Speedway World Cup 2017


Recommended Posts

Sale Sharks play in Salford, as do Man United, come to that. The only sporting stadium of size in actual Manchester, where only one or two rugby games have ever been played is the Ethiad Stadium.

Bollocks!

Man Utd, do NOT play in Salford. Old Trafford is south of the ship canal and therefore in Trafford, Manchester.

This season is the last with Marek Cieślak being the manager of Polish National Team and according to the president of Polish Motorsport Association Andrzej Witkowski his eventual reelection depends on if Poland wins the gold medal again in 2017.

IMHO with riders like Zmarzlik,Pawlicki,Dudek,Kasprzak,Hampel,Kołodziej,Protasiewicz Cieślak will resign only after he gets bored with winning. Lol

Lets make it difficult for them and hold it in Leszno !!!!!!

Best rider in the world at his age Maksym Drabik

Who was out almost all last year...

 

Anyway, I have a picture from 2010 from Plzen where Polish U21 national team was Prem Pawlicki, Maciej Janowski, Artur Mroczka and Patryk Dudek. Thought they were pretty good even back then and Boycey even was convinced they (as in PL u21) would probably never lose again... Only took 1 or 2 years though...

So I'm thinking of going to Round1 at king's Lynn. I've never been to Lynn and I like big tracks but when I've seen it on the tele it hasn't been the best.

Can anyone give me the lowdown on what it's like, stadium, facilities, sutiable for kids, etc.????

Thanks...

Nothing out the norm on facilities and you get a OK view from the terrace. But with a child I would pay for the first bend stand as you get the best view up higher. Its all seated. Loads of parking. It will be busy so expect a queue for food and drink. Take your own. There may be extra stands for the SWC. I enjoyed going there.

Great meeting & atmosphere, you'll definitely enjoy it

 

Eat beforehand, food not the best at the AFA & bags are searched for food & drink on entry

Sheffield. You must be joking, hardly a pass in sight. Sorry to go off topic but couldn't stop myself.

Get to the meeting if you can, I`ve been to a couple of SWC events and an EL meeting and it never disappoints. Facilities are ok with refreshment facilities along home and back straight.

Does anyone know when does Manager Rossiter has to name his squad and then the final team. ? We'll see how good he is as a manager this year as he'll be working without Woffy.

 

He enjoyed the plaudits for Silver in 2016 but realistically only one rider did the business for GB in the final. A success for the 2017 team would be to reach the final.
