Riding for Lodz in div 1 in 2014.

What have I been doing on the OP since October ? Ritchie Woralls riding in Div 1 for Daugavpils

My first speedway hero-his 2nd half battles with Anders Michanek at Tilehurst in 1973 were better than most of the races in the main match.

We might !!!! if the FIM answer some questions such as 1 when did Zagar withdraw from the GP Challenge final 2 what are the FIM rules for replacing riders who withdraw. 3 which federations were contacted to provide a replacement and when 4 When Kildemand was promoted into the meeting proper why wasn`t a reserve nominated from the Holsted semi

Big row between Emil Satfutdinov and Czestochowa-Sportowefakty have published a letter from Emil to I understand not the club but the town(council) officals-Google translation so not in great English-however one can work out Emil was on the £ equivilent of £1500 per point plus signing on fee !! Ladies and Gentlemen . I decided to write to you the letter on the club speedway Włókniarz Czestochowa SA , because you are the only ones who can help me in my current situation, and I also know that several of you are fans of speedway . As you know in December 2012 I decided to compete in the team Włókniarz after seven years in Bydgoszcz. Negotiations regarding the contract on behalf of the club led me Mr. Arthur Sukiennik sales director KJG Company, which is a sponsor of the club. He assured me together with people from the club in the person of Mr. Kowalski Mizgalskiego and that the club is a reliable partner and always governs all obligations with respect to competitors participating in the team Włókniarz . Problems with current payments in relation to which my people , the club had been since May of this year. Many times I have met with Mr. Sukiennikiem , Mr. Mizgalskim and Mr. Kowalski on rising debt , and every time I ensured that I do not have to worry , because if you do during the season, that's for sure after the end of all arrears will be paid with respect to me . For Włókniarz season in 2013 won 174 points until 31.10.2013 club did not pay me for 123 points, and the amount of this stemmed what is 832 095 zł gross plus several installments of the amount to prepare for the season in the amount of 306 000 zł gross . To help the club in its difficult situation after another meeting with my manager Mr. Mizgalskim and Mr. Kowalski and after telephone conversations with the wife of Lord Sukiennik , which is a proxy in the club , and he was at that time in custody , agreed that 400 000 zł gross will I be paid until the end of November 2013 , and the rest of the backlog was entered into the addendum to the contract and is to be paid by the end of July 2014. Unfortunately , once again the club and those representing it failed to comply with the agreements concluded and until 12.12.2013 year on my account received only the amount of EUR 98 000 zł gross , informing me that he is trying to hard to repay indebtedness to my people what I have because I do not believe such assurances have heard many times. Please understand me, this period is for me now very heavy. Season finished injury , which I referred at the track fighting for points for Włókniarz fall exclude me from further competition for the top trophies and took me the opportunity to continue to earn money. Arrears terms of my mechanics and parts suppliers are the reason for me to frustration , because for the first time in my professional career, I am in such a situation. I came to Włókniarz with high hopes and a great desire to fight for the best final result. I enjoyed seeing the crowd so many fans for whom the ride was a huge pleasure. I felt the pride of being a leader of this team , earning her many meetings highest number of points , and with the highest average points per race . Never, in the worst forecasts , did not suspect that at the end of the season I will face such a sad situation , as a result of which I will have to ask for your help. I very much hope that you will be able to influence the peerage managers club and after your intervention , finally something moves in my case , because my promises so far submitted by the board members and co-owners of the club turned out to be just empty words. Hopefully I will expect a positive solution in my case. Emil Sajfutdinow " .

I am not claiming any Consipiracy theories,i also have nothing against Chris Harris,he competed in the Poole meeting and now finds himself back in the GP`S and I hope he does well. Everyone should know this was a FIM meeting and nothing to do with BSI. However I do feel there are legimate questions that can be asked about the FIM handling of Zagar`s withdrawl-As far as I know they should have asked ALL the non-qualifiers from the Lonigo semi-final in turn(through the riders federation) if they were able to ride in the meeting. Zagar pulled out we know on the Thursday(maybe sooner-we just don`t know) Practice wasn`t until Saturday morning-so not insurmountable for one of the following riders(in order) to say yes I will be there. Pavlic,Buczkowski,Dilger,Voldrih,Woodward,Jamrog,Benko;Franchetti and Magosi. Maybe the FIM rules say different-we just don`t know-but it would be good to get clarification.

ok for me http://www.speedwaygb.co/homepage

One competition too far as far as the BSPA are concerned-no facilities for any riders missing due to any European championship event.

Just to correct one point Haza-it wasn`t the semi-final it was one of the three 1st round qualifiers in St Johann where he scored 4.

Management Committee I would think.

You are wrong-Chris Harris is not a wildcard-Gollob was and has declined so the next in line from the Poole staged challenge final is promoted into the series.The rights and wrongs of Harris`s inclusion in that Poole meeting has been debated at length on the wildcard`s thread.

I would add that some people are happy to muddy the water by confusing track/meeting reserves and the accepted next in line call-up in case of withdrawl-we are not talking about a mickey mouse meeting here-this is a final with all 16 competitors 5 rides away from the GP series. yes with FIM meetings local federation riders are often called in at the last moment for missing riders-however I for one are still sceptical that the FIM did everything they could have done to fill Zagar`s place with a "qualified " next in line rider.

Maybe BT sport have out-bid them for the rights.

Thanks DGT for the digging-however like the German federation I`m still not entirely happy with the chain of events.If we remember back Pavlic and everyone else thought he had qualified for Poole from Lonigo-because the FIM failed to make it clear what would happen if Kennett failed to qualify from the delayed Holsted semi. I can understand why Pavlic with no equipment overhere couldn`t accept the offer to replace Zagar however Buczkowski who only failed to qualify for Poole in a Lonigo 4 rider race-off for 2 places up for grabs surely would have accepted if asked-5 rides away from the GP series. After all he had competed in Hungary and Italy.There was enough time for him or someone else to bring a "Polish engine " over for the Poole meeting.

As I have previously posted(more than once) Pavlic was 1st in line when Zagar pulled out-then Buczkowski,then Dilger(all in the Lonigo semi where Zagar qualified) I have also previously stated that Buczkowski was in the country racing for Peterborough the previous night so IF asked why did he not accept the booking ? It`s water under the bridge but it still doesn`t sit right with me.

The latest from Onesports Janek Konikiewicz "It seems there will be no ban for SGP riders in SEC 2014.Another strong signal that we have won-but still nothing official " http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/402422/uczestnicy-grand-prix-prawdopodobnie-beda-mogli-startowac-w-sec

World U21 champion it is then !

Gollob joins Jonsson and Safutdinov as the 3 seeded riders in the 2014 series-joining Vaculik,Pedersen and G Laguta the top 3 from 2013.

Synikalle-i have worked out who he is. It`s been like watching "through the keyhole" when David Frost(or was it Loyd Grossman) said "the clues are there ". I`m pretty sure it`s someone with a Speedway past-maybe the goal-posts were moved,the ball was taken away and he`s pitched up somewhere else I don`t take all this masquerading as a poole fan either.

Nicki Pedersen has joined Leszno

To be fair to Philip he was only responding to a stupid post from Polskizuzel(post 96 )

I am trying to list the riders signed-which as for the seniors could be up to 8/9 riders-so I don`t expect the top 5 to end up as posted so far. This Sportofawekty page gives the total picture including all the juniors attached to the clubs http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/394633/sklady-druzyn-enea-ekstraliga-2014

As far as I know he will be lining up for Czestochowa.

Greg Hancock looks to be on his way to Tarnow with Nicki Pedersen possibly ending up at Leszno.
