That was an absolute privilege watching The Brummies at Loomer Rd this evening.I even bumped into the legendary Potters supporter,Vog!

My first ever trip to Poland for a speedway meeting was in 2010 to Zielona Gora v Leszno meeting(couldn't speak a word of Polish,but am good at it now ).Stood in Sektor K with the Falubaz kibice(supporters).17,000 in the stadium and was almost full an hour before racing commenced.Away supporters were frogmarched from a meeting point to the stadium(more police than supporters).The atmosphere is like nothing else you will experience at a speedway meeting and if you're unfortunate you'll get tear gassed by riot police trying to leave the stadium,but don't let that put you off.

What fans?

And was in the same pub as myself in Prague last Monday,same flight coming home,and followed me up and down the same escalator at Tottenham Hale Station and then got on the same tube train as me. I thought I was being stalked!!

32 heats of speedway racing for £11.Beer £1.20 a pint,glorious sunshine,great atmosphere and the local rider wins the event.What a great weekend!!

Very enjoyable meeting.All 23 heats done and dusted in 2 hours and 15 minutes.Take a bow Christine Turnbull!Think this venue should hold a GP.Much improved since my last visit back in 2012.

Will do!

Cheers for the link regarding LT memorial meeting as I'll be in Praha on that date and am staying within walking distance of Marketa Stadium.

Looking forward to the whole weekend as i've never been to a ZP before.Haven't had my flights cancelled by Ryanair as yet.

Gardening Today with Bob Price and Cyril Fletcher would give them a run for their money!

Attention to the Dorset Knob(lovely biscuits by the way!!).Can you give us the result of heat 15 at Blunsdon Stadium tonight please?

Do you mean Latte as in Costa?

Priceless!!

There was also a ding-dong between the two of them in a Bydgoszcz hotel in 2010 before the GP

Sure is Trevor!Really like NRL(plus live State of Origin games) and NHL coverage they offer,plus the Rugby League World Cup later this year.

There's a deal just been offered on Premier Sports for Sky customers only(viewing card required).£25 for 12 months.Here's the link http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/12-months-premier-sports-for-25-2694518

It's 5 years this weekend since the speedway world lost Lee Richardson. Gone but not forgotten.

You won't get tear gassed at a speedway meeting in the UK either unlike Poland!!

Couldn't agree more TDM.I haven't been near Loomer Rd since the generator kept packing up,awaiting an ambulance to arrive,and Jason Bunyan doing a lap in complete darkness,but tonight was very enjoyable indeed.

Another factor you forgot to mention was whether they were able to board a train at Rugby without buying a ticket in an attempt to fare dodge!!

I've used AB Everest on a few occasions from Modlin Airport to Warszawa Centrum and they're highly recommended.

A fitting tribute womble 53. Like yourself I became really good friends with Mr Wallace on my trips to Armadale when the Brummies rode there on the Northern Tour.A very kind,warm hearted fellow,who made you feel so welcome in his home City of Edinburgh.Despite having Monarch riders residing with him,there was always the offer of accomodation,a trip to the tourist sights in Scotlands Capital City,a bowl of home-made soup,and a visit to the prize winning haggis suppliers.It was the highlight of the speedway season for myself!! I'd also make the trip up to visit him outside of the speedway season when the 6 Nations Rugby was held in Edinburgh.Remember well introducing my partner to him,when we took him for a meal locally,and he insisted on paying the bill!! I'll never forget that night at Perry Barr when Mr Wallace and the gang wore dreadlock wigs for the PL Trophy Final in 2008.One of the most hilarious sights I've ever seen at a speedway track!! I knew that the last few years had been very difficult for himself,his family and his close speedway friends(namely Midnight Lady,Davy H and Dekker).I'll never forget the call I had from Mr Wallaces' relative telling myself what had happened to him and things would never be the same again! God Bless you Dennis,you really were a gentleman,and will be sadly missed by all who knew you.Farewell my friend.
