I've just watched video on BSPA site. What a brilliant race track it seems to be. Pretty similar to some best tracks on the continent (kinda reminds me Bydgoszcz) Racing will be superb and I expect very good progress in Europe for riders like Cook after they gain more experience racing on it on a daily basis.

Poole much stonger without Bjarne with extra rides for Buczkowski, Holder and Kurtz twice (correct me if I'm wrong please). R/R can easy deliver 8-9 and I doubt that Bjarne is able to do that even from not that difficult number 2 position. Wright for Newman is a loss of course but Auty for Ellis at #3 can be like for like or close to that.

On Polish TV they said 1st heat at 20:00 UK time.

Thanks SCB. And is it true that Ellis will actually be a heat leader?

What is Pirates full lineup for tomorrow? I'm confused a bit as someone said Ellis @#3 now and Kurtz dropped to reserve. Latests Green Sheets on BSPA still have Ellis on 3.00 ave: http://speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/el16_issue_7.pdf

Why on earth this British speedway still has to be so complicated? EDR, FTR, R/R, guests, PL average, converted average etc. One really good idea to promote young Brits has already been turned into a farce with 40 years old Robson guesting on Wednesday. Why can't they go Polish way and make it simple? 2 under 21 Brits/team. Then they can move up from reserve to main body if they are good enough. Someon may say that there is no 16 U21 Brits good enough to ride in 8 EL clubs. Believe me, in Poland some of them are also bad but make progress and later they become next Zmarzlik, Pawlicki, Dudek to only name 3 top young riders. System simply works and you tried to follow but already cocked it up.

R/R for Summers - everyone but Ulamek can get an extra ride R/R for Schlein - everyone can take one Am I correct here?

Buczkowski, Ellis and Newman to cover Brady's rides?

Why was Steve Worrall still at reserve? With higher average than Ritchie?

Any link to confirmed info then? Thanks in advance Stevebrum. As a British speedway fan from Poland I can only see positives: -no more mess in speedway schedule (Tuesday Sweden, Wednesday+ Thursday UK, Friday and Saturday world and euro qualifiers/finals/GP's, Sunday Poland). Other leagues like Russia, Germany and Denmark are small enough to fit them somwhere in without much impact on top 3 leagues. -proper Elite League table during regular season (only affected by rain-offs which happen in every league) -much easier planning for both riders and fans (just book few Wednesdays/Thursdays off in advance and you are sure to catch EL speedway action) -possibly better TV coverage on Sky with a chance to have something like weekly EL summary with highlights, interviews analysis (we have one in Poland every Sunday evening and is pretty popular) Will it attract more top boys? Surely some of them yes as schedule + time for travel will not be that busy anymore. Will it bring more money to British speedway? Possibly. All the mess you guys have over there right now just simply has to be stopped. I would add some kind of squad system (with shared no. 1 positions for example) and remove all guests and R/R rules to let fans finally feel that the team they are watching is the same all season long.

Hi guys is it speculation only or something confirmed by BSPA/clubs? I mean whole idea of 2 fixed race nights in 2017. That would be great step forward.

Was hoping for some positive changes like semi-squad system (with shared heat leaders role to bring some top boys back) but it will be bigger mess with FTR now moving to main body and main body riders dropping to reserve positions.

Cookie what a star! I believe he will be in Ekstraliga next year. Guy is loving grippy tracks and knows how to gate. Rzeszow? Wroclaw (together with Tai)?

Even if Kacper is not fit, R/R will cover his absence. Extra rides for Watt, Newman, Starke = 7-8 points.

Any idea when result will be officially confirmed? Was there any post match protest?

Zmarzlik saved Gorzow for BSI. Still IMO product is less attractive and rights holders need to do somerhing to attract best riders back (Emil).

Thanks

What happens if there is a draw on aggregate after 2 matches? Golden/sudden death heats in Sweden but in Poland team that finished regular season higher wins it. How is it like in GB?

Correction to my post above. Seems that GSA Issue 23 is being used. Gomolski 5.14 then and PK doesn't fit. In fact only Musielak and Porsing achieved lower avarages (from top 5's of non playoff teams). Expect R/R then with extra rides for North and reserves.

Who can guest for Gomolski? If R/R then who will be able to take extra rides? Kacper is riding in Ekstraliga bronze medal on Sunday. No way he will stay injury free. Just found out myself. Peter Karlsson. 5.51, same as Gomolski. Fits in perfectly. North and reserves if R/R. SUrely better option too. Dak will be ready for Monday but I bet he will get some kind of excuse for Wednesday to use Kennett again. All pretty predictable to be honest.

Guest system is destroying this sport in uk. Poland and Sweden accepted RR but not guests. Which is right IMO.

Watt, Gomolski and Newman all had perfect night. Will not improve scores at home. North is scoring zeroes everywhere, not expecting much improvement either. Holder and Starke potentially much better at home and Janowski able to add couple more pts. On the other hand can't imagine Harris, Howarth and Lindgren scoring less. Garrity (if fit) and Sarjeant both able to score pretty much the same. Hans less than 13 for sure. Poole one leg in the final but they have to finish the job and it will not be very easy.

I know options are limited but I would prefer Richard Lawson.

LIndgren guesting again on Monday?

Abandoned after heat 14? Polish Eurosport just moved to some other stuff.
