Fantastic from Doyle and Pawlicki. Hansen made the difference.

Well done to both teams for a great evenings racing. Unlucky Gorzow but yo can take nothing away from the winners. Great racing, great atmosphere, great entertainment.

Well done Częstochowa and to their travelling faithful who made a real noise all night, great atmosphere, I love speedway, long drive home now, one blessing is Isle of Wight is called off on Tuesday so will at least be able to get sleep

Missed last night as was out in Wroclaw with the Mrs.  Was keeping up to speed on the App, but sounds like I missed a cracker.

You can find it on the video thread that Stewmac does such an excellent job on.

Watched the match on the beach last night. Poor start touching the tapes and it set the tone for the night. Underwhelming performance to say the least. Juniors doing a better job than GP stars and a lacklustre, uninterested captain who already signed a contract elsewhere which shows his commitment. Gorzow in serious trouble of dropping down as Rybnik could turn them over at this rate and the M.2 teams will both be in Stella form for a shootout. 
If anything it shows my thoughts on the state of the GP, we have 3 GP stars in Steel who are woeful in the top league of speedway yet are in the SGP, it’s deffo not the best of the best.

After the match the Stal fans approached the team who took a microphone to speak to the fans who stayed. Vaculik took to the microphone but didn’t say anything productive and the fans replied with the following statement:

We are losing two matches and now we have four matches for life. Look how many people came to the stadium today.

And you, idiot, you are doing rubbish. How much do you idiot, earn, and what do you drive! - the yellow-blue fan did not dismise the words.

- If, God forbid, we fall, you will run away like rats from a sinking ship - he continued to the team, which costs several million zlotys (its leaders even earn more than three million per season).

Lebedevs took the microphone off Vaculik and responded:

I wanted to end this season today. Not in this style. I wanted to enjoy the win in two matches. And to end this season and this slogan… “We save steel". But unfortunately... We have to get to work.

Believe me, we give our whole heart on this track to make you happy and for this league to be with you. We have this hole, f*cked, but we can handle it
