Do you seriously think that wasn’t dealt with it probably is time for your bed. -
Team building averages balance things up as you know ...and the teams won't be losing spadefuls of cash as many are right now. That's the main point of the shake up.

That person was removed and banned from the club for all future fixtures -
I know its just your opinion and you don't have to like who does what but to leave off your list the people you don't care about or like is an incomplete list .

Absolutely ridiculous, and just one of many decisions that defy sanity made by the tools in charge How can anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together support a system where some riders are credited more points than they earned, and others less. Just allocate points earned during heats, and for the final.

Tram back to the pub was simples, and free for over 65's! First time at Wroclaw but enjoyable, even if the meeting didn't match last years. The scrum to get in for the sprint was shambolic though, with ticket sales next to the Woffinden disco so no one could hear each other. The foul language from the people running that was unpleasant too, including from a former world speedway champion. I only hope some of the youngsters didn't understand, but I am probably being naive. Anyway all to play for in Vojens, but can anyone seriously see beyond Zmarzlik, who was different class tonight until the final race.

Clearly a lot more tickets were sold than seats tonight, there were hundreds of fans standing at the back of the seats and to the annoyance of the seated in the isles too and the seats were fulll, enjoyed the GP anyway good atmosphere in the stadium, taxi back to the hotel was interesting, driver spoke Russian and polish but no English and wasn’t sure of the way and was asking me the way (well I think that’s what he was saying) and the car was making some strange noises and engine management light and air bag lights were flashing on the dash and at one point opened the door at some traffic lights and I thought he was getting out, on to Gorzow tomorrow

Night night time for me but just to answer any enquiries there was a rather unsavory reaction to Leicester winning the title in 2019 at Ashfield. Yes, a pint was thrown. No, Glasgow didn't win the league. @Gazc Very professional. -

Apart from when a pint was thrown at a rider. You remember that night? -
Now the 2025 season is coming to an end whats peoples thoughts on whats best for next season.

Why has there been no competition, though? Is it because Bartosz is just that much better than anyone else? People talk about the era of Crump, Adams, Pedersen, etc. as some kind of golden age, and they were all great riders, but you could make the same argument. Gollob only won a single world title (beating Hampel) - did he only win because he had no competition? Hancock won 2 world titles with Kasprzak and Jonsson behind him each time, hardly bulletproof. I think it's very harsh to crab Bartosz for not having any competition when this is his 10th season as a GP regular, and he's had zero competition aside from Laguta until now? Was 3x World Champion Woffinden not competition in 2020 when he walloped him by 16 points?
-
BZ, for me, would be in the Fundin, Craven, Briggs, Mauger, Olsen, Collins, Penhall, Nielsen, Trick, Gundersen, Crump,, Hancock and Pedersen pantheon of "all time greats" from the 50's onwards.. You could drop BZ into any era and he would be very, very special... I remember ten years or so BZ being marked out as a future World Champ.. They weren't wrong were they?
-
Under the old systems it seemed like all the points were kind of contained within the race... no going back to see who beat who in previous races and then reaching for a conversion chart to translate race points scored to position finished in to series points gained... I maintain the only way in which the current scoring system works is with 1 race containing all 16 riders over 80 laps... it's ridiculous!

That's what happened with Victor P at Edinburgh - the regs simply state 6 meetings and no longer 3 home/3 away.... -
Have to disagree mate in past eras especially before the GP,s where every rider had to qualify through difficult rounds and there was far more hard riding opponents wouldnt just open the door, take out Brady theres been no competition apart from Laguta for one season. Its about opinions but the sport today is far removed from what it has been, in any sport you cant compare different times. Usyk has acheived more than Ali was he greater, could each have adapted to different eras? I think when talking about sporting greats we have to look at their particular era.
-
Although the racing didn't live up to expectations there was still a fair bit of drama towards the end. Have to feel for Max after 3 really hard fought wins, at least he walked away seemingly unscathed though, could've easily been more serious. Fair play to Brady for taking it to Bart like he has, it would be great if the showdown in Vojens can go close to the final before being decided, ideally Bart not qualifying and Brady just scraping the overall win by the odd point, perfect. Also well done to Dan Bewley, Freddie handed him 3rd place on a plate tonight but he still had to graft to make it to the final. Back in November, I think it was, I put 2 e/w bets on the Series winner, Brady @ 40/1 and Dan @13/2, here's hoping.

I'm sure I could fathom it out if I bothered to look into it. I just haven't. Presumably it's always been like that anyway with regards to semi final qualification etc., even going back to the A, B, C, D final. For example, today Doyle and Michelsen both scored 10, but in that old system one would have been in the A final and one would have been in the B final. For me, I was never that keen on the race points counting as GP points. I felt it made the final less interesting.
