Lublin have scored a fair few heat wins from losing positions... Will take a very good team to beat them... Maybe Wroclaw if their top four are 100% bang on form? The people setting the odds seems to have more faith in Czestochowa rather than Wroclaw, problably because Czestochowa are the only ones who are able to match up with Lublin when it comes to the u21 riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,291 Posted August 21, 2022 Gorzow going to need Bartek to deliver 35 points or so combined over both legs now I would think to have any chance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not necessarily but possibly- i will repeat again what i have posted more than once - 2 new play-off result mini leagues will be created with the 3 winners in one and the 3 losers in the other - these will be on match points and then race points. best loser (4) goes through to meet no 1 in the winners table and 2 v 3 in the winners table completes the semi`s.(over 2 legs) Edited August 21, 2022 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly right apart from 2 things 1 they met team 6 in the play-off 1st round- the weakest team 2 in the event of a tie in the mini league, finishing position in the regular season finishes higher.which could mean the difference between going forward or not.

TTT 1,229 Posted August 21, 2022 When your luck's out it's out. Gorzow's season is basically over now. Czestochowa are the team to watch out for purely because they've got a fully fit 1-7 while other teams are one injury away from becoming a 5 man team.

Bigger crowds than they got for league speedway, totally geared towards the fans experience, 25+ races per meeting for £12 and I’m pretty sure the British upright meeting was 16 speedway bikes as was the 3 team tournament last week featuring national league riders ,you call it gimmicks I call it entertainment Edited August 21, 2022 by THE DEAN MACHINE 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do the Isle Of Wight offer? League Speedway given the way it is ran has been allowed to become a farce in the UK, so fair play to the IOW for realising that and doing their own thing.. When not held back by having to follow an unfit for purpose operating model, it shows what can be done.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
