At no stage have I made anything up on this thread to politicise. It was another poster who suggested stock cars were allowed to run due to it being an amateur sport. It is my opinion that it is wrong for stock car racing to be allowed to run with fans when speedway is not afforded the same luxury. It is also my opinion that it is entirely the governments decision on when all parts of society reopen and that they will base those decisions on what they can gain from each individual case. Not sure what exactly in anything I have posted you could possibly have deemed out of order.

I used the stock cars at Ipswich as an example I did not generalise that ‘all amateur sport’ is allowed. Horse racing is to welcome fans back to Goodwood in a few weeks and thats professional. This government pick and choose which sports they are allowing to reopen based on how much it benefits them. And more likely in my opinion which industries ministers will receive the biggest back handers from to make it happen.

How is it anyone’s fault but the government? They are the ones making the decisions on which industries reopen and which don’t. Stock car racing at Ipswich is fine but no Speedway, how’s that work?

That would be the Tory government that the country voted overwhelmingly for last year. ‘You reap what you sow’ .

Scary to think how many fans wont receive their money back because clubs have already spent the money but then may have gone bust or closed by the start of next season anyways. Got to feel for those that have shelled out their hard earned.

Officially announced now that this season has been cancelled. Got to wonder for how many clubs this will be the final straw.

That would be working on the assumption the BSPA give a damn about anyone but themselves and their own goals.

We both know thats not true. You as a man in his 70’s are his only pal. Thats why he sits in his room at Digby telling you what to post because its the only joy he has. As I said, well matched.

Lol what a clown you are. Robin should really post all the drivel he gets you to post himself. He must be back to being a speedway lover again for a couple of months at the moment as he’s started posting again. You two are very well matched.

You really ought to stop listening to the tripe he puts you up to saying Colin.

If that comment offends you so much perhaps you should go and read a child's magazine instead. I was merely highlighting the ‘sickening’ amount of brown nosing that certain posters on here carry out on the club website blog. Absolutely harmless comment.

Hard to work out which one causes the most sick in your mouth

Shame he can’t put more effort into his brown nosing column he writes on the club website.

Robin really should have more of a life and stop putting you upto posting rubbish on this forum.

Get lost you clown.

You dont go anyways what difference does it make to you?

Bottom post on page 43 I stated that I agree with you that the tracks you had mentioned provide good racing. Hope this clears that up for you. Thanks.

Should have no bother giving a good commentary from Czestochowa tonight. Cracking racing track and riders in both teams not afraid to mix it. Should be a belter I can't wait.

Absolutely not a stature snob what so ever. I was a regular at Speedway in this country until I felt like it was no longer any value for money. I'm also absolutely able to acknowledge good speedway when I see it. Every Sunday and quite a few Tuesdays and whenever BV is on BT. Cheers.

Of course it matter's who you are going to go and watch. You wouldn't pay £100 for a ticket to go and watch Kidderminster vs Ebbsfleet but you may consider paying that to watch Barcelona vs Real Madrid. I agree that the tracks you mentioned do provide good racing but for me the general contempt fans are treat with here with I just wouldn't give a promoter here my money.

I fully understood what you said. You said 'The quality of racing and general meeting progression, well as a man who attends BV each week.....it was worse'. Whilst I agree the meeting from Rybnik was rubbish (alot to do with the weakness of their team) the Gorzow meeting for the first of the campaign was excellent. You"d never get to see BZ and Pawlicki going head to head like that in the UK and as I said that's what I like. In this country the promoters generally just take fans for mugs. Unannounced riders missing or riders that cant be bothered or just shouldnt even be riding speedway in the first place. Also, look how weak the product here is now. The elite league is just a glorified premier league these days but tracks charge £17-20 for the privilege of watching and expect fans to be grateful. The only track I've paid to go and watch in the UK in the last 5 years has been BV which is fantastic so I do understand why you enjoy watching speedway there every week.

You are lucky then if you get to watch BV every week as its the best track in this country by a million miles. However, for me, I prefer watching the worlds best riders riding at 110% every week in Poland not just seeing journeymen going through the motions or James Sargent breaking the tapes 4 times per meeting. Would be boring if everyone liked and wanted the same thing I suppose. Can I assume you didn't enjoy heat 7 from Gorzow ?

Really enjoyed the second meeting after the shambles from Rybnik. Good first effort from Gorzow without NKI against easily the strongest side again. When Zmarzlik gets going I think Gorzow will have a decent season. I thought Thomsen acquitted himself well and Wozniak as ever is a strong road block if he can gate. KK just same old frustrating KK. Leszno again going to be tough to beat. Emil and Piotr so strong with great backup (generally) from Kolodziej and then the bundles of improvement still to come from Kubera, Kurtz and Smektala. Personally don't mind there being no crowd as I'm only really interested in the quality of racing. Anyone saying this is on a similar level to Britain needs to give their head a considerable shake.

Difficult to tell what difference the widening will make until the meetings start but fair play for having a go at it. Hope it improves things.

There are thousands of people up and down the country that are finding it ‘really hard’. However, at no point does that make it acceptable to go out and rob a vulnerable adult at knifepoint. The very fact you’ve even tried to defend or even understand his actions is very worrying. He deserves every bit of punishment that comes his way the absolute lowlife scum.
