I know there are rumours but when will all the 2009 GP dates become official. I want to book my two Polish trips early. Cheers Ped

Are you serious, Richardson for Nicholls. That is crazy. I was at Zielona Gora for the GP challenge. And as for people saying at this stage Tai is better, how totally ridiculous. He doesnt even ride in the Elite League and is a reserve in Poland.

You have to remember he rode at reserve all season though, that contributed to his high average. Still very good tho.

Whats the best way to get to Ljubljana and how far is it from the speedway. Cheers

Booked flights already for Poznan. Going to go to one other not decided yet. Been to Bydgoszcz a few year in a row might change this time. Hungary would be good, if not what does everyone think of Slovenia.

Yeah the meeting was just okay. The track was as bad as it was for the GP or is it always like that. Lot of good meetings in Poland but some really poor ones as well. Unfortunately its the bigger meetings that are poor.

Why Holder surely it should be the World under 21 Champion

Absolutely no way was Nicki not going to ride. He was at practice yesterday.

Bit like most GP's this year then.

Good job the Aussies ride in British Speedway. Take the ELRC last night for example, Crump, Adams, Holder, Watt, Batchelor and Schlien all rode and made the meeting half decent. The Brits, Swedes and Danes all had various excuses. They are a credit to british Speedway. No I dont support them, but boy do we need them.

I think one or two British fans dont like him either.

Admin. Please help this deletion. This Forum is turning nasty and we dont need it. I dont always appreciate it but we British are a very fair minded nation. I would not dream of joining a Polish Speedway Forum and slagging their riders off. Take Tomasz Gollob out of the equation and they have no top riders either, they are not exactly global superstars.

I am neither of the above. I am a pure speedway fan who sees it as it is, and have no obvious vendettas like you have about Scotty and I really like Tomasz Gollob, love going to poland and the Polish people, and I agree Jason went down easily, but Tomasz did clip him, so end of story he had to be excluded. Ped

Yeah, been to Poland quite a few times. The atmosphere can be a bit intimidating at times, although they do treat the British very well. I was in Bydgoszcz two weeks ago and the atmosphere just died when they realized Tomasz was not going to win.

That is more like football talk, not really speedway.

With reference to the Dryml Nicholls incident, I think Dryml should have been excluded for unfair riding. It was dangerous, stupid and there is no place in speedway for such riding.

I agree Crump went down easily but Tomasz did touch him and he did not need to. We had it replayed lots of times on Sky and there was contact. It was very reckless he was so fast he and should have waited his time. It was a referee decision that could have gone either way.

I would never congratulate him. In Bydgoszcz he was the only rider who refused to sign my flag. Yes it was an English flag but so what, we all wear our country's colour's. There was a lot of us English fans around at the time and everyone was disgusted. In the past I have stuck up for him but never again. He was rude ignorant and if he doesn't like the English he should stay away.

Cheers I must have tried to download the Premium version. It asked me to pay. Ped

Do you have to pay a subscription to play Sopcast. Ped

Hi everyone, cases packed, all ready for Stanstead tomorrow morning. See you there. Really looking forward to seeing our Polish friends again, Mama, Tommy, Mateusz etc. I cannot wait. Ped, Trev & Steve.

Sandie we will be having a drink in wetherspoons after checking in, please join us. How will I recognise you. If not Roosters tomo night in the Square. Ped

Anyone know if this list is the draw for riding order.

The bar beside the pits entrance makes for a good afternoon. Its also a good atmosphere after the meeting.
