It cant be good if we didnt retain it surely? For me, its a poor display for speedway in general, you are a seasoned loyal speedway fan, youl go week in week out, some like me dont bother anymore, but il tell you now, if anyone watching that who dosnt go to watch live speedway, will not consider that entertaining enough to spend a good £50 going to see it live, cos that was truly awful speedway of the highest degree. And the crowd is a reflection of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any new people tuned in and saw the p poor crowd you would wonder why it is given airtime. A decent nights speedway but no one can be proud of the on track support. Sums up speedway. Decent?

PotteringAround Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Been shockingly bad crowds and a shockingly bad track devoid of passing,... no comparison to Belle Vue last year. But proud of Dan Bewley and Robert Lambert. Terrific effort without arguably the GB No.1. World Champions last year, runners up this year. And bronze medal in the U-21. Not too shabby at all. (And of course the new world champions would be British if their grandfathers hadn't been criminals). 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 The UK, The Swedes and the Poles should run it over a 3 year cycle.. .. Decent crowds in those countries for World Team events.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 P poor support on the terraces. Sad really that speedway and and event like this has fallen to such depths and you have to wonder how you drag it up from the nadir that it seems to have reached. What do those in charge need to do to reinvent this spectacle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourentee Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Congratulations to Australia. But that's a fine night for GB without their No 1 rider. Great effort from Lambert and Bewley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poles will be thrilled to hear that the World Cup will be making a return next year on a throttle jockey Polish track in an attempt to salvage their reputation after consistent failure in the SON. Lambert, Bewley and Woffinden all very good round Wroclaw… big question is can we get one more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Congrats to the Aussies,also a big well done to GB for topping the charts and ending with a silver medal.Personally i would have chose gates 2 and 4.Bewley flew from gate 4 only a race before the semi final and if the management had watched the semi final the Aussies made some good gates from 2 and 4.But we move on and our young pretenders are starting to look like the real deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, maybe im wrong and maybe its brilliant watching 4 riders follow each other for 4 laps in the shiny colourful “leathers” id rather watch 4 riders pass and repass over and over again again. mark loram would never get more than 5 points per meeting if he raced today…. Nevermind peter collins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Some big lessons learnt when it comes to gate choices at the crunch over the weekend but to be the only nation to come with a medal in both events is not to be overlooked! after the first 2 heats in semi 1 a silver seemed impossible! A few great performances across the board and great seeing the Poles taken down a peg or two! Can Tai get Brennan in at Wrocław next season for some practice? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to the two GB lads and comgrats to the Aussies who I thought were worthy winners. Awful track though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
