ladyluck 1 Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Tomasz Gollob will he be true to his word and quite speedway due to the threat to his life????? http://www.speedway365.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2339:poland-to-use-new-silencers&catid=317:polish-news&Itemid=598 I don't think Gollob ever threatened to quite or even quit speedway. If he did, then it would seem obvious that since he has ridden the new silencer in the GPs and Sweden it's unlikely that he will follow through with the threat. It seems a reasonable decision for the GKSZ to make, given that the riders have capitulated rather pathetically. Once the ring leaders decided it was more important for them to race in the GPs and earn money in Sweden than fight for what they believed in, what was the point in the GKSZ carrying on their prior policy. That policy was driven by the riders. I don't think the PZM or GKSZ ever had much of an issue with the new silencer. It remains to be seen what the fans will make of it. Judging from the comments on sportowefakty.pl, not a lot seems to be the answer. Edited May 16, 2011 by ladyluck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,686 Posted May 16, 2011 It remains to be seen what the fans will make of it. I think that is the most important thing. If the rest of Europe is anything to go by it won't make a difference but the Poles are by far the most passionate fans in the World regarding speedway and if they don't like it, it won't take long for everyone to know about it. I'm not sure but I think they can still use the 2010 as well as the 2011 silencers. I don't think they've made 2011 compulsory so the difference may not be so noticeable?????

No, happy to do so, although by my reckoning it's 16 May, but a day is neither here nor there. Now, will you admit that it is wrong that Przemyslaw Pawlicki is alone among riders who raced between eight and eleven meetings last season not to have been given an average from those eight to eleven meetings?

YES and there are countless other decisions taken by the BSPA that appear to be out of synch with the actual rules. Which is just one of many reasons why the administration of domestic speedway in the UK needs a radical overhaul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you would agree with me that the best outcome of the winter dispute would've been for Coventry and Peterborough to have been excluded from the Elite League?
