Col 849 Posted September 16, 2018 Terrible meeting from Gorzow. Leszno will win 2nd leg by 12 points easy, they have 7 riders that will score. Gorzow have Zmarzlik & Vaculik that will certainly score. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dream on U.K. speedway it has some work to do to tempt those sort of numbers to a play off meeting. IN Poland fans are supporting not just their club but their town/city. It is a whole different demographic to the UK. It's a young audience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those around me in Block K5 support their town / city and the winning is far more important than the quality of the speedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As we do in this country with football ,rugby, Ice hockey but for some reason speedway believes it’s some sort of competitor sport and has dissolved the team aspect in all but name 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Carter 62 Posted September 17, 2018 Gorzow Vs Leszno What an utterly crud meeting. Does anyone know what has happened to the Gorzow track ? Its got steadily worse through the season. Had high hopes for this one but gave up watching on free sport after heat 9 and had to come back for a second sitting on Monday. Rybnik Vs Lublin Faith in humanity restored! What a meeting! Score possibly flattered Rybnik a little so i think they'll edge it over 2 legs. Couple of races from AJ at the start were sensational stuff. Rolling back the years. Massive crowd as well. Just 10/10 for everything 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Carter 62 Posted September 17, 2018 20 hours ago, Fred Flange said: This afternoons slick track gave much better racing. Same story at Belle Vue, slick is significantly better than grippy. You are certainly right on the evidence yesterday. When AJ was interviewed at Rybnik after his tremendous races early on he did say that the track was 'super-slick' which I thought was very odd given how good the racing was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve69 49 Posted September 18, 2018 Was also at Rybnik with a polish friend who was new to watching live speedway. We both loved it brilliant meeting. There were 3 other brits sat in front of us from the same hotel. And another 2 in the main stand.Supporters were sitting in the aisles on bends 1 & 2 & about 4 deep at the top walkway. Fantastic. And there were 3 x Lublin fans nearby to us & no trouble. We arrived at 1-15pm & it was well over half full at that time. The club sklep (or rather a wooden hut) was doing a roaring trade throughout the meeting. Only managed to get a shirt & scarf by blagging my way to the front of the queue half way through the meet during a break & one of the ladies took pity on me. 10x better than the SEC the night before but it had rained non stop from 1pm friday to 9am saturday morning. It`s going to be fun on sunday for Leszno v Gorzow as that joker from Krsko GP - Artur Kusmierz is down to referee!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
