You need to follow the Extraleague thread on the international section and if you did you would find out that at 6.30pm they are showing all 15 heats delayed of the Leszno v Lublin match in a hour and then at 7.30pm it`s live Zielona Gora v Grudziadz Edited June 27, 2020 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least they are promoting their own riders. By the way, I don’t really count passes between the start and the entrance to the third bend as that’s just skirmishing, so I’ll need to look at the replay, if I have more time to waste, to see how many after that there were. I, too, agree with your 1st part & I also disregard gate stats. Good gates gets you to the 1st corner, end of! What happens in the rest of the race( 3 & 3/4 of a lap) has nothing to do with gating.

Germany has just discovered what happens if you release lockdown too early. Germany's instance (the R rate)was highlighted as being mainly, from a meat packaging firm.

I don’t know the Polish rules - I thought the reserves had to be Polish but didn’t realise there were other restrictions. And I’ve just read up about the new German lockdown - 1,500 new cases and 500,000 back in lockdown suggests that they have released lockdown, or certainly some of the lockdown rules, too early. 1 hour ago, IronScorpion said: Germany's instance (the R rate)was highlighted as being mainly, from a meat packaging firm.

Mimmo 1,070 Posted June 28, 2020 I watched my first ever Polish League match that I recorded on Friday night on Freeview 64, between Leszno & Wroclaw, and have to say I found it all very disappointing. The races in general were no better than National League standard in this country, and the tractor racing was on a par with what we get here. I'm looking forward to seeing if this coming Friday is any better, which hopefully it will be, but thank goodness I can turn the sound off, where on earth did they get that commentator from? As I said at the start, it's the first time I've ever bothered to watch a Polish meeting, are they normally quite good? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tracks, the stars, the atmosphere, the professionalism. i could go on and on. There is no tractor racing in Polish speedway just 100% commitment in every race. Dave Goddard does a decent job- he knows his Speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff100 1,426 Posted June 28, 2020 From what i have seen after just a couple of weeks the tracks look mostly the same size and shape, very little dirt on them alot of gate and go, and being honest i have being bored after a few races and this from a fanatic for the last 50 yrs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am mostly of the same opinion. But others have a different one, as in most topics . You’ll only upset the others it seems. But both sides must accept the opposite opinion. There are some great races and good meetings in Poland, but I don’t have the patience mostly to trawl through a meeting I have no connection or strong feeling to, in the hope of seeing one Edited June 28, 2020 by iris123 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Sidney 292 Posted June 28, 2020 I confess I am with Mimmo, Geoff and Iris123 here. I have seen great races and good meetings, but no more than here. The best riders do not necessarily result in the best races. That said, I would like to go to see a match live as the atmosphere must be something to experience Each to their own. I understand and accept that many see it differently. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
