Tom Brennan’s licence has been revoked in Poland. Seems it is something to do with the number of leagues he has ridden and the points he scored last weekend have been deducted from the result.

Some riders will have to think hard about Poland next season.

For example if Brennan doesn't get picked in the team at Bydgoszcz, he'd only have Premiership racing to keep him busy.

I believe he'd get paid well to sit in the pits as the number 8/16 (if he's still young enough), but is that best for his career?

Maybe more riders will chose the Polish 3rd tier, or pick SWE & DEN along with GB?

Not an issue for the top riders, who'll know they are in the team each week.

Riders like Tom Brennan, Dan Thompson and co. need to stay as far away from Poland as possible.

They don't get the rides in Poland and it's no good just having PREMIERSHIP speedway as it's not enough meetings to stay sharp as well as improve as a rider.

Better off riding PREM, Denmark and Sweden.

How do you know this? Maybe the novelty wore off, or the field did not entice, or people just felt they'd done it - that was the case with a couple of my friends.

It’s not rocket science. Numbers held up well in the early years however consistent poor tracks saw numbers start to fall.

attendances are usually good for all the GPs every year.

the only other coincidence is the dreadful track.

Never went, never intended to until the put in a consistent good track.

i wanted to go for the racing, not the experience.

Was it last nights guest appearance in the Championship?..

I think the UK counts as 'one league', so I don't think that would have an impact.

It was confirmed as Denmark...

Strange the rider didn't know..?

Next year Doubling Up, will, currently as it stands, count as two leagues...

Meaning no Poland for those riders, but they could join other leagues...

Riders will have to make their choices, Poland will come to regret the restriction.
