I didn’t know them 3 years ago when I was first introduced to the sport but best believe when I got hooked on it and saw how many levels above other riders they are then I was very happy to pay extra to watch some of the best riders in the world! People moaning about MJJ finishing at Birmingham and how BB isn’t a good replacement, well that will be the template for the one league everyone thinks will succeed.

And watch the whole of speedway collapse and then we have nothing to watch, that’s the other problem.

Gorzow today announced that for the Wroclaw match this Friday night, when you buy 3 tickets you will receive additional 3 tickets for free.

People need to be careful what they wish for though is all I’m saying. If this reshuffling means that’s, for example, Emil and Jason aren’t at Ipswich. Then even if the ticket is £10 you aren’t getting many people to attend to watch lesser quality riders.

This forum is dammed if you do and dammed if you dont, it’s funny really. Now it’s all about how expensive the tickets are, when I suggested a few months ago to reduce the cost to get more people in the stadium the reaction was “you won’t get more people because it’s all about the poor promotion”. Again, if people haven’t got something to moan about they aren’t happy, look at the comments on here when even a SGP is on, still people moan about boring racing, maybe change your sport would be my suggestion. Ipswich town tickets were about £40+ a pop last season and they couldn’t get a win at home for love nor money. People still packed the stadium every week though. The football wasn’t good, but people still supported. I don’t believe it’s just down to money, it’s a factor yes, but not solely money. People pay for many other sports without a problem, it’s more the product with the guesting, no loyalty with the riders, no jeopardy in the league, other stuff like that.

We now have some of the best riders in the world finally on British shores. Yet people still would rather “pick and choose” their meetings and not support the sport. There is no excuse. People on the forum need to actually start attending matches and helping the sport out inside of constantly moaning about this and that. Latest I heard was most matches are “qualifiers” for the play offs. That’s an embarrassing reason to not attend. Polish fans could think the same around this time of the season but they love the sport and just go to watch races. Too much negatively on this forum. Turn your phone off on a Monday or Thursday night and actually go out and watch some speedway instead of just chatting BS. Belle Vue have two of the best riders currently in the world but still can’t be bothered to attend until September as they always state… why?

If Gorzow stay in Ekstraliga the 2026 team is almost completed with the removal of Fajfer, Thomsen, Vaculik, Krok, Chatłas. 2026 team pending: J. Holder R.Tungate A. Lebedevs Ptr. Pawlicki M. Drabik M. Pollestad O. Paluch

Stadium looks half empty by the looks of the ticket sales

TNT ?

Although we did damage to BV in the cup this will be a different meeting completely, I expect BV to put up more of a match now being in the season and with Kurtz / Bewley slightly injured still and also Doyle / King / Thompson / Jenkins not 100% either I think it’ll be the battle of grit and determination mixed with endurance! Should be a good one though, at least BV track isn’t as harsh to ride as others whilst injured so both sets of riders should make it through OK.

Solid win for a witches team still getting back to full fitness. Leicester put up a fight in the end.

God knows haha fricke said the track is hard to ride though? Ipswich doing ok but I guess it’s same as Belle Vue going to Leicester and getting turned over !

You know why, because this time he has Doyle and Emil against him 😂

Masters guested for us this year and won every race he finished.

Just a fast gater 😉😂

Not if you’re a witches fan! Brennan and Jenkins making moves.

Still out here in Gorzow and according to numerous Polish media outlets only 6 of the 16 riders who participated in an individual event and spoke of giving their winnings to Tai have actually transferred the funds. The below riders are the only riders who have given so far from whom participated according to Tai: Zmarzlik Kubera Vaculik Thomsen Emil Przyjemski I’m surprised Lambert and Bewley haven’t coughed up their money (right or wrongly) and also łaguta who was the first one saying they would give the money to Tai.

The guy deserves to make his own decision on his future for sure, with a young family, I think this has made him realise how things can change, I wonder if Darcy’s life changing moment has made him think it’s not worth it anymore, especially when he wasn’t even due to ride in Ekstraliga this season.

Decent crowds at Ipswich each week is true although deffo peaked on BH Monday vs kings Lynn, biggest crowd I’ve seen for a while! I do think TV / Streaming angles aren’t great at foxhall though, they base themselves normally so you can’t actually see everyone on bend one and two and then because of the stock car track you don’t see hardly any of the stand on the back straight.

This was Toruń fans last night winning against GKM. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19xdxvAp2b/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Good old witches team… none of them missing their club meeting 😉

Vaculik > Lublin Kubera > Z. Gora J.Holder > Gorzow Wiktor Przyjemski > Bydgoszcz K. Rew > Z. Góra Enquiry from Stal - Tungate > Gorzow

Toruń win the derby day! Some really strong racing and even the best making the smallest of mistakes and being punished. I think English TV should invest in broadcasting Ekstraliga over here on TV! Then people turn up to British speedway the following week 😂😂😂

It didn’t hit him it exploded near him. Toruń fans letting off flares and firecrackers in the breaks of play. Toruń club will end up having issues from it as neither are permitted.

Injury for one of the workers due to a fire cracker. Small delay.
