Someone make sure Phil Morris doesn’t interfere with track preparation for this weekend!

Nobody's bottling anything, we're witnessing a thrilling speedway meeting, no quarter asked, none given. Just enjoy it instead of gobbing off.

After ready pages and pages of vitriol the only thing I’ll say is that Adam presented his racing schedule (as all riders do) before he signed. Before he turned a wheel for Scunthorpe it was always known he had a meeting yesterday. Ok boys and girls you can get back to your bïtching now, but maybe try to think a little before you all slag off on a rider

Why does Kingofthetrack and Keirstarmerfan have two accounts when they are clearly the same person?

Why haven’t Leicester chosen to ride on Friday evening? No clash and keeps all fans happy. They ludicrous choice of riding against the SON is stupid.

Wouldn't worry about it those complaining are those who want to stick the knife into speedway and it's organisers .

Yup. You haven’t read what’s happening. And seeing the above post you really are as thick as shît Riding at a pre arranged meeting before he’d even signed a contract means it does take priority. If you’re not clever enough to understand the situation then no amount of explaining will get through your thick skull i’m glad the season is nearly over as I won’t have to interact with twunts like you . And people wonder why British speedway is laughed about when people like you are a prime example of « fans » Yes I’ve met loads of brilliant people following speedway unfortunately I’ve also met people like you. to the fans who’ve apologized after thé true facts were known, Thanks. To you pinny, I hope you seek the professional help you need. It must be hard being that thick. I’m out of here folks, it’s great to interact from time to time with real fans but people like Pinny are the reason that most riders avoid this place like the plague.

And that's shallot.

Well done all... A truly great nights racing... Topped off by amazing team riding... Even if Thursday is half as good it will be a cracker...

Choosing 2 riders who haven't ridden the track for 3 years instead of one who is racing it most weeks including twice in last 7 days and is track record holder.

Robert Simon or & Butler?

No Conspiracy theory, the facts are the Rob Godfrey allegedly said Adam Ellis was ill, when in fact according to the riders dad he knew all along that Adam Ellis was unavailable for this meeting due to other commitments, that in itself is bad enough but to have have come from the BSPL Chairman makes it even worse. Now the Teams for tomorrow ?.

Thought the SON was a two day event, both Saturday and Sunday.

Not a question for Ellis ask Godfrey.

That was one of the all-time great speedway meetings at the NSS tonight. Fantastic stuff...

This is dangerous thinking. I'm assuming you've forgotten about David Nix, a young rider many years ago was suffering from concussion and was riding at conference league level for king's Lynn, he blacked out on track and died as a result. Riders should 100% not be allowed to ride with an existing concussion. It's just not worth the risk.

What a fantastic meeting! Wembley 81 was a stunning atmosphere, with massive stakes and two fantastic races. A truly memorable occasion. Tonight had many more great races, on a hugely better race track. Thank you to both teams for a brilliant evening of entertainment. THIS is why we love speedway.

That bloke is an incredible Speedway team manager. There is nobody like him, seems to lift teams & rider's above their level.

He was right though. Take those two races Penhall won on the line out, and there was very little else in the way of racing

He did what he wanted to do by ‘79 There were only a handful of top races at Wembley that night but that’s all people remember

Scott nicholls rode beautifully tonight

Think Panthers will try and blag that Andersen hasn’t got concussion and try to use him.

A draw would be a truly fair result.... What a great advert for the sport....

So chrismorton can keep agreeing with them/him/her/they...

Hard from R Worrall in previous rides but thats ok hes an ace

Palin showing why he’s in the SoN squad at Belle Vue

The purpose of showing speedway on Eurosport is for them to show as many adverts as possible.

Might be a good time to clarify the format and some of the rules. Day 1 21 heats scoring 4, 3, 2, 0 under U 21 rider must ride in 1 heat Day 2 1st day scores are added to day 2 another 21 heats and the U 21 rider must take 1 ride. At the end of the 42nd heat the leading team go to the final(race 44). next best 2 teams go in race 43 to decide who gets to the final. The team who win the final win the title.(2nd and 3rd beat 1 and 4) Any starting offence warnings are not carried over from day 1 to day 2. U 21 riders are not allowed to replace riders excluded for a starting offence.

For me this should be a resignation offence for Godfrey, he has clearly lied to his clubs loyal supporters there's no way this man should be in charge of British Speedway. I will not be attending Scunthorpe Speedway again while this man is in charge of the sport. He's mugged off his own clubs supporters, he's mugged off Leicester fans and he's put the British Champion in an untenable position.

What else is new?

I think it will be poole glasgow final in the league anf the cup

Would say Scott was a big surprise tonight. Best performance at NSS. Track craft blocking Stevie’s inside line was awesome.

I don't think Hans would have bettered that.

Great performance from the the best TEAM in the premiership they just dont give up , brilliant TM plotting every move

There were a few good races in the 1981 final. Most when Penhall rode. This is much better racing.

Should have been at Monmore....

Agreed. Also the fact Kingofthetrack is sometimes sensible then it goes Keir Starmer and becomes a knobber again. Clearly forgets what account its on

Bewley is fast,,, but the commentators go on like they want his baby's

True, if the SoN organisers are watching then I hope they keep Morris away from any track prep for weekend, just let it be done as normal.

Stop the stupid on bike camera

Sorry I’ve got a work night out and the guest options for me are vastly inferior.

It's a shame that the amount of people on here who always have a negative view of everything.

Not the case I was there when the CofC told the Ref about the change in rider line up. The change was made by the Scunny TM not the ref.

Why you wasting time on here instead of doing your homework ?

Please try engaging Your brain before typing next time. Your unhealthy hate for Poole is well known ( if not fully understood ). But disrespecting other clubs and their supporters is just plain stupid.

So... the organiser of your Speedway (and Speedway in the whole of the UK) has been outed as a liar! What do you think about that?

9pm kick off so fans can get back to attend?

How about a mixture of both scoring systems?? Up to & including the semi finals it's all points scored during the meeting. Just those in the final are:- 1st - 25pts 2nd - 21 3rd - 19 4th - 18

But ultimately it is the promoters who (by allowing such nonsense to happen), who sadly do the most damage... With the greatest of ironies being that they do the damage ultimately to themselves... Its an incredible concept to consider how these people so effortlessly undue so much of their fine work and dedication in keeping the sport going in this country, by willingly allowing so many ludicrous situations to take place... Be a great subject to have for a psychological Uni Degree I would suggest... Many have said often that it no longer is a "proper sporting league competition" anymore, but simply a formula put together to allow riders the chance to earn as much as they can, as often as they can, as individuals, riding under some contrived "flag(s) of convenience".... I dont think that it's even pretending to be anything more than that anymore is it?

Most local private ambulance services will not touch speedway with a barge pole due ti the high risks involved they are happy to do school fates , concerts etc . Mention 4 men on bikes doing 50mph+ without brakes they say thanks but no thank you it’s simply not worth the risks.
