  1. That's why the sport needs 100" s of young kids in attendance every week.. And not sure that will happen on a Monday night in particular... Young kids bring, in the main, young adults.. Hence, tracks should fight tooth and nail to get young kids into the stadium... Even if all kids for free.... The bigger the crowd, the less inhibited people are, which means more atmosphere created.. Plenty of 60 somethings attend football, (due to the costs the elder age group make up a fair portion of the crowds), however, mine, and their behavior at Old Trafford surrounded by 74,000 is certainly different than at the NSS, where I am surrounded by just a few programme filling people.... Last nights meeting at Lublin was remarkable, however, if only 1200 were there to watch it, with hardly any away fans, it would have been as unremarkable as many UK meetings become with a similar standard of racing...
  2. They arrive Thu/Fri as they know that their eviction summons won't get processed till Monday at the earliest... Tuesday on BH weekends.. My stores had a major problem with them as concrete car parks were perfect for them.. Therefore. My company (through a third party so no trace to us), employed a "security company" to arrive and ensure that the car park remained "safe".. In reality, it was three "big lads" with three big Alsatians that stayed overnight... The dogs stayed outside their transit van,continuously barking which triggered the pikeys (I mean travellers), dogs,and also scared their horses all night, ensuring plenty of noise.. The lads were all body cammed up, looking like Police, and sat up all night playing music... Any verbal altercation was met with "I have to tell you that I am recording this conversation both visually and with sound. For your protection and mine"... They hated those words... I was always in for 7am and would catch up with the security lads for an update and, invariably, they would telll me that "head pikey", I mean traveller, was going to see me later that morning... Around 8am he would come over and agree to clear off if I let them use the toilet and washroom facilities... Which I obviously did... Word soon got round their communities that our company wasnt somewhere to go to, and the problem quickly stopped....
  3. A shame no one broadcasts it over here... The Polish league being shown would certainly help boost interest in the UK version of the sport, who could "piggy back" off it... Admittedly, given the enormous difference in the operating models, and level of riders, the boost may not last too long, but that woukd be down to the UK promoters to resolve, and maximise any potential growth...
  4. Big noisy crowd means great atmosphere, which then makes even the "average races" seem good... And then when you get a "special one" the place goes up!!!. Two decent, well matched teams, a big crowd, including away fans, great atmosphere and decent racing... Surely someone over here could use that template and deliver something a bit nearer to Poland than what we have currently...?
  5. Been great to watch for a fair few years, but didn't always get the focus... You've never won a race until the flag with Woryna behind... For many years he has been one of the few who have given Zmarzlik zero respect when riding against him.. Which amazed me even more that he let himself get dive bombed by Zmarzlik in the GP.. Usually he reads it and goes left down the back straight... Maybe getting a bit soft now he is his team mate...
  6. I remember Kelvin saying something about Holder leaving Lublin, and Vaculik and Zmarzlik being good mates, and that Bartek requested they brought him in.. A strange signing given they gave up Holder..
  7. That's why Poland get so peed off when they get injured elsewhere... A fair call...
  8. Good ride from Lidsey, from the back to get second... Three rides and scored two more than last night already... Kowalski seems to only ride one track well... Looks like Wroclaw need 33/34 from Kurtz and Janowski this evening...
  9. He'll be missing tonight so as he doesn't aggravate the aggravated knee..
