What an idiot the bloke is It has got nothing to do with Godfrey. This is why Phil Morris got the job to over see Premiership meetings. 6 hours ago, Arthur54 said: So much for fixed race nights, a joke Yes. Supposed to have Thursday as alternative race night for cancelled meetings. 5 hours ago, tocha said: In this instance Poland probably do have priority and this is why. Lublin v Krosno (Jack's club) was scheduled originally for 21st April but postponed and re-set for tonight. However, at that time Wolves were to be hosting round 1 of the Pairs so, had this gone again ahead, we would have retained priority. But as Wolves v Sheffield is a fixture change arranged after the Polish match had been re-scheduled, they get first call on his services. Two wrongs( postponed/fixture change meetings) do not make it right especially after a free weekend of Polish Ekstraliga fixtures on a GP weekend where they have, in the past, raced league meetings on the Sunday.(End of April for example.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,057 Posted May 15, 2023 https://britishspeedway.co.uk/premiership/holder-absence-explained/ Statement from Phil Morris. If you put it through translate it comes back as Morris saying, if you think I am about to defy my Polish masters you can think again. I will do what they say, even after the seventh, eighth, or ninth one off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put the onus on the riders and will you come up with the same result,they will drop GB in a flash over Poland.We’ve let’s all this happen over the years.

He didn't fall but might have collided with the fence as I think he was trying to put the brakes on before he hit someone in front! Would have been worse if he fell as I remember everyone being close together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been so long since any of "our" riders put in a shift for the Tigers, I'm surprised any of them remember their commitment to the yellow and blue. Even when the poles allow them to ride in the UK, they're all carrying injuries incurred elsewhere. The last time Musie rode for Tigers was April 6th, and by the time we fans get to see any of them again at home, it will be at least seven weeks since their previous outing at Owlerton. Building any sort of team camaraderie must be difficult for promoters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
