So luck never comes into staying fit for the whole season then?

So the forum was exclusive to the Travel Plus lot?

Luck is all part of the it .... every World Champion has good luck ...

Poland have the riders by the short and curlies .... I hope when things aren't so good over there that the other leagues remember this rule! Selfish indeed!

It's only the best in the World in any given year, they're all great riders .....

This problem has been spoken about for years and riders have been getting hurt for years because of going under the "air fence" ..... how have either the company who make them or the promoters who use them got away with it. Shouldn't they've been made to make alterations to them, it's a defect after all ......

What was meant to be wrong, a stomach problem doesn't say too much.

Many young people are like sheep, wherever the majority go, they go. So to stand any chance of getting young people to our speedway we have to make the night out young people friendly. I'm not sure we can do that. The Poles are different, they are patriotic to their local teams and it seems it's the young blokes in particular who all support their town's speedway team on a Sunday when there's not much else to do. I think perhaps we need to get the kids along more and hope to keep them through the years. But again the promoters have to look at the whole pic and provide what the people want for a good night out. Again we're not like the Polish, we want more from our night at speedway than just the speedway cos that is all you get in Poland. The fans get their just wanting their team to win and letting them know so throughout the meeting. They chant, sing, wave flags, there's no centre green bloke having to tell them to make some noise lol. They are up for supporting their team just full stop. The Polish clubs just open the doors and in they flow. I'd like to think that getting out into the local community would help the clubs, go to the schools, colleges, youth clubs, pubs etc etc. Have a presence, let people know you're there, make them want to support the club and the riders somehow? There's no easy answer.

Good luck both teams, I hope the Aces can do it though. Should be two good, tense meetings 😊

Let's hope all the dodgy decisions go Wolves way 😅

How can that be right, unfair on other leagues and riders who do more than two. Selfish imo, when things go titties up in Poland the other leagues will remember this rule!

Hope you're right ...... let's have a new name on the cup

Perhaps b4 every mtg the pits should have an old bike being revved up with castor r n methanol, just for the fans mmmmmmm

So the Polish authorities are flexing their muscle and saying their top league riders can only race in two leagues! Talk about holding riders to ransom!

Couldn't someone work out the averages so protected edr race results are excluded from riders's averages and then probably 2nd strings against 2nd strings and heat leader against heat leader ........ would be interesting what it throws up. So it would only be reserves against 2nd strings and heat leaders, 2nd strings against heat leaders, heat leaders v 2nd strings and reserves. I may be way out but it would be a comparison between riders of different quality ........

Bjarne had covered himself for that too. The trouble is we all know this sort of thing goes on when it suits so of course there will be questions asked.

Of course 4 months is a long term injury, this rule doesn't apply to early season though only for the playoffs.

Does the rulebook say 'season ending injury' or 'long term injury', tbh they mean the same .... I hope we get a PR from the BSPA today regarding the Hans/Lindback situation .. The Bjarne/Tungate situation is of course questionable too. I wouldn't put anything past Matt Ford in his quest to win .....

Some great photos, particularly like the ones of the riders in a row and the podium one with the champers being sprayed at Doyle .... Isn't it something that the MotoGP boys dud recently?

LOL, unfortunately for Poole there's many more than that ....

May not be as many but the win means just as much to the fans

We all do m8

Get the lager and vodka flowing before the meeting then everyone will make more noise

Carnage?

Hope Panthers come up a league ..... miss our visits
