Havvy looking well compared to recent years. Good to see.

I'd be more concerned on why a guest for Cook whose chosen to ride in Poland over the club he captains personally!!

I thought Kerr did tonight what he was signed for. He won heat 14 and he had to do that. Let’s hope he continues to improve and his scoring going ahead reflects this.

Ridiculous that Wroclaw have to use Zach Cook tonight to replace Kurtz... They should be allowed to have used Zmarzlik, Jack Holder, Lindgren or Emil as a guest... Like a proper Speedway league would...😆

Thompson underwent surgery in Bangladesh this week . His wrist is now full of titanium so I’m hearing. On route home he fell out the back of the tuk tuk and sprained his other wrist so I’m told .

The ref was a Polish Michael Oliver who wanted to make the meeting all about himself tonight.

The club could be honest and pay Jensen for the point.

Tobias rider of the night.

A fast Flint. 😆 Funniest post on the forum this year! Well done.

I assume that’s the difference from racing for £1000 a points vs £100 a point. Never have the dedication here that they have there. I think Polish teams run the show there, riders run the show here because they are needed so desperately.

What time does the Lewi Kerr character assassination post usually happen at. Just so as I can get the popcorn on my way home. Thanks in advance.

How on earth does a fixture like this go ahead? Fixture planning at its finest, especially with so many gaps, surely a more suitable date could be found?

Roll Up! Roll Up! Form an orderly queue!

Really ? In no way was that anything other than a racing accident

Can’t understand why they haven’t graded that Berm on the outside

Some refs these days seem to have a burning desire to be the main attraction.

Not sure about the team managers decision not to give Masters the tac sub ride! Ok Jenkins was missing in heat 13 - just use Hook, then Sam as a tac sub for Hook in heat 14!

Great analysis, adding to this… next season Poland announced all teams do not need 2 Polish under 24s riders, but they will require 4 Polish riders in each team.

Poland has a perfect "how not to do this" model to ensure that they don't follow... The UK had the best riders and had great mainstream TV coverage in the 70's. Built on a hugely successful national team.. With the domestic leagues living off that interest . They then decided to bring in journeymen from all points of the globe to take up places UK riders used to get, thus, the conveyer belt of UK talent ground to a halt, and teams were no longer made up of "local lads" but overseas riders who got replaced like for like using a revolving door.. With the result that mainstream media dropped their coverage as the national team stopped winning. Beaten by riders the UK trained.. And domestic speedway crowds dropped accordingly.. Move forward to the late 90's and guestfests and doubling up/down started to became rife, because of the lack of riders, due to the fact UK lads were not coming through anymore due to the restricted chances of the previous decade.. Then the GP stars cleared off when the Sky money stopped and left clubs scrabbling around to make enough "decent teams". But inflation busting admission fee increases still took place year on year to see inferior riders race. As fans stopped going, those left, got charged more.. (a great plan).. Poland ensure that their national team is always "in the mix" as they know that this is what keeps national interest, and also ensure that their "conveyer belt" of talent keeps coming through by protecting places in every team for Poles.. They have even launched an U24 league to ensure they get the pick of all the best talent from around the globe, just in case not enough Poles come through of the right level.. Covering all bases in a controlled way.. What the UK did (and still does), Poland will avoid like the plague...

The argument about Starke or Ritchings is put to bed once and for all …. Still find it weird Poole fans thought Starke should go lol Poole do shout from the rooftops when they win and then have to blame a rider or two every time they lose …. Kerr Starke and Thomsen the match winners tonight ….

What is ridiculous is Zack cook was allowed to dump his British team to ride for Wrocław

Obviously im all for Gorzów it being my partners home city, but by the sounds of it, if they can stay in the league they can open up funds and build a solid team next year and come out swinging… that’s my hope anyway!

Do we need Zach Cook. Let him ride in Poland

Sensational result!!!

Ashley Holloway getting his weekly mention during an Ekstraliga broadcast.

Cannot imagine a similar situation in the UK. Well done to the track staff for at least giving it a go to get the track race-able. Time will tell if it works OK and hopefully safe riding for all.

We don't need a commentary, you'll only spit your dummy out when you lose.

Ratajczak developing into a very good rider. Steady progress....

Could be close unless Harrison picks up a shoulder injury.

Absolutely Sensational wont work then.

Manchester is right in the middle of Britain. Probably the fairest place to hold a G.P. to make sure it's equally accessible for everyone. You complain t's too far for you to travel from Ipswich? Manchester is 230 miles from Ipswich. Ipswich to Cardiff is 260 miles.

Have Poole fans written of this season already? Already planning for 2026

Something of a farce. Shame really, as Oxford was one of the meetings I was looking forward to. Sam Masters getting 7 rides is enough to induce sleep. Watching him dribble round the white line whilst half a lap ahead is not my idea of entertainment. I pay money to watch racing, not exhibitionism. He has the highest average of any rider in the Championship and is the only second tier rider with a Premiership average of over 7.00 (indeed, it's over 7.50!). "Look at me... dribble, dribble... I'm too good for this League... dribble, dribble... another win... Ker-ching!" Joy 🙁

Trouble is British Speedway is letting itself be trodden all over nowadays and then wonders where the crowds have gone.

I don't think riding in SGP/SGP2 qualifiers is taking the P out of British speedway. It's up to British speedway to schedule its fixtures better.

Then no one would have any riders! Championship is just a stepping stone to other leagues.

Ipswich showing why they called it early. Sheffield causing everyone to turn up only to be turned away.

Your complete lack of intelligence to read what I wrote before you replied is amusing. Firstly, I wrote " Manchester is right in the middle of Britain. Probably the fairest place to hold a G.P. to make sure it's equally accessible for everyone." Since I was talking about the fairest place to host the BRITISH Grand Prix, that would make sense to be the middle of BRITAIN. It wouldn't be very intelligent to leave out Scotland and Wales, and just go for the middle of England. What kind of fool would do that? Secondly I wrote "Manchester is 230 miles from Ipswich. Ipswich to Cardiff is 260 miles."' These distances don't change on a daily basis. They are fixed. Surely anyone with a reasonable intelligence level would understand that. I wasn't commenting on anyone not being able to get tickets on a Saturday because no one made any comment about not being able to get tickets on a Saturday. If someone later wants to dishonestly pretend that they said they couldn't get Saturday tickets, when they actually had said no such thing, then their dishonesty says more about them that anyone else. Let's hope they can learn from their mistakes, and make better posts in future.

Ref called it off after handing Magic a red card!

It looks like we may not have to put up with him parading the trophy round at The George again!!

Cami cami cami cami cami chameleon.🤣

What a great debute from Philip.

Very interesting listening to my partner translate the studio conversation back to English. They said “this is why every young rider needs to ride in Britain, Lampart rode overseas for a while and learnt how to ride the type of track we have tonight and he is flying, you need to adapt and learn as much as possible whilst young”.

Red card

Where can I get some of your ‘medication’ ? Easy home win.

Problem is Vuolas has been the most consistent comet (in a good way). Tate and batch have been the let downs but with a lack of available heatleaders would either get dropped? Bowes is still settling in whilst Hook and Foord are riding to their level. Sadly this year Workington is not a particularly well assembled team that relied upon Tate and Etheridge having a great year and thus far neither is.

I went to Newcastle one evening several years ago, and there were nearly as many in the pits as there were on the home straight!!!... Amazing that they closed...

The Reading Racers are well represented at the 2 Belle Vue GP’s lol Armando Phil Donkey
