Its my guess the club will want to save money and put up with r/r for 4 weeks until they HAVE to find a replacement ? We did ok with 9 pts from r/r last time.

The more "names" the merrier...

Line up and live updates for SF2, Pardubice, 17.06.2026: https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/1160/fim-sgp3-world-championship-semi-final-2-pardubice.html

"Speedway from the Gods" I think Friday night the racing was better , on Saturday it took a few heats to get going but ended in a Crescendo . One night GP at the NSS would be ideal but financially its not viable with the current capacity of the stadium. The Fanzone has run its course a bit unless it has more substance cannot really see the point , we went in walked round in 5 minutes and came out.

No, do not miss the long journey south , the expensive hotels..etc. I,m past the going out and having too many drinks now.

Think they need to look at the line up for this type of meeting going forward, you had too many young lads there who struggled to turn the bike in the dirt and control the bike to stay on for 4 laps, the gaps between 1st and 4th in some races was around half a lap which just isn’t competitive. Even it’s a case of dropping the u21 title and making it u24 where the more experienced u21 riders (those with Championship places maybe as a minimum) will mix it with those who recently moved on from that age group but are in a bit of no man’s land.

I wouldn't imagine anything. He most likely left because there wasn't a guarantee the Witches would come to tapes in 2026 at the time. Personally if I was a witches fan I'd be happy to see my old number one back in the UK regardless of who it was for

Watched the last SON from the top of the Monster rig situated there... (Thanks Monster Joe, free food and bar for two days!!!).. And seeing the riders fly down the straight, and cut across each other, at full speed, at the last moment on that third turn, is incredible to see...

He’d need to bin off one of Sweden or Denmark first before he can race in UK. But if the money is right I’m sure he’d drop one, the Poles don’t call him ‘Dollar Doyle’ for nothing 💰

We using a guest on sat? Could do with a fast starter!

Where's your commitment to the pilots cause 😜

Imo cairns seems to think he is a lot better than he is, if he gates will win, but if he misses the gate he struggles to pass, or if he does it's reckless, daddy's money won't help him passing other riders though 😜

Wonder what the witches fans would make of that

I remember hearing Kelvin say at the GP over the weekend that Doyley wouldn't mind coming back to the premiership - he's obvioiusly not going to be a direct replacement for Bewley but he does like the NSS, and he's an aussie so would fit in quite well with the team / management. No idea on whether his average fits, I would assume so. Might even free up some room to replace another rider who's not performing as well as expected.

I think the issue for me is having it on consecutive nights, although I appreciate why financially. I just find it odd to say that Max Fricke won the British GP, but so did Brady Kurtz, all in the same weekend. Would it be enviable to have the usual gap? Perhaps it would.

You obviously were not there to see Cairns torpedo Piper into the fence, I watched Cairns throughout the meeting walking round the pits like some sort of prima donna , showing no humility at all like the GP riders I had witnessed only 24 hrs earlier at Belle Vue.

Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m only telling you what the spirits are telling me..

Yes, definitely - on top of a shared of the conversion cost you obviously have all the track installation and infrastructure costs as well, so wouldn't be cheap. Against that then you obviously also have a much larger capacity to offset the costs, and I do think a London SGP would sell well. This is what is on this summer, and, as athletics is included, the oval configuration will be in place https://www.london-stadium.com/residents-information/index.html

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."

Sadly every time the camera panned to the crowd it did look a little that way, the average age of those they panned to must have been age 50! The fanbase/lack of excitement in the crows not a great advert really to any young fans watching at home. The racing was superb across both nights, I am still not sure two GPs across the same weekend is good for the sport. In most cases riders that not dialled in on the first night, are probably not going to be dialled in on the second night. The TV production also seemed to focus on riders battling for 3rd/4th and a couple of times missed a race at the front.

Just a guess but maybe the Berwick meeting has a different time constraint as it was moved due to the original BSN meeting vs Plymouth having to be postponed due to the stadium issues.

I watched it delayed by about 45 minutes and didn’t have any issues. Fast forwarded between heats and nearly caught up to ‘live’ by the end. Perhaps that’s the best way to watch it if you don’t like long drawn out meetings.

Ex riders, and sponsors of riders who take over clubs, are, in the main, the ones who provide the sport.... They are too close to the sport and know nothing other than what has gone before, therefore, do pretty much, exactly the same.. The raw material of a fast, high octane, colourful, exciting sport, all done in a minute so perfect for modern day attention spans, is clearly something that has potential to be exploited. However, white, middle aged males, with almost zero marketing, media and entrepreneurial skills, certainly need some people working with them who do possess those skills...
