Not sure which town or city, but he said walking round shopping and one person had a mask on and 20 didn't....despite it being compulsory !! You only have to visit a British GP to see that a lot of Poles have little consideration for others 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you’re so grumpy. Or rude. As I said, I have my opinion, you have yours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see it a lot these days on the newspaper websites when they're looking for public reaction to events they just hit Twitter and do a copy & paste job. Most of what passes as 'news' these days, starts off with someone filming on a phone and putting it on to one of the various media outlets.. You often then find a local journo asking for more photos to be sent directly to them or requesting permission to use the original footage.. They then report the story via their paper.. No longer do they have to even arrive at the scene to send out their reports and often just quote Twitter updates from any potential eye witnesses. Often using the caveat of 'unconfirmed reports'... Certainly a very different world is 'journalism' today.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did I, you're never going to get half a dozen passes per race. But it had more than enough to keep me occuiped & intersted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Don’t understand the criticism of Polish Speedway action,it no different to any other Country or Tracks.Good meetings ,Poor Meetings.Polish fans turn up in large numbers to watch(in normal circumstances).I personally enjoy Polish action.When you have got the Top Men in the Sport racing each other it’s pretty obvious that Overtaking will be difficult ,but there is no lack of effort from any of the Riders.

You need to follow the Extraleague thread on the international section and if you did you would find out that at 6.30pm they are showing all 15 heats delayed of the Leszno v Lublin match in a hour and then at 7.30pm it`s live Zielona Gora v Grudziadz Edited June 27, 2020 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are promoting their own riders. By the way, I don’t really count passes between the start and the entrance to the third bend as that’s just skirmishing, so I’ll need to look at the replay, if I have more time to waste, to see how many after that there were. I, too, agree with your 1st part & I also disregard gate stats. Good gates gets you to the 1st corner, end of! What happens in the rest of the race( 3 & 3/4 of a lap) has nothing to do with gating.

Germany has just discovered what happens if you release lockdown too early. Germany's instance (the R rate)was highlighted as being mainly, from a meat packaging firm.

I don’t know the Polish rules - I thought the reserves had to be Polish but didn’t realise there were other restrictions. And I’ve just read up about the new German lockdown - 1,500 new cases and 500,000 back in lockdown suggests that they have released lockdown, or certainly some of the lockdown rules, too early. 1 hour ago, IronScorpion said: Germany's instance (the R rate)was highlighted as being mainly, from a meat packaging firm.

Mimmo Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I watched my first ever Polish League match that I recorded on Friday night on Freeview 64, between Leszno & Wroclaw, and have to say I found it all very disappointing. The races in general were no better than National League standard in this country, and the tractor racing was on a par with what we get here. I'm looking forward to seeing if this coming Friday is any better, which hopefully it will be, but thank goodness I can turn the sound off, where on earth did they get that commentator from? As I said at the start, it's the first time I've ever bothered to watch a Polish meeting, are they normally quite good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
