Bit like signing for Scunny and then saying I'm off if Sheff are in one league, Shotgun load, point at foot, pull trigger, repeat.

The thing what a lot of people don’t get about polish speedway is you can’t have an off day or even a slightly off day, some clubs worse than others,Pickering would probably had a bollocking for not scoring enough points even though they took him out his ride, it is a different mentality over there than it is in England, over here clubs understand you are human and not everyday you’re at your best but over there you are a machine and if the machine is not a full production they not happy especially if they don’t win but in Poland one thing you don’t do is threaten not to come back next week 

Thanks for letting the bsf know,I expect you've saved thousands making a wasted journey 🙄

My first season as a Comets fan was 1970 (Ian Thomas/ Geoff Brownhutt brought speedway to Derwent Park)and you didn't know when attending a Friday night meeting that there would be 'Silver helmet' match races - not until you saw the trophy sitting on the table next to the starting gate. But it was good to have that extra treat for your speedway fix. One night stands out for me about the silver helmet in 1973. Comets had heavily outscored Berwick, the visiting rider Jones(?) had custody of helmet so top scoring Comet would challenge the Bandit. However 4 Comets were points-wise able to take this challenge on i.e. Lou Sansom, Taffy Owen, Mal McKay and Mitch Graham - so to decide who would be the Bandits opponent the shortest straw drawn (in pits)would do the business. The announcer told the crowd Mitch Graham will be Comets rider - at which point many of the crowd booed loudly - I recall being very very annoyed with these so called Comets fans. However the boos soon changed to cheers as Mitch won the helmet....but he lost it next night boo hooo.

That's fast approaching, especially with Christmas in between

Not now happening on Saturday 20th as the new stock has not arrived (held up in shipping apparantly). If stock arrives in time then the Poole track shop will be open next week before Xmas - watch out for more news on the club's socials!!
