customhouseregular 1,651 Posted April 18, 2015 Looking at the International fixtures that matter I note that Poland have 3 GP's, The GP Challenge Final, a World Cup round, 2 rounds of the European Championship and a round of the World Pairs. Contrast that with Britain where we have a World Cup round and the Cardiff GP, long touted as Speedway's "Flagship" event but soon to lose that mantle to Warsaw I fear. For 70 years Britain was the place every speedway rider had to be if he wanted to reach the top. Britain was the home of the World Championship and home to all the major meetings that really mattered. Now, not only do riders need to ride in Britain if they want to reach the top, World Champions often decline to ride in Britain at all preferring Poland, Sweden and Denmark. From being the "Head" of the Speedway family for so long, we are now truly the poor relations. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
