Polish Playoffs. Sunday . Sept.19th
Steve Shovlar replied to brandonbee48's topic in International World of Speedway
Over hyped? I think it's pretty clear to every speedway fan no matter what team they support that ward will be in the GP series within the next two years and be one of the biggest stars in the sport for years to come. His Polish club might not be capable of getting the best out of him but there will be other Polish teams lining up to sign him. I have no doubt in years to come that he will be challenging his mate Holder and Emil for the world title. Toruns loss is another clubs gain. -

Emil Pulcynski the hero of the night. Very fast bikes and crump couldn't get near him. How old is this lad? -
Swedish Elitserien Round 17
Steve Shovlar replied to Anders's topic in International World of Speedway
Agree. He was taken completely out and the rider in red should have gone. He lost control and just skidded across in front of Bjarne. Poor meeting though. Riders all over the place. Either a rocket or a slug. spaced out racing. -

For the two Polish clubs I would think. Poole have a fixture on Wednesday night. -

Holder, Madsen and Ward are at Poole Wednesday. To be honest I am pleased it off. Asking for injuries in that weather. -

Sgp Challenge Final
Steve Shovlar replied to ladyluck's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Thank god it was on Sopcast so I could record it and watch it delayed. Kolodziej croaked big time there. Would imagine he will get in if Lindgren makes a rare appearance in the top 8 this season. Well done to Toninio!!!!! Fantastic stuff and it's great he is back in the GP series. he was really missed. Laguta? Well he rode well tonight but is likely to be well out of his depth in 2011. Still, if Tai is around he will have someone to battle over the odd point or two. Certainly a rider who will be making up the numbers. Watched him a fair bit this year and I don't think he will cut it. However two Ruskies mean a russian round soon? As for the Brits. Nothing to say really. Poor as usual. -
Sgp Challenge Final

Harris has had his chance several times over. Hope he fails, and not from an unpatriotic point of view, but because he has been a virtual also ran nearly the whole time he has been in the series. Give a wildcard to another Brit, wherther they are currently good enough or not. It will freshen the series and give another rider the opportunity to strive to be better. I pray that some old Pole doesn't get through like Walasek or Ilamek. Kolodziej would be a good addition. No thanks to Iversen either. Been there never cut the mustard. Fresh young blood please, regardless of nationality. -

I have a feeling that Leon Madsen is going to cause a suprise. I spoke to him last night at Wimborne Road and he is very possitive about his chances.He was impressive last night and fast out of the gate. And being on home turf might suprise everyone, though it would be a shock for him to be one of the three qualifiers. -

Decent GP. Shame about the dullard winner. Gollob is now looking set to become WC. Nasty move on Emil though. Seemed to panic when he should have waited. A race is 4 laps not one. -

ON SS1 from 12.30 am Sunday. Or the red button! -
It was a decent meeting played out on a slick track which had no attention made to it throughout the meeting, which was rattled through in an hour. The Poole meeting previous to this was raced on one of the best prepared tracks of the season. but due to time constraints the two minute light came on as soon as the riders from the previous heat left the track. By heat 10 gating was paramount and Dudly got dialled in at the starts. I am convinced tht if the track had received the same attention as the Poole meeting, with regular grading, Buccs would probably have won by a larger margin. There was nothing there for any rider in the latter part of the meeting and Brundle and Hart could make up no ground if they had missed the start. Good support from the 100 or so Cradley fans who made the trip down. very vocal and gave their team plenty of cheering on. Good for them.

All sports start again. I remember years ago I was at a football match. Swindon were winning 4-0 against Brighton I think when the fog caused an abandonment after 75 minutes. The reply ended 0-0. -

Steve Shovlar replied to Mateusz's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Would have thought this takes priority. I will be gutted if it's off as I am on holiday tomorrow moring so will miss it. The rain should ease shortly but there's more on the way. Once it has stopped they better not wait too long. -

http://www.dmi.dk/dmi/radar Hopefully the rain wil pass over in the next hour. Then there's a short gap before more comes along. Be nice if they could get a little fresh material on the track. Not too much mind. Track is helping TeamGB, as it's a leveller. -

Beggars belief that a British citizen would support a foriegn country over their own. Just because your favourite rider is a Dane doesn't mean you should support him in the SWC, If Australia had made the final there would be no way I would support, Noddy, Darcey and Davey over Harris, Nicholls and Stead. You should be ashamed. I doubt there would be a single Dane, Pole or Swede cheering on the British team over their own nation. -
Absolutely I am in a tiny minority that has this view. My opinion is as valid as anyone elses and I didn't expect many others to think along the same lines as myself. I just believe that by giving events like this to PL clubs, what incentive does it give them to consider moving up to bigger things? Sure the stadium and track is upto the job, and so is Sheffield. But while EL clubs keep top flight speedway alive in the UK, they should benefit from top flight meetings. After all the EL teams are putting their money on the line much more than any PL club.
