If only it had a tenth of that.... Great to see Dan putting two excellent performances in... Certainly made a big contribution to the overall win... Got to be in the SON....

Robinh88 571 Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Great to see a different winner in Poland. Over a decade ago when I first started watching Poland, Wroclaw were a tough watch on track and the racing was never much to write home about. Fast forward a decade or so and the club have transformed gradually over time. Superb stadium which now hosts one of the best race tracks in the world. Whoever runs operations at Wroclaw deserves huge credit. The planning and execution has been fantastic to follow.

Full marks to Lublin, it's very rare that you see the team that comes second smiling and enjoying themselves at the presentation. Superb TV presentation in all the meetings today , it makes our TV companies speedway presentation look quite amateurish, although BT aren't too bad with the GPs, would much rather have Polish commentators though on BT and Eurosport 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They sure did, I have the pleasure of remembering those days...full stadiums, crazy fans yelling their heads off and some great racing...... Polish speedway is ENTERTAINMENT plus, and a lot of professionalism thrown in and first class stadiums........I guess that's what money can do when spent in the right places. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted September 26, 2021 That final was a shambles and unfair. One side was so much stronger than the other. Say what you want about the BSPA but the guest system makes meetings fairer. Lublin should have been allowed a guest like Dudek for Laguta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stewmac 476 Posted September 27, 2021 And it wasn't just full at Wrocław. This was at Ostrów whose capacity is 12,000 earlier in the day - rammed to the gunnels and an absolutely electric atmosphere. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
