Once you go through the purchase process you will be asked the question do you wish to pay using your pay pal account or another method, choose the other method and you can use your regular credit/debit card. Although it doesn't state, one assumes you should be able to have your ticket on your smart phone. In this day and age, the number of people without printers far outweighs the number of people without a smart phone

In that case Dudek at 11/2 EW, cannot see him not making the top 3 in that field and at 1/4 odds still a profit even if he doesnt take the top spot

Whats the format for the Polish Golden Helmet? Straight 20 heats? One last chance final for the top 6 or 2 semis for the top 8? Miskowiak to outscoure Krakowiak looks a play along with Smektala over 9

For the second meeting Bet 365 seem to be pretty much on the mark with all their odds and as a result only have 2 plays Zmarzlik over 11 Lindgren over 8

For the 5pm meeting Im going with Rybnik +24 i think Lambert and Woryna should be able to keep the final score a little more respectable than the 57-33 thrashing the bookies expect it to be. Lambert and Woryna should be able to get 20+ points between them and Milik, Logachov and Nowacki chipping in another 14+ points between them. Also backing Rybnik at +14 after 8 heats. With Lambert and Woryna most likely in 5 of the first 8 heats to pick up points. Logachev in heat 4 against Lublins weakest pairing and Milik should have the beating of Trofimov in heat 6 to keep the scores reasonable at the mid point stage Also going Laguta over 10 Zager over 8 Logachev +1 over Jamrog Nowacki +2 over Trofimov

For the first meeting Leszno -14, they dispatched of Wroclaw a slightly better side, in my opinion by 16 points the other night Laguta and Hampel both over 7, 5 rides each should cover that Zager -3 over Lidesy, Lidsey wont get a point or more than 2 rides Hopefully Matej can get 3rd place in each of his rides Hampel +1 over Pawlicki Pawlicki under 10, at 17/10 as he was pretty woeful against Wroclaw hopefully he doesn't score well this afternoon

Got to go with Rybnik at +22, whilst they will get easily beaten I cant see them failing to to get 35 points (Im going 52-38) Buczkowski Under 8 Woryna over 7 I do fancy Laguta +4 over Lambert but at odds of 4/7 its just not worth the play

Playing the same 3 bets as yesterday for the ZG v Czestochowa meeting plus the addition of :- Lindgren -1 over MJJ For the Leszno Wroclaw meeting Drabik Over 7 Drabik +3 Over Pawlicki Smektala Over 5 Woffinden over 9

Oh well second meeting postponed so no damage done there and profit on the first meeting but Zmarzlik not getting over 14 from 7 rides is a bit of a shock

For the second meeting today Czestochowa +2 Lindgren over 9 Also a small play on the match being drawn

My picks for the first meeting Laguta over 8 Laguta over Kasprzak Zmarzlik over 14 Thomsen over 9 Michelsen over 9 The handicap of +/- 4 for Lublin is a little too close for me to take a punt, although I do think Lublin should run out 48-42 winners of the meeting Barring injury both Zmarzlik and Thomsen are guaranteed 6 rides each

Leszno v Wroclaw is on Freesports 7pm Monday - Live Zielona Gora v Czestochowa is on Premier 1 12:45am Monday morning Grudziądz v Rybnik doesnt appear on the schedule at all, maybe they will put this in place of one of the many other repeats over the next 7 days

Czestochowa -8 Madsen over 10 Pedersen Under 12 Madsen -2 over Pedersen Main bet being the Czestochowa -8 , personally see this being a comfortable home win of 12-14 points

Yes i know and a couple of weeks ago Emil said he was unlikely to ride in Poland anyway, but my question was how can each countries governing body ban you from doing something when they cannot guarantee you can do that job in your own country...Emil/Russia was just an example.

Yes I understand that, but there is no guarantee at this moment the Russian league will go ahead, unless that contract with Balakov guarantees him payment irrespective of actually riding?? As for being in Poland all that time?? Its only 5 months, May 8th till last meeting being the 11th September...ok there could be play offs but still first week in October only takes it to a total of 5 months and your still free to move around as you wish within the country and for all anyone knows the borders could open up mid july etc.....potentially 130K for 5 months away....its hardly difficult

