racers and royals

The club and the BSPA have 2 options1 if they don't want the rider banned they use the " non facility" option 2 if the club use a facility the rider is classed as " witholding his services" and the rider gets a 28 day ban- unless it's Scunthorpe who only seem to get 14days !!!!!

Thought i better bring this to the top

Gomolski has been mentioned.

Our friends from Sabmar TV are showing the 2nd days action live on the internet on Sunday 15th October programme starts 11.40 am UK time here This is under 18`s event in 3 classes 50cc,125cc and 250cc

One thing we did learn last night is that Przedpelski is on a ban for withholding his sevices(that`s assuming Nigel Pearson is correct)

I am emailing the FA to tell them that they must not let any FA cup tie live between a non-league team at home to a Premier league team be shown on live TV as it would be a waste of time and could be embarrassing !!!!!!

With it almost certain that the premiership will be going to fixed nights starting next season I wonder if the BSPA will now relax the restrictions in place over British riders competing in these events. We did see this season British riders in the European U21 comp and also the pairs comp. Might we now see riders in the One sport best pairs SEC team championship We might even get a round over here !!!

I think BT Sport made the same error last year as well, but last night they gave the start time for the programme on Saturday 28th October as 7.45 AM instead of the correct time of 8.45AM !!!

Confirmation of line-up- Even though start time is 5.30pm UK time- both Eurosport Poland and UK are coming on air at 6pm UK time. Startlist: 1. Krzysztof Kasprzak #507 (Poland) 2. Mateusz Szczepaniak #58 (Poland) 3. Martin Smolinski #84 (Germany) 4. Kenneth Bjerre #91 (Denmark) 5. AndzejsLebedevs #129 (Latvia) 6. AndreyKudryashov #9 (Russia) 7. Vaclav Milik #13 (Czechia) 8. Artem Laguta #2 (Russia) 9. Przemysław Pawlicki #59 (Poland) 10. JuricaPavlić #19 (Croatia) 11. Daniel Jeleniewski #16 (Poland) 12. Michael Jepsen Jensen #52 (Denmark) 13. Leon Madsen #66 (Denmark) 14. Andreas Jonsson #100 (Sweden) 15. Mikkel Bech #177 (Denmark) 16. Kacper Gomólski #44 (Poland) 17. Oskar Bober (Poland) 18. Paweł Miesiąc (Poland

No he shouldn`t !!!! if a replacement can get his bikes ready to be transported along with all the other riders kit then the reserves should stay as reserves !!!!

Gdansk statement issued today- Google translation In the first place, we would like to thank you for your many visits to yesterday's game. The faith and strength that you gave to the players was enormous and we believe that our stadium can look like that in every league competition in Gdansk. Unfortunately, the opponent turned out to be better. From this place we would like to congratulate the team of Toruń victory and maintenance at PGE Ekstralid. In this sentence we should finish, however, there were events in the past week that should not happen in the sport and we are obliged to inform you. On Wednesday one of the players of the team Zdunek Coast Gdańsk presented the proposal of financial gratification and contract in the team for the season 2018 in exchange for a weak attitude during the match play. The athlete rejected the offer and immediately informed the management of GKŻ Wybrzeże. A day later the offer was renewed and the player was offered a higher prize than on Wednesday. The offer was reissued. At the request of the player the club board abstained with all actions on the matter until yesterday. Our intention was to provide athletes with maximum mental comfort for Sunday's competitions. On Sunday morning, the other riders of Zdunek Coast were informed about the offer, and they all denied it to accept any offers of this type. In conclusion, we would like to emphasize that we have NO basis to claim that any of the competitors Zdunek Coast Gdansk presented unprofessional attitude in Sunday's competition, and the team from Torun won in unfair competition competition. We also believe that everything has taken place in a sporting fight. However, we have undeniable, hard evidence that the corruption proposal was made to at least one of our competitors and in our opinion this is absolutely unacceptable and pathological. We also have grounds to believe that this situation negatively affected the atmosphere in our team and the mental preparation of the players to the match. The case has been handed over to the police and will be handed over to the authorities of the Polish Motor Show and PGE Ekstraligi. We believe that union representatives will do their utmost to adequately punish perpetrators and slag sports will remain free of corruption and unsportsmanlike conduct. " Gdansk club activists do not want to comment more on the matter and will not be answering any questions about the sytem

Tarnow perhaps.

Story emerging tonight that the big Gdansk v Torun 2nd leg relegation/promotion match this afternoon might not have been raced with both teams giving 100% 1st leg Torun 47 Gdansk 43 2nd leg Gdansk 40 torun 50. let`s hope the UK equivalent isn`t subject to any allegations.

Lublin promoted to the Nice Polska league - Rzeszow relegated.Called off after 12 heats 47-25

Guest for either as per the rule book- Pawel 2nd in Averages Lasse 4th- maybe they felt they would be stronger in getting Nilsson a R/R ride by using R/R for pawel

Sadly "gaters paradise" sums up the Gdansk track perfectly !!!!
