Bradford Ace

Yeah, your dream line up is a good one mate & i'd certainly pay to come over & watch that team!!! Suppose it makes sense to keep Emil as junior so he can take all the junior rides apart from heat 1. I'll have to keep an eye on here & on the Sportowefakty website to see who moves where & hopefully you get your dream line up or as close to it as possible!!

Hope so mate!! Said for last 2 seasons that i was gonna get over 4 a league meeting but havent done yet. Done all 3 GP's there from 08 & 09 but need to see some league racing on a decent track rather than the GP borefest!! Went to the Grudziadz meeting the day after the GP when the Torun meeting got called off & Henka Gustafsson was saying u were after his son Simon?? Cant see that as he would be an U21 so wouldnt get in the side of front of Emil?? Any rumoured targets over there mate?? Surely gotta get rid of Chrzanowski for a start & dont think i'd keep Buczkowski personally but depends who's available. Dobrucki flew there in the play offs & would be a good buy if available??

Nice one. Loads of flights to Krakow from every airport so could be worth a visit. Rumours that Emil might be on the move, possibly to the new Champs??

Does anyone know what happens if tomorrow is off as well, does the Torun meeting still go ahead as planned?? Got a ticket for it & am deciding whether to go or not No real point flying out to Torun if it its gonna be re-scheduled for next week if its off at ZG which looks a possibility again!! Doubt Torun will want to give up their choice of having the home meeting 2nd & winning (if as expected) the title in front of their own fans??

Got a few KM productions off ebay & they are excellent. Shame nobody seems to know the whereabouts of the owner as i'd love to get my hands on some other meetings from the 80's as somewhere there must be hundreds of old tapes lying around gathering dust!!! Barely any footage about from The Shay where i first watched my Speedway which is a huge shame as i would love to see some old meetings from there. I do have one production in b&w that has 5 Halifax meetings on from 80-83 but only one is from the Shay that was Halifax v Sheffield. The coverage isnt too good on that one but its the only real footage i have apart from a couple of other clips. If anyone stumbles across other Halifax coverage then let me know as i'd love to get copies. Got one meeting from themat the old Belle Vue from 82 thats decent enough but for some reason nobody seemed to bother filming at the Shay!!!!

.................and breathe!!!!

I would like to apologise if anyone took my comments the wrong way as they were totally in jest, hence the smiley face after!! Of course i would never want a meeting rained off....i travel from Bradford to Belle Vue every monday & have very often made the 1hr 30 round trip to find the meeting off when i got there so i know how gutting it is when that happens. I'm glad some people realised it was only in jest so sorry Haza if you took it the wrong way...i'm travelling over 2 hrs to get to Birmingham airport for my 2 hr+ flight to Bydgoszcz so i definitely do not want this meeting rained off or it would be a bloody long trip for no Speedway at all!! I am seriously worried now though with the weather in Poland & always thought this GP was pretty late in the season. ZG is obviously having it bad but it is some way away from Bydgoszcz so i hope the weather is clearer ooop North so we can at least see some action!!

Anyone know the forecast for Bydgoszcz on saturday?? I know ZG is a long way from there but if the rain is sweeping the country is there a chance the GP will be a wash out as well?? Could set up the dream weekend but a week later perhaps!!

Think this thread now needs deleting as its put a jinx on the whole thing!!!!! Utterly gutted that the weekend has been ruined by the weather. As i've only paid for the flights i now hope that it p*sses it down on saturday & the Gp is off to be re-staged the saturday after & the great weekend will be back on again!! I'll begin my raindance immediately!!

F***ing hell, how utterly gutted am i now!! Couldnt wait for this weekend & thats just ruined everything big style....loads of us had tickets for Torun for sunday & doubt any of them will now go if its the weekend after as it means a separate trip & more money on flights. Completely devastated, bloody weather!!!

My GP ticket came thru post 2day so well chuffed that i have the 1st piece of the jigsaw altho the 2nd piece sounds like its gonna be harder to get hold of!! One thing tho, if ya cant get a ticket is it worth going to the stadium on the day to see if any are being sold outside?? Always ticket touts at Cardiff for the GP & the stadium is only ever half full so presume (hope!!) that there'll be touts at Torun when the stadium is guaranteed to be full?? If not at least its live on the telly i suppose altho not the same as being there!!

Or Gollob, remember the last round is in Bydgoszcz!!! Hope Crumpy is ok for 2moro. He has been best rider by far this season & it would be a massive blow if injury forced him to lose the title after working so hard to get in this position. As a neutral tho the Polish GP could be a classic if he struggles 2moro. Imagine if its a shoot out between him, Emil on his home Polish track & the master of Bydgoszcz himself Gollob!!! Could make up for all the dross we've watched all season so far & boy am i glad i've got a ticket for it!!!

Anyone heard anything else about tickets for the 2nd leg of the Final at Torun the day after the GP?? Couldnt make the GP challenge on friday at Coventry but one of my mates who was there heard a whisper that the tickets go on sale this tuesday so wondered if anyone else had heard the same?? Got my Bydgoszcz ticket so really need to get this meeting sorted as well for a cracking weekend in Poland to bring my season to a close!!

