Too many serious injuries in Poland

Belle Vue v Birmingham Thursday 5th June PL
SPEEDY69 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Tail wags the dog these days. -
All sounds positive. I admit though I'd never heard of "reinforced grass" before - that will be time consuming, inserting the steel wire into each blade (I assume that's what it is 🙂)

King's Lynn v Ipswich KO Cup SF 1st leg 02/06/25
SPEEDY69 replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Surely that's because Aces v Brummies is a league fixture. I don't have TNT so wouldn't be watching that anyway, whichever meeting they showed. -

Moan moan moan. I was rooting for Kurtz in the semi final, shame. Lambert was truly awful. -

Ipswich Witches v Leicester Lions - Thursday, 22nd May
SPEEDY69 replied to tocha's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I've ridden the track with a 'blue grove' back in the late 90s so it's not new. However, riders do ride differently now and the tyres are also different. Peterborough and other tracks had trouble with that I remember. But, whatever, the track was not responsible for Ipswich losing. -

That's right and it did not affect the ability to race on it, inside or out. -
Ipswich Witches v Leicester Lions - Thursday, 22nd May
SPEEDY69 replied to tocha's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So what? Leicester still got around there the fastest, both inside and out. The days of deep tracks are over, riders no longer like it and the tuners/designers have ensured the bikes can no longer cope with it. -

Three in heat three alone, get over it, Leicester were better, can't blame the track for that. -
Ipswich Witches v Leicester Lions - Thursday, 22nd May
SPEEDY69 replied to tocha's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Track wasn't like that at all. Ellis went around two on the outside on one bend, there were lines inside and out but the Leicester riders found the quick way around and seemed more determined, fighting for their positions/passes and Ipswich riders when behind either didn't want/have the capability or speed to pass. Again poor team riding from Brennan and Hume in Ht 14, no way Howarth should have passed them both. -

SPEEDY69 replied to tocha's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I saw no reason to criticise the track last night. There was plenty of passing and close racing but the Ipswich team by and large weren't doing it, that's where Doyle sits ahead. Leicester were just better. Those surprised by Becker - did you not see him last season, sure he got a hatful then and looked as fast as I'd seen any rider last year. -

Live in the moment & enjoy the time now, there's always a next year, ask Del Boy! -
That will obviously depend upon the extent of the dislocation and how much the other muscle/tissue is damaged. My total hip replacement was about 8 weeks, 10 weeks before I could go back to normal with sport etc. so it will be much quicker than that, as you say.

Is Speedway still a "working class" spectator sport?
SPEEDY69 replied to JamesHarris's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yes it is still a 'working class', same as football always has been. Have you tried eating out these days, £20 for a burger and chips - what about live gigs/theatre, approx. £90 a ticket. -
Some riders in the past have continued with a broken scaphoid but there is a bit of discomfort!

Yeah the cut was from his peak on his helmet I think. If this is true then that's good news, although a dislocation is painful!! -

This has been reported from his Polish boss "The initial diagnosis is a hip injury. We don't know yet how serious this injury is or how long the break in our player's starts will be. The entire Włókniarz Częstochowa community keeps its fingers crossed for Jason! We look forward to your return," it said in a social media release." translated of course -

A forum is for discussion, I see nothing wrong, people are concerned and curious that's all. Don't see why it should bother you. Many people speculated on the US election before any facts were known, that's normal behaviour.
