flagrag Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 As explained last night to fans and was also posted on here this morning. Pawel is not able to fly with the surgery he has had due to a high risk of DVT and a blood clot. There was not time to ride at Leicester and then be in Rybnik this afternoon by driving.

Gemini Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 All irrelevant now if it's true he has had another big crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman77 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I enjoyed my visit to Leicester even though the result was not as I would of expected, think the track changes are working and it now looks a great speedway track with awesome viewing.

Big Al Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Please explain what you mean when you say this league is a lottery Think a lot of this has been said already, but just seems this guest riders business due to doubling up in terms of the effect on the supposedly higher level league has gone too far. Injuries sadly you have to live with, and we've become used to international commitments and of course the Polish clubs problem seems to be gathering pace. Then you've no idea if the guests are going to be up to the job. Maybe it IS a Leicester thing and other Prem clubs have not been as badly effected.

Leicester have had more absences through doubling up than any other team (inevitable because they were so late in confirming their PL participation) Leicester have also had more riders missing than any other team (bad luck and having Jason Garrity in the team!)

Ben91 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Leicester's current team has only two riders who don't double up and one of those missed this meeting injured but rode in Poland the week before and the day after. Doubling up is one of the many nails in the coffin of British Speedway and at the moment it's being driven home hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye started the season with only 2 doubling up riders, now we have all bar Nicholls and KK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Terrible result/performance losing to that "Leicester" side after beating Poole by 30. Kasprzak 7 from 6 at reserve & Harris with 6 points have to take responsibility along with the choice of Jonasson. Has been crap this season in Sweden, probably never rode the Leicester track, crap scores in England since return & does he even have his own machinery over here yet? The promotion don't help themselves. Hope the lost points don't cost at the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulboy Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Took in this meeting as part of a mini tour. Certainly an unusual venue, even when you are within a few hundred yards it's not obvious where the track is. I do like the fact that you can buy your admission ticket in the bar outside, great excuse for a pint (after several at the cricket earlier!) The actual meeting wasn't great, not helped by the sun break after heat 1, although there were some good races towards the end to make up for a very processional start. Can't help feeling that they got things mighty wrong with the track design though, certainly not an easy place to pass! Josh Bates hugely impressive for the home side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Summed up pretty well. Bit similar to Buxton where you wonder where the hell you are going before you spot the track. Glad you enjoyed your visit. Apparently the meeting starts at 8pm this week so that's a brilliant idea ~ bit of a parade and waffling about and the sun should be low enough to avoid any delay. Not sure if this is the plan now as the following match states 7.30pm start or if it's just because the City are playing at home at 3pm and giving more time for fans to attend both if they wish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
