racers and royals

I am not impressed by the Smederna team managers use of Michelsen tonight- should have had at least 1 extra ride( and if he had scored 1 more point i would have won my bet !!!!!)

I am mighty impressed byOliver Berntzon`s riding this season- he has come on a bundle.

We apologise for the language Anders Frojd used in his interview

Can`t find how old he is anywhere

Super win by Anton Karlsson over Drabik.

Lovely evening in Vastervik- not a cloud in the sky.

Polish coverage here http://sportowo.live/?eleven1 and here http://www.maniak.tv/kanal-1

Then it`s sorted Eskilstuna it is

They have not decided yet they are probably waiting till the end of tonight to see how the results went - if i had to guess i would say Smederna v Vetlanda( or Vastervik v Rospiggarna)

Are you the worse for wear after a night out in Dublin ?

Big crowd in Kumla and another great speedway match with some really forceful riding. If tonight`s meetings are as good as last night`s the punters are in for a real treat !

Just watched Lejonen v Vastervik, long delay for track work as it was pretty difficult to ride. Cracking speedway match with last race decider. Tungate was on fire for the home team.

Have another guess https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/85361/1-polfinal-mep-w-nagyhalasz France would be my guess.

There is also a short 15mins programme called no filter speedway which starts at 4pm on Saturday which says it "goes behind the scenes"- BT Sport 1

Yes - 4473 at Eskilstuna yesterday for Smederna v Rospiggarna. the Elitserien in Sweden constantly get bigger crowds than GB !!

Ah that might make sense- we will have to wait and see. One team must have dropped out as it seems strange that we have a semi of 6 teams- will they run just the 15 heats ? In the 1st semi they just ran a straight 21 heats.

Why does everyone think Lambert is going to score more than 6. This isn`t the SEC or the world U21 championship There will be a lot of tears come 8pm on Saturday and if they are my tears, they will be tears of joy !!! in cleaning up.

Just watched Dackarna v Vetlanda and Smederna v Rospiggarna. Some decent racing in parts and have to agree with Ghostie that the track in Eskilstuna is not 100% conclusive to great racing- i would like to see more grip on the outside.

Knowing the H man- he has probably blagged a ticket to get in as well

Instead of 60-30 it will be 55-35 !!!

There is not one reason why if they want to it couldn`t be changed- Polish TV don`t mess around and have changed the TV match late in the day- and if the will was there to show the best possible match it would be changed.

Up yours as well !! Leicester just been thrashed at home- Swindon with major injuries and you don`t think it sensible to move it to a more competitive match featuring 2 full teams !!!
