What was wrong with that start ?

You were. Its outside of the town of Malilla in the middle of a forest. Its called the Skrotfrag Arena the home of Dakarna. Thought the facilities were excellent with plenty of food and drink outlets so no big queues although somebody mentioned the queue for beer was a little longer {we had done all our drinking pre meeting with a liquid lunch ! ). Good views from our seat which was a wooden bench . We sat next to Ricky Klings Parents , Anders who had also ridden for Dackarna and his wife. Really friendly with lots of track knowledge which he was happy to share. Would we go again , certainly. And the weather was good , no rain ! .

Seems to be quite a few negative comments about the Swedish GP. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but after attending the GP earlier this week its fair to say we all enjoyed a great weekend in a fabulous country. Thought the Stadium and track were great and we all enjoyed the meeting. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience . Would we go again? Absolutely 100% we would.

Our first visit to Malila for the Swedish GP. Really looking forward to it. What's the Stadium like ? Doesn't look the best but how does the track and racing compare to other GP venues. Just hoping it's not raining !

Must have been mentioned here before but when is the Ekstraliga final between Lublin & Gorzow. Are both meetings on the same weekend or on consecutive Sundays.

Perhaps it's because the Lions have only ridden in 6 home meetings since the beginning of June that upsets everyone. 6 home meetings out of the last 15 Saturdays is pathetic. Lovely summer and hardly any Championship Speedway. Who wants to travel sit (or stand ) and watch Speedway on cold , dark and damp evenings .

Let's hope Gorzow go on to win now

Surely you'd put Zmarzlik and Vaculik in ht 14 once you've seen Czestochowas choice or do they have to go in ht15 ?

Presume that's the first time we've had 3 Brits in a GP semi final ?

Treated ourselves to home straight tickets this year. We've always had 1st or 2nd bend , either lower or upper tier before which were great anyway. These cost almost 3 x as much as the bends . Will be interested to see if they are worth the extra money.

Just wondering what all the kids starting out in the sport think about all the negativity regarding the Cardiff GP. I can't believe there isn't one young British rider who hasn't dreamt about riding in Cardiff in a GP (and perhaps the Polish Extraliga as well) The Stadium has a "wow" factor about it which Belle Vue (and no other Stadium in the UK) despite being one of the best racetracks in the world sadly doesn't. By all means have a 2nd British GP elsewhere but leave Cardiff alone.

Are there any differences between the Discovery + and Eurosport coverage of Speedway ?

Disappointing last 2 rides for Fast Freddie. Locals won't be happy.

I think whatever we in the UK think about the rights and wrongs of whether Emil and Artem should be allowed to ride next season , our opinions count for nothing. Neither ride for teams in the UK but in Poland , which is currently receiving thousands of Ukranian migrants across their border. They may not be as happy to see 2 Russian riders appearing in the Extraliga and GPs this coming season season as some on here are obviously happy to accept.

Bought a Roku streaming stick to get Discovery Plus. Don't think the channel is available in the UK. Will an amazon fire stick give you access?

Bit harsh that your disappointed only with Harris. Looking at the scorecard i'd have been disappointed with all bar Douglas.

Without a doubt. Love the big fast tracks where the riders can ride flat out for 4 laps and use every inch of the track. Are there honestly any Speedway supporters watching the Final that when given a choice would prefer their tricky and more technical tracks to either of these ?

I think if you could have a bet on the winners of the semi final over the 2 legs , then the Pirates would be odds on to reach the Final with the Lions well behind. Just hoping that Leicester at least put up a decent effort tonight so that the return fixture at the very least is not a foregone conclusion.

Please tell me that there was nobody gullible enough to pay to attend tonight !

Not only Ekstraliga but Polish Div 1 & 2 meetings as well as various other live meetings throughout Europe. Much better coverage than what Eurosport have served up this season even with it being in Polish .

Without a doubt , watched nearly a full season of Ekstraliga on free streams and Premier Sports and the GPs on BT Sports. Ekstraliga a different class to what's on offer over here. Just attended a single meeting this season over here and can't really say I miss it.

Just seen the Scunthorpe team. Only the happy clappy hard core will enjoy this meeting.

Been just the once this season and really surprised they didnt have a deckchair attendant ! Is Speedway one of the only professional sports where you have to take your own seat along with you ?

Zmarzlik, Kubera and Laguta again looking at a different level to the rest. Unusual seeing Madsen, Tai and Magic all struggling for speed.

Were intending to travel to Torun for this year's Grand Prix , and as in previous years plan a road trip with various stays along the route from Rotterdam culminating in a 3 or 4 night stay in Poland. Now we are no longer in the EU how will our trip differ from previous years where we have always driven unchecked throughout Holland, Germany and Poland and what changes should we expect to face ?
