15,000, not much riding on this meeting is there really, just confirmation of the top 8 .................. never mind eh

I hope they wash their t-shirts in DAZ for the occasion

Hmmmmmmmm, as usual very thought provoking MrC!

Can't blame the BSPA for JP losing loads of dosh, more like him chucking it about what seemed like willy nilly!!

LOL, did you not read about what happened in Aus?

I think it's a pity that the leagues can't get together and put on a rival World Championship series for their own good, it happens in many sports disciplines ......... I would 100% support a GP series where any profit went to grass roots speedway!

Too flipping true BUT what can you do but support your team if they do reach the play offs, hence the great crowds that they attract, you just HAVE to be there

No league racing ............ no GPs! Or perhaps you come from Mars so you don't have a team to support

So BFD you think the young aussies could go straight into the bloody GPs without any league experience? The leagues ARE and be all and end all, no leagues, no GP!

And why aren't there any young americans, cos they come in on a bleeding 8 point average in our league!!!!!!!!!!!

You haven't a leg to stand on Tex ................. JP and BSI have had a positive effect, in what way, from a fan's point of view I don't think league speedway has changed since BSI took over the GP league ................. of course if the FIM hadn't allowed BSI to buy the rights but let the leagues/countries run their own GP to benefit their own speedway infrastructure, then things would surely be different and speedway as a whole would have gained! Surely you can't put this down to BSI, surely SKY would have taken on League speedway anyhow???

Well IMG will have to pump loads more dosh into the GPs than BSI did, I've read time and time again that the monies they pay do not even cover the riders expenses!!!!

I should think Jason has been more disappointed than you ............ he's never far away though!

Yeah and someone lost a huge amount of dosh doing it, NOT BSI I hasten to add!

Change the GP set up altogether, have 4 qualifiers and 4 GPs, they won't become so repetative as they are now and more riders get to challenge for the title every year.

Congratulations Nicki, a shame that the past can't be erased from memory though.

And especially now that the GP series is just like another league keeping the riders away from their families (if they have one) for another 3 days every fortnight!

I take it Emil gated on Holder then and didn't look back or wasn't it as simple as that? Thanks Tomaz!

Was Sajfutinov off gate 2 and Holder off 4 in their first race?

I thought this one had already been discussed and it's because of the lack of monies coming from the ACU why TeamGB don't have this luxury?

Aw shame

Want to see Simon racing in Britain especially at King's Lynn

Left from the starting gate you mean

Haven't watched the coverage yet but this is such a sad comment about the GP every fan looks forward to on the speedway calendar, what has happened to the Bydgoszcz track people???!!!

Best of luck to Eddie, Lewis and Chris! Such a pity that SKY aren't covering this meeting!!!! Is Polish tv filming it?? It'll be more entertaining than the GP
