Was an Ok meeting, have seen much better. Thorsell & Masters were in a different league to the rest. Enjoyed watching Wright & Howarth, interesting to see Becker's progress looked lightening when he gated. Andersen was awful, he used to ride Monmore well. Porsing needn't have turned up, Tungate was awful. Nichollls slow.

I don't watch anything live unless I have to. Adverts are annoying. As is expert chit chat.

Does that work for all televised Ekstraliga fixtures. Marvelous, no annoying adverts.

Haven't seen all of FZG v Wroclaw, stealthy viewing during Sunday dinner. Great heat 12 team riding by Protasiewcz & partner to see off Darbik ( I think). Might be the best I've seen Janowski ride.

Just went through all the Maniak channels, not on any of them.

Thanks. Just in time for the end of the Rugby

What is Simon Stead doing that night, I can stomach him more than Rosco.

How can Gorzow complain about the Lublin track prior to visiting? Lublin stadium is at capacity every fixture, around the 9.5k mark. So there are grounds for complaint. Except Czestochowa (usually around 14k) do any other Ekstraliga team regularly get that many attendees?

Lublin v Gorzow 15:00 UK time, FZG v Wroclaw is 18:00 UK time?

Had I known Madsen wasn't riding earlier I'd have put money on Michelson or MJJ rather than Smektala, Madsen missing opened it up for one of them to win. No matter.

Haha. Just comes out with some nonsense at times. I prefer him to Tatum yelling and going "Ummm".

Vojen's was 93 when Ernolenko won?

Wroclaw, Havelock 92. Duh!

If Swindon can afford Doyle, Poole Kurtz etc etc I see. Which is where the world finals from "Katowice" were held. Is that the only remaining venue left that hosted a World final that still has a speedway track? Seen standings. Looks like shoot out between Pedersen & Laguta. Michelson 3 behind, big ask to make that up in a single meeting.

Just watched meeting from Vojen's much better meeting than I expect from that track! Heats 5-8 & 17 to the end produced some great racing. Lebedevs & MJJ were the entertainers in chief. I do wish a Premiership team would persuade the Latvian to do a full season here. Horrible incident that saw Lindback injured, how Kildemande wasn't excluded I do not know. Jacobsen could surely have done better to avoid the Swede. Dave Rowe kept saying the final round was in Gorzow? I thought it was in Katowice? Haven't looked at the overall standings after this yet, but imagine it's wide open with Madsen missing the meeting & Laguta failing to make the top 6.

Madsen still on the sportwoefacty lineup for the meeting, who is the next in line reserve? Or has there been so many riders withdrawing that it's a track reserve? Guessing that would be Jacobsen?

Those 2 points away at Scunthorpe should see the Brummies avoid the 2019 Championship Wooden Spoon. If they can keep the current septet fit one would think only Leicester should trouble them in the remaining home fixtures and a chance of away points still at Newcastle, Berwick & Edinburgh.

Did anyone else spend a couple of minutes staring at their scorecard wondering where they had gone wrong just because the Centre Green Announcer was 2 points out all night?

Strange comment. Holder was good when he won the world title, lost his bottle after an accident at Brandon a year or two after.

Horrible day at work, missed Czestochowa contest. Watching Liverpool v Norwich now, what chance of Torun a) winning a heat b) Getting a 3-3?

I assume Vojens will be gate & go snorefest, but haven't seen a meeting from there in an eternity. Not much value here R&R! How mean. Smektala £30 more.

Ta.

First question in regards to naive Wolves tactics. What is the likelihood that if Howarth had replaced Becker in heat 8, Wolves would have got a 5-1?

Wolves playoff hopes dashed?
