2025 Torun SON and SON 2

[Mr. Clemens]

 

 

 It might be an odd question, but is there any point to all this !!!!

It's like watching the funeral of speedway. One last ride before we go, so to speak !!!!

Polish fans aren’t actually bothered with SoN or World Cup. They have the best league and travel everywhere for the SGP.

 GB, Sweden, Denmark, Australia should be direct in final with Poland. just have 1 off race off if required for the last 2 places. 

I agree with you. Those semi-finals are waste of time

Tatum is earning his money tonight talking this up!! Made me chuckle when him and Louis were shouting the odds on how GB were on fire in beating Italy 🤣🤣

Im watching on Poland eurosport 2 as tnt is broken.. commentary is so much better 😂🤪😂🤣😅

[Rob B]

All that ‘racing’ when it was always obvious GB and Sweden would be top 2 and Germany and Latvia would be 3 & 4. Could have just had this one off race.

I think countries bid to stage the event don't they? So question back to Poland 🤔

They thought they would get a big crowd. Problem is the FIM  (or whoever) have blunted the competitive edge of these world championships to the point of making them meaningless.

Well, if nobody bid to stage these events the FIM would have to rethink

The lack of supporters in the stadium will do nothing to raise any interest in the competition and frankly putting this on live t v is an embarrassment.  Anyone who is foolish enough to have paid TNT or whoever it is who expects to be paid for that live performance will be well disappointed. The new promotional team who have taken over from WBD have a lot to do to generate a modicum of interest let alone achieve a level of interest that provides a return on the investment.
