is he's wearing his "Infinite Reality" SGP race suit and not his "Orlen" one he got thrown out of the Danish GP for!!! Hope he doesn't lose his Orlen sponsorship over this one

What a 5h1t show

I remember Jens Rassmusen getting done for the same offence at Sheffield back in the late 80's/ early 90's

Leicester fans sh@t on again in a final dismissive gesture by the so called promotion... back to Sheffield and good riddance to them

That may well have been the case, I live 1 and a half miles from the track and although it came over dark there was no rain. That's not to say there wasn't any at the track... but if the track had been covered on the Friday during the whole day of rain we had, there really shouldn't have been any problem at all starting this match

I really don't know about the drainage but I do know that drying conditions in October ain't what they are earlier in the year with hours of daylight and the strength of the sun etc. There was a lot of rain in Friday and if that's stuck in the shale without those summertime drying conditions it's always going to take longer to dry out

You know we put a man on the moon (allegedly) over 50 years ago. Don't come on here with problems, come with solutions

October ain't all bad... i was at Peterborough last Saturday night after it had been 23 degrees and fine all day. I will be going to Scunny this afternoon to watch the Cup Final as a neutral, I'll be going to see the Olimpique tomorrow. I have seen many decent matches in October and also some rain effected ones... as I have in every other month of the Speedway season. Speaking as a fan of a team whose season was over at the end of August I do not want the whole season to be over by then. Leicester f***ed up yesterday and they need calling out for it but to say the season should run from April to August is not the answer. We had a lot of heavy rain on Friday, the answer is track covers to enable matches to take place

Everybody over to Lynn

Hope it's not a double header next Saturday as they can't run them either!

Any team line ups for this? Is it a junior meeting?

It was the obvious question to ask... why are you here?

Take a look at his involvement as Torquay Utd and read about the plans for their stadium and all the pieces start to fall together

Go for it

Absolutely superb from the Glasgow promotion in showing the final in their stadium on their big screen... something that was sadly missing from Leicester last year!
