Big match for Grudziadz in their bid to overtake Zielona Gora and finish 4th thus avoiding the play-down. Bookies think they will win tonight 47-43.

Not really they going to beat Czestochowa at home.

The play down/offs will be more interesting than the playoffs this year, who will Zielona Gora select?

Kind of glad in his poor turn of form, turning his back on British speedway, I didn’t particularly want him to pull up trees after that.

The most interesting match will be the winner of the play down final vs the loser of the Ekstraliga 2 play off final. 
 

I think this could be Stal vs Bydgoszcz.

[gjcone44]

think lidsey fault 

[Shockster]

Nasty crash.  Hard call who goes. A bit of dominos.  Either Holder or more likely Pedersen for me.

[THE DEAN MACHINE]

Tough call that one with nobody really at fault but just because lidsey caused the stoppage he has to go 

[Shockster]

Good call.  All 4 back.

[eric i]

not often get all 4 at that point in race, good call by ref

Fair call but not sure what rule it was because can’t really be first bend as it was on back straight 

[gjcone44]

well done that ref

[gjcone44]

good race, well done to the ref again

There isn’t a rule for first bend bunching, ref discretion, he claimed on the commentary that the issue started on the first bend and ended on the second bend therefore all four back.

So he interrupted a rule that doesn’t exist and made up a rule that he believes does exist and although fair on all the riders went against the rule book, only reason race was stopped was lidsey on floor therefor the cause of the stoppage, yes the rule book is at fault here but rules are rules

Don’t shoot the messenger 😂 I’m just saying what they said on TV… holder moved over so then did Pedersen and then hit lidsey so  no one was to blame

I agree but rules are rules otherwise they aren’t, change the rules or stick to the rules
