Same as Ipswich with continuity 2023 Doyle Emil King Thompson Rew All part of the team in the 2024 cup winning side and then 4 of them in the title winning side … Jenkins and Edwards also in the team in those seasons as well Ellis was sacked by Sheffield so we didn’t have to do any poaching and Brennan needed to leave a club that was not paying its riders after Belle Vue showed him the door…. We couldn’t keep Rew after he demanded pay the same as Doyle and Ipswich won’t overpay for a rider Continuity isn’t always possible as Belle Vue have found before with Lidsey and Brennan Shame with what happened at Ipswich at the end of 2025 otherwise Doyle and Ellis would have still been in the side … Dan Thompson was already going to Leicester as he had a sponsorship deal Ipswich couldn’t match Now we have to rebuild after a season of just staying alive so hopefully moving forward Bewley and Cairns if they sign will be part of Ipswich for years to come

Belle Vue fans in tears over the fact Bewley and Cairns might be leaving is comical This is the same club that let Brennan go yes?? The word poaching is farcical as well …. Maybe riders want to better themselves and test themselves instead of riding a one dimensional flat out track week in week out Bewley a few season back rode an amazing race at Foxhall from third to fast chasing and passing Emil … maybe he wants a new challenge…. Poaching is laughable Belle Vue can always go for Musielek and Lawson and Brennan what’s the issue??

Tom is happy at Ipswich and the club stood by him Unlike Belle Vue who decided to keep Blodorn and Lidsey rather than a young English rider Not saying that was the wrong choice at all but I’m sure Tom would rather be at a club that will support his career rather than move him on quickly

Missing my point totally I agree that things need to change but the last seasons since Covid have been pretty close in terms of teams and strengths I don’t disagree Ipswich were favourites last season but during the season we struggled on and off with teams like Leicester and Sheffield winning at Foxhall and Kings Lynn drawing at our place to advance in the cup …. We never had it our own way as Belle Vue Sheffield and Leicester were strong sides Belle Vue were clear favourites all season and nobody could get close and it would take a real collapse to see them lose the title In 1998 when Ipswich had 3 of the worlds top 5 I used to enjoy the closeness of the away matches especially at Coventry as the home meetings were usually thrashings Was I happy we won the league in 98 … absolutely….. was it a good competitive league … no And that is how I feel about 2026….. Belle Vue deserving winners and their fans have every right to enjoy it …… but has it been the worst season in the last 7 or 8 years …. Yes

Well done Belle Vue but I’m sure most people are glad to see the back of that season totally boring Title winners obvious from early on 2 under strength sides in Ipswich and Northampton Leicester weaker than last season Sheffield losing arguably the leagues top rider … and unfortunately in their case too late to get Doyle The 2025 season was so close and 4 teams that could have won it This season take out Doyle Emil Fricke and Holder from 3 of those teams and the other side kept all theirs was obvious where the league would go Let’s hope 2027 is more competitive

I’ve said this numerous times but there is none so blind as those who can’t see The rear tyre does not have to be over the line just on the line As you say maybe tracks will make the white line as wide as they want too in that case

Haha what a ridiculous comment Even when we was in the second division we had bigger crowds than most teams in the top flight every week Do some research buddy before posting

If the back wheel is on the line it’s an exclusion Otherwise teams could make the white line 3 foot wide

So it’s now fact that he crossed the line so the Poole clowns who said he didn’t can shut the hell up Disastrous for British speedway total incompetence in both legs This league title will have an asterisk next to it

Belle Vue still massive favourites only lost by small amount last time and Kildemand only got 6 Yes Sheffield beat them easily the other 2 times but Belle Vue had numerous guests in those meetings

You have to love Poole fans showing pictures as they enter the bend claiming he wasn’t over the line ….. he wasn’t but a few metres on he was They may as well take pics of Cook going down the straight and say he wasn’t over the line Poole fans we know are a strange breed who never see any wrong doing ….like Cairns in the first leg and Cook last night … it borders on stupidity …. One guy on here even said Cook didn’t mean to go on the grass lol… perhaps if a rider touches the tapes we should not exclude them because they didn’t mean to do it I was the biggest Mark Loram fan in the world followed him when I could ….. but I also saw him knock Rickardsson off in the final of a GP accidentally and stay in the re run which was a joke of a decision mark was at fault …. Poole fans would be more respected if they just said ‘cook went on the grass the ref was wrong and we got away with it ‘

Steve Shovlar is a knob of the highest order Cant even spell his own riders name and is a blinkered troll with a sad life

And who is Louis Kerr? I’ve heard of Lewis Kerr … is he his brother? Do you not know your own team

Prat Poole have never been nor ever will be the biggest club in speedway

You are better than that
