The club should have invited some of the council and aepg to watch this tonight! That was some of the best speedway I’ve seen in a long time. This city needs speedway

For me personally as someone who has only been following speedway a few years, that was the best meeting I’ve ever been too & that heat 15 was unbelievable… iversen keeping woffinden who was on a max behind him for 4 laps, absolutely unreal

Emil does the same as you say but you don't hear him being called Polish, just poor all round like the camera work most of the while.

To be fair to me I generally know the difference between a native Polish name and Russian one as well - although ‘enko and ‘chenko usually denotes a Ukrainian name. ‘Ov usually denotes Russian. So at first I did wonder if Tarasenko was Ukrainian.

Would of thought there would of been something said during the meeting about the showground situation unless they were told to say nothing at this stage , Nicholls asked Wojdylo if he wanted to comeback again next year , but suppose he could of meant to the Uk and not specifically Peterborough

Entertaining chat about how to pronounce Wojdylo. Hint chaps: ask him!

Expand  

He still can't get "Gilkes" right, so there's no chance of anything as obvious as that :D

It's obviously an editorial decision not to mention it, can't think why though, like the crafty camera angles to make it look like there's a decent crowd in... it's such a sham

Was just about to say the same - Emil does the same of course!
 

That said re the pronunciation thing surely a bit of prep and asking the rider so how do you pronounce your name might be in order - Polish isn’t an easy language for us in the U.K. but writing it out phonetically would be a start - I was most surprised to see that Łódź is pronounced ‘wuj’ and I actually only learned that from a travel Tv show!

Isn't Emils nickname,,, the Russian Rocket

Ellis for one I would think.Think that’s why he gets so much stick in GB.

No denying 0000 is a dud score - however take away Woffinden and it would have been an absolute pasting! Need Tobias back for sure - but Jacks return means no Tai?

Was always going to be a lower attendance ,

But then again at one point before statrf of ht14 i think the cameraman was filming in between two peoples shoulders was that giving fhe impression that fans were packed in tight like sardines as well

There was a very decent crowd tonight, probably the biggest since the season opener. Considering it was on TV and we are bottom of the league, it was an excellent turn out.

Fair enough, you was there and I wasn't,  I've been to most this season at Peterborough and it certainly didn't look like one of the biggest crowds, certainly not as many as for the recent Ippo meeting... or the Leicester match

can we define decent 1k, 1.5k 2k? as Brucie used to say Higher?

Expand  

Stand holds 2k i think? So 1400 and the rest 300, so a good 1700 hundred plus i would say. Excellent for a TV meeting. Maybe the fans are making the most of it while they can.
