The two times I ventured to Cowley last season were by far the biggest two crowds I had witnessed in domestic British speedway since the 90's. But 3 leagues seems too much.

Maksym Drabik, stays at Częstochowa. Emil Sajfutdinow staying with Torun for 2024 & 2025.

Without knowing any of the young Poles, the Grudziadz top 4 look stronger than their FZG counterparts. You'd think they're probably going to the two teams battling relegation?

No stopping FZG today... Jan Kvech, Przemysław Pawlicki, Rasmus Jensen and Michał Curzytko.

Wadim Tarasienko qualifies as a senior Pole?

Bewley?

Congratulations Tigers. Sayfutdinov struggled with conditions early & Doyle wasn't brave enough at the end. Pickering is entertainment.

No Huchenbeck and Lebedevs are not as talented on a Speedway bike as Janowski . Jurys out on Kubera. But I think being out the GP's for a season may give Janowski the kick up the proverbial he needs. No one will remember how many followers you have on Social Media, having a World Championship puts a rider in the history books

By finishing 5th in the GP Challenge? Thought if riders qualified through finishing top 6 (Vaculik & Lambert) the GP challenge qualification didn't filter down beyond the top 3. I don't think current GP riders should be allowed in the challenge. Correct. Competed in no 2012 GP's, scored 2 points in one appearance in 2011. Still think Kołodziej is ignored every year, always right near the top of the Ekstraliga averages. Janowski has been appalling this year, glad he's not been picked.

Absolutely terrible from the Aces.

I asked this last week, but may have got lost mid meeting. Question for Oxford fans. In the Joey Beauchamp bar there are two photos from the 80's. One is Hans Nielsen, Jimmy Nilsen & Troy Butler who is the other Robin. The other is assume a Sheffield rider leading Andy Grahame. Who is the rider in the Tigers race jacket. Is that Kelly Moran?

Eh, I quite enjoyed that, generally don't enjoy the racing at Monmore but went as it was the last league match. Wolves were generally poor, S Worrall started well but tailed off. Becker, Masters & Douglas started slow but did enough. Cook, Schlein Flint I expected more from. Leicester had Fricke who was outstanding & Kemp who did a job, but did throw points away. Kerr rode well, Sedgeman & Allen were largely anonymous. Lawson was excluded on grounds I didn't believe existed started well but faded but then got the job done in the super heat Who'm I missing... oh R Worrall, did better than I expected but shouldn't have gifted passing opportunities to the Wolves duo in heat 14.

No topic for the last league match at Monmore Green? For that reason I'm going tonight for the first time since PK's farewell. Not expecting the Lions to put up much of a fight TBH sadly.

U21 World title about 2005. Some Czech rider who rode for Redcar & Poole lost the ballot I think. Tomas Suchanek... rings a bell. Was hopeless on these shores. Just got home, enjoyed the racing later on. Peterborough err Glasgow deserved to win. Only pair that rude as a team all night Wright was very good but he left King in the final chasing the win after they were both well in front of Harris King refused to move off the white line all night. Batchelor didn't try, Lawson didn't in his first two rides. Howarth was poor.

Question for Oxford fans. In the Joey Beauchamp bar there are two photos from the 80's. One is Nielsen, Nilsson & Butler who is the other Robin The other is assume a Sheffield rider leading Andy Grahame. Who is the rider in the Tigers race jacket. Kelly Moran?

Got my ticket now, hope it's better than the Brummies visit! Last time I think I ate at a Beefeater nearby, which wasn't too bad. Any other suggestions?

Met Office weather forecast has significantly improved in eth last 30 mins!

Supposed to be a hell of a downfall at 16:00 according to the Met Office, before I get a ticket, is the track likely to cope with that?

Your first statement is quite harsh on Sheffield, they could do nothing about Jack Holder breaking his wrist at the SWC. Ellis & Bellego were given enough time to find their form. Your second statement is quite harsh on Belle Vue. Brennan & Boldorn retained when it was obvious the two of them couldn't stay at reserve all season unlike last season.

Met office weather forecast is for rain at 8-10 pm so hopefully they'll crack on with the meeting.

Met Office forecast for tomorrow in Manchester much drier now.

Doyle, Vaculik & Wozniak. Lambert 4th, exclusion cost him. Didn't watch it but Sportwoefakty said it was controversial.

Did Vaculik complete a meeting?

I wasn't going to attend this as Eurosport were covering the fixture and Kings Lynn are poor.. however Lambert v Bewley So assuming the EuroSport cameras are at the EoESg I will. Forecast isn't great at the moment according to the Met Office.

That's what I need to know. I'm not going if I can't be on the road by 21:30.
