Najjer Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Zielona Gora and Grudziadz has the makings of a cracker I reckon. Zielona will be looking to bounce back after taking a spanking in their last match and I quite fancy Grudziadz as being a dark horse over the course of the season.

Great news - you have to feel symphony for Premier Sports and cut them abit of slack as they’ve been dealt a bit of a headache in only 1 out of the so far scheduled 6 live matches taking place on Fridays since the season started. I know Sky sports used to use their own camera crews etc for filming the Elite League as it was then but that was one of their biggest pet hates when meetings were called off, causing them great expense and a headache with the scheduling on the tele. There isn’t many sports that are dictated to the weather quite like speedway is other than probably cricket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a game changer that could be - presumably he will be straight in for Bewley. If he finds some of his old form this could make Wroclaw title contenders.

Robinh88 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Quick question! Where has all the money come from in Czestochowa? Almost 10 years ago 'the green lions' tracked - Nermark and the inexperienced Grigorij and Artem Laguta. Spent big on Emil and then relegation sadly followed a few years later. Present day - Sees Czestochowa track 3 world class riders. Granted their attendances look to have improved in conjunction with lucrative TV contracts and sponsorship. Madsen, Doyle and Lindgren won't be cheap. Great racetrack and stadium, would like to see Wlokinarz win a title, especially if that stops Leszno walking it (again) zzzzzzzzzz.

For me I'd say somebody who genuinely was in with a shout of becoming world champion. So I'd say Gollob, Hampel, Dudek & Zmarzlik... I know KK finished 2nd one year but could you honestly see him being world champ? Well I guess nobody could of seen KK coming second that year but he did. i dont like this new speedway of nations , much preferred World Cup to be honest. But Poland were dominant at that and would be now. Zmarzlik, Dudek, Janowski, Drabik, Smektala, Hampel, KK, Pawlickis.... take 4 of them against any four of another country and id back them to win. Of course they wont win every meeting , but 9/10 they would. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 So we are outside the transfer window but a team can sign a recently world class rider as a ‘guest’ and use him when and where they like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning Holder for example can only ride for Wroclaw this season in the top league. . He won't be riding for 'all and sundry' on an ad hoc meeting by meeting basis like a rider can over here... The Polish fans wouldn't allow that kind of situation to occur anyway I would suggest.. Imagine Emil coming in for Wroclaw and scoring nil? The fans (when back) would rip the place apart, and he would need a police escort out of the town..!! So much of Polish Speedway's success is based on that raw, tribal emotion that you get following a team sport, so I am sure they will want to maintain that, and sharing the same riders around on a weekly basis within the same league would destroy that completely and lose thousands from their fanbase... And as you say, in contrast... So much of British Speedway's demise is based on the complete lack of that raw, tribal emotion you get following a team sport... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a punt I suppose. 8 hours ago, THE DEAN MACHINE said: I really do hope polish speedway is not going down this route, it is something that has all but killed the sport over here Like this country, they do seem to be tying themselves up in rules, for what should be a relatively simple sport... all this business of getting Ruskies on Polish passports etc. 4 hours ago, Pinny said: Well I guess nobody could of seen KK coming second that year but he did. i dont like this new speedway of nations , much preferred World Cup to be honest.

That is so true. Yay & a clap or a few F & C bombs is about as exciting as it gets in the UK. The most excitable & entertaining fans in recent years in the UK were the Cradley (Dudley) Heathens. Then that was probably a group of about 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
