Apart from when the result was called incorrectly in the 2002 race-off. Can you remind us what happened then please Genghis. Rained off after Heat 22 - and called after 22 races and not 20. The Czech Republic were declared winners of the meeting, but Denmark were leading the meeting after 20 heats.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the Ekstraliga meeting between Czestochowa and Wroclaw has been postponed, so the global superstar has traveled to Poland for nothing. Not if he shags Charlie later it won't be ;D

Swedish commentators perplexed at the moment regarding the polish machine park for track curating. Apparently there's no extra material in stock, and they are using giant brushes to brush the water of the track. No proper equipment available, which is kind of poor at an event of this magnitude.

The round at Sheffield was abandoned after 20 heats, with the result standing and the race off at Peterborough was abandoned after Ht 22 with the result after Ht 20 standing (or at least the qualifiers for the final after Ht 20 standing - had it been after Ht 22 Denmark and the United States would've been tied in second place behind the Czechs).

Yes, but that's a fucking huge John Deere tractor pulling the brush around the track - apparently the head bloke at the Leszno club is one of Poland's largest land owners.

No, it was called the wrong way around. The Danes were given the nod for the final on race wins over the Yanks, but the Czechs were declared winners of the meeting even though the Danes led the way after 20 heats. The meeting was called after 22 heats, when it should have been called after 20 heats. Fortunately it didn't affect the two qualifiers, but it did affect who won the meeting.

Why don't they get the fucking big blade out there instead of pansying around.

Oxford Speedway has got a bloody blade and we haven't even been running for 2 seasons. Yet more gross incompetence from Ole Olsen. The Race Director should make sure there is sufficient track equipment in place for a meeting like this. Olsen must go!!

Didn't they have to borrow one from the city council or something when it rained at Prague one season?

Didn't they have to borrow one from the city council or something when it rained at Prague one season? It's unbelievable. As I said, Oxford Speedway has a blade - paid for and owned by the fans. So how the hell can an organisation as big as the FIM not have a blade? There is the odd cock-up at domestic meetings in Britain, but as they're run on a budget of a sixpence, that's to be expected. But how the hell can a World Cup meeting with a huge crowd and a huge TV audience not have the right equipment? It's a joke - the FIM/ BSI, whatever it's called these days, is a fucking joke.

Can't but agree, it's a complete fiasco and a farce. Don't know what else to say really.
