Since it was given away by the BSPL 2 years ago. This year Extraliga 2 started organising Thursday matches to take advantage of it rather than only using that day for rain offs.

Doyle wasn't asked to return money just because he was injured. That's incorrect.

This is much closer to the truth than the original post. So many mythical beliefs in the UK about Polish speedway. Experience of technical tracks definitely improves your skills as a rider but not sure tracks being served up like that one at Brum last night are beneficial to anyone.

An engine that went well around Torun will be exactly what you need to get around Perry Barr...... so simple!

Different play off system in Poland this season. Extra meetings for all teams, up to 20 for some. No one is going to be signing in the UK when their team could get relegated etc

You keep saying this but who are they going to get who hasn't been asked already?

Be ruthless how? There isn't any potential number 1 with the slightest interest in riding in the UK.

Any team that has the world number 2 and 4 in their team is pretty much guaranteed 8 heat wins against anyone in British league racing. Not sure how you expect teams to get close to the home team in number of heat wins in that scenario?

Kvech won't ride tomorrow

Who are you going to get for these riders? There isn't anyone in Europe who wants to ride in the UK who isn't already there apart from maybe Smektala who is struggling big time in Poland. Why do you think Birmingham have been running RR for liglad and Oxford haven't made any changes?!

The problem was in those earlier heats they were gate 4's which wasn't working at all.

Which top quality riders have chosen UK over Sweden who don't need to ride in the UK for a Visa?

Poland is mostly about TV money and a bigger deal has been signed last year. You've got 300k plus tv audiences for Extraliga matches so that's not dying for a while yet. Not to mention multinational sponsors not firms that no one has ever heard of like in the UK.

No it won't, as a whole has a much stronger sponsorship base. Might lose a club or 2 like Vetlanda from the past but then someone from the 2nd division will step up. In the UK, clubs not running or potentially not running next season are Brum, Leicester, Sheffield, Oxford. What's left?

Which heat for Harrison's 3rd ride?

He is riding on Sunday. Confirmed after practice today.

Shouldn't be about ability,should be age. 16-21. Josh Bates was a rising star a 26. There is never any consistency in decision making. Another 26 year old Brit wouldn't be allowed on it. Whole system is a joke.

The rising star scheme in general is a total mess. Jordan Jenkins isn't a rising star and there have been many similar examples. So people people getting worked up about a couple of inexperienced young lads getting a go, who probably won't score and saying it's manipulation is all a bit weird.

Comfortable home win.

Harris and Klindt top scored. Which one of them was the track prepared for?!?!?

Plymouth will get a facility

This was intentional. They stopped watering the starts as requested by the home team. When this happened they started making gates and KL riders lost the set up completely and got smashed in the 2nd half of the meeting. Home team got to do what it needs to win.

Preparing a track isn't difficult, just requires time and effort. If needed, you water from the day before as mentioned above. Little and often. This modern Morris phenomenon of flooding the track minutes before heat 1 and then every 4 heats is a disaster and you see it every SGP round. For league matches the clubs just need to put more thought and effort into it.

Lahti not interested at all. Has Poland, Sweden and Denmark plus does a bit in Germany. Money won't get anyone else over in the UK.

But but Zengi..... Nope it's Hume The names people write on here. There is not one other rider riding in Poland or Sweden that wants to ride in the UK.
