What's an even bigger shame is that Eurosport have now buggered off for the foreseeable until the play offs start. From what's been said about the last few meetings, all over, the drama and racing has been some the best it's been all season. Yes I know they have a contract and rain off's have pushed the season back but it's just so blind sighted with the permeations left and drama that they had to show more meetings to the mainstream. Believe this was on BSN - but still this or Sheffield should have been on Eurosport

Don't say that on the Leicester thread!!

The way Heeps is going at 2 I'd put RR there to use Tarrasenko in 8 and Brennan in 1. Piper and Complin to take a ride against either Atkins in 6 or Jenkins and Kerr in 10.

Not sure if it has been mentioned or even if this is the right place, apologies if not, but feel its prudent to share. Wales Online has just release a story of a fan that's been missing since the GP with links to report any information to the Police etc Live: Wales breaking news plus weather and traffic updates (Tuesday, September 5) - Wales Online

Thoroughly enjoyed it again this year. Managed to catch up with some old faces from all over the world that we've not seen in years. The buzz around the city centre was fantastic with a few friends from work commenting that they didn't realise speedway was so popular as I'm the only one they know who likes it. Imagine if all you moaning on your keyboard from a far had turned up, the impression of a thriving sport worth watching can never be a bad thing. The meeting its self was very enjoyable, Tai early on looked like the Tai of 2018. As has been pointed out many times you don't need 10 passes in each race for it to be a good race, only a handful of riders actually managed to get out in front and pull away. It was a much better meeting than the majority of GPs this year If you want to take it away from Cardiff and up to Belle Vue, go for it. But you'll all be moaning about how poor the 'fan zone' is or the parking or the hotel prices there too! And Wembley talk is quite frankly ludicrous! If you cant fill a 75k seater because its a 'temp track and they never work' how empty is Wembley going to look and what makes you think they'll get that right first time? Give your heads a wobble.

Hope so. If he gets a decent pick he should be alright.

If he actually was 'ruthless' he would be a serious medal contender!

Pretty much, it's chaos most days. As you'll most likely come down Newport Road from the M4 it does get very busy. Maybe busier than usual getting out as there is a strongman competition in the CIA opposite and it tends to be a car park of choice for events there as its so close.

FYI for those travelling into and staying in Cardiff, the 10k is on Sunday morning so escaping could be a bit difficult! Road Closures - The CDF 10K (cardiff10k.cymru) 2023-CDF10K-Road-Closure-Map.pdf (cardiff10k.cymru)

Well batch came in on 4.99, if there were the full 5 available then there's plenty of evidence that there were Danes, Poles and Russians available at that mark. I get that they had done well, but well enough to have carried RR until the next set came out to properly reassess options, that's where the knee jerk comment came from. But all that matters little as the 'for sale' must have been on the cards before the Morris issue as there has been chance to improve since and the changes have been as cost effective as they could make them. Shame as they really did start off well...Sedgman's form is the biggest concern since Morris was banned

Agreed, and more frustrating I'd imagine that the majority of those changes were driven by one riders actions. The knee jerk reaction of replacing Morris with Batch when there were (from the signings that have come later) better options out there has cost them big time. Even with the poor start from Laguta last night, Peterborough seem to have somehow come out of it all looking the better of those 4 sides. Sheffield have big hitters but a very long tail now and Kings Lynn still have a few injured or carrying injuries.

3 clubs have made 3 changes, one injury RS switch for BV and Riss out then back in for Ipswich.They changed the twins over as well, then Wolves haven't made any. That leaves: Kings Lynn - 6 outgoing in KK, Laguta, Edwards, Jakobsen, Thompson and Pickering. Leicester - 5 outgoings with Cook, Dan T, Harris, Batch and Morris. Peterborough - 4 outgoings, Pedersen, Wojdylo Andersen, Worrall Sheffield - 5 outgoings, Holder, Kerr, Ellis, Bellego, Giles. That's 20 changes with only 3/4 due to injures? Gilkes, Holder, Pedersen and Pickering.

Masters moaning about movement but it was Worrall moving? Brilliant

Class from Newman that

If timing had been better they could have tried to replace Roynon with him then?

What would he come in on now? Presumably 6 as he's still a 4 for Ipswich?

What is stopping them signing the Pole/another in place of Newman though? It would be incredible to witness the fall out on here if Redcar signed Wojdylo to replace Hume or Oxford to replace Jenkins.

It should have been but that Plymouth side is so poor. I know there are a lot of meetings on today but Perry in the side, RR and Edwards at 4...Oxford could hit 60. Not a bad meeting for Boughen to make his debut in though

If it has to be like for like average wise for a change, could he replace Hume at Redcar? Not that he needs replacing but would make the play off's very interesting and I imagine he would fly around there

I think I would have preferred Patryk if I was a Glasgow fan. He looks a lot more entertaining from what I've seen on the TV meets. Still a huge signing though and great replacement for Nowak

Throwing him straight into a Premiership meet before he makes his Championship debut feels very risky. It is of course a valuable experience but he seems a very determined young lad who I can't see settling for three 0's. Can't imagine Oxford will be happy if the worst happens from him overriding, trying to impress.

So is Cardiff, wouldn't be surprised to see him there

Thank you. The PL offer is interesting. Wonder if that was Sheffield after the Gilkes injury? Only Ipswich would probably be looking to change RS otherwise but don't see Louis having heard of him if he hadn't heard of most of the SGP2 field!

Can anyone post it on here for those of us not using that hell hole of a site?

He’s ridden in 3 out of 4 matches the Chargers have had at home, albeit for the away side so they’ve pretty much had him there anyway
