They are really good at running their version of it.... We are really poor at running our version of it... So if uk speedway had the same amount of money polish speedway has things would be the same?? Yes same sport but Poland has so much more going for it than uk.

marko Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Brady and Dan look exceptional, I think they are going to be pushing high again in the GPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockster Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago A real hammering in both matches, but some cracking races kept my interest for sure. Still can't see how Czestachowa get a point, but we'll see. What's gone wrong there? Assuming money issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland have, quite rightly, looked at how this country ran its version of the sport, and, quite correctly, said "We won't do that".. Hence, we are where we are... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sport, in the UK, has no credibility, integrity, or authenticity.... It just exists so 30 year old, and plus, riders can keep riding... You win any league in the UK, and, who cares? Hardly anyone... Especially as to win it, the team probably borrowed a rider from one of their competitors... A joke sport in the UK... But a major sport in Poland...

Nobody is going to throw money at Speedway over here because it's way down the pecking order when it comes to a list of priorities. England/UK compete to an Elite level standard at most sports and that's why certain Sports get the big money TV deals like Football, Rugby, Darts etc. Where's Poland is the complete opposite, Pretty much a talentless country when it comes to Sports outside of Speedway and voleyball hence why the TV companies will throw the zlotys at Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like over here. Football in Poland is by far and away the No 1 sport... It isn't Poland's fault that speedway, in the UK, isnt anywhere near the top 10 followed sports... That fault lies squarely with those who have ran the sport for the past twenty five years or so.. This sport had literally hundreds of thousands watching it in the UK in the 70's... Then it made some fundamentally very poor decisions... Decisions which haven't ever been changed over the past twenty years or so... It certainly isn't Poland's fault that the sport in the UK is now a Mickey Mouse entity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
