THE DEAN MACHINE

Do hope they can make a meeting of it but I just think Toruń have too many good riders to let 20 points slip

When you are racing the outside noise sort of passes you by, you tend to get caught up in the actual racing until after the meeting but even saying that you can create an decent atmosphere with 500 people and being Ipswich you would think there would be well over 1000, so really it’s the type of people that are there rather than the numbers, clubs need to start thinking about rent a crowd to start creating an atmosphere which I believe a couple of clubs have tentatively tried

Well that’s game over for Wrocław, they have collapsed in the last 4 races

Some fantastic racing tonight, 17,175 fans there

As you expect, fantastic atmosphere

It is heavy rain at the moment, I will never understand why they didn’t build an extra 6ft on the roof all round

Toruń v Wrocław delayed cause of rain

Zmarzlik and woryna as a team pair remind me of historical pairings like Ermolenko/Correy Hamill/Hancock ward/holder

Awful looking crash, good to see him walk away

Just finished watching this meeting as the Mrs accidentally recorded the athletics instead,fantastic meeting, woryna deserved winner

Correct decision

The whole relegation battle rests on the ref

Tungate dived

Lidsay and bedna unable to get away from their bikes, always a tough one, Lidsay deliberate breaking tapes there, clearly not fit to race so a tactical move

Worrying start for gorzow, could Częstochowa pull off the unthinkable ?

I knew you lot couldn’t live without me and I couldn’t let you suffer the trauma ,back by popular demand (said nobody ever) 😂

Not in the Black Country it isn’t

And I if hear riders safety one more time🤬firstly racing motorbikes is dangerous, don’t like that fact do something else, 2nd,ok riders let’s talk about lowering the revs by 2000revs on the engines and make them less volatile and ultimately a considerable amount safer to ride ? No I didn’t think so

I would of raced last night but riders were of a different mindset back in the day and we raced engines that were suited to the conditions not conditions suited to the engines, with that statement can anyone see where the problem is ???

The first thing we need to sort out in 2027 is we need to get the fun factor back into British speedway, it is sadly lacking in modern speedway and fans (those left ) feel it

I do believe it, I’ve been there, I have prepped a couple of tracks over the years and have been in enough meetings to know how riders moan, the riders are the first to moan about the tyres not up to the job but you put dirt and water down which would help the tyres and they moan cause the engines which “they” choose don’t like it, this is why the dictatorship that is riders running the sport for the riders needs to stop

I’m sick of dusty tracks, it’s not just Poole it seems to be everywhere in current speedway and ultimately it makes for crap racing, put some god damn water down and if the riders moan tell them to sod off and do something else, it seems no consideration is given to fans getting covered in dust these days, Poole attendance levels are maintained by their winning ethos but for a play off meeting I thought that crowd was poor

Put some f**king water down, heat 1 and it’s a dust bowl, there is no need for dust at all on an evening meeting

He is a top man, had many chats with him back in the day, I just had to concentrate on what he said lol

Greg has only got a mild accent, try having a conversation with the machine examiner at Edinburgh, now that’s a hard guy to understand
