My point was that we had 55000 to see the warsaw debacle. Will have 40kish at cardiff. Even Around 8000 in Prague where racing is notoriously poor. But 7.5k in torun. How many in bydgosh last year?(albeit clashing with women's basketball), both tracks where racing is almost guaranteed to be good. My point was that attendance is barely linked to expected quality of racing, at least as a "standalone" feature.

Can only see a home win unless the lakeside reserves have a shocker

Yep superb racing. But did I see an attendance figure of 7500? Shows that fans pay to see speedway in a top notch stadium, not based on quality of racing surface.

Awful in warsaw

Steve brum in WHOOSH shocker, there's a surprise!

About ten posts up?

I would would start from heat one but skip the gaps between races, wouldn't take long to catch up to "live"Just my preference

Superb meeting, hope those who bemoan modern speedway watch this. Almost every heat had passing and some tough moves. Really hope we see Emil and Darcy back in GPS next year. Killer lindback and the lagutas would all enhance it as well.

Is baby pawlicki still injured?

Get rid of Hans then. I'm sure he will struggle to find a team willing to take a chance on him with a 6.4 average.

Normally agree with your posts, but not here.The main issue in Warsaw was not the track, but the starting gate and poor.weak officials. Vojens was one of the all time great meetings? Not much you could do about the first day rain off. Not an Olsen fan, but we even got good racing in Prague this year.

Didn't this happen to ty about a month ago?Remind me again what criminal convictions Darcy has in the UK? Have you never made a mistake oldass? Hasnt murdered anyone FACT people want him hung im voting ukip stop! Immigration Have you never made a mistake oldass? Hasnt murdered anyone FACT people want him hung im voting ukip stop!

Especially when the TAC sub creates a potential 4 point swing vs 3 for the joker (obviously TAC joker can cause a 7 pt swing).

Assuming ef were genuine,with it being that close surely with the meeting lost he should have been sent out for heat 15 with instructions to "do a penhall".

Would also havep to add gollob Wilkinson sigalos Lee duggan Huxley and farndon.Nicki may not be as naturally gifted as some of those but he is a three times world champ. In some ways reminds me of Hans who I believe Erik once referred to as racing "like a stock car driver"

pks average is far too high.King is about the best guest that fits. RR is a decent choice imho

Think it will be close actually, hopefully aces to pick up an away win.

Tbf even back in the 80s I seem to recall cradley ridrrs dropping the early season points to enable Simon Cross to be fitted in - I don't think it is a purely modern phenomenon though play offs may have exarcebated it

Tbf if Swindon were trying to lower batch's average sure ly he should have gone out in heat 15? Or like Sheffield with ty proctor would that have been too complex for management to figure out?

It was ever thus. I've got ian thomas account of the 80 grand slam team and the issues they had gettiñg non riding reserve john Davis paid the equivalent of 4 rides start money. 3 ridersbis barely a team. Personally would love to see a world pairs (no reserve), world cup (4;rider teams one reserve) and world test champs (6 rider teams, two reserves), the latter run over a two year period.

Good win for the aces. Is Troy s average now below 7 - scb? Who was north guesting for and how? If this was poole this thread would be longer than the Greg one

Are you starman's less intelligent twin? Do you know what "national" means? And are you aware that Sweden is not in Britain?

So why not just allow a reserve as always used to be the case? Surely the additional cost is immaterial in the scheme of things?

Whereas normally that only kicks in immediately after heat 10...
