Brummies are not going to get crowds like they had for Kent & Leicester when West Bromwich Albion are playing at home against Arsenal, 10 minutes away, on the same night I'm afraid. At least Birmingham City are not also playing at home this week.

I only saw year of birth for Swidnicki & Miskowiak - 2001. Suspect Swidnicki will go elsewhere if Kowalski is preferred. Imagine Swidnicki will be in demand, would improve all Ekstraliga 6-7's except Lublin.

Yes, Zmarzlik v Ward would have been special. If Zmarzlik isn't regarded alongside Nielsen & Rickardsson (I'm not old enough to remember any others) then it will be down to injury..

Is the other reserve they used instead of Swidnicki earlier in the year still young enough to be at reserve? Hope Miskowiak gets an Ekstraliga spot but Swidnicki would benefit from a year or two in 2nd tier.

Czestochowa have bigger issues than Lindgren, believe this year was the last year Miskowiak & Swidnicki could be utilised at reserve.

Instead of Buckzkowski I guess.

Yes, good ride from Pawlicki thought Grudziadz manager had made a mistake putting him on 4 when they only needed a second place. But Madsen on gate 3 was a bigger mistake, don't know stats but it seemed the worst gate for the entire second half of the meeting. Question is now, where will Dudek & Fricke go?

Smektala bottled it, good ride from Pawlicki though. Where is Falubaz?

Not anymore! Beaten up by the most entertaining Polish reserve! Thought if Grudziadz were still in touch once their hapless reserve rides were out the way they'd win.

No T.S for Czetochowa?

If Pawlicki had hit most riders like he hit Lindgren in heat 1 they'd have gone down. Great heat! Heat 2 1-5 very predictable. Czestchowa fans withh be hawking Lindgren, but fairplay to Krawkowiak for resisting. Good ride Woryna to beat Pedersen. Great heat 9 from Bjerre. Doping test for Kasprzak! Caught up with live action now.

I see. What time tapes up in Grudziadz?

Yes, very bizarre choosing the reserve over Kolodzeij.

Strange comment as Lublin got the aggregate bonus which means they avoid Wroclaw in the playoff semi-finals.

1. Wroclaw - 30 2. Lublin - 24 3. Gorzow - 23 4. Leszno - 22 Final top 4.

Ratajczak?

Heat 15. . Leszno need a 5-1 to get the aggregate bonuss.

Heat 13 was a cracker. Pawlicki has been passed by Hampel twice today. Tough call for Lublin team manager.

iainb will be loving it!

Fair play to Cierniak, did well top resist pressure from Sayfutdinov there but the rain has ruined the racing - it's till much better than the dross served up in Żarnowica yesterday Hampel made pass!

What no TV adverts after heat 4?

Quickest I've seen Buczkowski shift for a couple of years.

How many rides can Kubera have?

VK working fine for me.

Lambert is 3 years younger than Zmarzlik. Zmarzlik was blessed with Ekstraliga experience from 16. Lambert is as good as anyone his age now with Drabik disappearing & Smektala standing still. Kubera & Chugunov average less in Ekstraliga. He's a little behind Fricke, who is a few years older but still improving. Unless Zmarzlik has an injury or downward spike I doubt any of those mentioned will reach his level. Still hope.
