We have reaction from Ashfield speaking to Zach & Richard, plus Will Cairns, Gary Havelock, Neil Middleditch and Danny Ford. We also hear from Chris Harris who scored a 15 point maximum in the final for the Tigers.

We also have reaction to the news from Peterborough where a planning application to develop the former home of the Panthers has been thrown out. Could this now open the door for a return of speedway to the East of England Showground.

Ian Brannan speaks to Panthers campaign director, and planning legal expert Brian Connolly about what this means. He's also worked as an advisor on the successful Coventry appeal, and explains why that case could be a game changer not just for speedway but for sporting venues as a whole.