Maybe I am missing some peculiarity with speedway or sport in general but how can they do this? How can you deny the opportunity to go an earn a living in another country when you cant offer the same opportunities in your own country? I could understand how they could tell Emil if you ride in Poland you will be refused the opportunity to ride in Russia. I can also understand how they could say to Emil you cant leave to go to Poland because our borders are closed....which i know is not a fact as Im currently sat with 3 Russians who have travelled here to work in the North Sea. The same goes for the Swedish, Danish and British authorities thinking of preventing riders from going to ride in Poland, how can they do this? Surely they can only give them the choice, its either Poland or us. Im not certain of Dan Bewley's current stance but for example if the BSPA/SCB or Belle Vue tried to ban him from riding in Poland but cant guarantee him any rides in the UK surely they dont have a leg to stand on

After announcing that top 4, any announcement involving Josh Bates and Ty Proctor would be a major disappointment. Get Dimitri and Todd in a reserve, then whomever fits for the remaining second string slot

I would say a lot more people in this country have access to Eurosport than BT Sport. Eurosport comes as part of any basic sky package let alone even subscribing to sky sports. Just going by the viewing figures alone for football across the platforms, sky sports regularly has viewing figures in the 100s of thousands for any live football match, whereas as BT sport can only muster up viewing figures in the 10s of thousands even for champions leagues games, thus showing far more people have Sky than BT, therefore far more people have Eurosport than BT

It’s being shown on the BT Sport app, so if you have a BT sport subscription you can watch via, pc laptop iPad etc

It’s on BT Sport/ESPN sky channel 423

Stock cars are 23rd June......Sheffield has no meeting on the 16th either? Also Stock cars on 4th August, Sheffield are at Leicester that date 6th October, should the season get that far, is also a date for Stock cars

BWD also rides in Poland for Gdansk.......an issue of sunday riding is that pretty much every single potential replacement will already have commitments in Poland, unless you go with the risk of a complete unknown from Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic etc. I cant really see the point of making any team changes at this time, are the team doing good enough, no, is anyone glaringly poor, no. Should Ty, Kasper and Broc be scoring better around Sheffield, probably, but currently Drew and Zaine are far outscoring what was expected of someone in their first full seasons Away Danny isn't hitting the points a top number 1 should be, Zaine and Drew are in their first seasons so cant be expected to be really scoring but Ty's away performances are currently better than his home. The trouble is everyone can see the fixture list and can see the shield is gone, barring a miracle the cup is over, given we have some blank home dates in the fixtures and not believing the promotion will leave a bank holiday sunday fixture free and thus bringing someone forward, we could then potentially be looking at finishing the season at home in July !!!, Although given the fact there is massive potential for Sheff Utd to playing live on TV or at home at 4pm come sundays in August/September this could be great planning??? As for the track, well its certainly looked better in the last 2 weeks, it hasn't actually produced much better racing but it certainly hasn't been as dry dusty or looking like the M1, so improvements have been made in that area its obvious. Now why we don't have the racing we all once remembered I dont know, maybe the track is still poor in terms of producing different lines, it is currently gate go and as long as you dont drift off that one line you dont get passed, yes there was passing against Glasgow but I would say thats more to do with the rider in front making a mistake rather than someone blasting around the boards or cutting up the inside. No matter how much any promotion bigs up their club their team and their riders, the simple fact is Speedway is only 15 minutes long and now at 16 quid to get in thats over a pound a minute....I dont see too many keen to cough up over 90 quid each week for a football match if you want a cost comparison. Speedway has always been 15 minutes of adrenaline fuelled excitement potentially dragged out over 2 hours.....currently its 15 minutes of processional gate and go dragged out and the dragging bit is getting tiresome. A combination of the tracks, bikes, speed of meetings, and entertainment needs to be improved/addressed...at all venues. With the speed of meetings Im not necessarily referencing Sheffield as the start to end of a meeting this season has been good, not always the case. Although if on the rare occasion we have an exciting heat lets not leave it almost 10 mins to the start of the next one when everyone has fallen back to sleep. There is no reason why in every single heat, the boys cant cross the line, take in a victory lap and have the 2 mins on immediately, if the worlds top stars can do this at GP's and World Cups then there is no reason it cant happen here. The paying public are there to see the racing not the breaks in between

1- Ashley Morris 2- James Shanes 3 - Zaine Kennedy (Reserve replacement for Drew Kemp) 4 - Danyon Hume 1-5, time 62.9

So basically just a way of drumming up a bit of interest on a dull friday in the off season. Potentially adding a few more bums to seats to for practice and encouraging a few more riders to actually turn up to practice.

Sorry don’t understand this? It means that the fastest rider can pick in starting position in the 1-16 with those pre determined gates? Or that in each individual race the fastest rider can choose his starting gate as in all 5 rides from gate 1? What happens in the semis and finals? Gate positions given out as previous to highest point scorers or the fastest in practice?
