TTT Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 3 hours ago, mikebv said: Very true, but there are certain fundamental reasons for the continued success... The Poles ensure each rider, (whether good, bad or indifferent), belongs to one team only in each league, and doesnt get shared around on an adhoc basis and whim... Meaning each rider rides for "your team" which can then generate that ultra important sporting tribal following... When you attend a Polish meeting you are attending a proper, bona fide sporting contest, with consequence resulting from the outcome... The Poles will have seen what the UK did from the early 80's, when they ruled the roost, and won't make the same mistakes the promoters have done over here since... When you are sat in a 20,000 crowd in Poland a very high percentage of fans are under 40, never mind 60, with many "kids" in attendance... Keeping that atmosphere that gets created by a large crowd, is key to the continued growth of any sport... Hence the UK's downwords spiral in the last few decades, as many promoters allowed their crowds to drop by their actions.... Fully agree.

Robinh88 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Well done Czestochowa, enjoyed that match. What is going on with Emil? Two years ago a mere 10 point average he was riding rockets, now he IS NOT riding those same rockets metaphorically speaking. That being said not being able to compete in a SGP must be rather dispiriting for a rider of his ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
