So anze grmek rode last night at Plymouth then caught the same flight to Poland as Dan Thompson who rides for the same team as zach cook. Cook could have rode at Plymouth and got the same flight but Poole thought they could bring in Edwards who rides Plymouth better than cook but the powers to be were wise to this hence the reduced facility i.e 75% average blatantly caught out trying to cheat or complete lack of commitment from cook or maybe both you decide but these are the facts. Win at all costs backfired on the cheating pirates.

Until championship speedway returns to a semi professional sport it will never be sustainable. How can our level of speedway be expected to finance flying riders around the world to ride. Leave that to the premiership and return our league to how things used to be when riders had jobs as well. Hardly a big ask when you're lucky if there are 4 meetings a month.

A great days racing from Poland that had everything from nip and tuck racing to enthusiastic crowds. You could not ask for more as the riders never back off and chase every point. Thanks to all riders/teams for today’s entertainment and special thanks to those providing the links that enable us to watch great racing.

So now you are saying he missed a meeting to be a mechanic? If that’s correct no guest facility should have been allowed and a ban should be issued for withholding services.

I'm all for hard riding,it's his reckless and out of control riding from him I don't like.There's riders like Zmarzlik,Doyle,Lindgren who ride hard but 95% of the time they are in control of what they are doing. If there were 16 riders like Woryna in the GP's,you would probably only end up with half of them at the end of the series.

At the end of season Poole in play offs. Plymouth in bottom 3. Luke very un lucky last night,a crash and mechanical. Hope to see him guesting for us again soon. Why are Plymouth so jealous of a good team.

It's hilarious how its always 'we were massively weakened' when the guests don't work out yet when ringers score big points its never 'we were massively strengthened'.

We've just gotta except that speedway in the UK these days is a tinpot sport compared to how its ran in Poland and the money that can be earned riding over there, Poland its very professional, over here its Mickey Mouse.

But he wasn't excluded , was unfit for the rerun,so irr allowed

Problem in Dan's case though is that Lodz barely give him any rides to earn money, Kemp was in the same boat and eventually signed for Workington. I think the Championship may be watered down drastically next season to exclude anyone riding for a Polish Club.

The biggest problem will be available riders to run the so called Premiership if Poland bring in the one league only in '27, not just all the riders that ride in the Polish leagues who ride over here, but also the amount of British senior riders who DU more often then not during the season at some point, their all getting on age wise and cant go on forever. Nicholls 48, Harris 44, King/Lawson 40, Cook 39, Barker 38, Wright 37, Kerr 36, to name a few. Yeah there's a few decent youngsters coming thru but not enough atm to replace those mentioned above when they finally retire.

No it was Lawson on TV who went to the loo and left the door open dureing one of the track grades.

You were implying and trying to be clever. I then asked you a question, you can reply to that instead of trying to be a smart arse.

Hello everyone I’m just happy to see my team last night, I don’t really want to get into the politics of it all but if Arthur who is a true Poole fan is saying young will is riding in Poland today and rode at Plymouth last night it makes a bit of a mockery what cook did last night surely being on the spanner’s for someone in the gp if that’s true is not on and sticking two fingers up to the guys and girls who help pay his wages on the outside looking in it all seems a bit bizarre, if I’m wrong Poole fans I’m sorry

That attitude is exactly why UK speedway gets shoved to the bottom of everyone's priorities. Cook has signed a contract with your club, he should honour it. Why are you not p1ssed off that he's decided he couldn't be bothered to make it work, so has just dumped your club? Instead it's just "oh well, Plymouth is rubbish anyway lol 🤷🏻‍♂️" and no blame apportioned to the rider who didn't turn up. He's happy to take the money when it suits him, but not when another club comes along offering more money. I'd almost guarantee that if it was an important individual meeting (that benefitted Cook himself) at Plymouth, and he had to make it to Poland this afternoon, the travel options would miraculously appear.

I don't tell lies clive,you are the biggest liar on the forum and have been called out many times poor attempt at reverse psychology.

If they do sign for polish teams any replacement can only be NDL should be a new rule

Someone on updates was saying Andrew has ploughed over £600k into Worky from the start so you can't fault his heart and commitment if that is true. If this Poland and one other league situation in 2027 is true UK speedway will be forced into making some hard decision next year whether they like it or not. If the current second division ends up going back to the standard of the national league a few years back before the powers that be obliterated it, that could be a good thing. One old hand per team, 4-5 English youngsters and maybe a couple of young aussies like the lad at reserve for Berwick who are committed to being in the UK the full season could be the way forward. Whatever way you slice it if you can't get more punters/sponsors in through the door, the costs are going to need to come down by a third to a half.

