Steve Shovlar Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 This season has to be one of the worst for the Polish league on record. Other than the occassional scuffle in a heat it’s flavoured utter bland. Another terrible meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that dry track I presume they have phoned Noah and told him to not bother bringing his Ark to take the riders home. ..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Found this on sportowefakty .... From Monday, it was not me who prepared the track, but the track master and the president, who boasted a lot of work in social media. I regret what happened because Włókniarz is my club with which I have been associated since I was 16. I want to scream because now I may have to work abroad again or quit my coach job at all. I gave my notice of termination on Friday at 8am because I couldn't take responsibility for the track that I wasn't preparing. It was a deliberate decision and some people already knew about it on Thursday. It hurts me that through Włókniarz we have witnessed the anti-advertising of speedway - said Włókniarz's coach, Marek Cieślak, after the match. Copy it because the moderator will probably remove it soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sound of the crowd, it sounded as if there were some "afters", shame we didn't see it as the camera was focused on the winner who was looking back at what may/or may not have been going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get some nutter running on to the pitch during a football match and they point the camera into the crowd, with the commentator saying, "we don't want to see that," and I'm thinking "yes we do!" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the riders wanted a deep grippy track- not what they were getting, so if they said that the track had been completed flooded in midweek they had an answer for producing a track that suited the riders.

Hawk127 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 It seems that all is not well on the Polish speedway front and after many years of hearing how good it is, with the exception of one or two races and riders, it is pretty bland and possibly a missed opportunity to showcase the sport and themselves to the world which thus far has be relatively deprived of good racing with so many countries unable to hold professional meetings. Maybe speedway UK should focus on its own product for next year, race on days that suit the tracks and build teams around riders who commit to British speedway first and foremost. If the standard falls so be it but it can be rebuilt if you give the riders a chance to race week in week out in the UK. It cannot be any worse than what is currently on offer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with producing a grippy track? As long as the track isn't dangerous, there should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Does anyone else think Czestochowa deliberately sabotaged the track due to them potentially having financial problems behind the scenes? I've been suspicious of this Czestochowa side for a while this season. Every meeting they have a couple of passengers and I wonder whether it's down to them not getting paid. Doyle has a few very poor meetings on the spin. Then it's Madsen's turn to have a few poor meetings on the spin. Then onto Lindgren & Przedpelski who also do the same as the two above. The only reason I can think of for the deliberate sabotaging of the track is because they haven't got the money to pay their riders. Otherwise why would you deliberately cost yourselves a play-off spot. Edited August 22, 2020 by KingoftheTrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 There's a heck of a lot of money going into Polish speedway. Great, unless the spending's higher...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically meaning that Iversen’s rides were covered by Zmarzlik, Holder and Thomson plus one other. Shows what faith Czesztochowa have in their own team mind....

IainB Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Looks like they took the recent edict to prepare grippier tracks a little too far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
