But we train well apparently, according to the hipster fraud in charge.

Sometimes it can be easier said than done.Like I say talk is cheap.

No Erik: https://ligue-nationale-speedway.fr/match/lns-moutl-2025-marmande?fbclid=IwY2xjawNGCa9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETA2ZUp1dFEzdThINERKa2VWAR6Q9Y81mEobKOvIdbVwpOrGqJsBzqyPJvU2LC5qjj8JpJxf2gEGrPTJTmCHcQ_aem_Jj8I4hfROowd7Sy432029Q

Even the Oxford guy is a better manager than Martin. In fact when I managed our under 15's football team I would fancied myself to be better than Martin.

Villads turned up limping with his ankle and shoulder both strapped up and had to take the strapping off his ankle so he could not get his boot on , and after his crash in ht one he hurt his wrist and I could not believe he was going to go out for his second ride but he did. He was struggling to hold on to the bike Villads is a tough kid but he had to pull out of his meeting in Germany next day to be fit for the SON

See Erik was down to ride in a meeting at marmande in France alongside Jason Edward’s anyone know how he got on?

Jake is working today. He works at a golf club & its Ryder Cup final day so as you can imagine they would not let him off.

I’ve been waiting on a Glasgow fan reacting to this post but it might land better from one of us. You have obviously never seen the lad when fit. He was superb the last 2 times we were at Glasgow and he most certainly has a huge future in Speedway

And their tendency to behead journalists might make the job of Speedway Star tricky

27.09.2025: 3rd/4th place playoff final 2nd leg, Grudziądz v Wrocław: https://vk.com/video-53550004_456242461

Every track would be like Bristol, hmm how did that work out again? 😉

Couldn’t make it but I thought with the line up it would be a good meeting. Solid line up for a Saturday late afternoon. Interesting to see who turns up for Doyle’s next year, Aussie boys normally stick together and come out for a testimonial so I’d expect similar line up, maybe with C. Holder, don’t think Doyle and J. Holder gets on very well though do they? Glad to see Douglas winning it as well! I do like the Leicester riders, if I wasn’t an Ipswich fan I’d be hoping they could do the double. First ever time visiting Hydroscan next month so hoping the atmosphere is good 👍🏼

Comments like 'go and hang yourself' are simply unacceptable whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation!!

A Polish chap spoke to me as we were checking out of hotel in Grudziądz this morning, asked if I enjoyed the meeting. After a brief exchange he said the trouble was caused by a few youths and that the Polish Police are far too lenient these days.

Outstanding tbf

Fair enough! I think British speedway is just too far gone to ever bring back to the heights it used to be at. Literally the only way, I personally, could see the sport get bigger than Poland is if a random Saudi got involved in it like golf, boxing and other sports they have ploughed money into, but that was only to grow it in their country and show their country to be good for tourism as well (I know Turki loves his boxing though). Imagine speedway in the desert… what would have more dust, brum or Saudi? 😂

Yes, only lost when Scott and Ritchings, and Scott and Clouting unable to ride.

Also consider that there would need to be multiple race nights in addition to Mon & Thurs which would rule out riders who compete in Poland, Sweden & Denmark. In that scenario even 5 man teams would not be possible.

Ambition is one thing but coming halfway round the world into totally different cultures and expect to be riding every day in different counties that seems to be the problem. Complaining of no sleep and contestant travelling etc. Uk needs riders so establish yourself here first then look to Europe when you’re good enough.

Rider number 1 does not often win an individual meeting due to track conditions changing after every 4 heats. Can only recall it happening once ia a GP.

I think they had MPT booked but considering recent performances r/r would be better but not sure why Jake Allen cant do it .

Appreciate the points, my post was a bit of a sweeping generalisation. Not meant to knock Poland, I’ve been there plenty and it’s a lovely place (from what I’ve seen), more to the point that we could and should do a better job than almost anyone at promoting speedway. Realistically the sport here has to step back now to achieve that rather than trying to build on sand for yet another winter.
