mikebv Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Just switched it on and an interview was taking place... Screen said ZG : GRU. 20:30.... I thought "wow never thought that would happen"... Then they cut to the line ups standing for the National Anthem... And I realised it was the start time!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's remember this is Lambert's first season in the top league in Poland.He will go awol as you like to put it in some meetings.It will most definitely be a learning curve for him and i hope he does himself proud by the end of the season.I hope all Brits do well when riding abroad.He's had two decent meetings and this one,so that's not a too bad a start for the youngster.I suppose it is a British attitude towards it's sports stars is they are rarely praised when doing well but soon bought down when not doing so well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Is that nine out of nine from the inside? Edit: Laguta! Great ride from gate three... Looking very sharp.. Edited April 26, 2019 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Pawlicki did Lindback no favours ion heat 11. How fast is Laguta, made Vaculik look like he was going backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Commentators curse on Laguta, thought he and Buczkowski could win it for Grudziądz, then they convincingly 5-1ed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Buzz was the Tac for Lindback Col..... Hence he went in 15 as well. . Watching Polish Speedway really does show up how poor the offering is in the UK... And I don't mean the best riders being on show, as it's clear the UK cannot afford them.. For me it's the whole package that leaves us decades behind regardless of the standard of rider.. Fans all in T Shirts of their teams.. It would cost approx one heat leaders salary for one match over here to buy 1000 T shirts at cost and give them away to fans.. The riders lined up waiting for the 2 minute whistle meaning they all come out together building up atmosphere, (music being played as they enter the track).. Buzz had four minutes allocated between HT 14 and 15 to be ready... The racing starting 2 mins after the whistle so riders don't go back to get things rechecked as they don't have time, and gardening has to be done quickly.. The starts meticulously ran by the Marshall with head phones on directly linked to the ref meaning tyres are mm away from the tapes, hence no rolling at the starts and each rider has to comply or the ref instructs the Marshall to speak with the one not following orders.. The mechanics and managers all in club colours, not their own overalls... All these things bring professionalism to the sport and it's also noticeable how tribal it is, there is hardly any congratulations given to an opponent by the riders, (which may be down to not being able to ride on any given night for every team in the league like you can over here, being team mates one night in the Premiership and rivals the next in the leagues below)... And all done and dusted under two hours inclusive of TV advert breaks.. Unlike over here, the only thing Mickey Mouse about Polish Speedway is the ZG badge! No wonder the crowds are so good..

Agree wholeheartedly - one other point - Parade 10 mins before start time. 1st heat bang on start time. 1hour 45 mins/ 2 hours (at the latest) everything wrapped up.

You nailed it. Our mentality here that everything we do is best, and that no other country could possibly be better than us is so sadly out of date these days it's embarrassing. If I had the time and the money to be able to head over to Poland every weekend, I would go in a heartbeat. If you compare it to UK speedway, it's light years ahead in every single department. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
