Nice to see Noddy riding well while playing catch-up. Was like the old Pirates days in the last one.

I am no female lead in a movie.

Absolute rubbish meeting. Zzzzzzz. Lets hope tonights meeting is better. Let’s be honest it would struggle to be worse.

Yes it’s true. There’s a Polish police Murder thriller dubbed into English called The Plagues of Breslau. Check it out. Polish PM goes to Wroclaw and is presented with a helmet by the team...... Has the ugliest lead police woman I have ever witnessed.

So was I. I recall a few Poole fans leaving half way through. Had the P taken out of them rotten for missing the biggest comeback since Lazarus.

I’ve written off this season. Sticking to watching Polish league for my fix. Try again next year.

A classic in horrible Brandon conditions if I remember correctly. A real thriller.

Great meeting tonight. Is Leon the best speedway rider in the world at the moment? I think so.

Thanks r@r. Found it before you replied. Going to be difficult for these meetings to be shown live. Possibly delayed viewing at 10pm?

Ok thanks r@r. When are they taking place? OK found the info thanks.

What’s going on? Freesports showing some blokes over the local rec playing cricket. Have they ditched Polish speedway already?

Great race. Finally.

Disgraceful decision from the ref. Edit. Zmarzlik rightly exc.

As soon as riders stand around they go into non race mode and don’t fancy it. Seen it so many times. One or two can sway it for the majority.

Off

Seems it’s being showed delayed or Premier sports are doing a Eurosport and will join half way through heat 7.

Sportsmania has all Sports channels except NSport. Been a member for years. Virtually every sports channel you can think of and catchup as well. Can’t fault it.

Was just about to renew goldvod for the Polish league but luckily read Premier Sports are showing it. Must admit I enjoy the Polish commentary. Very excitable and prefer that. But well done Premier Sports for having the savvy to pick up the feeds.

While we wait for some live action, let’s take a look at this great meeting from 19 years ago. Recently put up in YouTube. Very exciting meeting.

This meeting is too recent. What about showing some classic league action featuring Trick or Loram? The Poole v Coventry league meeting where Loram and Hamill are literally bashing into each other? The Cegeilski meeting wall of death v Coventry? What about Poole winning away? There’s enough to choose from.

Coventry acted appallingly and their promotion were a total disgrace. Trump nearly got his club thrown out of the league and was rightly banned for life for any involvement in the sport. Their underhand tactics of using Pawlicki only occassionally stunk the sport out so they had a ringer at reserve for the final. No wonder most other promotions, with the exception of the Peterborough promotion, who latter realised their mistake, we’re against them. The following year showed them up for what they were, chancers, as they finished rock bottom and Poole went on to clean up the league and playoff final.

Don’t forget, the greyhounds do not own Poole Stadium. They are leaseholders from the council. Should the greyhounds go pop, the lease would return to the council. The land also has a covenant on it that it was given to the council for the sole use of recreational sports.

A very sad loss. Such a nice chap. Hopefully a lovely tribute to Gordy will be coming when speedway returns to Wimborne Road.

Terribly sad news. Gordie was a genuinely nice chap and I always enjoyed talking to him. A real loss to the club and speedway in general. Held in high regard by many riders who visited. RIP.

I recall this. So many Poole fans made the trip up, possibly outnumbering the locals. Some good racing as well if I remember. One to watch.
