Seems that Darcy received a rather cool reception in ZG parade, to say the least.

Dodgy forecast for the Green Mountain later, too. My usually reliable weather site says that it will continue until 7pm. local time.

I guess they saw the weather forecast..................which was bang on with time the rain could start. EDIT: As the old Polish proverb has it: 'Half a roof is better than none'.

Maybe this is the reason:2004 - VMS Elit 2005 - Västervik Speedway 2006 - VMS Elit 2007 - Dackarna 2008 - Lejonen 2009 - Lejonen 2010 - Elit Vetlanda 2011 - Piraterna 2012 - Elit Vetlanda 2013 - Piraterna 2014 - Elit Vetlanda

Apologies in advance to any Vetlanda fans, but I do not like this track. No wonder there are so many tapes offences when it seems such a difficulty to come from the back. IMHO.

Certainly putting up a great show, even if it may fall short in the end. (If I may be allowed to put a bit of INTERNATIONAL grass-track news on this thread. I understand that GB won the grass-track World Cup today...........................in Germany!)

Just joined the match after a 4 and a half hour grasstrack meeting in a Cheshire field. Wonderful! Surely Holder layed down the bike when he saw the away rider fall? Or was that just me?

I'm here. Watched the Rybnik match from heat 3, and gave up when it became so one-sided. Should be a few more incidents tonight.

Surprised the Swedish team manager allowed the cameras and mikes into their team meeting. (Not that I understood a word of it!)

Not read all the posts above, but have just signed in to Eurosport player for £5.99 as a one-off. Excellent HD. Decent value and avoids all those pop-ups on the streams.

Gracias from Spain.

The covers have been off for some time. Still raining and guys brushing water down the drains at moment.

The most reliable weather site I know................Weather Underground........predicted the exact timing of the current conditions in Vojens up to three days ago!..............and say that there is an 86% chance of rain between 7pm and 8pm local time, and after that it should stop. http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/zmw:00000.1.06110

The biggest threat tomorrow seems to be the weather. (Surprise, surprise). Time for those famous Vojens covers to do their stuff I think. link: http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/zmw:00000.1.06110

Surely not another 5-1,1-5 fest!

Ouch! Unbiased opinion of course.

Anyone know when Cook was told that he wasn't wanted after all?

Oh dear, Lampart did a bit of a Carl Stonehewer there. (Only Aces fans of a certain age will understand).

Emil soon got out of 'team riding' mode in heat 7 and b*gg*r*d off! Still got away with it as Smektala was well in control.

Tac subs rule applies still in Poland (I Think)

Yes, to be fair Spotowefakty.pl were reporting match as rain threatened less than an hour before start time.

The home team don't seem too keen either. Edit: Sorry, BB, didn't see you had beaten me to it.

Surely not when compared to previous 3 or 4 seasons. I only have reported attendances from Speedway Star to go by but even last year's crowds seemed down. (Re the Star I notice that their Polish reports have stopped quoting attendances this year, wonder why?)
