O can anyone refresh my memory, did Artem Laguta crash in any of his heats? As far as I can remember, he didn't but

apparently he has a sicknote saying that he is injured (which is why Indianerna have to use R/R for him tonight).

As far as I can remember also he didn`t.

No I don't remember either. Nor on Saturday on pairs.

He was in both heats 14 and 15 too.

The clip from Torun on Sunday shows the same.

Have to have a look,but have you or anyone else read anything to suggest a reason?I was thinking it was just Gorzow and maybe fans we upset at the team selection or prices etc.But if this is at a couple of the better supported tracks it must be more than a local problem.Just found it strange so early in the season when normally enthusiasm is high

They are big stadiums with 15,000 capacities approx.-so even the reported 6,000 at Torun is leaving plenty of gaps-I think over the last few seasons that crowd levels in Poland have dipped. I don`t really know the reasons-some matches seem to attract better attendances than others-maybe these are special offer matches ?.i remember seeing a match from Czestochowa last season -18,000 capacity- and the place was nearly full-and look what happened to them.

I wonder if the away team polish speedway fans sing the equivilant of the song sung at Millwall-"your grounds to big for you " :lol:

Think the present crowd has held up pretty well over the past few decades really.I remember at the Old Den crowds of 3 or 4,000 and we had one of the biggest terraces in the country.I also remember games of 18 or 20,000 and thinking "how the hell did they fit another 20,000 plus in here?" when the record attendance for the ground was over 40,000 I think for < Derby County FA Cup game.......

Millwall have spent 85 seasons in the Football League (1920–21 to 2011–12), and in that time have averaged an attendance of approximately 11,954, with seventeen of those years being played at the current Den and the rest at the Old Den. Just before World War II Millwall averaged their highest attendance of 27,373 and were the tenth best supported club in the country.[31] After the war they continued to attract 20,000+ gates, but the team's fortunes on the pitch began to change for the worse. In the 1950s attendances began to dwindle as the decade drew to a close.[32] Throughout the 1980s Millwall struggled to pull in crowds after home games were made all-ticket after crowd trouble against Leeds United.[33] Often averaging around 4,500 for a season, the club was pushed to the edge of financial extinction.[33] After watching the team struggle for years, promotion to the top flight in 1988 brought supporters back, games are no longer all-ticket and averages since have been just under 10,000.[

 

So that average for a poor relegation season was just under average

Now now,i doubt if Reading were ever the 10th best supported club in the country.Probably not always the best supported club in the county. :P And I am very surprised they are allowed to associate the club with hooliganism.....tut tut!!!