Was cheering Torun on big style there (even tho i'm a Bydgoszcz fan!!) cos i wanna visit the stadium the day after the GP like most others on here so was delighted with the 5-1 in heat 14!! About time Noddy came to the party cos he was poor b4 that. I'm gonna email Torun 2moro & see what the crack is with tickets & if i find owt out i'll post on here & trust others will. Looks an awesome stadium & the atmos should be the business for the final. ps. How awesome is Darcy Ward?? Taking Nicki P & Hancock from the back was pretty special altho his previous ride was actually better!!! Tai looking good in Poland as well & was good 2 watch a cracking meeting after last night's usual GP borefest. I know these 2 young kids are still learning & its very early in their career but i'd throw em both in the Gp's (Darcy & Tai that is) for next yr along with Holder if he doesnt qualify from Cov on fri nite. Look at Emil this yr...thought he'd do ok but nobody ever thought he'd do this well. Needs a complete overhaul does the system to bring some excitement back into it. Imagine next yr if we had Emil, Holder, Tai & Darcy mixing it with the older boys on tracks that havent been touched by Olsen. We might have our sport back as we want it at last!!!

Definitely yeah!! Watched it online & even though it was a good win i couldn't help thinking we missed a good chance to win by 20+ on the night. They were a 1 man team basically with a bit of back up from Walasek & NKI but were there for the taking. AJ was off form & there were too many points thrown away in the middle of the meeting like Buszco & Chrzanowski losing to their reserve but must say it was a great end to the meeting with a lot of points won back. What was the score at ZG in the season?? Any chance of a win overall & will Pepe be back for them??

Jagus & Holder both riding for Torun 2day so still a good chance of a meeting there the day after the GP!!!

As suspected the alleged line ups are a load of rubbish!! Just watching the start of the Czestochowa v Torun meeting & Holder & Jagus are both riding!! Bit of kidology me thinks!!!

As much as i'd luv 2 see my Polish team Bydgoszcz get through i think its unlikely but i will be watching online in a few hours cheering them on!! My 2nd wish however is for Torun to get through so i can visit their lovely new stadium the day after the GP but what's with their line up 2day?? They finished top of the league but look like they dont want to get to the final going with so many juniors?? No r/r for Jagus, no Chris Holder, what is going on?? Can only see a huge win for Czestochowa which means a lot of peoples plans for GP weekend will be up in smoke!!!

Thanks for that mate. Bit of a complicated system but glad Bydgoszcz got thru anyway!! Might try and get over for one of their 2 remaining home meetings before going to the GP as well.

Great news that Bydgoszcz are through cos they are my adopted Polish team but i dont quite understand how this best loser thing works?? Bydgoszcz drew & then lost by 7 whereas Gorzow lost by 2 & then 4 so its obviously not an aggregate points thing which i thought it was so how come they're through after all that?? Presume now its just normal semi finals with the 2 winners on aggregate going to the final with the losers finishing for the season. Intersting to see that a lot think Czestochowa will beat Torun which would be bad news for me cos i fancied seeing their new stadium the day after the Polish GP!!

Another belter of a meeting & think a draw was a fair result. when i heard Darcy Ward say early on that it was the slickest track he'd ever raced on i had a bad feeling it was going to be dull but how wrong i was!!! Gotta say this lad is sensational. Beat Emil in heat 1 & took Lindback from the back twice when he was riding pretty well & looking pretty fast himself. Whoever signs this kid up as an asset has one hell of a superstar on their books & i'm sure the money men are queueing up for an auction. We'll be last in line as always but will be v interesting to see where he goes. Shame TVP dont show every home meeting from Bydgoszcz cos we miss out on so many meetings when they dont!! Fingers x'd they scrape through as best scoring loser so we can see 1 more meeting from there b4 the GP in October!!

U can watch it on the TVP website but u have to pay for it. Paid 2day which cost 48zl which is a tenner but worth it for 2 meetings i think altho depends how much ya wanna see it i suppose. The picture is unbelievably good, way better than sopcast altho that is very good for a free channel. This is a cut above however altho it does cost. Was desperate to see Bydgoszcz v Torun so i didnt mind shelling out a tenner!! I pay double every week at BV so half the cost for some decent racing is great 4 me!!

2 potential belters there on the net so cant wait for sunday. Got kids birthday party in the early afternoon but will make sure i'm home for 5.00pm!!! what's the score for the semi's or does it depend who beats who?? Presume if Bydgoszcz (my adopted team) get through as a loser (being realistic!!) they wouldnt meet Torun again but who would they meet?? Hope they do as fancied seeing em at home this season but it hasnt worked out so hoping they have at least one more home meeting after sunday so i can get over there 4 it.

Yeah bit strange mate. Polish meets are spot on & i sit here thru 2 full meetings every sunday as if i'm watching it on the telly. Even downloaded the VLC media player u mentioned that the other week so use that for Polish meets or the normal sopcast route. Just went back onto the MyP2P.eu link that i use & the Swedish meet 2nite has now appeared on there although its only just appeared. The sopcast link says offline, the Media player Tomcio thru Justin tv is still just constantly frozen but there's another link there which is www.justintv.lukkaszewski27/popout & thats working fine so just saw the last heat b4 the interval!! Better late than never i suppose but just frustrating as the last 3 weeks have been a nightmare trying to get it to work!! Hope the last few heats are good!!!
