Pila v lodz Friday 18th May Polish silver helmet qualifying round Czestochowa Thursday May 10th

A good night was had by all I think- great turnout of riders and fans. Poor PA was the only downside for me. Riders I can remember were there are Dave Mullett, Reg, Jamie and Jeremy luckhurst, Rob Dolman, Graham Clifton, Barry Thomas, Ted Hubbard, Graham Miles, Laurie Etheridge, Ian Clark, Alan Sage, Barney Kennett, Paul Evitts, Mike Spink, Rob Tilbury, keith Pritchard, Alan Kite. it was also good to see Lionel Hoskins still going strong.

I would say it’s more to do with the manager being an idiot- the team spirit within the club must be terrible. I see at least Drodz should be getting rides for Wroclaw tomorrow as Fricke is at 5
