THE DEAN MACHINE

From the financial point of view of Torun the 4 wild cards should be British

if it wasn't for British fans there wouldn't of been a crowd , not sure why the poles didn't support the event it was only £4 to get in , the racing wasn't great , the track is too square and narrow especially going into the bends and the rider behind has to wait to turn in before making his move , but to be honest I loved being there and Poland is a fabulous country to visit and to see so many brits over there was great

Bit of a balls up with ticket scanners getting in to the stadium not working , a couple of hundred people missed the first couple of races cause of it

Yes we driving over , catching ferry now , staying in kostrzyn and Bydgoszcz , going up gdansk on Sunday coming back Monday , love Torun ,the stadium may not be the biggest but it by far the best stadium by a long way

totally agree , the type of rider that the sport needs

not as hot as her polish counterpart , albeit with a mole

stadium looks empty

I think his team didn't quite live up to his expectations but then again I'm a leszno fan and they didn't live up to buxtons expectations 😳

no we have nothing like that in GB , here we have a team sport with no team identity that is down to the last hardcore supporters 🙁

but they put up the money for the euro championship or are we talking about one being reasonable and the other not

It's because 5+ 9-2 divided by a sunny day in 2003 and any other rubbish that speedway can come up with because it's too simple just to have an average with no ifs no butts that is there in black and white that can not be disputed by anyone and everyone understands , it's needs to be complicated because it's speedway

he said they run out of beer and bottled water , no ticket reading machines so in theory just could of photocopied a ticket and got in ,what would of happened had German riders not had spare tyres? And who was to blame for the tyres no show , it wasn't an oversight ,fans bringing fireworks in , I've asked this before but I will ask again , why not gustrow ? To me this smacks of doing things on the cheap , maybe one sport should take over the GPs ? They seem to have fresh ideas and the sponsors to back their ideas , they just lack the prestige of the competition , they even have a logo for their product

if that were the case why not say that before final 6 and when you do withdraw why say because it was taking to long but whatever the reasons lets here them

Maybe the speedway star could give Jim McGregor a chance to tell his side and why he turned the job down , might be worth a read

Talking to a friend who went , he said apart from the meeting itself the rest was a shambles and he said squashed like sardines in a tin for an hour and a half to get through 1 gate was beyond a shambles ,

Don't understand polish but it says 20 zlotys , £4 ? Is that right ?

to.be fair the opposition riders are given a hard time by the home fans , watching the final yesterday the home riders were waving to the fans but the gorzow riders kept their heads down after the race but at the end of the meeting the the home fans left the stadium and the 1000 away fans were kept back and all their team went over to them , as a measure of how much the opposition give riders a hard time , in the gorzow GP when Jason Doyle won , he walked back to the pits in front of us and he took some right abuse from 3/4 of the stadium simply as he rides for Zielona gora , no other reason ,

lukaz benz

That was amazing

it's a bit choppy out there

Stapling the sponsor on to the air fence 😳

I'll give you Warsaw but gorzow was 90% gorzow league fans and Torun is really popular with all the nations and that includes Brits , it just seems they back the SEC more than the GP , sponsors too

The polish fans seem to support the SEC more than they do the SGP , is it a price thing ?

Not sure it's the daftest but it was a bizarre one that had me puzzled , around 2002- 2005 I kept seeing in southern programmes I was referred to as the " Widnes whirlwind " no idea what it meant or where it came fromas I'd never been to Widnes in my life , I just got used to it for a couple of years .I decided to find out and asked Derek Barclay who was doing the programme notes at southern tracks , he informed me he thought I was from Widnes ? Why? Anybody who has met me (Derek had) knows I have a Black Country accent I think he said he got me mixed up with a relative of his wife ?, we still refer to it
