Gasser90 229 Posted August 21, 2023 The club should have invited some of the council and aepg to watch this tonight! That was some of the best speedway I’ve seen in a long time. This city needs speedway 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeW436 597 Posted August 21, 2023 Surely they will be doing the maths in Sheffield tomorrow morning to try fit Woffinden Holder and Musielak into a side? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said re the pronunciation thing surely a bit of prep and asking the rider so how do you pronounce your name might be in order - Polish isn’t an easy language for us in the U.K. but writing it out phonetically would be a start - I was most surprised to see that Łódź is pronounced ‘wuj’ and I actually only learned that from a travel Tv show! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emil does the same as you say but you don't hear him being called Polish, just poor all round like the camera work most of the while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This city needs speedway For me personally as someone who has only been following speedway a few years, that was the best meeting I’ve ever been too & that heat 15 was unbelievable… iversen keeping woffinden who was on a max behind him for 4 laps, absolutely unreal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair to me I generally know the difference between a native Polish name and Russian one as well - although ‘enko and ‘chenko usually denotes a Ukrainian name. ‘Ov usually denotes Russian. So at first I did wonder if Tarasenko was Ukrainian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted August 21, 2023 Would of thought there would of been something said during the meeting about the showground situation unless they were told to say nothing at this stage , Nicholls asked Wojdylo if he wanted to comeback again next year , but suppose he could of meant to the Uk and not specifically Peterborough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
