Not denying any of that, but what I really meant was that while the UK may have led the world once, even in speedway terms, nowadays while many other countries have moved massively forward, Poland included, we have stood still, and not just in speedway.

And yet we are brainwashed in the UK constantly into believing that we are amongst the richest of the world's countries and that places such as Poland are somehow far behind us in modern day to day life. Here's the concrete evidence that blows all these propaganda notions out the water. A friend of mine who came to Poland with me for the first time for a speedway weekend a few years back thought he was going to a backward country at the time. Now, having been back many times over the past 7 or 8 years, he knows Poland is light years ahead of the UK in so many ways, not just on a speedway track...

Duzers just woke up 😂

I expected it to be much closer too. Wonderful atmosphere tonight. When I was there 4 weeks ago for the match with Gorzow, the home fans were shocked into silence by the away team.

I was at it for at least 45 mins before I spotted there was an English version of the page available. Without that, I'd still be trying I think! When you renew, remember they email you a code which you then have to go back and input. Without that code, you get nowhere! Agreed. He turned left on Thorssell.

Same here. Was tearing what's left of my hair out but finally got things back up and running - phew!

C'mon the Tigers. From Sheffield.

Seems to me Monarchs have thrown in the towel for this season a bit with these bizarre guest choices. Lindgren at Glasgow last week was pants and Proctor today shows that they do not even want to try to win matches. Pathetic.

😂😂😂😂

I hope you realise how much we appreciate your work R&R in putting all this information up here. You've helped me find a whole new world of speedway this year after I signed up a few months back to the wizja.tv website service. And having been at Leszno a week past Sunday for the match against Gorzow it was every bit as good as I hoped it would be! Dziękuję bardzo 😁

Mmm. Not quite. What was quite startling was the fact that a certain young Holder clearly put zero effort in if he missed the start. Pity, as I was looking forward to seeing how he had progressed so much to warrant riding for Torun. Is he now under instruction not to try a leg, in case he hurts himself and puts his Polish league earnings in doubt?

I was across at Leszno last Sunday for the match v Gorzow. I spent plenty time registering on Leszno's website and printing off tickets. It was a waste of time,as I could have bought them at the stadium. We arrived 2 hours before the start and several gates were selling tickets there.

Think Monarchs will edge it.

So inconsistent that he couldn't even be bothered to appear for Edinburgh's final meeting last year. I'm sure he was only brought back because no other Brit could be found to fill the position. And as for Davey? That may well be a nice lad, but nice lads don't win matches and he should never ever have been handed a racejacket.

Fact is Monarchs have flattered to deceive from the very first match this season. The back up to the heat leaders has been weak all along but has been ignored by the faithful in the hope that they'd eventually come good. They haven't. Too many inconsistencies even from the heat leaders, with only Sam Masters excepted. I'm afraid the bottom end of the team has (even though some will hate me for saying it) been nothing short of pathetic on far too many occasions.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Agreed. I was in Krakow last September - found it to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited - but it was totally spoiled by one thing. Drunk Brits on stag weekends.

Is there any good reason why the GP start time couldn't be further brought forward, to say 2pm? That might be the way to put the hotels in their place and boost the attendance. If there was an early flight down from Scotland, that would certainly perhaps entice me to return.

Sadly,if nothing else, it proved beyond doubt that being a big fish in the weakest leagues in so-called major speedway countries of Europe won't make you a world class rider.Maybe it's already too late, but if Cook really does have any serious ambition to go further, he has to stop riding against the riders he races week in week out and concentrate on getting into Poland and Sweden full-time.

Not sure how Kildemand managed to win heat 19!

Fabulous race from Emil there in heat 18 :-)

True, you were that guy. PM sent.

Perhaps he finally realised the stats he was comparing were the wrong ones!
