My man is going well however !!

I fired another another email off to Eurosport the other day " Thanks XXXXX for the prompt reply-I can accept the reasoning behind the decision.just one last question regarding my emails and responses. Are Eurosport aware that the semi-final 2nd legs are split over 2 nights (1 match on each) Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th September(I mentioned this in my first corrected email). I hope you have this covered in your scheduling." This was their reply " Thanks for the info, we have raised this with our programming team in Paris and are awaiting a response." This worries me somewhat-the state of play is that we are missing the QF`s , seeing next Tuesday(9th) semi-final 1st leg on delayed live. seeing the following Tuesday (16th) semi-final 2nd leg match 1 on delayed live and probably ?? missing the Wednesday 17th semi 2nd leg match 2.

Have checked out Bahn.de for trains.Meeting starts 7pm local so finish 10pm or later.i have been to Czestochowa once and the stadium is a little way out of town. What I would do is stay in Czestochowa Friday night and return to Krakow on Saturday-some cheap hotels here http://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=376362;label=booking-name-97*5AB3mj2LkK1b7FsiR8QS36174532762:pl:ta:p1:p2533,000:ac:ap1t1:neg;ws=&gclid=CO2U-dWDwsACFdLKtAodWlIAkg I am sure it will be a cracking meeting as Czestochowa is the best race track in Poland in my opinion.

So they should have phoned Greg in Hospital to ask him what gate he wanted ???-were you on the booze last night ???

Very true-when there is a semi with 2 riders in it- when people start moaning at least I will be able to say told you it would happen

In your case-why run the semi then? you cannot say that because he`s in the semi but doesn`t finish the race-he`s in the final that`s ridiculous. Gorzow GP over 3 hours (Polish) here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_bP6u83FlY&list=PLLP7YA_mSetHtKi0S5qMBzU2Gcoy2FsoQ

And what happens when as I suggested 2 are injured 2 ride-great race that !!!!-and 1 has ef-then 3 in the final ? Maybe as Capt Mainwaring would have said I`m in the realm of fantasy there !!!

And the lack of 2 reserves for the meeting Philip ? As for injured semi-final qualifiers - I agree that a non-qualifier could benefit-but if the rules were changed so everyone knew before the season started that anyone injured who couldn`t take their place would be replaced by the next in line non-qualifier,then at least all the riders would know the score. As for the crowd-there must have been a load of people who bought tickets but didn`t show in that case Bsi says 17,000 capacity, I would say no more than 14,500 there.

Some observations after a fantastic weekend of GP speedway and visiting Berlin. The racing was top drawer on Saturday but if I heard the announcements correctly there was only one reserve at the meeting-surely Cyfer moved into the meeting early enough for the FIM to get a replacement, Is it about time the FIM also looked at who qualifies for a semi and possible injury to those riders-because one day we could get 2 semi-final qualifiers injured together in the one semi to make it a no race(2 starters only ) . Having now been at both Polish GP`s this season-whilst the pitifully small Bydgoszcz attendance wasn`t repeated here-Gorzow was by no means full, and certainly the price of tickets cannot be the reason-I paid all in £22 for 1st bend and some mates of mine paid £17 only for 3rd bend tickets-amazing value. it set me thinking that the Gollob factor could be one of the main reasons.Kasprzak(apart from in Gorzow) and Hampel don`t have the same appeal to the Polish fans. If Gorzow v Zielona Gora sells out,why has the GP got several 1,000 unsold seats. Maybe Poland is so used to top quality line-ups for their league racing,plus having 3 GP`s a season-they are just not enough of a draw for fans to travel miles to watch it. Finally had a glimpse of Berlin`s history yesterday on a bus tour-and would recommend a visit.

Lovely morning here in Poland although this bookies satchel has been emptied once again- too many advantages to the punters ! ! My time will come Leadsrboard after Gorzow Philipsr £1715 Hilly £ 1105 Psycho3a £ 615 So we move on to Vojens in 2 weeks time
