Just not on it, the track is a shadow of the track it used to be, the only passing line is down the inside, that's not Bomber's line

This really is one of the tamest speedway meetings I've ever been to... the large crowd really deserved better!

I know what you mean... followed by the statement on the website about he doesn't care whether you come or not. But I'm not going to cut my nose off to spite my face. I'm just going to treat it for what it is, an end of season fixture filler

It's a pretty p155 poor line up for a "farewell" to a track meeting! I shall toddle along because I haven't seen any live Speedway in ages... but it sums everything up quite nicely, Panthers going out with a whimper

Why do people keep saying Woffinden swore on TV, i thought it was on an interview at the stadium over the PA?

Listening to the Birmingham fans forum on the Speedway Tavern podcast I was almost walking around the streets of Leicester with my jaw dragging along the floor. First of all full credit to the Birmingham promotion for facing the fans in this way, I wish more would... But this Nigel Tolley guy sounds like a successful businessman, but as far as Speedway is concerned he sounds completely delusional. I think somebody needs to stage an intervention as he's in serious danger of "doing his money". It was just one thing after another, from the make up of the Brummies team at the start of this season to a possible option of moving to the Alexander Stadium just had me shaking my head in disbelief!

Sara Cords?

As unsatisfactory as it was for the speedway purist... it was a bit exciting wannit?!!? Congratulations to Sheffield Tigers

Most unsatisfactory for a final of all matches to be ridden in these conditions! I looked at the forecast as soon as the rescheduled match on Tuesday finished and rain was always going to be on the cards. Why they postpone the Ipswich leg but not the Sheffield leg with a similar forecast is strange to say the least... And then when it is decided to stage the match there seems to be zero flexibility from Eurosport as regards starting time and ad breaks etc. It's on situations like this when I really question the value that Tv coverage adds to our sport.

Yellow methanol... is that like yellow snow? Are you sure it was methanol? Maybe this Pink methanol is Dreamboat Phil's() "special" methanol he tries to peddle on the GP circuit... or was maybe taken from the recent "Ladies Day" at the NSS

Personally I thought it was refreshing to hear a rider express an opinion in an interview rather than the bland nothingness that most riders come out with when asked inane questions about setup etc. I'll also extend that to Picko who is clearly very passionate about the clubs he rides for as demonstrated by his comments at Edinburgh recently

Great comeback from the Tigers! Well deserved place in the final and probably have a better chance of beating Poole all things being equal track condition wise. But... what on earth was Cami Brown doing leaving Ace Pijper in for a 4th ride! I know there's been question marks over his team management in the past but that was absolutely unforgivable team management! Pijper spent most of the night on his arse while Complin was riding out of his skin to drag his team over the line. 'mon the Tiggers!

Chris Holder at Ipswich No. Points Total 14/09/23 Ipswich v Sheffield (PRKO) 3 2, 2, 2, R 6 16/09/10 Ipswich v Poole (ELb) 1 3, 3, 3, 3 12

People complain when there is consistent track prep though, look at Dreamboat Phil () in the GP's always prepares a consistent track from round to round and still gets stick for it. Looks like Ippo want to win it rather than provide a spectacle and who can blame them. The only trouble with that is though, is that one of their own riders can't stay on his bike!

Wasn't the track like this when Sheffield were at Foxhole in the KoC final? When Sheffield went down by 20 points. Makes sense for them to prep it the same maybe?

Emil was out of control going into turn 1, I reckon if he'd cleared the track the race would have continued, always baffles me when refs don't put the red's on straight away, then call all four.

Also one SGP slot is reserved for a European born rider qualifying through SEC

And 99% them not seeing the season out! Madness! They were on the brink in the CL. They must think they're going to pick up Wolves punters

For me the NDL needs to be scrapped in favour of compulsory running of 2nd half junior matches, a protected place for a "junior" rider position in a reserve berth of the senior team, with the same reserve also competing in the junior match. Those teams that run exclusively in the NDL to go CL or NORA

He may be given permission to miss the meeting, it's happened in the past hasn't it? The decision to run this on Tuesday has gone down like a turd in a swimming pool on Twitter. Hopefully everybody will reconsider

While Ekstraliga should not be irrelevant when considering riders who should be gifted a place in the SGP. It shouldn't be the be all and end all. It's been shown time and again that a good Ekstraliga rider does not always translate into being a good rider elsewhere, for whatever reason. Greg Hancock, bang average league rider while he was picking up his later championships. Per Jonsson, bang average in the league before he became World Champion Agree with Hans vs Erik. Hans was undoubtedly a better league rider than Erik. They were pretty level imo when it came to World Championship racing

Different class from Zmarzlik. Nice touch having all the riders (except for Woffy) out there at the end

No doubt about that!

They do attend normally... assume they've missed their flight or something

Pretty p155 poor of DSE to not provide any English commentary for qualifying. Scott Nicholls was clearly stood there in the pits like a spare part
