Agreed, the Plymouth riders attacked the track a lot more, none more so than Dan Gilkes who had a tremendous meeting up until the unfortunate accident, we were having good banter with a Plymouth supporter in front of us who turned out to be Dan Gilkes grandad who was with 2 lasses, obviously they were visibly upset rushing to the pits so not only best wishes to Dan Gilkes for a speedy recovery but to his family as well.

Well It’s hard and I am proud of Kelvin for stepping up to the plate. The show must go on and all that. It’s going to take a bit of time to get going. Well done to Chris Louis stepping into Kelvins shoes and Kelvin for stepping into Scoops. Not easy and I commend their efforts. I hope there’s no moaning about commentary. If there is they deserve any crap aimed at them.

Russian nor Belarus tennis players will not be at Wimbledon tennis this year. I have said it on here before, there is a strong link between Polish and Ukraine citizens, a lot stronger then you may think. And the hatred for Russia now is quite strong. Likely to continue until the population in Russia open their eyes and realise they have a one man government.

As proved in other sports Russians are still competing, its virtue signalling and history will not be kind to speedway, whoever the decision is is irrelevant, it’s wrong and quite frankly I’m disgusted in the other riders to not speaking out about it

Maybe it's been erased

You just stick to looking at the updates and don’t bother giving an opinion on a meeting you didn’t attend, was plenty of passing, but it rained for 5 hours straight, so of course it’s not going to be normal track conditions, but that doesn’t suit your agenda does it

Yes, all very enjoyable. Zmarzlik will take some beating though, to state the obvious. Can’t wait to go to one live again but meanwhile the tv coverage was indeed excellent. Kelvin and Chris are a good team, especially tonight under the circumstances, hope Chris continues in the role as he provides some interesting insights. And a big thank you to everyone whose first language isn’t English. We take it for granted but I wish I could be so fluent in a foreign tongue.

Kelvin I feel for you. Very hard night. Thoughts are with you. Very brave to do this.

Broken arm, 5 busted ribs and a collapsed lung for young Gilkes!! Get well soon young man.

That's not how two ambulances work. If the paramedic is busy/has to go with the rider racing can't continue. The only solution is an extra paramedic but you're talking a lot of money

I think we should have more than enough to cover for him at home whilst he gets to grips with it but he is more important away as that is where the twin’s generally struggle at the moment.

"Regulation is the controlling of an activity or process, usually by means of rules."

You really are some kind of special stupid, your hatred of Godfrey won't cloud an inaccurate statement eh. There is medical cover at Scunthorpe but like all tracks they have to wait for a county ambulance, stabilise the patient etc... So Gilkes was put in the Scunthorpe ambulance with medical cover until he could be transferred, whilst waiting for the transfer there is no other medical cover and the racing has to wait.

As I said listen to both sides and make your own judgment, when your informed from one side and the other is banned, that should raise your curiosity at least, I’m not defending Russia or Putin or Ukraine but I will say all is not what we are being told to think (again)

Yes he was mentioned and spoken about by Kelvin during the buildup, and also a period of Silence and applause after the national anthem.

Well that was impressive all round…Discovery certainly took the sport forward with that production..and Kelvin Tatum and Chris Louis were excellent Everything looked very professional and a great advert for speedway its up to the other riders to compete with Zmarzlik and I for one never tire of watching him ride and he is probably the most exciting rider I have watched since my time of starting watching in the mid 70s

Our friends in the East appear to have got a march on us in at least a couple of areas recently: streaming and investment in local youth.

Zmarzlik will win every round of the GP series this season imo. I thought the new presentation of the series was top notch.

I personally think both Tatum and Louis are excellent, but as sidekick summarisers. Neither is right for the lead commentary role and they’re gonna have to find someone to fill that particular role I think. Tatum is trying, but struggling to generate his usual enthusiasm and that’s totally understandable. Seems a bit flat today bless him.

