  2. Glad you enjoyed that Steve.I thought that was a very poor advert for speedway.Good for moto cross,not speedway. The winner Dudek said it all really"dangerous"

  8. Zmarzlik clearly didn’t like that track but put 3 good heats in his first 3 rides, pretty much putting him the semi and put in good 2 first corners when it mattered and it’s job done, stretches his world championship lead

  9. If I was casually watching and not a Speedway fan, then I would suggest I would definitely have kept watching given the unpredictable nature of virtually every race... For the purist maybe not a great advert.. For the non fan, maybe it has pricked interest? I personally enjoyed it given the huge challenges facing the riders....

  11. seeing how important TV is they need to pick only tracks which will produce racing even if the crowd is miniscule, e.g in front of 6000 at Belle Vue

  14. As somebody who negotiates million-pound deals for a living, silence is when both parties are making the most progress. We have made contact with all of the top Ekstraliga riders. Just have some patience!

  16. Don't get why Bomber was excluded in heat 15 was clearly in front of Morris, updates said he went round to make sure he was okay think you'll find it was Leon who went round

  25. A couple of heads have dropped cause of track surface and a few others are settling for safe places after 1st corner rather than chasing the win, can’t blame them really but it’s meetings like this that make a world champion

  26. My youngest as only ever been once about 6/7 years ago to Stoke for a Heathens NDL meeting. After the meeting he said he could tell even tho the teams had youngsters in they seemed really professional compared to the running of the meeting. He actually said professionals riding in an amateur sport. He sussed that after one meeting

  28. FYI When Poland issue their weekend schedules , the PZM always list consecutive Saturdays & Sundays, & do not confirm the actual race day until c. 2 - 3 weeks before the event. This I believe is linked to sponsorships & tv scheduling. Furthermore Saturday & Sundays are the priority days for Polish fixtures which all contracted riders are obliged to fulfil. If anyone had checked previous fixtures held at Tarnow this season, they've used Saturdays. Further feedback from Poland indicates that the stadium in Tarnow is unavailable for speedway this Sunday as it is being used for a local festival event. The Edinburgh Promotion should have been aware of how Polish fixtures are confirmed & should have not agreed to the weekend date until the PZM announced the official date. They should have informed Glasgow they would visit on either the Saturday or Sunday once the the PZM announced the official date. This would have been c. 2 weeks beforehand. What makes it more galling was that Glasgow had suggested it be moved from their normal off race day of Sunday to Saturday, due to a possible tv clash with Scotland playing Wales in the World Cup Qualifier in Cardiff, which never materialised! BTW as the home team was Tarnow, kindly explain how the visitors "Rawicz, changed there fixture from sunday, to saturday for unknown reasons"

  29. Watching Teterow qualifying times. Looking at the stadium I reckon Workington could have a GP next year with not much more work.

  30. Would it not have been better to have just cancelled the meeting and rearrange when all riders are available, Huge meeting for Edinburgh and are having to use guests for their 2 best riders, and then people ask what is wrong with the sport.

  31. Is that a statistical fact? I've never felt the need to keep a record of every heat over the course of 25.5 seasons but, if you have, fair play. Not entirely true. --‐--‐----------‐------------------------ The first Friday of weatherman summer (don't worry, the official version will be along soon) left yours truly stunned and pleasantly surprised by both the Monarchs display and the half time score. The soap dodging Tiggers appeared desperate to press the self destruct button from the off, with both Cook and Nicol giving the starting team some much needed practice at replacing the tapes the right way up at the first attempt. Things didn't improve for the visitors when Danyon went down a canyon in heat 2, the beginning of a frustrating evening for the talented young chap. Heat 8 saw a tremendous effort from young Ruml, which meant I had to applaud a Yank. Can't say that happens too often. There were some interesting first turns throughout the night, including heat 11, when Pickering attempted to go by Hook and by Cook in the space of one straight. His mere 50% success rate gave the Tiggers their third and final winner of the evening. However, young Joshszcz got his revenge on the visiting number one with two unbelievable efforts in 13 and 15, joining Samszcz up front for 5-1's. I have to say, Masters was imperious last night. Dominant and untroubled. Exactly what I expect every home meeting from the best rider in the league. After all that, we're left with a 16 point lead. However, I'm not naive enough to think we'll go through. I fully expect a 60-30 tonight, accompanied by mucho Weegie chirping. That's cup speedway for you. Roll on Friday. Not that I'll see it. A lady in the office is emulating her hero, Justin Elkins. At least she lasted 24 years, as opposed to 24 yards...

  33. Full credit to Leicester. Quicker out of the gate all night. Edwards was a master stroke. The Thompson’s were able back up to boot. Bit of needle after heat 15 but from where we were Harris is in front going into the corner and what’s he supposed to do. Turn the bike or go straight into the fence. Yea it’s the 3rd home defeat but it’s not without injuries and bits of bad luck. Crowds are up by the look of it and who doesn’t enjoy a close meeting. Gone are the days of filling in yer programme after the first 2 bends. I’m sure the lads will battle on and give their all . Good win for the bullits to finish off the evening

  34. Probably had Masters and Pickering been there it wouldn't have got as close , but the what ifs are hard to swallow . Think it was the first time I've ever seen Sedgmen pass anybody which he did in the last lap of the final heat

  38. I admit I'm not a dog owner, but I have respect for all animals. But it seems to me, we have moved dog ownership up a cog, whereby, owners seem to think it's a good idea to take the dog everywhere, including a noisy environment like speedway. We now have many dog friendly restaurants, which I feel is not condusive with health and hygene. A dog, is a dog, is a dog, not a human being! Don't get me wrong, we have many, so called, human beings, who behave worse than animals!

  44. Curious situation. Obviously Atkins' original ban for withholding his services is over, but by now accepting a guest booking as a member of the Plymouth 1--7, surely Atkins has acknowledged and accepted his place in the Plymouth 1-7. So having restarted riding, if he doesn't turn up for the next Plymouth match (having now acknowledged his place in their 1-7 and used it to take a guest booking) then he should get another ban for withholding his services again?

  46. Turbo Twins?? Chris Holder and Darcy Ward were given that title for a reason. Giving that name to the Thompson's is the same as putting Ant & Dec in the same company as Morecambe & Wise.
