What happens if it goes to count back for the semi spots and the tied teams haven't ridden against each other? Simon Lambert Superstar! The CL should be full of Simon Lambert's but promoters keep getting drawn to the Troy Batchelor's

I hope Bachelor is thrown out of the club for his lack of effort and pulling wheelies and putting zero effort in. A disgrace to the brummies race jacket.

Brilliant assessment by Simon Lambert on Batchelor the clown.

No because BSN have a contract that they must show 2 meetings from each track per season, They haven't shown one from Peterborough yet due to weather. It's not there fault it's contractual.

Max Perry take a bow!

Well said by the Redcar TM...

With no fans there's no sport... riders constantly taking the #@#@ Hope the riders can get day jobs next year....

Looks like lewy and Mike0310 could be the pairing for the Devils at this rate. .

Max Perry is now partnering Kyle Howarth. Craig Cook has pulled out for Edinburgh too, so Luke Killeen now partners Josh Pickering. Year in year out riders suddenly drop out of meetings like this, and the case of this meeting, you can now count either of those pairs as winners. Total joke, and a complete waste of money attending.

He's an absolute embarrassment - nothing short of a disgrace.

Sick of certain riders rubbing spectators noses in the dirt, disgraceful.

I particularly enjoyed his terminology of ‘competitive socialising’ I mean wtaf of a bullrubbish phrase is that. The bloke, as I have said from day one, is a chancer and fantasist.

After an iffy start turned into a really good pairs meeting with some excellent racing when any of the three top teams met. Well done to Glasgow who thoroughly deserved their victory with Chris Harris the rider of the night. His team riding in the semi was epic and in stark contrast to Charles Wright in the final, who was busting a gut to win the race when he should have dropped back to try to help his partner into third. Also a special mention for young Max Perry taking a fine heat win. And finally - where was Cami?

Fantastic win, well deserved. Beat Poole, Oxford and Redcar five times from five heats. Redcar well worthy of second, Lewis Kerr was brilliant most of the night for Oxford too. Batch needs dispatched.

Wrestle

Lambert last in that one ... but he'd be the first person I'd have in my team and build the rest around him. The guy has grit and balls.

Charles Wright shouldve been out for knocking Simon Lambert off. Then in the rerun he moved at the start but it took the referee almost half a lap to put the red lights on. As for Batchelor he should be thrown out of the meeting. Dickie The Gater apparently unhappy with the track, yet he rides Poole every week.

Rishi Sunak and Jacob Rees Mogg

King's Lynn 1. RL - 15 2. NK - RR 3. EB - 3 4. CM - 5 5. MPT - 6 6. SL - 10 7. AR - 8 Total - 47 Ipswich 1. ES - 13 2. DH - 4 3. DK - 7 4. ER - 5 5. JD - 12 6. KR - 2 7. AB - 0 Total - 43 I'm forever an optimist that we are going to decide your fate and see you miss out on the playoffs.

Ashton has been riding bikes since he was 3 he has competed all over the world in mx from the age of 8 and rode for some top factory teams ,he has taken to speedway like a duck to water having seen him a few times now he susses tracks out after 1/2 rides always looks smooth fast always looks in control pretty sure he will go pretty far quickly too

This does seem a bit of strange discussion to be having, and feel the thread would be better used to congratulate Glasgow….however… A coin toss is literally used at the start of every football game to decide which end each team gets etc. Now while this isn’t exactly groundbreaking, it’s barely any different from a coin toss to decide which semi-final Glasgow or Oxford should be in is it? It barely (if any) impacted the result, just like the coin toss at the start of a football match. Should they have a quick five a side game before kick off instead if everything should be performance based?

Like Oliver Reed and Alan Bates It's how all disputes should be resolved

Can we claim a 50% stake in being the Championship pairs winners with Glasgow as it was Basso & Harris that won the Grand Final tonight

Bomber showed what Pairs is all about in the semi and final. Well done Glasgow !

Brilliant tactics by Glasgow ... Stead and Allen need to pay attention.

