Totally agree. 👍🏼 Plus I want Mayfield to see how crap of a team they produced. I know it wasn’t going to be the same as last year but this is shocking and a joke in truth. We have no good riders who ride other tracks good and we even struggle to win at home nowadays. What a sad state and come down from last year, fully blame Chris Louis for this as well by the way not just Mayfield. This is also his legacy he left behind let’s not forget.

Quite frankly, we don’t deserve the play offs after that shambles of a meeting. Even if Lynn bottled it and didn’t get in the play offs, we are not doing anything in it. I did say this team is awful before a wheel was even turned this season. And also said Lawson is crap.

Poole and Glasgow.

As I am in Poland visiting friends and family in Gorzow I thought I would share this video, it is nothing spectacular but maybe interesting for some people and maybe not others. I was shown this place today, where many Gorzow juniors start their speedway journey on Stal’s mini track located just outside the city. The likes of home talents… Zmarzlik brothers, Cyfer, Paluch, and newer stars Igor Kordun, William Forstner and so on.

Out of the country so watched the stream for the first time. Must admit it was pretty decent from start to finish and professional enough to keep you interested. The racing was really good too.

Vaculik isn’t good friends with Zmarzlik, Zmarzlik asked him if he wanted to come but not due to being friends, due to other things going on at Stal and the reset that was coming and Holder leaving. Vaculik being poor would easily have been predicted due to him having two poor seasons at Stal before moving.

The issue with people like you on this forum is that you talk nonsense and when somebody talks facts you get all upset and have to throw in the “rose tinted glasses” purely because I’ve got ties via Polish family to Stal and the club. I’ve said on various occasions that stal have been poor and also said they are doing amazing other times, I’ve given updates on the clubs which turned out to be correct whilst others just speculated regarding the financial issues they incurred. So let’s talk facts again… in Poland whether you are number 1 or number 8 you are part of the team who the manager chooses to include to help win a match. Jack holder got injured in round 9 of the league which, at the time, Gorzow were sitting 6th and level points with up to 4th, thus, in the play off contention. Igor Kordun was drafted in for round 10 onwards and took 23 rides when he was asked for the remainder of the season, which isn’t bad going for a 16 yr old, when you compare than to William Cairns at Falubaz for example, Igor outperformed him in every sense. Nothing against Will but just to give some context to the facts. Let me know if you want to know anything else factual instead of opinionated arguments.

Hopefully Brennan will stick at it, he done an interview in Poland and admitted he was close to giving up the sport two weeks ago.

Gorzow team has been; Thomsen, Przedpelski, pollestad, bubba, paluch and Kordun. That’s 6 if you can count. Igor came in after round 8.

That’s such a stupid idea. Only in speedway would fans even think this. If you’re losing, simply do better. Don’t ask for help by the rules.

Good effort from Brennan tonight mixing with the big boys a bit more.

When you realise this is his first step up, to go straight into Ekstraliga at 16, he is doing well and very competitive.

That is such a stupid comment. The whole squad is genuine as you can have a squad not just a 1-7 in speedway and utilise it how and when you want as long as it’s within the rules which it is. I don’t know why this trigger so many people. They haven’t been ‘confusing to watch’ maybe it’s just you who does not understand how to watch speedway as I doubt it confuses people who understand the sport 😂 imagine watching British speedway with guests everywhere and then commenting this. Or imagine watching football and getting confused because the starting 11 always changes and even in the game 5 subs can be made, you just need to understand sport more I think that’s all. - Lastly, Igor Kordun has been in the team and racing so it’s 6 man team whilst they were using ZZ. Wrocław also used ZZ whilst Bewley was injured.

Poor performance from Stal at home last night. Pollestad and Pawał cost them dearly, although the ref helped in the first leg for Falubaz. On paper and in the crucial heats Falubaz had the superior team and it showed. Great atmosphere, Stal should have enough to finish off Częstochowa and send them down, and then should have enough to beat either Łodz, Rybnik or Poznań. Bydgoszcz will see off Łódź and swap with Częstochowa. Ironic if Poznan faces Stal and sends them down after everything between them!

Tarp being removed.

Pretty sure football season tickets give you financial gain though? I know it secures your seat as seats are sought after in football, especially the prem. As for Ipswich Witches, I can safely get a ticket every meeting in a matter of minutes and sit wherever I want in the stand for no charge or stand where I want, a season ticket gives you literal no advantage over just booking each week, at least mine didn’t. If anything it gives you financial loss if so many are rearranged and you can’t go to the re runs, whereas on the day you’ll never be in that situation as you just want buy them if it’s raining and called off.

I bought a “late season ticket” for £100 for 5 meetings. When they postponed the last match (weather was fine) and rearranged for this week I knew I couldn’t go as I travelled to Gorzow. I emailed them saying it was pointless me buying the season ticket, they responded with “you have still saved some money and we will give you a programme”. They were hinting that I’ve still saved £5. Then two days later they wrote they are giving a discount of £5 to that match, bearing in mind I actually never want a programme, so I basically am no better off, which isn’t the end of the world and I’m not that fussed. What it did show me is that season tickets are pointless in speedway because one or two rain offs and if you can’t make the re runs then you don’t save any more. I’ll never invest in another season ticket again in this sport.

I also had to provide my details and passport number for the Gorzow home meeting coming up. Remember in Poland that your driving licence does not class at official ID. Only an ID card or Passport. This is also the same if you get pulled over by the police and they do not recognise the driving licence as official ID.

2027 Rule: Next season, clubs will be allowed to spend a maximum of 70 percent of their revenue on riders. This year, there are clubs exceeding that threshold. Another issue involves delays in sponsorship payments to the clubs.

I’ve never witnessed anybody in Gorzow look at an app on their phone, it’s all done via the big screen like you said in the latter part and the stadium announcer. Polish fans are more interested in drinking a beer when they get time than filling in a programme, but also the Polish fans are not that old that they can’t get up 😂

For everyone who thinks Polish fans aren’t aggressive, Falubaz is one of the worst. And this isn’t because I support Stal it’s just commonly known within Poland. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1748342193116828&id=100063038089149&hpir=1

Poor refereeing tonight, if this was an English match they would be slated on here but I guess not everyone understands the translation of polish on the stream. Everybody shocked Pawlicki was not DQ in heat 5 and heat 6 should have been awarded with the stoppage due to the advertising on the air fence. Also aware Paluch was very close to getting DQ in his first run due to his bike! It was an eventful match and happy to be attending to the second leg in Gorzow on Friday to watch Falubaz lose 👊🏻 😎😂

The fighting is between Falubaz and Falubaz fans, nothing to do with Gorzow.

Poles struggle in the PGE. Adam Ellis beating Zmarzlik is crazy 😂 go on boy! Told you, he should have taken Lawson position for the witches 😂😂😂
