    Speak for yourself... I was born, raised and been living in Bydgoszcz (not the UK) , supporting my local team "Polonia" since the time of Mieczyslaw "Mike" Polukard, hence my avatar.

    must have missed that. Which post suggests that some season ticket holders know what's happening?

    The two Polish league matches shown Sunday evening on Box Nation absolutely board me. The racing wasn’t all that brilliant, but the interlude between each race was terrible. Ok, they show a re-run of the best parts of race just finished, then they showed rerun of the race before that, and the race before that, then start all over again. And the music that accompanied these reruns, terrible. Grump over!

    It pains me to say it, but with the noises coming from the government about team sport "bubbles", I now can't see a British Speedway league starting this year

    Most stadiums in Poland are multi purpose lot of them have football pitch inside (Rzeszow,Lublin,Tarnow,Krosno,Rybnik,Poznan to name a few) and one American Football field(Wroclaw)

    I have on the whole staunchly defended BSI to what i consider unfair criticism, but i do think they along with the FIM and the Wroclaw club should make an immediate announcemt regarding the GP there on August 1st. It is only 3 weeks away !!!!! The announcement in my view should be made in the next 24 hours. Hundred`s of Brits have tickets, flights and hotels booked and it`s just not good enough on this occasion !!!!

    I’d not disagree with that at all

    Counciils do support their local teams but its TV where the money comes in big.. The TV companies have to put in tenders over there to win the rights to show the sport.. Similar to the way the TV companies do over here to win the football contracts... Some very big money is offered, such is the armchair audience potential for the meetings they show.. And with the big audience comes the advertising revenue that fills the TV companies coffers.. The TV companies even run 'magazine' type programmes on the sport on Sunday evenings, during the week, and in the lead up to the weekends action, such is the demand for the sport... Add in a major national company to sponsor the league, and you see how it's a world away from the UK's version of the same sport..

    Had a good weekend on the betting front. Even got lucky with my bets on the Czestachowa match as was going to take a beating and they all got voided.

    Maybe. But it is a different system altogether. First most clubs don’t have their own stadiums and clubs on the continent are run differently . In Poland I think a lot are sporting clubs with different sports under one umbrella just like in Germany . Bayern Munich and Barcelona aren’t only football clubs. And I think some of the Polish speedway clubs are the same and get local government support.

    Don’t use facts, it doesn’t help with a lot on here

    In the UK your average earnings are about 3 times of that in Poland.So logically thinking you would pay roughly 3 times more for things in the UK than you do in Poland.

    The pricing is low because the wages in Poland are low.If you want to pay less to get into speedway ask the UK government to lower wages in the country and low and behold everything will probably be cheaper, even speedway. That is why if you lok. at Denmark everything is more expensive as you also earn more. Nothing to do with getting the price right

    Of course a bargain, unless of course you are earning polish wages or have to pay for flights and hotels

    I'm sure he did wear the inflatable jacket.He has been pretty trim for a couple of years now.

    Not for me. He had a decent win but that was it. Lindback is another in the same category as Kasprzak and Zagar. Come with the ‘big star’ status but way too flakey and can rarely be relied upon to bring up the goods when you need them.

    Life-sized replicas of Gary Lineker. It explains why he seems to be ubiquitous.

    And he has won exactly the same number of individual World Titles as every Polish rider who has ever ridden since the sport began...

    TERRIFIC obituary on Maurice by Peter Oakes, who knew him well and worked alongside him at times, in SS this week. Well worth a read.

    So very sad and purely a result of greed, when a philanthropist was needed. That was my second home from 1955 to 1967 and to see all of the different parts of the stadium that I used to roam now left to die and rot away. I see Gemini's spot is still there. for me it was always the back straight. It's desecration.

    I'm keeping my tickets, we went for the VIP ones with the buffet and free bar etc as this was out first Warsaw GP. Gutted to have to wait but I'd rather go when hopefully things are much more normal.

    As I'm not savvy enough to be on facebook, twitter or any other communication outlets, I do rely on some of my info from this column which is easy to use for an old fashioned old git like me.
