Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a speedway equivalent of the Champions League?

Poland's champions Wroclaw riding against Britain's champions would be a very close affair over two legs.

There was one a few years back, seems to have fizzles out into nothing, whether that was to do with Covid or not I don't know. Weren't Poole and/or Eastbourne involved?

Did the GB Speedway team parade the SoN trophy around to the fans?

No

That's disappointing. I don't know why British Speedway stuggles with fan engagement so much... surely would have been an obvious thing to do.

There was a European League mooted years before Covid, and it was Poole that were entertaining the idea in the UK, but it never got off the ground.

Don't know why people are complaining about paying £15 for the stream, you either pay or don't,

4 of us traveled up from Workington, probably at a cost  of £50 each by the time you paid admission,program food and petrol thoroughly enjoyed the racing, we could have paid for the stream and sat at home, but watching speedway on the terraces is miles better

Exactly you don’t have to watch it.

Any news on the injured riders.?

I believe both Adam Ellis and Dominic Kubica have dislocated shoulders.

Wishing them a speedy recovery.

One big issue was that all riders wanted to get paid at Polish Extraliga rates which simply could not be afforded in every country.  Aside from that you also had the problem of Riders in more than one team! Who gets priority etc?

To be fair, they might have been planning to after the meeting, but obviously didn't get a chance to because of how it finished.

It was a bit of a shame though.

Watched the stream last night.  

The stream was very good (although I knew that, already had two from Glasgow this year), while some good racing on display. A real pity about the big crash in Heat 13 and hope the shoulder injuries aren't too bad.

Could someone in attendance confirm why there was such a long gap between Heat 8 and Heat 9? It seemed strange to have such a long gap at this point, with the rain on its way. Although I think by the time they'd have sorted out the injury riders from Heat 13, there wouldn't have been a chance to hold the final three races before the rain, even without the extended gap between 8 and 9.
