A Polish commentator was sacked for saying “this isn’t the type of speedway we come to watch” years back when it was a boring match.

Focus on the guy racing on his own and misses the actual action between two battling! Just because they are first doesn’t mean we want to see a close up of them 😂

Did he just say Jack Rowe or am I going mad 😂

Touched a nerve much 😂 do your homework as Ipswich was sold out multiple times this year in the premiership. Last season we had over 29,000 average attendance and championship season before was 28,834 average and capacity is 29,673 so your revision needs some updating my friend! Half empty seats at Wembley with hardcore Man City for the cup… and you only have tourists since 2007 who help you fill the stadium, pre 2007 you were in decline. Your highest attendance in 1999 was 33,027 yet Maine rd capacity is 34,026… it wasn’t sold out, if you want to keep going we can. Stick to what you know… I’m not sure what that is but stick to it.

Well half the stadium isn’t actually die hard for Man C and just jumped into the stadium when money got plowed into it and they bought the league 😂 same as Lublin, 5/6 years ago they didn’t have that many fans.

J. Holder is also going to Stal if they remain in league whilst Vaculik heads to Lublin.

Argh ok that’s a very nice response and appreciate the honesty! Maybe we have crossed paths in Ipswich in the past and not known! Admittedly, I only got into speedway 3 years ago when I met my Polish partner so I’m fast tracked and missed some crucial history of speedway but I’m now an avid fan and always happy to listen and learn from others to gain more knowledge myself! Small world if you are only in stowmarket ! I also am fond of Bydgoszcz as it currently has Brennan from Witches and also Woźniak (who went home to Bydgoszcz) who was really loved at Stal. I would love to see them promoted!

Lublin as a whole is a poor city compared to many in Poland. They basically got promoted and got a lot of backing to buy a dream team which is soon to run out in a few years, especially now motor Lublin football team is doing better than before. I could imagine these fans are similar to Man C fans who are there for the ride but eventually it will go back to normal with smaller money and back down a league in years to come. It’s not a speedway city with rich history and dedicated fans like many others in Poland ie Leszno, ostów, piła, Bydgoszcz etc.

I support Witches as in born and raised in Ipswich and my Partner is from Gorzow born and raised so it’s my second home if you like. And yes, they are awful this season I know😂

How you got a name like PolskiZuzel but can’t spell Ekstraliga correct 😂 he should focus on the league more than SGP. You’ll make your money in the league for life. SGP will always be available if you are good enough.

In addition to this, before the play down, in which it is now known that Stal should participate in, the club will hold a conference to release details of the future of the club.

Morning All! Yesterday morning a meeting was held at Stal Gorzów for the future of the club and the 2026 team. These are the decided riders that are wanted by the club for the 2026 line up. These riders have been contacted and finance is now being finalised with the agreement between all parties, if Stal remain in the top league: 9. Jack Holder 10. Piotr Pawlicki 11. Andrzej Lebiediew 12. Jakub Krawczyk (u24) 13. Przemystaw Pawlicki 14. Oskar Paluch 15. Adam Bednar Thomsen prawdopodobnie do Leszna

Finally Gorzow putting in a decent performance albeit against a depleted team.

Gorzów not getting any luck again !

No because Emil doesn’t ride in it does he. That is like saying I don’t want to see the best footballers in the premier league because that’s what the champions league is for. If you love a sport you always want to see the best because in theory they give the best match ups, that’s how sport works.

Don’t think it’s over seen by PGE. They are more into energy. It’s like saying ROWE motor oil done good prep work at foxhall 😂

Not to be harsh but I didn’t turn up last night to watch Kings Lynn so I wasn’t bothered, kings Lynn were far superior, I was disregarding our other 5 riders. Although Doyle and Emil are another few levels above Klindt and Harris!

And also three match away ban for the club so I've seen! 80,000 zloty of the ban must be paid to the account of Foundation of Poland Motor Association to help the treatment of Daniel Kaczmark.

After last night the only riders worth watching were Doyle and Emil, the others were shocking! I want to watch the best riders compete, not a bunch of juniors. If that's your thing, go watch NDL. You say you are fed up of watching the same riders week in and week out but that's the same for Ekstraliga. We only run more fixtures to get more money into the clubs, if you don't want to watch the round 2 of matches then don't, nobody is forcing you. Again, nothing to do with Polish clubs letting riders come to Britain, its due to costs for expenses, having bikes here and mechanics and wanting big money plus the headache of Visas because we left EU making everything in life harder now.

If that is the case and he doesn’t perform very well when travelling I think he might be in the wrong sport! Either that or he will never become a complete rider. When you have GPs to add into the mix others just get on with it. I think he knows he let the club and the fans down by lack of social media last night and today! Thompson has been a shining light for us so often so it was hard to see him so poor last night, I know that Richie said he had an ear infection but all I hear every time we lose is excuses and I’m done with it. If we won (which would could of with a few more points from falls etc) we wouldn’t hear any excuses. The fact you fight all year to get to these matches with some significants and then just don’t turn up is why I went away frustrated. The uproar of emotion in the stadium when Kerr went hard on Thompson was actually probably just as much anger and frustration at our own teams performance and it finally came out of everyone!

I still think Brennan already thinks he has made it now he is in Poland. What’s the crack with before the meeting when they go to practise the starts he first rides round popping wheelies, I hope it’s to do his balance and not to actually practise celebrations because he didn’t even pop one last night after coming last a few times! Rocks up in a tricked out motor like a boss and Emil and Doyle just just a basic ford customs size van and they are the real superstars. Saw them both hop in one van last night with Kvech and they both looked p!ssed off… probably because nobody put in a shift and they almost dragged us into the final. Woke up today and read Hawkins comments, at least he is honest and basically said everyone was sh!t apart from Doyle and Emil. If they go and get 60+ next week vs Birmingham I think it’ll annoy me even more when it doesn’t count to hardly anything.

Lucky Poland!

Anyone who was there would have seen Chris Louis standing over bends one and two before two breaks in the match and then speak to the tractor driver to explain what is needed. I just think some of our riders were way off the pace and we can say it’s the track or the call in heat 14 but end of the day they’ve done us multiple times this season so let’s just admit we’re are not what we once thought we were a few months back. Jenkins wouldn’t have got many more than Edwards so it’s just a very very very poor home performance and the biggest joke it was Hawkins stated on Monday, we have bigger fish to fry on Thursday… that one aged well didn’t it. First time this season I’ve came away from Foxhall genuinely P!ssed off with majority of the team. All these 60-30 wins and you can’t beat your local rival when it matters.
