What's wrong with producing a grippy track? As long as the track isn't dangerous, there should be no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Does anyone else think Czestochowa deliberately sabotaged the track due to them potentially having financial problems behind the scenes? I've been suspicious of this Czestochowa side for a while this season. Every meeting they have a couple of passengers and I wonder whether it's down to them not getting paid. Doyle has a few very poor meetings on the spin. Then it's Madsen's turn to have a few poor meetings on the spin. Then onto Lindgren & Przedpelski who also do the same as the two above. The only reason I can think of for the deliberate sabotaging of the track is because they haven't got the money to pay their riders. Otherwise why would you deliberately cost yourselves a play-off spot. Edited August 22, 2020 by KingoftheTrack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted August 22, 2020 There's a heck of a lot of money going into Polish speedway. Great, unless the spending's higher...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holder was riding I believe. Basically meaning that Iversen’s rides were covered by Zmarzlik, Holder and Thomson plus one other. Shows what faith Czesztochowa have in their own team mind....

Mr. Clemens 646 Posted August 22, 2020 Funny though int it that as soon as the spotlight focuses in on Polish Speedway it appears to implode on itself There are those in down town Lipnica Wielka who call it the English Speedway disease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really. I'd rather think they did that so Iversen will be back on track in a week from now and therefore Gorzów won't be able to use ZZ (Zastępstwo Zawodnika) rule for him.

That shows a difference between Wroclaw and Czesztochowa to me. Wroclaw putting faith in their team, desperate to get Holder there to make sure they have every chance of making the top 4 whereas Czesztochowa having no faith in their side at all.
