So you have no interest in Speedway`s past ?

Not 100% sure that there will be live updates here https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/95383/final-imej-w-rownem but hopefully.

Sunday`s line-ups Czestochowa v Leszno https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/101564/forbet-wlokniarz-czestochowa-fogo-unia-leszno Zielona Gora v Wroclaw https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/101565/stelmet-falubaz-zielona-gora-betard-sparta-wroclaw

Could it just be so we have a complete historical analysis of British Speedway from it`s earliest days which is 100% as accurate as possible ? Hats off to Dave Allen and helpers for doing this time consuming work.

Esbjerg v Grinsted Wednesday August 28th

2254 in Gislaved- can`t see Hampel being back for Lejonen- big disappointment this season

I thought that but it’s definitely not it is Eurosport. Onesport did when Eleven Sports were showing the U21’s in Poland and Onesport very kindly provided the you tube screening with English commentary.

I was fearing that you might have been going to tell me that my words were remarkably similar to those in that wonderful book " tears and Glory "

No way if Eurosport start covering UK domestic speedway will the commentary be done from Feltham.It will be from the tracks. Eurosport have not been concerned about Flying Dave Rowe and Sam Ermolenko to the 3 World U21 championship rounds and the 4 SEC rounds this season, even though they have not broadcast them all live in the UK.

I can still picture the crash Clive had at the Reading Tilehurst track back in 1972. It was a world championship qualifying round and Clive crashed with Eric Broadbelt, which left Clive with a badly broken leg that led to his retirement.

Freesports have changed their schedule next Tuesday September 3rd and are showing a 1st leg semi-final live at 6pm.

Tonight`s 1st leg results Slangerup 47 Holsted 40 Esbjerg 55 Grindsted 32

That’s Gustrow

When you can bring in someone who was very nearly in the 2020 GP series and with a 20 point lead it shouldn`t be a problem.

You are right the FIM Europe events(SEC, U21, Pairs, team,etc) were not recognised as meetings you could miss by the BSPA up until about 5 years ago(ie no facility)- then that changed with the BSPA under pressure from the ACU/SCB no doubt.

Who did- certainly wasn`t Lindback !!!

Hans Andersen is fit and replaces him tomorrow

3612 in Kumla tonight
