Wow...the "trophies" were as bad as the racing.

Another poor advert for the sport.

I feel sorry for Nicholls having to spend his birthday watching that

HE'S fine ... and a good bet for this evening

 

 

Great shout Philip, hope you backed your instinct, well done.

Todays Adrenalina's (Has A.J been given any nickname in Your country?) performance lets me have quite high hopes for a win of my Falubaz wth Wroclaw tomorrow. Love this guy! He considers himself a "Falubaz". In 2013 he wanted to sign 10 years long contract and therefore end his carreerin my town. Shamefully, my team's managers didn't agree.

 

Yes, we call him AJ.

The two stars for me was Harris & Doyle, neither of them throw towel in & battled for every point

I slept thru this one from comments i see on here i did not miss much if there was no crowd what is the point of those speedway killing temp tracks.

[OveFundinFan 4,143]

That was 100% an awful meeting. Where was the crowd, must have been just a few thousand there, and the track was simply bad, not a race track at all, not a lot of passing, most races won from the gate.

 

Why persist going to these pretty places with tracks which rate rock bottom as far as racing goes.

 

And as said, where is the show next week.... Prague. Yes a beautiful city but not a racing track.

 

I'm beginning to despair and say the same as some others have indicated.... the sport is dying if this is the best it can dish up.

 

Big shake up needed from the top down.

Not a good advert for speedway But speedway on the tele must be good right

[tocha 308]

I've a good book for you by Raymond Chandler, 'The Big Sleep.'

What a bugger that the Gp in Tampere was on the same day as the womens institute was holding their annual knitting event.Must have knocked thousands off the gate

[YerRopes 3,009]

Didn't see all of tonight's meeting and for that I am very grateful...

 

Forget individual countries and just race on the best tracks - ie Bydgoszcz

[oleoleole 227]

Regarding the empty stadium, what did BSI expect. The racing last year was awful, I doubt many who were there would have bothered again. We sat there last year as the stadium emptied as the meeting went on. By the last few races two thirds of the crowd had left. Surely alarm bells must have been ringing somewhere?

 

There needed to be drastic and well documented track improvements and perhaps a reduction in prices to tempt people back.

 

However, a year on, the track was even worse and ticket prices started at €55.

 

Anybody up for another Tampere SGP next year?
