racers and royals

A nostalgic Speedway match New Cross v Harringay.

Well that is a surprise !! - have a look at the previous posts.

The May 2021 date was announced in June this year( Just as Polish speedway was getting going)- not sure a lot of blame can be attributed to the organisers(PZM) especially as Warsaw has always been an early season GP.

The latest refund period runs from December 28th until January 10th- so i expect any available tickets will go on sale mid to end Jan.

Should imagine you will be able to buy again when they go back on sale in the new year.

Col never found it !!!!

Looks as if there might be a delay this year on the issuing of the Extraleague fixtures - maybe into January before we get them. This is due mainly due to the FIM and FIM Europe wanting more time to finalise their calendars.

Challenge final is 22nd May in Krsko SLO

If you had gone again in 2020 you wouldn`t have recognised the place- the back straight stand is magnificent along with the new pits complex. the improvements are not finished there the 1st/2nd bend is being done next. the racing was brilliant there in 2020, here is an example.

How far down your like list was this week`s " the gaffer`s greatest gaffer"

There has been some great editions recently and today`s is no different.

Pepe Franc has signed for Wittstock.

Sad news Zenon died today aged 67.

Dackarna have signed Kevin Wolbert.

Last year( pre Covid pandemic) they were published on December 7th- so my best guess would be shortly( unless they hold off for Covid reasons).

Charles Ochiltree died in 1998 and was a speedway promoter for 50 years. His son is Martin who took over until 2003.

Think you are getting mixed up with what Division Lodz are in- they are in the E Winner Div 1 which is the 2nd division in Poland but isn`t their Div 2, and the E Winner league do not ride on Friday`s.
