  • racers and royals changed the title to Polish Extraleague 2 R 10 Sat/Sun 27th/28th June Live on TV

Doyle & Chimel certainly had heat 14 first corner worked out in advance, but I think Jensen would have passed Chimel but for the "DEFECT, DEFECT" Polish commentators words.

thats the enthusiastic support thats missing from British speeday

Yep and just watching it on a stream you get drawn in. I can remember back in the 70s at Rayleigh on a Saturday night, the enthusiasm and the waiting for the results from the other Saturday night tracks. Sadly the UK scene is a pale shadow of what use to be but this meeting tonight gives you hope as to what could be with a number of factors coming into play. Until then we rely on Poland.

Great racing, basically British speedway level riders involved and add a decent track (apart from bend 4) and a great atmosphere and you have a brilliant event in general. We need to get a better crowd into our stadiums. Look at Polish fans and tell me how many programmes you see people filling out! It’s my pet hate in British speedway.

Doyley must be rethinking how much longer he wants to do this, especially with a young family now.

Feel like he'll do one more year in 2027 and that'll be it.

It use to happen way back but times have changed and to even think you could replicate in the uk the Polish phenomenon of crowds and excitement is today a pipe dream. You have no publicity at national level (mainstream broadcasters could not give a fig about speedway, it ranks alongside tiddlywinks) and those who are in charge of the sport fail to dial in to the younger generation. Add to this the fact that you no longer have a cost effective entry to the sport which puts many off and hence the younger generation are no engaged. Those in charge have failed to sell  the spectacle that it can be and now grass root change is needed but you have dinosaurs running the shop and until they are ousted you will have the status quo.

we are not going to just replicate Poland and get the same results, most of the stadiums have not got he facilities, to enable a enjoyable event. went too pila last week, nice little stadium, good viewing area's and plenty of room for all drinking and eating facilities, and obviously its the younger spectators  what makes the atmosphere. went to the local aqua park where there was a big trophy at the entrance what the speedway team had won , big advert in the carpark announcing the next meeting. enjoyed that meeting as much as i did the Wroclaw gp gorzow and zielon gora meetings.
