That didn't look good for Thomsen. Gate 4 is the place to be. -

Neither stream is working for me & https://vk.com/speedwayrussian now saying you need to be a donor. -

But the deep fried garlic bread is usually good. -
Decent meeting - certainly the best I've witnessed at Owlerton for a while. Shame the Lions couldn't keep the scores closer.
-
Don't think I've seen Owlerton this packed since PLRC in 2004. Fair few fans in Leicester colours. Interesting that Worrall has Leicester kevlars but Cooke doesn't.
-
Having just got here & found a spot, you'll have to go a bit further than the Citroen garage. No food I the New Barrack Tavern either!
-
Driving towards the City from Owlerton, there are loads of car dealerships you can park by. You'll probably have to pass them and do U turn by the stadium to get to them. Shove this in your Sat Nav: 608 Penistone Rd, Hillsborough, Sheffield S6 2FZ

Weather forecast is dry, so having been unable to do so for the two Aces visits to the Owlerton theatre of speed. The second visit of the Lions shall be my annual pilgrimage this year.

I remember watching a very young Danny King at Monmore riding for Ipswich in 2004. I've certainly seen him ride for Coventry, Birmingham, Poole & Sheffield since then. Never before have I noticed a lack of consideration for his team mate.
-
King, Riss, Thompson, Rew & Hume were the Witches falling over each other. Doyle & Sayfutdinov were gone.
-
It was a decent watch on TV. Thompson certainly showed well against the club that dropped him. The one thing that stood out for me was how appalling the Witches were at team riding. Not once did an Ipswich rider give a hoot where his partner was. Sedgman beats Sayfutdinov then doesn't score another point all night. Ipswich really need to replace Riss.
-
So after ten days in Poznan, Torun, GrudziÄ…dz, Gdansk & Wroclaw its back to work with a bump for me Monday. But only in the morning as the Aces host the Tigers in the Premiership "B" fixture. Tigers won on their last visit to the NSS but Jack Holder is unlikely to feature after his spill tonight. Bewley, Brennan, Ellis & Lidsey could struggle with a post WC hang over
-
Klindt can do a job at NSS. Nicholl's wouldn't have NSS near the top of his favourite track list.

Yeah, Bewley didn't have a ride for 6-8 heats on the trot, which corresponded with Woffinden's form disappearing. So the Two riders who knew the track best had nothing for their team mates. It also put an awful lot of pressure on Bewkey in his first World Cup. -

Ugh. Return of the SoN? When the SoN was introduced the Poles were never going to be beaten in a 4 man format. The Poles cruised the previous two SWC's 2016 SoN & 2017 Leszno. Tonight has proved that is no longer the case. There is nothing wrong with the 2 man format, it's just not as good! -
Are the Wolves riders back from holiday? A few guests & R/R due to sun burn?

Yes I left the stadium cursing Fricke! I might burn the GrudziÄ…dz t-shirt with hus name on I brought last Sunday! -

If it remains and isn't replacing by the SoN it will be at the NSS or possibly Sweden next year. I'd imagine. Wroclaw has been a great venue & city to visit. It was lost when Lambert tried to riund Fricke in heat 20 allowing Janowskj to sneak through. I'm not blaming Lambert at all, he needed a rider between hinself & Janowski as they crossed the line to win. The World Cup. Wouldn't have fancied any of our riders against Zmarzlik in a run off so he gad to go fir it. Tremendous effort from all our riders. -

I assume Kolodziej isn't as good at Wroclaw as he is at Leszno? -

Racing improved tonight after the tractor with the spikes spent considerably time on it after the normal two graders (drag loose material from outside to in) and the bowser had been around. Just as it did after that occurred at semi final 1. They never did so during semi final 2. So did team GB make hard work of Sweden? Swedes, Lindback aside were poor tonight. -

Did it not say on Sportowefakty ? I wasn't really looking at the live section as the presentation in the stadium were good at saying which riders were in which heat. I just kept an eye on overall scores on it. No... I don't do programs. -

Lidsey was probably the best Aussie. Wee you expecting Doyle to be? Chris Holder was reserve but never appeared. I realise the Czechs pulled a tactical masterstroke putting Milik at reserve which got them into the race off but I hope the Poles don't deploy Zmarzlik at reserve fur the final. Ditto. Lindgren. Sweden. Race off.
