With Poole now running home league meetings on Wednesday 5 August and Friday 7 August, what chance the Pairs scheduled for Saturday 8 August gets postponed?

Could someone explain why Madsen is ranked above Woryna in the current standings please? Checking the rules, my understanding of them is that with both of them having a GP win, then Woryna’s 6th place finish (11pts) should put him ahead of Madsen’s two 7th places (10pts), so I’m slightly confused.

Chris Harris is currently just five rides away from a full-time SGP return (as is Paco Castagna). To suggest Bomber has "lost his edge" is a bit bold. He has been inconsistent at times in 2026, but on his day, still retains the special sauce. IMO.

Don’t forget the Championship Pairs on the Saturday as well. Something will have to give.

It's just 'Shale' in Polish, I believe?

Excellent post spot. I think Coleman has ruffled the feathers of the BSPL too.

What about. IVE HAD ENOUGH!

You wanna buy an umbrella?

Did someone cut there selves on a broken glass. You mentioned bar injuries?

We also know this to be true, he’s admitted it himself. The BSPL have form for this kind of behaviour though, Louis also admitted to being “ ostracised” by his fellow BSPL members over his signing of Sayfutdinov!

Oh dear. Not good having two home meetings in three days. Fans will pick which one to go to. How many weeks since last home meeting? By the time we have another one probably be raining again lol.

Well this one has been re-scheduled for a friday so as we don't normally ride at home on a friday no other meeting is affected.

“The” season? Where has that been said? All he’s said is work had already started on building a team for next year. What on earth is wrong with that? He’s also been very vocal about the state of the sport in this country, to the point he seems to have annoyed quite a few Ipswich supporters on social media because he seems to be prioritising the sport in general here rather than the club he’s just brought! Don’t let the truth get in the way of a needless pop though eh? He’s also criticised the promotion (or lack of) of Speedway in this Country, so that’s what he’s doing, promoting his club. He’s not daft, he knows what the Ipswich faithful have been used to seeing in recent years and he’ll know full well they won’t be happy with the team they’re currently watching. All he’s done, is given them assurances and hope, that next year will look a lot better. There’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with that whatsoever.

Give the boy a break, he had just trebled his highest wage of the season he was probably excited. 😅 Seriously though, must be encouraging to see Hausl start to find some form. The side was built poorly from the off IMO with two poor reserves. It relied on both Hausl and Pedersen to hit the ground running and make light work of their assessed averages which neither have done. Next year though with both on real averages, a good side could be built. You have to wonder if you would bother retaining Harris again though, has lost his edge this year.

Would that be dire straits. The musicians?

I've been having the same weird feeling. Almost reminiscent of Andy Smith back in the day!!

Do we know how KJP is? Does not sound good being taken to hospital.

It might be a silly question but when are we going to have our other meetings, league changed to KO early in year and Glasgow and Oxford. Thanks to anyone who can answer.

Excellent post spot. I think Coleman has ruffled the feathers of the BSPL too.

That's the issue though, as other clubs have found out previously. Very, very difficult to get riders over here during the season, and there appear to be few new ones who want to sign in the winters.

No deflecting; I’ve twice said Edinburgh were deserved winners. I’m in the minority in that I hope the Monarchs do well. I enjoy a trip to Armadale, even when Glasgow aren’t involved and in my younger years, would regularly do Armadale on a Friday and Ashfield on a Sunday. I said I thought you were title challengers last season and said the same this season. I wasn’t confident going into last night; I think you’ve built a very strong side. However what I won’t tolerate is indecency and an extreme lack of respect. Celebrating while another rider (who you’ve now passed twice) lies motionless on the track and subsequently preventing paramedics from reaching him sooner… in a race where you came third, only because of said incident because you were dead last before it… is God awful behaviour.

There isn’t one. What? So you’re saying he’s actually lying and there WERE better option out there? Name names as you seem to be another playing the “in the know” game. Let’s look at the facts here shall we? It was your “messiah” Louis and his mate that decided to bugger off at the eleventh hour leaving not only Ipswich hunting around for the scraps left on the table, but also inconvenienced every other club in the league with his selfish attitude. He left his own die hard supporters fearing the absolute worst over the long winter months, not knowing whether their beloved club would still even exist, which also threw the whole league set up in chaos with no clubs able to release their own fixtures and sell their own season tickets which clubs rely on for winter cash flow. I find your post along with those from TTT incredibly ungrateful to both Richard Coleman, AND Paul Hurry for rescuing Ipswich and the top league this season. Hurry by all accounts, doesn’t get paid a single penny for his role as team manager, just expenses paid. He’s doing the club a favour here. I find it genuinely staggering that an Ipswich supporter of all people, are looking at Coleman’s arrival negatively. In my opinion, he’s been a breath of fresh air and spoken incredibly well on lots of varying issues. The communication has been first class despite him only being in place a matter of months. Coleman knew his media man Paul Burbidge had written up the main story in the Speedway Star about the partnership with Wroclaw a couple of weeks ago, so he gathered supporters at Foxhall to tell them the news first, 24 hours before the article went to press. That again, is first class. That partnership should be exciting the Ipswich supporters, not creating negativity. It’s certainly ruffled a few feathers of fans from other clubs judging by their catty comments on here! I see one from Leicester a few posts up has joined the party, “liked” by the usual suspects from Manchester. The bloke has literally just walked in the door at your club, he’s given the supporters another year of Speedway despite only getting the keys in March, all whilst promising the supporters a better 2027 when they’ll be given a fair chance of building a team. Show some gratitude.

Yes, hadn’t realised it was the same clown who keeps baiting people about Coventry and is just a wind up merchant. Probably best not to post after a few beers watching the football.

Not sure I fully agree with you. Louis leaving if his heart wasn’t in it any more was 100% the correct decision. Due things beyond the control of Louis & Coleman the take over took a lot longer to be finalised than in should. My understanding was that everything was agreed between Louis & Coleman before Christmas. That it didn’t happen until March ment recruitment of riders was tough as most already had their calendars sorted. I’m confident for the short term of the club Coleman has kept onboard the existing sponsors that Louis had & has since added some new ones. The sponsors from the Louis era all seem happy & excited about the future enough to keep them onboard. Now where I do agree with you is that Coleman definitely wants to make change & drag the sport into the modern era. It appears that a 5 year timeline has been set for this to happen & it’s possible that at that point Coleman walks away if he can’t take the old guard with him. However if in 5 years he has been unable to make those changes & we still have the same issues as today there won’t be much left to walk away from. The first step of change I think has been laid with Wroclaw coming onboard they wouldn’t get involved unless there was the possibility of light at the end of the tunnel.

Rescheduled from Wednesday to Friday 7th August
