racers and royals Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 If the money is that tight why not scrap the SWC all together, or run it every 2 years to make the money go further. As long as all 16 riders in each meeting are fit to take all their rides, fine, but if not the meeting becomes a farce. With the meetings being televised all over Europe they can't afford a reserve?. It makes the whole project a laughing stock. Shame there is no Grigorij...without him I feel Russia have handed the meeting to Poland. Don`t forget that teams if they do lose a rider and are enough points behind the leaders can use a T/S or joker(doesn`t help if they are the leading team though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregular Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Don't get me started on Jokers, Double-points and all the other mullarkey that makes a mockery of the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I really don't understand the Russians, why the hell would you leave out your second best rider. Because he doesn't want to ride?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 He doesn't want to ride?...seems unlikely to me. Why? He's refused in the past. TBH I'm amazed his brother and Emil are riding, especially after Emils interview in the Speedway Star in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Grigory may come into the Russian team for the race-off and the final at Vojens. Just wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Both being shown on 'quest'.... They will be on sometime in between some fishing and showing you how to build a fence... Edited June 1, 2015 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Both being shown on 'quest'.... They will be on sometime in between some fishing and showing you how to build a fence... Good, I like it being no Quest. The SWC is normally good so I can in all good conscience tell all the non-speedway fans I know to watch it without feeling guilty, until they bring out the joker anyway - but I'll act dumb when that happens.

A ORLOV Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Quest has a gap in its schedule on thurs between 6 and 9 at the moment and Speedway WC Final on Sat at 6, that will pee the other half off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Apparently Ljung will ride instead of THJ on Saturday. Personally I would have preferred Freddie Lindgren. Edited June 2, 2015 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedders Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can anybody help with advice on how to obtain tickets for Gniezno SWC? I have been on the Gniezno ticket site (via the Monster site) and you have to create a Fan Account. When completing the application for an account they require a PESEL number (Polish Social Security number). We have written two emails to the club and they said to put in my National Insurance number - but this was rejected. Does anyone know a way round this - or know the format of a PESEL number?
