racers and royals

Sportowefakty are saying a crowd of 6200

Must of had a sick note as they used R/R in the return at Leicester in the evening.

Should be on here https://ssl.ustreamix.com/embed.php?id=polsat-sport&referer=www.google.co.uk&host=ssl.ustreamix.com

If it`s not a silly question- his Polish team didn`t have a match on Sunday- so wouldn`t it have been better to catch the early Sunday flight back and he probably would have been home lunchtime Sunday.

Should be live here tomorrow http://www.maniak.tv/kanal-7

No Jokers- i posted the rules and details of the heats a few pages back(page 15). The winning of the whole 2 day 44 races final is down to 1 final race !!

Just watched the final match Vetlanda v Smederna and if i had asked Ghostie before i watched it he would have told me it would be boring as it`s Vetlanda !! and he was right-how Smederna didn`t get all the points i don`t quite know- 8 up with 3 to go should have been enough.

The problem is that more and more riders who ride over here are signing for Nice Polska and div 2 teams. this immediately causes problems because these 2 leagues not only run Sunday`s but run the odd matches on Friday`s and Saturday`s. Riders who just ride Premiership are not effected - it`s the Championship and doubling up riders such as Klindt, Nick Morris, Lawson,Richie Worrall, Wright,Wells,Ellis and Kerr. Poland do use a squad system but understandingly wan`t to put the best side out especially if they are near the top of the league.

Pila were better off with Pawel Laguta who rode really well( Harris was named the previous match and replaced by Laguta)

Leszno v Tarnow Sunday May 27th all heats short version https://www.cda.pl/video/232511426?wersja=720p Wroclaw v Grudziadz Sunday May 27th all heats short version https://www.cda.pl/video/232533680?wersja=720p

Just watched Masarna v Lejonen. Masarna were really poor and Lejonen rode as they should do with the line-up they have( really poor at home last week) As previously mentioned Woryna had a really nasty crash in heat 5 but rode again and looked ok.

9520 was the correct figure which i posted a few pages back.

Just watched Rospiggarna v Vastervik and the title favourites were given a real scare by the away team. Lambert rode well and Peter Ljung have a really nasty crash in heat 15 when he couldn`t get away from the bike when he crashed on the straight - luckily he was ok and rode in the re-run.

Just watched Indianerna v Dackarna not the best match i have ever seen from Kumla however the scores were close throughout which made it interesting. did Premier have any problems with the pictures last night ? as Speedway play had big problems getting the coverage out and have given a refund on all the match purchases for yesterday and 14 days free for monthly subscribers like myself.

He`s taken out polish citizenship and has a Polish passport(Grandmother Polish)

Will i ?? i`m actually quite reticent in putting up links on the domestic coverage as i have always paid for the SKY and BT coverage and feel others should do the same. i can say that Canal plus sport are showing it in Poland.

It means- not worth it,too much hassle !!.The rider needs 2 bikes and van and a mechanic to help him on race night,prepare the bikes and run him to and collect him from the airport(unless the van is left there). I have said many times before that the foreign riders in the Swedish and Danish leagues- and there are many of them- use their Polish kit and mechanics, using the ferry service between Poland and Sweden to get there and back.

Before you ask- the TV match in round 5 on Tuesday week the 12th June is Dackarna v Masarna

Last match of the round now watched- Dackarna v Rospiggarna - decent speedway on the always well prepared Malilla track. The quality of the video`s in this round were excellent- the glitches in the previous 2 rounds look to be well behind them. would definiately recommend purchasing for the season.

Just watched Lejonen v Indianerna and i can`t believe how badly Lejonen rode- Indianerna are no great shakes in my opinion but controlled the match all the way through- Anders Thompsen very impressive.