It’s is disgusting that laguta and sayfutinov are not on the series, history will not be kind to speedway over this

Welcome back Matej, no doubt the lower deck lawyers will soon find another cause.

Perhaps Roger has not been following the thread? Otherwise, I'm sure he'll have noted the irony of Mike's entire post.

Anyway back to last night's slaughter in the sunshine . It was as impressive performance as I've seen from the Tigers at Armadale , solid from 1 to 7 . The highlight being Danyon's win over Masters . Praise to the track too , it was as good and fair as I've seen it there 51-39 is normally quite a comprehensive away win , and it was , though it does actually flatter the Monarchs as they got the majority of their race wins once the meeting was over as a contest . None more so than Kye Thomsen's heat 14 win . He was well off the pace all night before popping out to win that race easily . Edinburgh's choice of waiting till heat 11 before putting a t/s in against Cook was quite baffling . But all in all it was a brilliant night for us on the third bend

Firstly, its not nice to see a mate get hurt like that, speedy recovery Dan mate - that was an awful crash. Fair play to the Gladiators, better team on the night won.. Great choice of guests by Plymouth management. Also, a quick thankyou to Ben Barker who came into Scorpions TV Media Center and had our first ever live on the spot interview

Our commentators do a brilliant job considering the budget we work to. They don't have abundance of data or someone keeping them informed. Just the track in front of them and a TV with the stream before it's transmitted.

Edinburgh if you’re wanting to be factually correct!

Rotten luck Plymouth losing Gilkes with a suspected broken arm. He has been excellent this season and I for one wish him a speedy recovery. Plymouth will certainly miss him on Tuesday and he will be irreplaceable. Get well soon.

He's well beyond stupid.... Every post he makes is designed to damage the credability of Scunthorpe Speedway.

Harris was imperious tonight,Kyle not doing at the moment really need him to hit some form, especially now Ty moves to reserve, pretty much as expected score line, but have to say loved watching Complin scraping the fence.

Yeah but that's Poole

It will continue until the world opens their eyes, if your going to listen to propaganda then at least listen to both sides, the hatred of Russians by poles goes back a lot longer than the current situation

Management maybe forgot how to give him 7 rides though

And producing some fantastic racing once again... Morris passed Wright twice in heat one getting that track record!

History will not be kind to speedway !!! I think that train left the station a couple of decades ago…..

you mean the red cross

That's the whole point. Some fans saying, if, if, if - it applies to both teams. Lawson normally rides very well at Foxhall, scored 3!

Use the Kergel/ ucoz that can be found in the Polish Div 2 thread today.

well soon be time for my tea then off to watch the lads beat newcastle

I've been finding the same, and I can't get beIN SPORTS. However, last night I did find one YouTube link that looks promising. I will let you know how it turns out.

Less than 8 - you are on !!

I got a bit confused when I read it, and do not have Discovery+ to see it for real. But is it not just the same format they introduced before Covid intervened, except not on a Friday night and without letting you practice before approaching the start line? It is a shame the horrible championship points system has been retained. I wish they had gone back to double points in the final, retaining points scores is a much fairer reflection of a rider's performance while ensuring the double points ensures the importance og winning G.P.s when chasing the title.

Yes, usually a delay but should be available today sometime. Not that I'll be watching it!

From what I saw of Gilmour last season Stewart Dickson would do a better job if he donned a race suit himself!

Hi, can anyone tell me if the SGP 2 and 3 will be shown on Eurosport? Thanks

It doesn't need to mention the league cup. The League Cup precedes the Premiership so changes can't be made until 25% of league fixtures are completed. It's not difficult to understand. Also Jake Allen is a declared rider whose 28 day contract is irrelevant as he WASN'T granted facility status. The rules the same if the League Cup Final happens after 75% of Premiership fixtures, team won't be allowed changes for that fixture either. It really isn't hard to understand at all

On this occasion Blobby is correct , there getting pumped.

Maybe so , but the reverse psychology thing is what you do .
