The track has quite a large adverse camber on both bends a bit like rye house had making impossible to use the last quarter of the track up by the fence, if you watch Jorgensen in one of his rides last night he had a good outside run but went over the camber and just lost ground, the adverse camber wasn’t always there but has been there for a few years now, not sure why it’s been allowed to happen or if it was deliberate but it places most of the racing focus on the white line which doesn’t make for good speedway, the size and shape does make it a technical track but imo it needs the adverse camber taking out and the racing would be better

Russia didn’t start this and that’s the point, the blame for this lays firmly at the door of the USA and the UK and NATO, your reasoning should also ban woffinden etc cause of Britain’s invasion of many nations, we the people are being played and this will end in a world war unless people around the world start seeing past the propaganda

Decent meeting, I think Bartoz is nailed on for champion, he is in a different class but very open for runners up, I’ve always watched the GP on polish tv but they are not showing it so had to watch English last night, don’t like Marcella but she is what she is, strange music on replays sound like Egyptian music but not really relevant, camera work of racing was suspect as usual, with camera focussed on riders at the back while battle on at front

Wroclaw are reaping what they sow, they cheated to get chuganov in and he isn’t pulling up any trees and then you have the drabik situation which drabik has moved on and is one of the top scorers in the league this year , they have been (unfairly imo)treated over laguta but they are getting a bit of karma

Shocked at the news, I’ve known Nigel for a lot of years,I first met him when I went to his parents pub, he did a few talk ins there, he sponged lifts off me to a few meetings I was riding in and I lent him my Kevlars when he had a skid on a 125 at Sheffield training track, we would often see each other around speedway and often saw each other in Poland at GPs,, in the last couple of years he also became a customer of mine(delivering for him), I often saw him on the school run on my way to one of my customers, reading all the tributes to him shows just how much he was a good bloke and how big a loss he will be to the speedway world, he has connections to the media which speedway could only dream of, devastating news RIP nige

So sad, had a catch up with big al 2 days before his accident, we chatted about speedway and crashing as I had one myself a few days before, I knew how bad his injuries were but somehow held the hope that he would pull through, a lovely bloke who was motorcycles through and through and had some great stories from his career that we listened to up the man cave over a brew, a very humble man, a great loss. R.I.P my friend

Sorry for having an opinion, not quite sure how I’m in some way jealous of the NSS, yes they have a stadium and I errr don’t??? but I can go there whenever I want, I just choose to travel 1000s of miles to go to other stadiums that make me want to go them instead, that’s madness yes but jealousy ???
