racers and royals

Yes one or the other-not both

All great in theory-but I`m sure it will all be sorted before the draft-riders after all will only ride where they want too. Who will be the 2 non-picks in group 1 Roynon and Boxall ??

Chris Holder staying with Torun-their squad complete now. Janusz Kolodziej staying with Tarnow.

I must have missed the news that Grudziadz have accepted the invitation to compete in the Extraleague in 2015-their first signing is Kristof Buczkowski.

Reports from Poland suggest Leszno will host the Event one World cup meeting(along with Kings Lynn) with the race-off and final in Vojens.

Mores the pity then that Darcy didn`t seek out Greg to ask him how professional sportsmen should conduct themselves whilst competing-sure Greg could have told him a thing or two.

According to a Polish report Grigori Laguta is the 1st of 3 permanent wild cards to join the 5 qualified riders already named Emil Sayfutdinov Peter Kildemand Nicki Pedersen Martin Vaculik Janusz kolodziej

With the final U21 round at Pardubice on Saturday 19th September, can we assume the Golden helmet weekend in 2015 is 18/19/20th September ?

This season 1st round was April 12th so good chance of league fixtures the following day.. Fixtures were announced for season 2014 on January 9th-so expect similar for 2015. Nearest to Warsaw is Torun about 160 miles then Tarnow/Rzeszow

Marek Cieslak has joined div 1 side Ostrow and the 1st signing could be Rune Holta.

It gets very messy in Poland at times-if the rider owed doesn`t ride -the club then counter claims.Czestochowa claimed all sorts of things in Emil`s case.

Sportowefakty are saying that Emil Sayfutdinov has left Torun and could end up at Leszno.

Batchelor released by Wroclaw.

So how does the Swedish Elite league go about creating a meaningful league programme with only 7 clubs. This is the R& R suggestion. Regular season part 1 Each team meets each other home and away=6 home 6 away Regular season part 2 the top 3 teams after part one are guaranteed play-off spots. They now meet each other home and away again= 2 home 2 away -points gained in part 1 are carried on to part 2 Top team after part 2 can choose play-off semi opponent and choice of 1st leg home or away. Teams placed 4-6 after part 1 meet each other home and away= 2 home 2 away and the top team after part 2 makes play-off. Team in 7th after part 1=season over. NB no team in 4-6th position overtakes top 3 in 2nd phase. 2 semi`s and grand final all over 2 legs.

Hatchet job-latest from the greyhound side of things http://www.racingpost.com/news/greyhounds/panorama-criticism-provokes-intense-debate/1749435/top/

Good post-I would add that as far as I know most club`s press officer has access to their clubs login/back room details so will do any updating/post stories themselves.

And by someone who by his posts is extremely close to Poole Speedway

For those bemoaning the delay in the hearing-we are today just 2 days into the European "close season" -hardly at the eve of next season stage !!!

Greg Hancock has signed for another season with Piraterna.

Is Darcy`s next to a pub

I see Neil Middleditch has given another stunning interview in the "star" today about Mr Ward-slagging off the FIM mercilessly but in my opinion the best bit is and I quote " If heaven forbid they give him a year ban, even dating back to when the offence was committed,we`re into August next year. That`s the season done We need to know what`s happening " A year ban-the end of the world-unbelievable. Tough s**t I say !!

Video of Gorzow`s open top bus league title celebration http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/477798/gorzow-powital-mistrzow-polski-wideo good song to go with it .

Which is the Swedish league format as well

It doesn`t have to be within the BSPA though-does it ? Peter Oakes did all the assessed averages the other year-so it can be done by outsiders.

Absolute tosh-gradings should be done by the opinions of an independant panel-Woffinden should be in the top grade of rider.
