To be polite as I can, who cares what Poland think? They already agreed to host next year's GPs, so what if they only have 2 full time riders?
0h I won't argue with you, I think you're correct...... but 'politics' ......

Those are your 4 wild cards. Official announcement is tomorrow.
The FIM wanted to nominate Emil and Artem, but this was blocked by the PZM. Emil and Artem would have to ride under the Polish flag as FIM rules do not allow neutral athletes.
Speedway fans need to boycott the GP series. I would love to see the GP section of this forum closed down. That would send a strong message to the FIM.
Love you, Gumbo......😀
There's a real possibility that next years SGP series could have the greatest line up we've seen so far (in its current guise)......... I wish there were 5 WC choices available ha...... but will 'politics' play a part?
Disclosure, my ideal choices would be Doyle, Michelsen, Laguta, Sayfutdinov......
However, that would only put 2 official Poles in the series..... would Poland accept that?
Does Thomsen getting in, mean only 1 of Michelsen / Madsen get in?
Does the fact there are 3 Aussies in, mean Doyle may not get in?
Will there be a German / Czech (or both?) be put in for appeasement?
I hope my 4 get in (and I wouldn't cry too much if Madsen got in over Michelsen)....... But I fear 'people pleasing' will stop this......
Cheers all

Evening all...... at the risk of sounding stupid......if I want to watch this tonight...... I'm guessing it's not on BSN...... can I sign up to Discovery + on a pay per view contract...... I'm struggling to find a way I can watch....... cheers for any help

I hope he does repeat history, but let’s be honest based on his recent form I don’t see him finishing top 6.
Ah it was more to do with a new rider coming in, and surprising everyone. I love Tai, he got me back into watching the GPs........ I'm not convinced he should be there next season (though I'm happy he is)

One thing I will say, several years ago (?2013), Tai Woffendin was given a wildcard, probably due to nationality. Cue much mirth and derision (sponsored by Audi, 0000) etc......... and look how that turned out.......

That could well be the case. I also wonder if strong representations have been made /are being made to try and get Becker in?
I possibly wouldn't be against that.....
So, maybe,
Zmarzlik
Lindgren
Vaculik
Holder
Masden
Lambert
Kvech
Michaelsen (?sp)
Bewley
Ledbedevs
Becker
Doyle
Wozniak
(Ideal world)
Laguta
Sayfutdinov
If not the Russians (Poles), then
Woffinden
A N Other (? Thomson)

No Fricke, Magic or Dudek apparently
That would surely add weight to Ledbedevs (sp?) being in......

That’s very kind of you, thank you. I suspect you’re correct, between claims and counter claims we’ll probably never know the full truth. At least in Wolves’ situation the fans have been told there definitely won’t be speedway next year, but the plan is to return in ‘25. They have that hope to cling on to. The Peterborough fans at the moment don’t even have that, it seems as though it’s a case of “that’s it” unfortunately. It needs further, fuller explanations from those involved rather than leaving the supporters with so many unanswered questions.
I'd love to give a huge reply to this, articulate a massive response, but I feel, quite simply, you're 100% correct, and you've said everything that needs saying........ sad times for the whole of British Speedway...... cheers

Chapman is no saint, not many people are. But I’m struggling to understand where the likes of you and Flappy are coming from here with regards to Keith Chapman. do you genuinely believe that Chapman has refused a cash offer to buy the club, and instead plans to just close it down for nothing out of pure spite and lose the money offered? Why would he do that? He’s a business man he’s not daft.
Hi Aries, hope you're well.......
I've read, and totally (I think) understood all your posts tonight........ I've seen no threats by you at all, just you urging caution that people don't libel themselves on this forum, if anything, you've been a voice of reason, not in so much as you're banging a drum, simply you seem to be saying 'people, be careful'...... I've liked the approach......
I'm a Panthers fan, started (?) late 70s or early 80s, NL days, Andy Hines, Richard Greer, Mick Hines, Dave Allen, Andy Buck, Ian Barney (apologies to the other legends I've missed)..... became lost to the sport, then pretty much came back due to Tai Woffinden ridiculously winning his first title....... what I'm trying to say is that when I first started watching P'bro, the EOES was almost rural, just off the A1, nearest houses probably in Alwalton...... over the years, P'bro has spread massively, so that now it's a proper part of the city.... and in my eyes, therein lies the problem...............
I personally don't think it's impossible that KC has met developers, and they've said, 'we'll make it worth your while to go quietly'..... it might be highly improbable, but not impossible........ and any potential (ahem) future sponsorship of KL would be worth significantly more than selling an air fence, a name, a couple of tractors... developers have a lot of cash........
I guess people like ourselves will never know the full truth..... and so the claims will always carry on....
Cheers
Edited to add that I forgot the Aussies..... Mick Poole, Ron Schliebs, Craig Hodgson (RIP)... plus the others....

Apologies, this may sound stupid, I can be quite naïve at times, but is a drugs test, checking your pee? Coz I had a pee 40 minutes ago, and no way could I do another one right now (though I'm 51, so probably Mr Prostate has something to do with that)....... would they let you drink a couple of litres of water? Purely interested / curious, that's all

Nicki left his loyal wife and traded her in for a cheap tart.
That's the kind of man he is.
Your close to the line there... But you already know that.
Surely that's all a metaphor........... BRF is saying P'bro is the loyal wife, the Polish club are the cheap tart............

Early to mid 80's, driving from Stamford to EOES (?12 miles), Hereward Radio on, unsure of the opponents, heard that the meeting was off because (?) a tornado had hit the pits and took the roof off........ turned round at the A47 ha.........

Oooooh ......... Wiggins..........

I'll agree with you that generally it is, l don't know if you saw the Polish play off final but there were 2 clear examples of how to and how not to team ride. When Gorzow were struggling to build up any kind of lead during their home leg I remember 1 race where Wozniak was struggling to hold 2nd place while Zmarlik was blasting around 30 yards clear at the front and Wozniak really could have done with his help. Then the best bit of team riding I've seen in years was Pawlicki doing all he could to get Pludra home for the win in the final race of the season, was a joy to watch.
Wasn't it just........ I was even shouting at my laptop

If Tai lets GB use his bikes, our chances are slightly better than I thought they were going to be

Hi R&R...... hope you don't mind, you seem a font of knowledge........ I clicked that link, and on it it says 4 time World Champion........ where did the 4th one come from?

Tai wasn't really though was he? He wasnt a top rider in Poland, he was a rank outsider who was almost universally tipped to finish last...
Yeah, I remember at the time (and this isn't meant as a dig as such, I don't think anyone thought he'd win it) that he should be sponsored by Audi (OOOO).........

They all pulled out of the Golden Helmet final( i think it was) at short notices with flimsy excuses. The Polish authorities didn`t take kindly to that !!!
Ah, thanks buddy

His own fault getting banned( along with Piotr Pawlicki and Drabik)
Hi RnR, apologies if this is obvious, but what was he (and they) banned for?
2025 GP line up/wildcards
in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Posted · Edited by JC71
Who would you like to see as wildcards, btw? .... I'm not trying to argue, just wondering..........
