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 !!!

Sportowefakty have published a list of Extraleague attendances in 2018 which makes interesting reading columns are ave/matches/total. unfortunately there isn`t a comparison to 2017 however i`m pretty sure figures are up this season over last. forBET Włókniarz Częstochowa 13 600 5 68 000 Cash Broker Stal Gorzów 13 204 5 66 020 Fogo Unia Leszno 11 620 5 58 100 Betard Sparta Wrocław 11 512 5 57 558 Falubaz Zielona Góra 11 100 5 55 500 Get Well Toruń 10 756 5 53 778 Grupa Azoty Unia Tarnów 7 100 5 35 500 MRGARDEN GKM Grudziądz 5 760 5 28 800

Next Monday the BT sport schedule is showing that Swindon v Leicester is the TV match. Please do the sensible thing and change that to Kings Lynn v Poole( or even Wolverhampton v Belle Vue)

Under 4 ??

Line-up for Lonigo on Saturday is through - Adam Ellis and Richard Lawson representing team GB. What i still can`t understand is why there are only 6 teams in this semi and no Poland in the comp. Start time in Lonigo is 8pm UK time Edit i believe only 13 teams entered the comp- hence the 1 semi had 7 and this one 6 1 2 13 GHEORGHE Marian GHEORGHE Adrian-Sorin FRM TM: Petru Iancu Romania 3 4 14 ELLIS Adam LAWSON Richard ACU TM: Neil Vatcher Great Britain 5 6 15 COVATTI Nicolas CASTAGNA Paco VICENTIN Nicolas FMI TM Alessandro Dalla VAlle Italy 7 8 16 MILIK Vaclav FRANC Josef KRČMÁŘ Eduard ACCR TM: Milan Spinka Czech Republic 9 10 17 BERNZTON Oliver SUNDSTRÖM Linus SVEMO TM: Morgan Anderson Sweden 11 12 18 ŠKORJA Nick IVAČIČ Matic ŠTOJS Denis AMZS TM Franci Kalin Slovenia
