  1. Good racing today, I think these 2 teams will be the relegation battle come the end of the season along with falubaz
  2. It’s a shame for grudiadz that Laguta doesn’t fancy it tonight, his form tonight is the difference between them winning and losing
  3. You do have to wonder about some of the team decisions
  4. I really do hope polish speedway is not going down this route, it is something that has all but killed the sport over here
  5. I think it was missing a meeting or a practice to ride somewhere else, he was doing ok for them but hasn’t ride for them since
  6. I think cook is a rybnik asset but I sure I read somewhere he has to pay a big fine before he can ride for them again
  7. Despite the scoreline some fantastic racing, if grudiadz can get pawlicki going they could be pushing for a top 4 slot
  8. Awful crash, not in anyway the cause of the crash but what’s the point of having a cover as a rear chaingaurd if it comes un clipped and flaps all over the place, Chris Harris is notorious for this but he is not alone and lamberts was flapping in the wind then
  9. That no14 was determined to have someone off in that heat 8
  10. There is also an empty section coming out of 4th bend which is where the ultras(nutters) go
  11. It is also noticeably more than 25% of their allowed crowd, I would guess around 50% + the only really empty part of the stadium is going into the 3rd bend and that’s for away supporters
  12. Not if they got any sense, keeping gleb at reserve makes them stronger, they can put any pole in top 5 and not give him a ride as they did a couple of years ago with the pole who did half a season for belle vue Damian drodz, He turned up in the top 5 everywhere for Wroclaw but never got a ride
  13. Hence why they bent the rules to get gleb chuginov a polish passport to keep him a reserve otherwise they would be in trouble now
  14. Leszno must know how this referee operates as they are either jumping or anticipating the starts and know they can get away with it
  15. You’re never going to win as a team with ZZ and KK in the same team
  16. Does seem strange, that even when they have the favoured gates they haven’t made a change
  17. I was one of the riders that mr Rees left without money during his flirt with speedway promoting and along with the other 6 had to be bailed out by the bspa, I can still remember Richard Juul storming down the ramp at stoke to literally rip the blokes head from his shoulders cause of his bouncing cheques, IMO he should be let nowhere near speedway again but that won’t be the case as the sport has a history of forgiving “less than honourable” people back in the sport
  18. Does anyone know the result of the ice hockey match between Britain and France ?
  19. I think it will be a close meeting, rybnik are weak but falubaz seem to be poor on the road despite having quality in depth
  20. Yes we are where we are but that problem has been around for a few years now, when do you think would be a good time to actually start to address the problem ? Or shall we just wait 20 years and see if global warming kicks in and we get drier weather, proactive sports prosper, reactive sports suffer, sadly speedway is neither and fans have the same debates for ever after until they get fed up and don’t go anymore
  21. To be honest I’m not really interested in the safety side, life is dangerous deal with it but as a fan I don’t want to travel round Europe paying my hard earned money to watch meetings get called off needlessly and it has happened ,after the call off yesterday the PGE should have had an inquest into what could be learnt by calling off a basically dry but heavy track, the answer until they can control the weather has to be in the bikes but speedway never learns from its mistakes and the really sad bit is they already know the problem
  22. It is a contradiction, the modern bike is not built/tuned or whatever for safety, it is built for speed and to get the edge, even frames are made for the edge with no regard for safety, remember the incident in Toruń when someone’s experimental frame snapped causing half the bike to land in the seats, where was the thought given to safety then? fact is despite the rain yesterday the track wasn’t wet after the grading just heavier and you could hear it in pawlickis bike noise but the problem is the engine has very little scope for change meetings get called off and when that affects fans and that shouldn’t happen when it doesn’t need too, it’s a case of safety when it suits them and it isn’t case of conquer and divide as most of the technical speedway world agrees something should be done even the poles but getting it done is another matter
