Surely Torun must be suspended from the league? Whatever happens, they are very bad losers! No doubt it will cost them a small fortune in compensation to Zielona Gora for loss of income on their biggest match of the year. Man Utd have Wayne Rooney injured, and refuse to play! No, I don't think so ...

The GoSpeed feed is mostly excellent quality (very occasional buffering), but then I have a 74mb/s broadband. You need to adjust the Med/ HD/ Auto onscreen control Who is the English language commentator? -edit : its David Rowe - interesting without the Pearson shouting (thankfully)

Amazing how the rest of the world's major leagues struggle on without guest riders, and we can't do without them in the UK. They don't know what they're missing.

I believe that Sweden already has a breakaway group? Svensk Speedway was due to operate on a couple of non-air fence tracks this season, independent of SVEMO, at Orebro and Karlstad. There is a Karlstad website at http://speedwayforalla.se/ (translation at http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fspeedwayforalla.se%2F&act=url)

I think he proved his "loyalty" to his country by his comments after the World Cup, when he slagged off the team manager and his team mates. Whatever the situation, you just don't do that. Just my opinion

Excellent coverage by Eurosport It shows that intelligent commentary - without childish screaming - works very well for our sport. Scott does an excellent job, and so probably would Kelvin, if you could separate him from NP. I'm beginning to like Steve Day (hope I got the name right) too.

Great stadium, shame about the track

Has anyone EVER seen good racing on an Italian track???

I am fed up of people moaning about the Eurosport Sky commentary team. The alternative is of course maybe these meetings not being televised

Verdict after heat 8 : Racing ... very good Commentary ... Steve Day boring (OK as presenter, not as race commentator); Scott Nicholls good Cameras ... I thought they were supposed to have additional cameras? If so, where are they? Not even a camera in line with the start/finish line?

And the result of heat 3 was ???

Reading that numbers of Polish fans "boycotted" the World Cup because of Gollob withdrawing / being "rested" / throwing his toys out of the pram must be rather worrying for not just Polish speedway, but the FIM too. The guy is 42, for heavens sake, and can't turn on the "class act" whenever he feels like it anymore. He's even been toying with moto-cross events this year. Surely his fans are going to HAVE to accept that his retirement is just around the corner? Yes, he's put thousands of bums on seats over the years, but sadly the likes of Hampel, Janowski etc don't appear to have the same kind of cult following. No doubt the Polish league will weather the storm of Gollob's retirement, but I'm not sure that the same will apply to the crowd levels at GP's and the World Cup.

I see that it has been reported (in both Speedway Star and Tygodnik Zuzlowy) that Joonas Kylmakorpi took part in the semi-final of the SWEDISH championship at Hallstavik on July 10, scoring 7 points. What's that all about? Is he riding on a Swedish licence?

Do we have confirmation that Eurosport will show the WHOLE meeting, but delayed until 3.30pm? Or will they just join the meeting live at 3.30pm so that we miss half the meeting? Surprised that Czestochowa, one of the best-supported teams in Poland, or the PZM, doesn't have track covers. One up to the BSPA?

Your original statement remains incorrect. After you amended it to reflect relevant earnings, then I agreed with you. Simple. KEEP CALM

No, that's what the Daily Mail is saying

Average earnings of £2,000 a month in the UK dwarfs the typical wage of £635 in Poland. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2209255/Polish-migrants-return-Britain-search-work-despite-UKs-struggling-economy.html#ixzz2YSvnhzl5

Speedway is more expensive to watch in Poland than in the UK???????? Completely untrue. Price to watch Polish Extraleague matches is either 25 or 30 zlotys, £5 or £6 UK. PLEASE tell me which British EL track charges less than that? Crowds are down in Poland? Yes, they have had a recession too. Crowds down for Extraleague regular season matches from an average of 9,303 in 2008 to 7,442 in 2012. Still way ahead of other leagues for which figures are available.

Worth remembering that both the Polish and Swedish leagues gave the double-point / joker / tactical ride a try and kicked it out after a season or two. Only used now in some MINOR leagues - Germany, Czech Republic, Denmark, U.K ...

Just one way that he is trying to drag our 1950's sport into the 21st century. If all that's wrong with Tai is "what he looks like", then he hasn't got much to worry about. But some will whinge about anything! OAP

There were some Spanish riders pre-war, racing in the bullrings of Madrid and Barcelona. Not at the same time as the bulls, presumably. A team of 4 Spaniards rode at Wembley in the late 1920's and were well beaten.

Agreed. Host nation should be seeded to the Race-Off, NOT to the Final.

Wouldn't have thought so, as I first heard about this Test 3 or 4 months ago, but I hope you are right. Were you listening to the German commentary? As I don't recall any mention of this on the English commentary.

Tickets were available on online for 35 zlotys (7 GB pounds). Scott - Freddie Lindgren (and Lukas Dryml) are not riding because they have a more important meeting at Eastbourne right now.
