GRAND PRIX CHALLENGE
Shockster replied to spiegal's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Spot on. My first visit there too. Fair hike up from Halifax. Stayed in Glasgow Friday and Saturday and had a great time. Enjoyed talking to the locals at the track and hope to visit again. Hope Anders and Chris recover quickly. -
Wroclaw GP Saturday August 27th

Understandably that would put a downer on any track you visit, but we have to remember it could also happen at any track on any given day. I wouldn't say this track is a more dangerous track than any other tbh. Speedway is dangerous and there will always be bad accidents, no matter which track. -
Wroclaw GP Saturday August 27th

It's 12800 and it's spacious. Great place to watch speedway. You have to be fairly quick to get tickets, but you get a great experience when you're there and food and drink is well organized and fairly priced. -
Totally agree about the track on the Friday for the WTC. Was far too grippy and impossible to pass, however it was resolved for the Final on the Saturday. Have to say though I had no issues getting a drink on the back straight either day.

You have to say that the Poles are very proactive. -

That's good for me, but what will happen to the Ekstraliga play offs as riders will be involved? R/R?? -

If this were rained off, when would it be run? The Sunday or is there a reserve date? -
Bet365 is the best now. Skybet did have British Final odds but they just copy Bet365 now and don't do in play. The link I'll post is a Polish Bookmaker that we can use in the UK and have lots of odds and good for speedway. https://www.stsbet.co.uk/en-gb/sports/event/slangerup-vs-esbjerg/5182481 The link refers to tonights televised match in Denmark. They do all the top matches.

British Final 2022
Shockster replied to Hackett's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I agree it should be about being British Champion. Maybe, there should be an Open meeting to select the Wildcard. This could be for riders riding in the Premiership/Championship (Non GP riders only). Any Nationality could enter but must be riding in the UK. Winner goes to Cardiff. A bit of an incentive to ride over here. I suppose it would have to be a British rider if we had no riders in the GP? -
British Final 2022
Shockster replied to Hackett's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I was there Monday, not that that matters and have now had time to think about this. Should a contingency have been in place? Of course it should, but it wasn't!! Should the result stand? No of course not. 3 rides in and obviously some riders had an easier 3 rides than others. Should Adam get the wild card? On Mondays showing, then no, but Monday is a one off meeting that didn't finish. I think he's the only fair choice having missed out last year. He had a poor 3 (2 really) rides for sure, but it can happen to any rider. Let's get behind him and let him have his big day with the support of the nation. Good luck to him.
