Following it on the updates was tense, congratulations to both teams for what was seemingly a cracking meeting. On to 2026 and more to look forward to. Chris seemed to do the usual in raising his game, never fails to entertain, a legend of British speedway.

Well done to the riders and in particular Cooper.

That was a great rider by Cooper Rushen

Yes you are right and all second half meetings should be using these riders. Take it for what it is, which is those trying to make a way in the sport. It has costs supporters nothing if you are watching the stream so I don’t see an issue. For the purist who only want league racing it is not for those followers. Credence for Ipswich and the mentors who have been on site offering help and advice and putting the meeting on. No different to some of the meetings in Poland with the junior riders. I really do not get those who criticise this level but each to their own.

Some good talent on show tonight. To all the purist, you have to start somewhere. Well,done to Ipswich giving race time to these lads. Need more of this 2026. League racing has its place so do these lads.

BSN deserves some credence. Obviously it is all about income for the clubs but perhaps a reality check is needed without the easy money from a national broadcaster who apart from Sky have done no favours for speedway. Yes ITV or Chanel 4 or 5 would be a good choice but I doubt if that will happen. Maybe Tai’s story could sell it but not a lot else makes it an attractive for TV. Streaming seems to be the option to attract a younger audience who do not watch terrestrial TV

These lads are the future and more of these meetings should be held. Well done to all the lads involved.

A thank you to BSN for the stream. Appreciated and hopefully they get the nod for live televised speedway from the UK in 2026. They deserve it.

Congratulations to all at Ipswich speedway. It has been a long time coming and JL will be looking down with a big smile. Two great feats for Suffolk in one week.

19 points needed from 6 races for Ipswich to win

Ipswich are not convincing, the Lions are on this and unless the Witches get it together this is going away from them. Not totally convinced that the Witches can do this.

Most on here care but it is probably those in charge who have lost touch with what supporters of this particular two wheeled sport want. SON was in the most part boring except for the underdogs in Germany taking a title. It seems that speedway has lost its way at international level and has become very insular from a local league level. It will take something or someone special to pull the sport together at the highest level and as long as the riders and not not the authorities dictate when and how meetings take place and what conditions it is on a downward trajectory. Someone needs to get a grip particularly in the UK as the current set up is failing all genuine supporters.

Unfortunately that is it until 2026. Thanks to all the riders, clubs, officials, broadcasters, forum members, particularly Racers & Royals and Stewmac and all in involved in the Polish league racing, it has been great watching all the meetings here in the UK and hopefully many will get the opportunity to turn up at tracks in Poland next year to experience all that is great about the sport of Speedway.

All over well done Stal.

Tom is a very lucky man after that one.