My sleep will remain uninterrupted

From the regulations 016.2.2 Racing Format To be confirmed. 016.2.3 Racing Regulations Starting offences for the 1st offence, the offending rider will be handicapped as per these Regulations. For a 2nd offence for the same rider then that rider will be disqualified. Where there is a tie for the semi final qualification, a two way tie will be decided by the result in which the pair met, highest score. If more than a two way tie or the pair have not met then the team with the highest scoring heat results (7-2, 7-0, 6-3, 5-4, 4-5, 3-6) will qualify and if still not resolved, then by ballot. Regardless of helmet colours each pair can switch programmed gate positions between themselves. Heat points for this event will be 4, 3, 2, 0. In the case of an abandonment and the event is not re-staged the result will be taken from the completion of heat 9 as this is where all teams had completed the same number of heats.

Well done Max Perry!

Max Perry ... what a ride!

Brilliant race well done all 4 riders

It really is so excellent to see Tv Coverage and interviews that are so bang-on from BSN.

Trouble is that the punters do not make their feelings known to the real culprits and so the powers that be followed by the gate and go throttle merchants who turn up when it suits them continue to take the p... Someone needs a word with these self believing overrated sports participants because too many punters have walked away because of the daft rules and rider attitudes. And those that cannot take the criticism should walk.

Troy Batchelor

Why? He's aggravated an injury and is going to seek medical advice to try and get it sorted.

Is there any point in having referee's any more? If they're just going to keep putting all 4 back! And kop out of every decision

Is Wright the British Bartosz?.

Charles Wright knocks somebody off... who would have thunk it? Has he got some info on the refs?

It seems that if it is not a league meeting the riders are not interested. Are the pay scales that different between these events and a league match? Those that run the sport need to get a grip and deal with those who duck these events and the riders need to respect the punters who pay good money to watch a meeting and each and every rider who effectively sticks two fingers up and each and everyone of us who pay good money to watch should be shown the door. This is no longer a sport for professionals who seem to think they are owed a living, it is a part time occupation alongside a proper job and those riding should cut their cloth accordingly. Those that duck out of these type meetings should be banned from x number of league matches. The riders seem to believe that they are actually owed a living and look to anyone but themselves but get real and find another job if you cannot make speedway pay, don’t take the p...out of the punters.

Everything is Rosy.

JK`s excellent Cardiff GP racecard https://www.speedwayservice.at/images/racecards/2023/SGP2023-08.pdf

Ah... as long as it was unsurmountable problems, that's ok

That alone could have them snookered..

Done the same bet on Holder..had gave it up as a loss but ended up making £12 due to getting the exact points..got out of jail on that one

As a guest though.It does nothing for the sport when riders can’t be bothered turning up for the Club.The fixture has been listed all season.

Pickering and Luke killen will be the pairing for the monarchs.

You must have done ... I saw him at the Junior Championships last year; his first winning time was the same as many Championship riders'!

It has to be the EoES for the few more years that Buster said was possible in Sept 2022. That will both save the track and stand, stabilise the club and give new owners time to plan for a future elsewhere, if need be that is should PCC capitulate and agree to the pointless 10 year concrete jungle which benefits nobody. I think that it's the EoES or the end irrespective at this moment in time. The whole process is just following the regular pattern with such developments. The difference here compared to most tracks that disappear is that we have the ammunition to make it very difficult and our opposition public as we have some clever people who can hold AEPG and PCC to account. That's what they don't want. Their PR on the radio & press has been pretty poor and the last thing that they want is strong public opposition or close examination of their rationale. I was told by someone who knows (no names no pack drill) that these things go through on the nod, until I pointed out some of the contentious issues and that changed the tone pretty quickly.

I think the expectation is there because of how far he has come in a year since first sitting astride a speedway bike, and the style he has on the bike already. Best thing he can do is get over to Poland next year, its been rumoured that that will be the case. It could go either way of course but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he isn't a big name in the sport in a few years time.

I'd suggest most are probably going to Cardiff anyway, coupled with no other meetings this weekend

You mean the bar.
