  1. One of my heroes as a lad.... Had a plastic necklace the same as him..
  2. Back to back titles suggest he is already up there considering so few do it..
  3. Another Polish legend Ziggy Boniek delighted too..
  4. The right result.. No mickey mouse scoring system beat him.. Well done lad... Box office...
  5. A bit like a basketball match.. Just show the last five minutes..
  6. Presume not many of the riders are watching other races to see how many third bend undertaking dives are taking place?
  7. Not many become the best in the world without being ruthless to the point of reckless..
  8. Maybe Woffy is letting others score to keep Zmarzlik out?
  9. Because it had rained earlier so they tyre packed it and ran it slicker in case more rain came..
  10. 6-0 to Wroclaw... Well done Max Fricke... Fricke, Lidsey, Bewley... The Aces conveyer belt of talent... Rode hard tonight Max which has been a criticism of him... Think he now believes in himself more..
  11. Wow.... Doesn't wonder what might have been Zmarzlik does he...?
  12. Great ride from Fricke.. Learnt from the first lap and blocked the third bend dive.. Tough environment in which to learn but he seems to be doing it..
  13. In the past you would always expect him to win these races that nowadays you feel he will get beaten in..
  14. U21 result read out by Nigel... Edit : Just the top four in detail though.. Didn't do 5 to 16...
  15. Do you mean you didn't know he had won his race when you said he was boring? And then said he had no opposition? Mystic Shovvy....
  16. 100% They even gave him gate 3 in his first race knowing fine well that it was bound to be the best by then...
  17. 100%... And if he was capable of holding an inside line he wouldn't have had any problem..
  18. And the positive for those "dodgy weather" evenings is that many simply decide nowadays not to go as "several times bitten, many more times shy" is very much the thinking when time and again you pay to get in and throw your cash down the (probably blocked) drain... At least with streaming those who decide to give it a miss can then still put a few quid into their club which, by not turning up in person, they won't be doing... A little from a lot can soon mount up...
  19. Not sure.. I would be nterested in the 'odd' streamed meeting at £7/£8 but probably wouldnt attend any matches 'live' all season as not really interested in following the sport under it's current operational model of "not being a proper team sport".. So I would watch it like I currently watch Sweden and Poland, ie "just watch the racing" for what it is.. And that could be any teams not just Premiership teams In fact, charge me £20 a month for a full streamed season ticket's racing, and the sport could get circa £120 or so out of me that they currently wouldn't get one penny of.. I would suggest there are many, many more thousands who still follow the sport actively via satellite broadcasts, on here, and via Speedway Star, than actually attend domestic Speedway regularly, with many from defunct tracks and many who basically "gave up" on British Speedway. Ardent followers of the sport but who basically dont put anything at all into the coffers of the sport over here.. So a potential huge market for a streaming service to aim for I would think.. And who knows, maybe it could rekindle interest enough to persuade some to go back and visit the stadiums again?
  20. My local football team (Stockport County), are charging £7.50 per game and free to season tickets purchasers.. I wouldn't think that £7.50 is too far away from what Speedway clubs could charge I would think given County are fifth tier, non league.. It's a one camera operation with the usual local radio commentary..
