He was on gate one and by the half way point of bend two was next to the air fence. He deffo drifted wide…even lambert had to cut back and ruin his race if it wasn’t re run.

From the stadium in our section it looked like Doyle got the speed after gating and went to get over fricke but fricke drifted wide and Doyle took avoiding action. If he hasn’t had moved they would have both gone down. If Doyle got past then lambert was next to be a victim of how wide fricke was going. Don’t really know if it’s a blame game or just very unfortunate riding incident. Again, only my opinion!

They announced a possible broken leg over the tannoy in the stadium in Polish so calm your horses.

Zmarzlik picking up 9 points is something of note!

You’d be surprised how many Polish fans had programme and filling them in! I couldn’t believe… I thought I’d just enjoy the meeting and after each 4 heats check on the phone who’s leading!

The reason why people love him, is the same reason he is involved in so many incidents… he gives all or nothing and only goes out to win, many riders say it, but many riders back out of 50/50s… he really is on the track to win and take all risks in doing so!

I agree to an extent. Sitting in G21 Green (bend two upper) you could see how the first 8 heats were poor and only inside was working. The racing got better after heats 12 with the outside working more. I said to my partner who is polish that it’s only about Zmarzlik in Poland, if he rides well then everyone is happy, but dead crowd when someone else wins (unless Polish but still not as loud). They don’t even clap whoever else wins… I don’t mind Zmarzlik, but was happy Dudek was the best pole tonight! Deffo didn’t want Holder to win but such is life! The laser show / fireworks were the best I’ve seen for an indoor event haha if that counts for anything! Doyle will be done for the season I assume, unless he makes it back for play offs. He won’t get another wild card to SGP 2026 though. This could be him done for SGP. Częstochowa already stated they can’t replace Doyle due to him not being classified last season, so they will be arguing probably about money just like Grudziądz so not great for him even when he recovers. I’m so gutted for him! Ipswich won’t replace him, same as last year, who do you get? It’ll be RR and maybe guests (Scotty) at home. 2024 curse has started already people!

He broke his leg apparently. But also there was blood everywhere so an open wound somewhere.

Apparently broken leg as well, got a good angle from it and some people were sitting closer and speaking to them whilst walking back to the apartment they said there was blood everywhere.

MJJ over Emil at Birmingham, Emil not quite fully on it yet. And potentially Zagar over Brennan if he has the same away meeting at Thursday. Rew might have a point to prove as well. It’ll be a close meeting. I couldn’t call it, although obviously I’m hoping witches win!

Anyone see Emil social media post ! He had is bike on a stand in the middle of the PGE stadium track and put : My puppy on@pgenarodowy ahead of @speedwaygp ...

As I had to watch Leicester and Lynn on TV instead of watching Ipswich, does anybody know why Emil retired in heat 15? Were we on for at least 3 points or was he last anyway?

Neither, I posted on Ipswich forum earlier that he has been blocked from three engine tuner companies.

Picko is Sheffield’s outstanding rider. He does perform very well at home! Excited to see the home meeting. Good to see some close riding and making riders work and figure out best lines! Congrats Sheffield!

More info on Emil if believed correctly from Poland. Direct translation from news article below: The problem is the engines. Only in one match, in Rybnik, did Sayfutdinov score. Then, as a member of the KS Toruń supervisory board, Adam Krużyński, revealed to us, he was supposed to use the old engine of the Dutchman Bert van Essen. However, in the other matches there were problems. - For various reasons, Emil has closed doors to Ashley Holloway and Ryszard Kowalski's workshop. I've also heard something about Peter Johns, but I could be wrong. Nevertheless, this limits the room for maneuver.

Live on BSN at 19:00 for build up

A part of me thinks it’s a clever move, if we win then it’s all credit to the riders and Richie for changing the numbers. If we lose it’s an excuse that we tried something but it didn’t work out and we’ve learnt from it.

Do we think the riding order is for Emil to nullify picko scoring a max? Be super weird to see Doyle and Brennan line up for heat 13!

This will be our first defeat I personally think. Sheffield are so strong at home, Doyle had a poor Grand Prix and a poor meeting at the weekend was lucky to not get excluded twice for moving! His bikes look slow abroad, hopefully he will have it figured out for this one back on English soil. Emil isn’t having an amazing start to season but a good start. This will be his first time the team needs to be firing on all cylinders from 1-7. Picko will get double figures with J. Holder. Can any of ours hit double figures? Whatever the score it’ll be a great matchup… I’m gutted I can’t be there as I’m flying early on Friday to Warsaw. Sheffield 53 Witches 37

I only got into speedway 3 years ago now due to getting into a relationship with my Polish girlfriend and when I visited her in Gorzów she took me to a home meeting and it got me hooked (vs Falubaz) I just wish more could be done to promote it on a national scale here. People (including me) do like a back and forth I’ve noticed, about clubs and some digging/banter, but genuinely everyone has the same outlook that they love speedway. Our passion just needs to be pushed to a wider audience and nights like last night need to be key for promotion. She watched last night and loves British speedway now, before she didn’t even know anything about it. Genuinely the sport needs to just have people’s eyes open to it, instead of trying to search for it.

Id have to agree that the GP should be staged there next year. It does have the best look and feel for a British SGP. Would Glasgow ever get considered? Never been nor watched any racing but I know they are holding the SGP2 qualification there… what’s the size of it in regards to attendance? If anyone is interested in seeing the crowd levels at Ipswich v Lynn the. Go to YouTube on Ipswich speedway or British speedway just uploaded it (Adam Ellis and Thompson 5-1) and forward to 2:00 mark and they pan around the stadium.

Nah don’t land until 15:00 so I’ll miss it dammit!

If you read another post you would have seen I said I can’t make it as I’m in Ipswich, on a Monday that’s almost an impossible task when you work Monday / Tuesday, Belle Vue is an amazing track, just totally out the way for people down south on a Monday night. Then you have to rely on the locals filling the stadium.

Well according to your post even when people know about it they can’t afford to go because you have to go to SGP 😂!
