After another couple of wonderful days of Polish action, trust British Speedway to bring us all down to earth with it's utterly farcical rules, which we insist are a necessary evil, even though no other Speedway league in the world employs them! What do you suggest then???? Can't sustain a squad system over here and R/R for a number one is a no no ....why don't Swindon and it's supporters just suffer and run with 6 riders? That better?

Well, each team having a contracted no 8 from the Championship would be a stsrt now there's no race night clash. Effectively you are then employing a squad system. I mean, Torun wont replace Doyle with a rider of equal standing from their squad will they, so they will be weakened by it. It's part and parcel of credible sport. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if only temporary... Or let any of the six Swindon riders take all his rides up to a maximum of seven rides for any of them.. Eg Batchelor and Musielak could take two each and still ride Heat 15.. Thats what other sports would do... As would the same sport in Poland and Sweden.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Carter 62 Posted May 6, 2019 A few questions from the weekends polish racing that I hope someone on here might be able to help with - How come Janowski didn't take his last race for Wroclaw? He didn't appear after his crash with Buckowski. - is there bad blood between Gorzow & ZG ? The crowd seem really pumped up and Protisewicz & Vaculuk particularly so. Perhaps the latter as it's his ex team - Doyle any update after his crash? Looked a heavy fall but I thought Zagatr excl. was a home decision - Okay, this really gets my goat, (and is more if a comment that a question) I've seen this a few times this year where a crashed rider gets up and quickly as his team mate is leading and clears the track only for the ref to stop the race. It's happened twice against Lublin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really surprised by that from Magic he was up so quickly to check on Buckowski. Supposed to hurt like hell as well breaking a collar bone. Tough lads! Doyle also sounds really painful but that crash looked really nasty. Must be doubtful for the first sgp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got myself a 'firestick' for the season and have watched every match so far.. WOW! How Speedway truly could be is the over riding impression.. Can't do British Speedway much good I would think though with so many UK fans now having access to what's on offer in Poland.. Must confess, I haven't attended anywhere so far this year, but will be there at the SON on Saturday.. As an aside. It was interesting how many starting issues there were at Swindon the other night, yet in Poland there seems to be total compliance to the rules. With the Start Marshall even ensuring all are arrow straight with no rider allowed to be pointing at an angle.. Something to learn over here? Anyhow, many thanks R and R for all your updates, much appreciated.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyhow, many thanks R and R for all your updates, much appreciated.. I was thinking exactly the same as i watched on Monday. If the start marshall pulled everyone tight up to the tapes as he does in Poland it very much reduces the opportunity to roll forward and get a flyer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
