  1. Interesting to see 2 Russian boxers Berbatov and Bivol fighting each other in the Main Event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night . Seemingly like the tennis, boxing doesn't regard the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a justification for banning athletes from their sports. Both those sports have coverage that only Speedway could dream of in the UK and I've never heard of any criticism of their participation in both sports in our press. What then is the justification for Sayfutdinov and Lagutas continuing absence in World Championship events?
  2. Yes I know , amazing how the prices have plummeted. Again this year ,we'd already decided we were never paying the ridiculously exorbitant prices for a couple of nights in a budget Cardiff hotel when for a lower price we could get return flights , 4 nights hotel accommodation and train travel for a GP in Poland.
  3. What a pity the Speedway GP in Cardiff has been cancelled this year. Just had a quick look on the booking sites and the hotels in Cardiff are quite reasonably priced for that weekend. I think a fair few people may have made a weekend of it this year 🤔 😆 🤣 .
  4. Not really sure why the Lions team was announced over a number of days being as there were absolutely no surprises whatsoever in the team selection and 99.9 % of the supporters already knew the line up.
  5. What a fantastic team Ipswich have assembled. The type of team that'd get you off your backside and want to go and watch if there visiting a track close to you. Time for other Premier League clubs to step up to the challenge and for their supporters to stop their constant moaning about the Polish League destroying British Speedway. It hasn't at Ipswich. Let's see more of the top GP riders over here that will draw improve the standard of the Speedway.
  6. Tickets now on sale. Bought ours today. Another fantastic weekend in a great City is guaranteed with the added bonus of a Speedway meeting thrown in for good measure. What's not to like about that. 😀👍
  7. But is a weekend in Wroclaw better than a weekend in Prague ! ? That was some weekend last year in Prague. Already booked flights for next May. Transport to and from airport to City centre and onwards to stadium can't be beaten for ease of access and cost 😀. Another GP weekend with flights and accommodation for less than 2 nights in a Cardiff hotel
  8. How about having a British team in the Extraliga more like ! How great would that be. Would have to be Belle Vue as it's the only decent British track available.
  9. Our 2nd night tonight in Poznan. Tomorrow we're on the train to Torun and spend 2 nights in Torun for the GP. Home Sunday. All travel and accommodation for less than 2 nights in a Cardiff hotel for our own GP. Something wrong there.
  10. Brilliant result and great to see that the NSS has another meeting this season . Makes the final worth watching
  11. Has to be Belle Vue regardless of the strength of either team . Just a much better racetrack.
  12. What Leicester would give to have him in their team tonight. They'd be only one outcome so you're right what you say.
  13. Really enjoyed the meeting considering we were nonplussed about attending a venue over 5 hours from our home. Seems a lot of people weren't that impressed with the racing which surprised us. We enjoyed it Still think it's a disgrace that the majority of the hotels were half empty and still charging ridiculous overnight prices on the day. Not sure whether that's down to greed or due to a lack of staff in hospitality which is understandable. Speedway GPs are a weekend event and ideally you stay locally. Its no good having cheap family tickets if there's nowhere affordable for them to stay.
  14. Let's hope so. Prices now are ridiculous. GP's for us are a weekend away and not just watching a Speedway meeting. Amazed that our own British GP is perhaps one the most expensive ones to attend in the whole GP calendar.
  15. Are half the hotels in Cardiff going to be empty on Saturday night ? Will people honestly pay nearly £200 for 1 night in a Ibis Budget in Cardiff . They must be mad. We've always stopped but not this year . I refuse to pay more for for 2 nights in a Cardiff City centre hotel than we are paying for flights and 4 nights accommodation in Torun for the Polish GP. Infact if we hadn't already arranged to go with friends we'd have given it a miss. Definitely the last one for us.
  16. Whose idea was it not to have a draw and how long has this ridiculous rule been applied. I'm one of the target Speedway supporters who doesn't attend meetings anymore and how it's run nowadays that's not going to change anytime soon.
  17. Aggregate scores level in a KO Cup match then by all means have the extra heat. I'd go back to 2pts for a win, 1 point for a draw in all league matches. That's it no bonus points whatsoever. Keep it simple
  18. Saw a post somewhere saying why don't people go to Speedway anymore. Look no further than tonight .45 - 45 away at Sheffield. What a great point that used to be . Absolutely ridiculous that the home team walk away from that meeting with an extra point. Pathetic isn't the word.
  19. Live Polish Extraliga on TV over here !! Absolutely brilliant idea , sell out crowds some fantastic stadiums , 1st class presentation & professionally run ! We could learn a lot what's not to like ?
  20. Our first visit to Prague and it was one of the best GP weekends we've ever had. You'd have to go a long way to get a better experience than we had over those 4 days we spent in the Czech capital. It's the only GP weekend we've done where we had to find time to fit in the meeting ! . As we were there we didn't think that the racing was that bad considering the awful weather , which from early morning until 4pm saw heavy and constant rain. Any meeting in the UK would certainly not have gone ahead and indeed would have been cancelled just by the predicted weather forecast.
  21. Mallila is miles from anywhere as well. It ust be absolutely miserable for everyone in the crowd that is having to hang around and wait for the weather to clear in the hope of seeing some Speedway. Its definitely not a pleasant place to be sat around waiting in the rain
  22. Flights already booked along with 4 nights accommodation in Poznan & Torun and all for for less than the price of 2 nights accommodation in Cardiff. This year Cardiff is a day trip for our group of four.
  23. What a brilliant weekend . Weve already re-booked flights and a hotel for early next year and will certainly make the trip again for the GP weekend when it's announced. It's our new "got to do" GP. A transport system 2nd to none (discounts for 60-65s and free travel for all over 65s ) with daily tickets cheaper than the cost of a coffee in the UK for with airport shuttle buses , the Prague underground and Prague trams all included . Our hotel in Central Prague to the airport took around 30 minutes What a disgrace it is that our own British GP is near the bottom of that list due to the unacceptable cost of travel and accommodation. We should hang our heads in shame .