Seeing Luke,cooper and will on BSN is always a joy. So enthusiastic and loads of charisma. Great to see them progress. Darren Thompson dad of the twins is always brilliant with letting kids have photos on the bikes. I guess once the pressures of deadlines of getting to airports starts it unfortunately changes things.

Have you? Im guessing you have or you would not have asked. I assume you think you need to have ridden there in order to voice an opinion

Does it really matter now, Plymouth won and Poole lost, let's just move on to the next meetings. I personally don't agree with it, specially as the meeting in Poland was not until Sunday, they will be the death of speedway in this country

Perhaps Zach was booked on the same flights that Klint used to get

We dont know what time Poland want Cook there for. Dan T sometimes doesnt even get a ride, so slightly different. Anyway I am sure Poole would rather have Zach there as a first choice! If Zach doesnt want to ride Plymouth, can't say i really blame him.

7 GPs and 7 winners. People will realise next year that we are blessed this year to actually have the best riders of this generation all in the Grand Prix (apart from Nazar) but minus the Russians. Anybody can turn up and win this year, I would have happily seen this line up (official line up) go again next season.

Someone on the Plymouth Facebook said Poole fans were treated to some proper speedway, loads of overtaking

Im sure a battered and bruised luke is grateful for your contribution to straightening his bent bike whilst guesting for you.

Please don't quote the idiot as when you do i can see his posts

Get well soon Tate . A great comeback after Tates crash when the Comets looked to really push on for the win after it looks like Berwick would win the meeting . All the lads chipped in with vital points , Drew and Jonas especially won some good races.

He's the master of Leszno

Would agree,and we have another reserve who rides a couple of races a month at home and does nothing away from home . Battye has been a brilliant signing and has surprised many IMO and considering his injury has done Ok when coming back.👍

I believe he had to complete 3 rides, he didn’t.

thought it would be a white one 😁

The reality is that most speedway fans are retired/pensioners.

Another absolute masterclass in chucking away a meeting they really should have won for Berwick. Embarrassing.

Morris fenced him. Wheels starting to come off for the Aces

VP has been decent for yous today. PK has let you down most of the meeting

Your the embarrassment , that's why most people have you on ignore

You not looking forward to watching him next weekend Tellboy? Be honest.

Is this before he kills somebody?

Feels like all of the GP's this year have actually been quite entertaining. Maybe that's the Woryna affect, he's an absolute nutter but you can't deny he makes things a lot more interesting! Great night for Lambert, not just the win but Zmarzlik dropping points has opened up that title race further. You'd think he would need to win at least two of the last three rounds to stand a chance but on current form he's certainly capable of that. A fit Bewley, Holder and Lindgren throughout could have really made this season something special.

It is an unfathomable system they use. They don't schedule meetings in during some of the months where we get the best weather, due to rider unavailability.... Yet on the majority of the nights they do schedule meetings in, at least one rider, and usually more, are always missing!!! Over 200 guests will be used this season so just schedule meetings in during the best months for the weather, and use even more guests if they need to.. I am pretty sure a "Guestfest" in July will get more people watching than a "Guestfest" for some dead rubber at the back end of September or early October...

Decent meeting... Woryna is box office, tough as old nails and doesn't give an inch, he certainly brightens the GP series up. Kurtz will look back on that GP and will admit it was his to lose, he had the plum draw but was out ridden by Lambert. BZ looked way down on speed but is still joint leader in the series, Lambert is lurking in the shadows.

But what about shift workers ? When I first went with my uncle in the 80s we only went every 2nd week as he alternated between days and afters. If you went to a rigid 'once a fortnight' people on shift patterns like that could potentially miss a full season if it fell wrong for them.

Hope Luke is ok looked very quick and stylish in ht 4 left Danny king in his wake,unlucky to crash which pretty much messed his night up.

Kvech deserves a wildcard next year on his performances as a reserve.

Well I was so glad I was there for that, my third British GP win. 1 for Lambert, 1 for Bewley & 1 for Harris. Woffinden has won than them combined and I've never seen one. Woryna is a loon, that move that took Kubera off was ridiculous.

Not sure I agree mate. One of the biggest complaints on here over the last few years is not enough meetings, and far too stop start with big gaps between fixtures. Many have constantly trotted out the old “people will just find other things to do and lose interest” reasoning for wanting more meetings. Once home and away in an eight team league, gives you only seven home league meetings, plus a couple of cup fixtures between March and September. Thats nowhere near enough IMO.

Bordering on, if not dangerous.

Yes, in my view. It's only some riders who can't handle it/turn the bike - "up your skills mate, this is speedway!" I've seen nothing wrong with the track at all and it's an easy one to blame. If the fastest/best rider makes the start then there shouldn't be any passing. Years gone by lots of overtaking was due to rider errors/fear/less skill, now it's predominently only when the fast guy misses the start.
