This question been asked but never answered. Any idea about Playoff dates?

1 R/R 2 Ellis 3 Nicholls (G) 4 Kurtz 5 Klindt (G) 6 Pedersen 7 Newman Is it in correct order?

Looks like no bonus points in playoff round? Dackarna - Piraterna 52-38 Piraterna - Dackarna 38-52 but there was no Race-Off for extra point like in regular season.

One of the most important meetings every season and most of them not o TV. Don't understand why. Will any TV show it live this year?

KING’S LYNN: Troy Batchelor, Kai Huckenbeck, Rory Schlein, Ben Morley, Robert Lambert, Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, Lewis Rose. So it is Kai for Niels. And I wonder if he will be at 1 (as Niels would have been) or it moves avarages around as listed on KL website with Troy, Rory and Lambo being 3 heat leaders in this case. Interesting stuff. Anyone able to clarify?

Agree in 100%. Sweden should follow Poland and have at least one Swedish U21 rider per team. Standard of this year's U21 Swedish individual championship was very bad. Team for U21 World Final is also pretty bad: 1. Kenny Wennerstam 2. Joel Kling (K) 3. Alex Johansson 4. Joel Andersson 5. Filip Hjelmland

Janniro, Fisher and Becker? 3 riders only? Or Wells back in the team?

The same rules as last year? Top 3 directly to the final, 4-6 race off for last place in the final?

Robbo and Lanham Swindon reserves duo? That's funny. Anyone able to find when they first rode it the same league meeting for Lakeside? Seems it was like two decades ago.

Vetlanda almost out. Only small mathematical chance to reach top 4. Rospiggarna and Piraterna seems 2 strongest teams with Masarna not far behind. And hell of a fight for last top4 spot. Which one is live in next round? Dackarna - Indianerna seems to be obvious choice.

Any idea if Swedish Individual Final on Saturday July 23rd will be live on tv?

Skidmore can be in for either Summers or Starke, right? Only difference is that if he is in for Starke than Wozniak can get extra ride. If he replaces Summers than only Skidmore, Toft and Auty can cover.

Bloody confusing now. 3 EDR riders: Wilko 3.46 S Lambert 5.47 Rose 4.96 As S Lambert is out injured and he has the highest average, I understand that Jakobsen comes in to replace him in the main body of the team (at no. 2) and Rose + Wilko will be 2 reserves tonight?

Any idea who is replacing Lambert? Krystian Pieszczek?

Dominik Kubera recovering from injury. Should be riding pretty soon.

Agree, many junior meetings also help. But why clubs invest money in these kind of non profit meetings? Simply because they know that they have to have wide base of U21 riders to find those ready for team places in league meetings! And by saying it is hard to find 16 not only U21 but also U23 riders in UK ready to race in EL, you only back this theory. 2 young Brits in each and every team and clubs will simply try to invest and find young gems. Much wiser from wider perspective than having young Swede like 46 years old Peter Karlsson in reserve tonight.

It is always difficult in first year or 2. Some Polish U21 are also pretty bad and so what? Thanks to the system we find every year some talents like Zmarzlik, Pawlicki brothers, Przedpelski, Dudek and many more.

True, very true. And IMO system is good. Developing Polish youngsters.Whole idea brought to UK was also good but for some strange reasons BSPA made 2 mistakes. 1st - allowed riders older than 21 to be on reserve. 2nd - messed it up completely this year allowing riders to switch positions. Whole idea of promoting British youngsters is almost ruined now. Hopefully they will work on it again to make it better and simple. Suggesting minimum 1 British U21 rider on reserve all season long. The other may be older (23 max?), also British and all year on reserve as well. Is it that difficult for them (BSPA) to have simple rules like that?

Completely different team building in Poland. No CMA limits. Reserves - only POLISH U21 riders allowed. That's why Zmarzlik, Przedpelski etc. stay on reserve as long as they are U21.

Can't they use them both as many times and whenever and wherever they want?

Kerr's fitness crucial factor as he may get up to 7 rides (RR twice and for Ashley in heat 5 or 8).

Aggressive fans, pink shirt chairman (Dowhan) who is Polish version of Matt Ford with double standards, different for Falubaz, different for other clubs. And finally the fact that most of Zielona Gora fans think they and their club are the best and most important in the world. But at the end of the day it is only a speedway club from small, sad city where there is nothing more to watch and do. Forgot to add that Falubaz also identified with so much hated Platforma Obywatelska, Gazeta Wyborcza and TVN.

Nice discussion here I see. Everyone knows Falubaz is most hated club in Poland. That's a fact. And I see tr3mm0r wants his club to be hated abroad too. I really like this idea! In terms of speedway teams quality I rate Falubaz as 4th this season. Way behind Gorzow and Torun, but probably close to Leszno if both teams at full strenght (with Emil and Jarek back). Sparta may add 2 words and kick Falubaz out of playoffs zone. If I were you tr3mm0r I would better pray to get any medal this year. P.S. My heart cries when I see Pieszczek in these awful mickey mouse kevlars. Want him back in Wybrzeze one day.

Agree with your lineups as it is what common sense suggests (unless you have it confirmed from the source). Not sure about winning margin tonight. Belle Vue run them very close twice last season and this year both teams pretty similar strenght. Fricke and Stevie Worrall on fire, Zagar slowly back to his best. Nicholls and Cook both a bit unpredictable, but Cook loves the track (10, 11, 13 last year). Might be closer than anyone can expect IMO.

Common sense says Holder at 4 with Newman and Ellis twice. I will be surprised a lot if he is at 2. Really.
