racers and royals

AJ has signed for Czestochowa

I think you will find that the Reading team manager- whoever he was - was heard to say when the line-up was announced " they can`t do that" and the pits to ref phone was red hot as soon as the riders crossed the line

Heat 1 at Smallmead one year- Oxford tried to live upto their nickname.

Looks as if this is the line-up for the NICE POLSKA league in 2017 Rzeszow Daugavpils Lodz Tarnow Pila Gdansk Krakow Bydgoszcz Looks as if this is the line up for div 2 in 2017 Krosno Rawicz Opole Gniezno Lublin Poznan Ostrow

I did quite a bit of research for this thread http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=79640 some of the flight times have probably changed but very much doable.

Certainly was the last big night there- sadly there was hardly anyone there !!!. they have understandly lost a lot of their trainer`s to other tracks and cannot at the moment get enough dogs for their one day a week Saturday night meeting - Last Saturday they only had enough dogs for 7 races and 2 of those were 5 dog races. I hear the place though is packed. They will try and get through the Christmas party meetings and then it would not surprise me if they stopped racing early in the new year.

Just got back from visiting the old place for the last time tonight- greyhound St Leger final. Many happy memories of the place both Speedway and Dogs- Had a chat with Roger Cearns who I`m sure has many more memories of the place than myself.

Someone out of Emil, Nicki, Kildemand and the 3 Poles Zengota, Piotr Pawlicki and Kolodziej is going to be left out every week and will not be happy !!!!

Slight change to the start times for the Extraleague in 2017 In April, May, June and September matches will start at 4pm and 6.30 pm polish time (3pm and 5.30pm UK time) in July and August times are 4.30pm and 7pm(3.30pm and 6pm UK time)

I think there is normally only one question asked- show us your bank balance

I just cannot see how the BSPA can in anyway be "promoters" of Belle Vue - certainly can understand they desperately want the track to keep going but A they surely haven`t the money in the organisation to fund it B i`m not sure the "constitution" would allow it

Not certain that`s true.

They have introduced a new rule for 2017 where a Polish rider who is no longer under 21 can be a squad member for a Extraleague team and also ride for a team in the other divisions- THJ is just a squad member for Gorzow.

No I haven`t - He`s talking about your post. I suggest you re-read it.

If you think that is Starman`s most extraordinary post/opinion- you cannot have read all his previous posts

3 and 4 easy to answer- both Premiership and Championship are using this seasons Premier league format in 2017 and FTR`s are in the bin. 1 and 2 nothing said so presumably more than 2 nights will be used including Saturday.

I`m surprised you are admitting to being a "fractious character"

Have I got what you are saying right-not enough riders around to fill the places-but some won`t have jobs ????

Old style tac subs are NOT back. still TR`s Edit how weird not in Humph`s post quoted above but in his post 416

The BSPA have confirmed on Twitter that it is X1.4

What's the poor old dog got to do with it- you are barking up the wrong tree !!!!

No- he is included. KK, Laguta Kolodziej and Prem Pawlicki are the missing 4

Doesn`t need one- see OP

Jarek Hampel a certainty to get one of the 3 wildcards, if he doesn`t fancy trying to qualify ??
