  1. Or to paraphrase... It is all Mickey Mouse Bollox in the UK, but we still do our very best to pretend it means something... When are they going to at least try to make what they present have some credibility? Before it is too late ..

  5. Totally agree and I just wish that the wider public could see the sport is this light with split second decisions on powerful machines with no brakes. It takes skill and not many sports can match it. Today in Poland you have seen riders crash at high speed and get up and back on the bike in the rerun. Either they are mad or calculated risk takers, whichever, I appreciate the effort and you can ask for no more.

  10. I think you might have your work cut out there! If Becker isn’t fit to take his place tomorrow, it is possible that Danny King could guest for the Lions (think they might go with R/R though). If King did guest, you would have to tell your mates that King and Brennan actually ride for the same team (Ipswich) but neither of them are riding for their own team and will be riding against each other😂. If that doesn’t put them off and they want to attend further meetings, you should become a promoter!

  14. Good entertaining meeting, Toruń deserved winners, it’s never a good look moaning about another rider when you have been owned numerous times on your own track

  16. Think Bartosz played it safe and got off,don’t think he would have complained if he had been excluded. There was some brilliant moves by class riders in that meeting.Bartosz is a class above though.

  24. Nope. Straight back to the pits too. He didn’t even acknowledge the Poole fans standing beside the pit gate who, fair play to them, were passionate all night.

  27. Ridiculous that Riss and Mulford are missing this match,to ride in Germany on Monday!!I stopped going to speedway last year after 50 years,came back this year,tried to give it another shot, what’s the point? No meetings for 2/3 weeks, then when there is half the team missing.The sport is a joke.

  28. They need to fill him up with water during the afternoon then.... To be fair, comparing anything UK Speedway presents against what Poland delivers is not a fair comparison... I switched off last night, like I usually do most UK meetings, around heat five or six.. After watching weekends of Polish Speedway and the GP's, and the level of intensity these meetings are raced at, plus the crowd engagement in the events, it is difficult to summon up the same level of enthusiasm when watching on a Monday evening.. Even more so when you see opposition managers and riders stood alongside each other watching the generally poor racing, laughing and joking together in the pits...

  29. They are supposed to stop your head and helmet going back/forward too much, giving collarbone and neck injuries, I think.

  30. He is thinking about World Championship.He did play it safe IMO and laid it down ,it’s not his fault the Ref saw it differently.Like I said don’t think he would have complained if excluded ,him and Emil seemed Ok about it.

  31. Personally I think we need a few more honest interviews and a bit more needle between riders, makes it more entertaining. It can all be a bit nice in speedway nowadays, especially with BZ, riders seem to almost move over and let him past in the GP's.

  32. Agree don’t think many fans think the present Formula is the correct.Makes a mockery of the the qualifying.Would be interesting what the riders think.Its a bonus for many of them IMO.

  33. If you look at the various angles shown in the rerun clips it seems close but I do not believe they actually made contact. Professional foul maybe, still it adds to the drama and oh how you would like to see this calibre of league meeting in the UK. Great meeting.

  34. Statement from Poland: There, it turned out that the 25-year-old had suffered a serious injury, which practically meant the end of his season. "Luke suffered fractures of his thoracic vertebrae in the Th3, Th5 and Th7 sections. Fortunately, the player retains sensation and can move his legs, which means that the spinal cord was not severed," the Ostrów club said in an official statement.

  35. I totally understand that, mind you if Kvech got injured in heat 2 without using r/r Lynn would still be up against it. Ignoring the possibility of injuries, I'd say they're stronger using r/r, but using a guest will help if anything went wrong for any other rider for sure.

  38. Well done to Poole for Friday night‘S result. That was a really professional performance. I thought Kerr and Thomsen were the match winners. Add Will Cairns to that - assuming he’s fit - and that would have been at least a 10 points victory for the Pirates. You were teased for your team building efforts, but some of you were correct: never write off the Pirates. One thing I would add - and I said this in the meeting topic - was that several of your riders were guilty of heading straight back to the pits after important wins. There were Pirates fans dotted all over the stadium, including a very visible bunch in the main stand with their flags; they’ve travelled a long way and deserve acknowledged by a lap of honour. Rowe passed Howarth in heat 5, then smoke Harris in his next, but both times, he went straight back to the pits. That’s so poor. You’ve just won two important heats and aren’t in the slightest bit arsed to even wave at the fans, never mind show a bit of passion. British speedway is on its backside, so the last thing it needs is big heat victories being treated like they’re nothing. I saw Tai Woffinden mention this on his social media, riders going straight back to the pits. Poor and disappointing.

  44. My personal opinion is that GP riders shouldn't be riding in qualifiers. You either finish top 7 or qualify via the challenge.Or get a wildcard if you were unlucky through injury. Also no wildcard selection two years on the trot It might mean you don't get the 15 best riders n the World in the GP, but when has that ever happened ?
