Sotonian Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 When people ask me why I still bother watching speedway I'll show them that final. It was immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not a classic meeting by any means but a few classic heats and a very good meeting. And the result was generally pretty good for the series. A bad one for Magic next time while Woffy, Bart and Emil do well and suddenly you have a 6 man battle for the the title. 6 might be pushing it but 4 or 5 of them. We're really being spoilt in the GPs the last few years imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 When people ask me why I still bother watching speedway I'll show them that final. It was immense. 100% correct... Which makes it all the more bloody frustrating that with such a 'product' we seem in this Country to make such a dismally ham fisted attempt at selling it to the populace.... A truly gladiatorial Sport that has everything you would want for sheer raw emotion, breath taking thrills and on the edge excitement... Maybe over here it's not the same level of the GP lads when they go 'full on' but you still get some great racing in GB... Must be someone who can market it and run it properly over here to deliver the exposure it (and the riders) deserves?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockster Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I thought it was a really good meeting and a fab final. Just watched it as I had to record and thoroughly enjoyed it. Brilliant sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Been spoilt with excellent racing in GPs this year and expecting every race to be the same. Some races were ok, some were brilliant. Overall a very good meeting. Pawlicki fortunate to stay in the Smolinski incident, and then again in the Zagar incident. With Smolinski, Smoli was in the lead and Pawlicki didnt even try to stay on by moving. With Zagar, you can see Pawlicki look toward Zagar then still turned left into him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some races were ok, some were brilliant. Overall a very good meeting. No pleasing some... compared to Cardiff tonight's meeting had amazingly fantastic racing in nearly every race. Cardiff may be a lovely stadium, but these temp tracks are just not conducive for great racing... which is what speedway should be about. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAST GATER Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I thought it was a good GP and a great final ,"off night" for Doyle by his standards ( he is a little brutal in his approach for my liking) but I am sure he will bounce back and has a great chance of being WC . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJIPVqdxxPM Thata what I meant when I said we been spoilt by excellent racing in the GPs this year....we expecting races like that EVERY race, but of course we cant have it. Stick by what I said, some races ok (were good), some were brilliant, just like that Warsaw race. I agree with the trophies being rubbish.I thought Cardiff trophies would be a one off, but to have the same again the very next meeting , no more please.

PHILIPRISING Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not too sure about the bloke in the studio with the glasses, hair do and ridiculous shirt. ACTUALLY thought he did a good job. Didn't sit on the fence, was informative about engine tuners, but I do agree about the shirt.

waytogo28 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not too sure about the bloke in the studio with the glasses, hair do and ridiculous shirt. For me Rosco was very boring and repetitive. Not quite bringing the sport into disrepute but not far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) For me Rosco was very boring and repetitive. Not quite bringing the sport into disrepute but not far off. Don't know if BT Sports gave him a make-over or it was self inflicted. Edited August 13, 2017 by pugwash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
