It is embarrassing by comparison and at the same time a shame that UK speedway will never match the league racing including the enthusiastic supporters that you get with Poland. Surely it is time to drop the live action in the UK on national television and show a highlights programme leaving BSN to show the sport on live streams. It would be good if ITV 4 sport were convinced to show matches from Poland. It might help the U K sport. U K speedway is a poor relation to what is available elsewhere. I'm surprised EUROSPORT/DISCOVERY haven't worked out some sort of deal to show Polish matches on British TV tbh considering how high they are on Motorsport in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but the sport in the u k should aspire to provide the best but the it falls short and sadly it does not generate the same enthusiasm and hype that Sunday speedway from Poland can give in order to entertain. Go back in time and Sunday at Eastbourne and Rye House use to be good but the sport in the UK has capitulated and we are left with the dregs. Overseas riders use the UK as a cash top up but it does not do their credibility any favours. It fills in a free day day on Monday or Thursday but cannot compete with Polish meetings and it is embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 If its some good racing and plenty of passing inside and out at high speed, you best come up to the GT tyres northside arena, Sundays meeting after a slow start and track issues was a fantastic watch UTC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer1969 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I sm watching on Eurosport and I would say the coverage leaves a lot to be desired BSN coverage of meetings is far better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling those riders tonight the 'dregs' as well as others choosing to race in the Prem is a pretty poor comment which I doubt you would ever say to their faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 You can sit there getting all worked up that it’s not like the Ekstraliga but you are just kidding yourself if you think British speedway will ever be at that level again, just enjoy it for what it is, some good racing and something to watch on a Monday night And by the way, I’ve watched plenty of crap meetings from Poland. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
