Woz01 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yes I went & it wasn't a good advert for speedway, it was ultra slick and fairly boring. As for jamrog, it's a shame they don't give British riders the same chances like him & other sub standard foreigners get here,I don't see many British riders of his standard getting rides abroad. Gem I didn't see anyone with a dog there Coventry is probably the one club where you can't say they don't give Brits a chance. Rules prevent us signing a Brit as we can't sign another d/u rider. To be fair Jamrog is of a higher standard than the likes of Bomber and Andersen in Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, until it went ** up with Bridger Coventry had 6 Brits - when was the last time an EL club could claim that? They have 5 now, again, when was the last time anyone could claim that?

Is Jamrog in the same polish league as Harris and Andersen or is it the league below? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Is Jamrog in the same polish league as Harris and Andersen or is it the league below? Same league. They all rode 2nd division last year. Averages here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gem I didn't see anyone with a dog there You're right it wasn't a very good advert for speedway unfortunately but it was the first meeting so hopefully the track will settle down and the racing will get better. Although there were still a fair few amount of genuine passes, nothing compares to Peterborough on Sunday where there were passes in the majority of races. If you've never been to The Showground you want to get yourself over there sometime. Lots of Sunday afternoon meetings this year. I saw several dogs at Coventry and I also walked round with Lucy before the match started. I even stopped to talk to one strange Leicester fan, standing with all the others on the 1st bend, who had what looked like a Lion stuck on his head. Nice chap though. Afterwards, as I told you before, I'm on the 4th bend but Lucy is harder to spot then because she's usually asleep on her blanket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 woz01 I understand what you are saying about Jamrog in Poland, but it's what he scores over hear that matters to us all. Of course that's all that matters to us but the point he made was he is sub standard. He has shown some form abroad and a risk was taken but at the minute that risk is failing. Same league. They all rode 2nd division last year. Averages here Shows he is capable but whether we see it is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Shows he is capable but whether we see it is a different story. Ask Wolves fans about Sowka - failed to average 2 yet Polish form suggested they had a star in the making. On the other hand, go back and bit further and ask Wolves fans about Skornicki and he wasn't anything special in Poland but he's generally been pretty good in the UK. Then there THJ and Peter Ljung, both capable riders who do well in Sweden and Poland but never done it in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you are never quite sure what you will get when you bring over a rider to Britain. Sowka is a good example of someone who completely failed over here, Jamrog could be another!

1 valve Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Same league. They all rode 2nd division last year. Averages here Interesting although I see Harris had only 8 metings. Meanwhile from the stats it looks like Leicester have landed the best prospect in Wozniak who managed 8 points on Saturday in the ELRC as a late replacement not bad for a No. 4 rider. Could be heat leader material by end of year once he has seen all of the tracks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
