  1. Realistically Toruń shouldn’t even be close to throwing this lead away but Lublin isn’t everyone’s favourite track and it’s raining so you never know
  2. I didn’t write it,It’ was in the speedway star last week, a quote from the council, taking about not bailing the club out again
  3. While I agree about gorzow and ZG, gorzow are clearly going through turmoil off the track and need to get their act together and come back stronger, reading that the council called them an embarrassment to the city is not what a club like gorzow should be getting
  4. Someone needs to take brennen aside and sort his gating out, his legs are all over the place and his wheel in the air turned sidewards, he looks so out of control out the starts
  5. Should be a close one this, gorzow should have the strength at the top end but Bydgoszcz have everything to gain and home track advantage but lack that top quality
  6. That’s not true aside from other sports like basketball the country is a far better place than Britain is now, although it still behind financially but maybe that’s the problem, money, interestingly I was just reading about sport in Poland, the article was written last year and it had speedway down as 4th most popular but it was down as motorcycle racing and the most popular pole was Tomasz gollob, no mention of zmarzlik
  7. Something that needs to be addressed is the extras that riders are now expecting, mechanics, vans, workshops, hotels, airport transfers, flights, tyres, insurances,,houses and bills and any other add ons that riders are expecting today and are getting to varying degrees, it’s not that riders don’t deserve it but we just can’t afford it, it’s out of control really and it has to be curtailed, riders these days seem to be blind to the struggles that British speedway goes through, I understand they try to get what they can but speedway has to stand firm and say no, I do often wonder what other motorcycle sports think about us and the pandering that our riders get
  8. If this is true, right there we have one of the problems with British speedway, riders these days expect, well those days are long gone, the sport isn’t in the position to pander to these demands,some of the things riders expect these days is unattainable and it’s not just top riders, I got told a few weeks back about a current championship rider who wanted a large guarantee to ride in a amatuer meeting, riders deserve the world but unfortunately the cake just isn’t big enough to feed everyone the slice they want
  9. Owlerton doesn’t really have straights and what it does are very short
  10. I had a big crash there in 1996 riding for long Eaton clipping James birkenshaw’s back wheel entering the 3rd turn and smashing into the mesh fence before air fences and ending up in Sheffield hospital,,I still have the race jacket which I ripped open on my handlebar clamps,but I still didn’t mind riding there for 15 or more years as an away rider even though I was usually crap there 😂 but it was an easy place to ride and never considered it dangerous
