Elitserien 2018 round 12, 7 August
Shockster replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
Looking at the last 2 fixtures, I think Vetlanda could take 2nd if they get all 6 points and finish behind Dackarna. Looks to me that Lejonen will join Masarna and miss out on the play offs. -
Belle Vue v King's Lynn 06/08/18
Shockster replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So would I. Appreciate it sounds daft leaving a guy out on a paid Max, but Tungate and Fricke gate better. Couldn't have left Fricke out after heat 11 though. I still say only 6 from Cook was the real difference in the end. -
Belle Vue v King's Lynn 06/08/18
Shockster replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Terrific meeting last night. Close and tense even if the racing wasn't great up to heat 10 and then heats 11 to 15 were brilliant. You can argue who should have been in Ht15 for Belle Vue but they lost simply because their No.1 Craig Cook scored only 6 at home. That's the truth of the matter IMO. -

Cheers R&R. Think they'll find it was 28th July not 28th August. -

From being there it reminded me a lot of the NSS Belle Vue track. I'm not sure that comes across on TV. The stadium and viewing is fantastic. Highly recommended. -

I was lucky enough to be at the Wroclaw match and it's a cracker. Heat 12 is one of the best races I can remember. -
Elitserien 2018 round 11, 31 July
Shockster replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
I know this is not fool proof but I expect these 2 listed riders to take their place. Bookmakers have Vetlanda priced up at 6/1 and that would be too good to be true if Madsen especially was riding. -
Buying tickets from Zielona Góra website
Shockster replied to stewmac's topic in International World of Speedway
I'm going next Monday to Poland and have just got tickets for Wroclaw v Czestachowa on the 29th July. It wasn't straight forward though!!! I had to sign up set up an account with Wroclaw and then buy the tickets. Sounds easy enough, but the Halifax declined my payment until I confirmed it was me and then still it wouldn't go through until I changed to a different card provider. Anyway all sorted and hopefully a decent match to look forward to. -
Looking on the sky planner it looks like there is no LIVE Speedway on next Tuesday. Premier HD has Celtic in a Champions League qualifier on live and nothing on Freesports. Premier have highlights at 2am on Wednesday? Probably on other times also. A bit odd that it's not on Freesports if Premier showing football. Pity.

World Championship Pairs
Shockster replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
100% Correct. Tai was brilliant over the 2 days and without him we'd probably have been battling Germany for last place. Who knows why he chased Laguta, but he did!! Maybe the final got to him and he just wanted to win. Must be a bit alien letting another rider zoom off when it's in your nature to race. While I'm on here, regarding the tapes warning rule. Personally I'd let them all move at the start and unless they touch the tapes let it go, flyers are a great gate IMO. However, if we are to have warnings in this and the GP I'd say make it a clean slate when we get to the semis. If they move in either the semi or final then they get a new warning. The semi final on Saturday was very poor and a real downer for the meeting, although correct decision under the current rule.
