Sad to hear this! Everyone wanted to have the best evening out and stuff like this doesn’t help the fans to come back who aren’t die hard. Hope the racing made up for it for you though and you enjoyed it as much as you could! No body wants to see this fail, at the end of day whether you’re from a rival club of Belle Vue or not, this is to show how good British speedway tracks can be to the world.

Great riding last night. The first four heats had me worrying that they messed the track prep up but boy did it impress for the rest of the night! Zmarzlik couldn’t get to grips with how many lines were available at first and didn’t know where to defend when leading. Some really great racing! As an Ipswich fan you do worry about Doyle. I think he has come back way too early and couldn’t do what needed to be done with movement etc on that bike, we always knew he would try this weekend but something makes me think he is still pushing himself too hard and Madsen and Dudek would have mixed it better. My partner spoke to Emil at foxhall on Thursday after the meeting (fluent Polish so I couldn’t understand!) and she asked if any news on the SGP next year, he just said unfortunately with how the situation is that it isn’t his time at the moment and when she said it’s sad because the years are passing by he agreed and said “I know but I can’t do anything although I want to be in it”. I do hate when politics ruins sports.

This was stated and confirmed by Phil Morris on the Podcast. Saturday's will be drawn from a hat as there is no qualifying tomorrow.

State the person who said "Doyle wont be riding" I actually enjoyed watching it and seeing the lines that were useable.

Doyley saying he wouldn't ride if he wasn't fit then laughing with Abi was funny, then turns around and said 'do or die'

That masters score isn’t really a true reflection. He dominated pretty much every race he was in and showed classed, he was miles ahead in races and only lost out in one due to mechanical failure. He was riding just as good as Doyle and I for one would love to see him back. Pickering was riding really well before heat 15 so deffo the right choice up to that point and even then brought a hell of a race to Emil. Tonight was a showcase for speedway fans, great atmosphere, even better races with lots of moves on a warm summers evening. TNT should have been in town for that one. I’d also like to say thank you to Sheffield for bringing their A game and taking it to us making it such an exciting meeting!

Confirmed R/R for Anders Rowe tonight.

Also Hawkins had his comments: I know Jason is keen to do the Grand Prix this weekend, so hopefully he makes it back and is fit enough for that and comes through unscathed so he can get back racing for us very soon, but we will just have to wait and see. Dan is recovering and the bone will fix when it fixes, there is no real update on his situation.

It’s BS comment, Chris Louis said that Doyle was hoping to ride so where he mustered that random bit of info is beyond me.

Apple weather is good it’s just bloody painful when they drop from the sky 😂

If this ends up being a gate and go I never want to hear another negative comment on this forum for any other meeting haha

Chris Louis said Doyle’s plan was to ride this weekend. Unless he’s had bad news since?

Restaging in Cardiff in August! 😂

Zmarzlik interview : I always have a big emotion riding in this stadium which is my home. On the track it feels easy and I ride with GPS knowing where to go”.

First loss for Stał at home this season. At least they were in a few races… tough lesson but this isn’t our fight this season, bottom half teams are.

Crowds and team agreed, but financially they are in a strong position. My worry as a Gorzów fan is that Rybnik already beat us this season once! Bednar should now be in the team for the remaining season I hope.

Cream always rises to the top and whoever, wherever, rides in a meeting, Zmarzlik will always prevail. He has a higher żużel IQ than any other rider.

Yeah true. Gorzów also have 3 SGP riders and paluch who is a superstar Polish rider at only 19 yr old.

Nah not really, they know he is the best rider right now and more proud that he is from Gorzów than being sad he wins races. Bigger picture is that Zmarzlik can’t win a meeting on his own so they always have a chance if they fight in the other races.

He would always be fast on his home track. But granted, he does know what to do at the right moments… always!

I don’t think that comment is implacable as he got shut out and was on the receiving end of a 5-1 in his first race.

Team riding at its finest.

Always horrible to watch the rider follow the bike into the air fence.

Yeah all Four back and both ok.

19:10 - 19:15 lebedevz and paluch will test the track
