Great meeting...

Great atmosphere....

Away fans going mental and riders celebrating just as mentally with them...

There really is no comparison from what you have in the UK is there?

Apart from Jack Holder was riding obviously,..;)

Its exactly the same sport, but it isn't really is it?:rolleyes:

"Proper Speedway Nige"...B)

Sad but true. All the worlds best riders ,  the best stadiums ,  the best racetracks and the best supporters.

Can understand why a lot of British supporters resent the Ekstraliga   it must be hard for them when  you compare one league against the other.

Did Torun have to use Miedzinski in heat 15?

Lublin will make the playoffs ahead of Czestochowa now surely.

Have seen result but is Wroclaw meeting worth watching?  Haven't watched Lezsno v Grudziadz either, assume that is a massacre?

Always enjoy the Ekstraliga , thought that Wroclaw was a good meeting .  Lezsno 56 Grudziadz 34 i think was Friday night

Time for Czestochowa to give Freddie the heave ho at the end of the season that's 2 seasons running now, he has underperformed for me. But bet we shall see a different Lindgren come the GP this weekend 

He's getting a lot of stick tonight on his social media page.  Looks like the Czestochowa fans have lost all faith in him . And by sitting in 30th place in the Ekstraliga averages they might have a point. I think they expected a lot  more , though they all seem to agree that come the GPs  , his performances will rise up to another level.

I've never seen anything quite like that, the riders seem really invested in their clubs (until they go and ride in a different country of course :lol:). In my mind I was comparing it to what I saw on Saturday night when Poole won at Leicester and the Poole riders sheepishly came out from the pits to clap at their fans, no criticism of Poole, well done to them for doing it. The riders got close to the fans but not too close until a photographer wanted a photo of them in front of the fans, it all looked a bit awkward... a bit different though when you've got a crowd of 600 in front of you celebrating as opposed to the 16 or so at Leicester :rofl:

Is Freddie underperforming though? Probably a little bit yes, but I would suggest that these days the Ekstraliga has a stronger line-up, in the heats that Freddie rides in and the tracks that Freddie rides on than in the GP's

The 2nd part is ridiculous if you think about it.56 riders in the Extraleague and 13 top riders( taken out KK and Berntzon). GP’s are  far harder rides.

Thanks for saying it's ridiculous, how kind of you... erm rude!

I suggest if you think about it, racing Miedzinski at Torun is a far more difficult challenge than facing most of the GP field at Prague or Vojens etc.

Each Polish club will have riders with far more track knowledge, having done hundreds of laps around their home track than riders pitching up for 1 or 2 nights at a GP venue.

In that case why is Freddie not getting maximum after maximum in Czestochowa ??. Miedzinski is even no great shakes  consistently around Torun- he fell on Sunday without anyone near him. I suggest you have a re- think :)

So track knowledge and "track specialists" play no part in Speedway? Poland seem mostly unable to win anything at world level outside of their own country. Let's hold all of the GP's at Wolverhampton and then see who ends up as World Champion, Zmarzlik probably wouldn't even qualify for the following years event!
