They'll never get a crowd on a Monday night. .

As soon as riders stand around they go into non race mode and don’t fancy it. Seen it so many times. One or two can sway it for the majority.

With everything that’s going on in the world and it’s been a while since I’ve seen any speedway I kind of forgot how much some modern riders are prima donnas where there is a bit of rain around

Polish speedway is an embarrassment. The BSPA would have made an early decision.

I pity the fans hanging around lol

It’s just team practice at moment- Premier will be back in good time for heat 1

Neither will I Brummies_Ste. Had it been available on Freesports, BT Sport or Eurosport of which I subscribe too, then I might have watched some of it. However, I'm not desperate enough to want to watch speedway if means paying out more money to someone else.

How can they run on Monday, it's a UK night.

Yer one or two experienced/loud mouth riders decide no and the rest follow like sheep including the ref.

I Think the PA put a tape on of the fans whistling displeasure

Track prep currently taking place in Poland.

British riders are to happy with their comfort zone of riding two or three nights a week for a Premiership and Championship club, and making a very tidy living in doing so. Look how many British riders ride on a regular bases in the top leagues in Sweden and Poland, if you aren`t riding regularly at that level you cannot compete in the big meetings, SGP, SoN etc.

Cracking heat 13 !!!

not sure why- he`s not made a pass for 3 years

How many clubs have shown a home defeat in their transmissions? Edinburgh have.

You sound like one of the many CleverDicks who know exactly how to promote Speedway but have never had to guts to do it.

Re stage on Mon at 7pm I believe

To be fair, I do understand the reason for the displeasure. The track looked ok on first viewing but as I looked again you could see it was very, very grippy. Shamek was struggling a little and that was alone. Put 3 more riders in the mix and it becomes dangerous. Correct decision

Off

The decision on whether to rode should solely be the referees. You can't have riders making the rules.

I don't know why they don't come back tmrw it's not as if the riders are going anywhere soon

I like the team having some laps before the meeting. Speedway can be the only UK sport where there is no warm up before the match starts.

Polish tracks are a lot easier to ride, generally big and smooth so you can twist the throttle with no fear This is why Polish riders generally always struggled in the UK as they weren't used to the varying sizes and conditions. Just different skils/techniques.

It's definitely starting as it's on Eleven Sports 1 (Poland) and they have just done the toss for gates.. The track looks a 'bit sloppy' to say the least..

Me too

Speedway delayed as they are working on the track due to rain.

Polish feed still talking at the mo

No the commentary is in Polish. Watching it via You Tube on TV and it is not bad at all

Working fine on You Tube and it’s free!

He is 21 now isn't he? Not a veteran by any means but there are a good many riders Dan's age (and younger) who have been racing against (and beating) the world's best in the Polish League for several years.. And that is the standard he will be up against all his career as they all get older together... Many in this country see him as one of those 'rare talents' that come along none too frequently.. Riding strongly in the Polish top league should therefore be more than within his capabilty if he is to reach those dizzy long term heights that so many seem to see him attaining.. It definitely moved Max Fricke up several levels riding over there so it is 100% right that Dan gives it a go and sees where it takes him... A big ask though, and maybe expectations of the lad should be lowered somewhat and we just see if he can actually consistently compete at the very top level...

Better ride there from Bewley, first point!

Woffinden master class

sad to see Jarek tailed off at the back

thanks for the link r & r, just been watching a few heats

Fairly processional stuff in the first four races though very impressive race from Tai Woffinden.

Not many there...

No16, in case you want to get it right in the broadcast not confirmed yet, I assume it will be either Michal Curzytek or they'll leave it empty

Not yet- it might be 60 mins not 2 hours before the start when they confirm the team.

Make sure we dont hear the kettle go off or the Pizza man arrive.. .

Never thought I'd say this in 2020 but....HELLO FROM THE STUDIO

You could try starting up a Just Giving page

But you get 9 meetings minimum in that time unless they add more meetings from that date which I'm sure they will.. why wouldnt you do it and not cancel after 28 days and take advantage of the offer ??

NO roof or seating for 40,000

I live quite near as well, I agree with you. You have also to consider how it died before, despite having the best team in the country, lots of British international riders and lots of space. I suppose if it's run on similar lines to Scunthorpe, where the Stockcars subsidise the bikes, it might be viable but I imagine we can forget Bradford Council pouring shedloads of money into the place (which is what used to happen).

It's a stadium I can literally walk to. It is not in a good state currently and if you think a GP could be held anytime soon there, I would think again. Still think it will be while before we see bikes around the track competatively , never mind the thoughts of holding a GP there.

Steady Mike cabin fever starting to take hold.

Just signed up on Premier Sports - sadly it seems I took too long and have missed out on the 3 months free offer as the deal seems to have expired. Have managed to get 1 month free using promo code SPEEDWAY2020 though. Looking forward to it!

Hi JC71, online users can take the premier player option for £11.99 a month - no contract and promo code should work for that too. Think you’d have to cast through an app to play it on your tv though
