me too from 2024, we got a him a electric buggy for his last season, when he couldn't walk so far.. still miss him when I'm there.

To be fair his kit may be top notch, we don't really know, but it's often not been cleaned 🤷‍♂️

Current league table 1st Czestochowa M 8 points 19 2nd Torun M 8 points 16.5 3rd Leszno M 9 points 13.5 4th Lublin M 8 points 13 5th Wroclaw M 7 points 12 6th Zielona Gora M 7 points 10.5 7th Gorzow M 9 points 8 8th Grudziadz M 8 points 3.5

That meeting had it all. Heat 14 and we were about 6 points down and we brought in Emil Lindqvist as a tac sub for one of the reserves and Wato as a golden double tac from 15 metres back. Glasgow gated on a 5-1 but Lindqvist dived under one of the Glasgow riders on turn 2 and the Glasgow rider come down. By the time Emil got back to the pits there was a crowd of Glasgow riders , management and mechanics waiting for him at the pits gate and he was pulled from his bike and stamped on on the floor. That tosser Beveridge was the one to cause his shoulder to pop out which effectively ended his career. in the rerun Smart replaced Lindqvist and we got the 8-1 and won the meeting. Wato was sensational that day, possibly the best performance I ever seen from him in a Newport race jacket. Superb. Think he got 19. i have said it before but Lindqvist would of gone on to become a top rider. He came over with Sweden under 21s and got the most faultless 15 point maximum I have witnessed at Newport against the Wasps. Beat Wato from the back three times and wiped the floor with Henriksson three times. When he signed for us a few weeks later his team riding was another level for such a young rider. He could gate, pass and team ride. That shoulder injury finished him, he did come back that season but i think his shoulder popped out mid race and he crashed again. Tim Stone told us that the plan was for him and Anders to spearhead the 2000 side the following season and he was going to bring his top gear and set ups over. Obviously never happened. i seen iversen come over and he was impressive to say the least but Lindqvist, for me, would of been better.

Hate the game not the player!

Or if he could really be bothered with the prep could he put a point to point and a half on his average as I have said previously if a rider has no lofty ambitions and just wants to earn a good living he is the blue print even allowing for just slinging the gear in the van untouched from the last meeting.

Would agree.Like my Seb Alden hoodie states” Second is first loser’.

Maybe we can replace Lawson with a GP star once the cup final is over

And it will be more than the tapes going up.

He does look up for a bit more doesn’t he. Seems a little more aggressive in tight situations than past seasons. If Dickson was to give him a slap every time he pulled up before the chequered flag he might do even better!

Me too, since around 15 years ago when he got to the stage that standing around, or sitting down, plus the walking, for any length of time got too much.. He stopped and then I gradually did as I realised I often just went because he wanted to... It wasnt until a few years ago he mentioned he only kept attending for several years because he thought I wanted to!!!... As he said in his broad Cork accent... "It was usually a right load of crap!"....

I can remember the Will Beverage and Emil Lindqvist incident where Will attacked Emil outside the pit gate while he was still sat on his bike and broke his collar bone, meaning he could not take his place in the re-run could be me mis remembering a shovel for a broom !!

It's not a rumour... you only have to turn up and watch him often come out for heat 1 with dirty bikes and race suit... fair play to him though he scores the points... which makes you wonder whether all the meticulous lengths a lot of the other riders go to, especially at the lower levels is really worth it?

So the rumours of turning up with dirty bikes and boots are true the old flannel not up to muster ?

Don't forget you can purchase the PPV through a VPN (Europe) for 14.99 euros 👍

There are a few 850zl tickets in the red section available. In the past the club have released standing tickets nearer the time of the event, not sure how well advertised they are. I have also seen in the past where all of the 'normal' tickets have stopped being sold for a period and then all of a sudden re-appeared. They did go on sale late last year so I'd suggest it's likely the 'normal' tickets are sold out. Might be worth dropping an email to biuro@speedway.torun.pl to check what the situation is. Rico

Have you seen the state of fhe art pressure cleaner Kelsey and Dan use?.. A cold water damp flannel is probably not the same level....

And, it really is now or never... With so few "top riders" currently, you won't be cutting back too much if you act now.. 15 teams, home and away once, and maybe some regionalised Cup competition (North and South split, ran like a league, then have cross region Semis and a final), would deliver circa 40 - 50 matches with play offs, depending on how your team does... The current DU's would need to cover their costs over these 40 to 50 matches.. And clubs would need to stand alone in the payments of the current DU's... Which would probably be the huge stumbling block..

It'd be interesting to compare that to a Richard Lawson Vlog 😂

Agreed! You have to cut back to grow again.

The Dan T Vlogs have been a real eye opener for me... The amount of equipment needed, and quite heavy duty machinery to fix things, must cost a small fortune... Someone has to pay the riders enough to spend such outlays, either through sponsorship or salary... And all to ultimately win.... ??????? It is truly the ultimate race to the bottom for Speedway teams... Who will win next?...

I'm out OUT,so don't worry I'll cope.

Ive always thought the third place play off is pointless really
