With an on form KK they might have a chance at home against Czestochowa but it's a big ask now for them to stay up for sure. Grudziadz just don't seem capable of all clicking at the same time. I wanted to see Rybnik pull off the impossible last year and the same for Grudziadz this season, but they've blown too many chances for extra points this season.

Gutted if no TV coverage...shows how lucky we've become I guess that coverage is expected now! Disappointing though for a world final. Expecting 4th but as said already, beating the Latvians with their Polish league experience, on a foreign track, would be a great achievement. Big test for the GB boys and more vital experience, good luck to the boys!

Bizarre delay that. Janowski clear as day the start line offender there -
Swindon v Belle Vue Premiership Cup Final 2nd. Leg
JamieE replied to Ovalman's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Went as a neutral for my first trip to Swindon since 2014 tonight. Gutted for Belle Vue fans who must have had a right frustrating season watching that team, how inconsistent can a team be?! I hope their British riders find consistent form again next season after injury free seasons for Bewley and Worrall, that was a massive ride for Worrall to beat Doyle. As for Swindon, I can't wait to see them at Wolves in the play offs, that should be a tasty match up! Had their gating boots on tonight. Not the best racing I have to say but glad I went, a very healthy crowd indeed and a masterstroke to put the meeting on at the start of Cardiff weekend. When you get a crowd and occasion like that on a warm evening too, it reminds you speedway is still alive and well on its day! How I miss my regular fix at Brandon. -
Gutted to see Somerset drop out of the top flight after your rise (almost) to the very top of British speedway! So glad I made the after work dash from Warwickshire to see the KO cup final this season as my first ever visit to Somerset, with the likes of Doyle, Iversen, Harris and Lambert (not forgetting your home track hero Wrighty) in action at the OTA. As a Coventry fan in exile, the above meeting provided the perfect end to my season of travelling around the tracks. Just surprised to see this move has been taken, based on the feel good factor I picked up on my visit. I wish you luck in the Championship and look forward to visiting again, maybe the Championship Fours one day!

Championship League Riders Championship
JamieE replied to cinderfella's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As a complete neutral, I couldn't give a monkey's that Cook is riding in this league and was allowed in the meeting, just want to see the strongest lineups possible in the meetings I choose to attend up and down the country. That's why I have a dilemma about my first planned visit to Somerset this week being against an Iversenless King's Lynn!! The likes of Cook and Riss ultimately persuaded me to make my first visit from Coventry to Owlerton...and I'm glad I did. Good racing, well presented stadium and a decent atmosphere with the big crowd. Hope to visit again and great to see all the club colours on show with no disappointing no shows on the day for once! -
Sorry for the last minute picks once again! Looks like this round should shake the scores up a bit with lots of rider combinations. My picks; Poland - Janowski and Dudek GB - Cook and Harris Sweden - Lindgren and Lindback Russia - Sayfutdinov and "go-go" Tarasenko Thanks.
-
Race off picks Australia - Holder and Doyle (Fricke if no Doyle) Russia - Sayfutdinov and G Laguta Latvia - Lebedevs and Bogdanovs USA - Wells and Manzares Thanks

Poole V Belle Vue Bt Sports 26/6/17

Why do I get the impression that Kelvin would be more excited at Klindt scoring a point than Bewley's heroics on this awful track? -
Rye House V Coventry Bees Sunday 25th June 2017
JamieE replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Looking forward to my first trip to Rye House, would be nice to know the teams though. Where do away fans tend to congregate? Also, do we think there's any chance of either Peterborough or Rye House moving their start time to allow fans (and presumably Bomber) to get to both meetings? Surely makes sense and a win-win for both club's (especially if weather's like today). -
Work in Nuneaton so figured I was half way there and thought I'd go along to this one. Wolves' dominance didn't surprise me in the slightest, having seen them ride against the Coventry select and Rye House already this season. By far the most significant and worthwhile changes of any team in the league, giving top end strength and some depth at reserve in Mark Riss. Want the Lions to have a good season but that's twice I've seen them annihilated at home now, it's just not a Danny King track either. No shame in losing to Wolves this season though, they'll give others a good tonking too, I can't see where they might lose, not even Wimborne Rd now. No reason why Leicester can't bounce back on bank holiday Monday. Good work by the Lions ownership to get the stadium good to go for tonight by the sounds of it, sounded like the vandals have struck again. Finally, good to see two great servants of British speedway flying high. Lindgren and Schlein deserve all the success they get for bouncing back from loss of form and injury respectively, as they have.

This is shocking news. RIP Alan. I didn't know him personally but like several others, he has made a big, positive contribution to my enjoyment of watching the foreign leagues for a number of years now. For that I thank you Alan.

Wolverhampton V Coventry 10th April (challenge)
JamieE replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
A bit flat for Wolves vs Bees at Monmore? Maybe, but when all's said and done, it was a challenge meeting on a chilly April evening. As has been said, there were some good races and agree it was more entertaining than the real business over at Leicester on Saturday. Hats off to Nielsen, showing the potential he had before a stale spell in the tougher draft system last year. One of the feel good stories of the night for me and if our nomad club requires an occasional nomad rider to make up the numbers here and there, then well, I won't be too upset to see us give them track time. Another feel good story, great to see Schleiny getting back up to speed after his latest injury nightmares. Like at Leicester on Saturday, just getting a bit squeezed out on tight first laps still, missing out on the big scores, but a remarkable comeback really and always good to see in Bees colours. For Wolves, that's a very strong top order that will be hard for others to conquer. Even Skornicki looks to be figuring it out again. A reserve change clearly looks needed though, will that require a casualty from the top 5 to get the balance right? Hopefully a couple of appearances from Bomber should bring back the Coventry feel some are saying is missing from the Bees of 2017. -
Good news if true, I have no doubt he will do a great job for his grandad's old team at Poole someday but see no point in us keeping him based on the 'Coventry' Woryna we saw this year. For Coventry at least, I don't see him improving for us.

Belle Vue Vs Wolves, Grand Final 2nd Leg, 5/10/16...
JamieE replied to Col's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
What a speedway meeting between two big name speedway clubs! Best final for the neutral in years with some old school passion creeping in from fans and riders alike (anyone remember Ian Thomas being "assaulted by Scott Nicholls"!). Congratulations Wolves and commiserations to the Aces, little consolation but made a go of it and for the most part did the sport proud. Just left themselves too much to do. Not sure why the Woffy bating but seemed to bother him and although you don't want to see it go too far, would rather see passionate fans than just sitting quietly. -
Insulting for the fans not to be told the full line ups officially and pretty disrespectful to the rider concerned not to put their name on the team sheet. As if that one rider's going to make any difference to the crowd, who knows they might gain a few people rather than lose all the ones they alienate by not being up front.
-
Dreadful news for us Bees fans. I hate to think who the club will turn to now. Bomber's what's allowed the Bees to still feel something like the Coventry of old. Good luck to him wherever he goes.
-
Perhaps the TBC is there ready to reveal tomorrow that Rory Schlein has signed for the Storm and as he hasn't ridden NL for many years, he signs on a 5 average, making him eligible to guest for KK in the Bees meeting? Sound legit?

Coventry V Poole. 15/07/2016 Elb
JamieE replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
"Hansi's on fire..." oh, wait?! Great win against the Pirates and a good meeting in front of a decent crowd. Excellent from Bates to follow up his creditable 6 against Lynn. Really punching above his weight in the top 5. What's the deal about centre green exclusions then? 2 weeks ago Jack Smith was excluded in heat 2 for Birmingham for the same thing and wasn't allowed off 15m, yet Bjarne was?! Farce.
