  1. Visited Riga a couple of weeks ago and really liked the place.  Just over 2 hours flight from the UK and the airport is only 20 mins by bus from the town centre.  I asked the guy on reception at our hotel how far the track was and he said it's about 20/25 mins by bus from the centre.  Will definitely go back for a GP, but not this year.

    Wroclaw as said above is brilliant. Close airport. Track is served by direct trams taking 10/15 mins and a great town centre.

    Going to Warsaw in May and will report back. :t:

    So we win two trophies this year instead of three. Let’s face it we will win this cup unless something unexpected and dramatic happens. Only 4 points to make up. Yet we treat this season as a failure. Scunthorpe on the other hand were saying before the start of today’s meeting that it was their biggest meeting in years. That’s the difference between what we expect as Poole fans and the reality of other clubs. And that’s meant with no disrespect to the Scorpions who assembled a very good side this year.

    Of course you are going to get thick morons jumping in trying to mock Poole for not winning every single trophy going, but no club has been anywhere as successful as our fine club in the 21st century. 

    And we all know next year we will do it again, and again Poole will be the team to beat. 

    Another huge crowd expected at Wimborne Road on Wednesday. Douglas will continue his love affair with the Wimborne Road circuit and will be difficult to beat. Kemp will try his best but I don’t believe he will repeat his last visit. Allen and Palm-Toft will battle but we do have the beating of them. 

    Pirates battled for every point today and rode exceptionally well. But for trying to team ride on 5-1’s twice and getting picked off, we could have drawn the meeting. Let’s hope for fair weather, and another trophy in the cabinet. Bring it on!

    :)

  3. I think Scunny probably needed another couple of points to make it interesting, but they go to Poole with a chance.

    Went to the meeting thinking it would be freezing and the temperature was great.  Really like the track and never seen a bad match there.  However, Gate 4 was too advantageous today, but Gate 2 was awful so it made each heat interesting.

    Lawson did incredibly well to win heat 13 from gate 2. :t:

    Warsaw has 2 airports.

    Chopin is the main airport and much closer to the City but most Ryanair flights from the UK go to Warsaw Modlin.

    I think only Manchester had a Ryanair flight to Chopin this year.

    Edit - Wizzair usually have a few flights to Chopin from the UK, if you would consider them.

    Will definitely look at Wizzair. Looking to fly from Leeds, Manchester or Liverpool. 


  5. Just got tickets through eBilet.  Very easy, just don't say you want an invoice as it starts saying your post code is invalid.  As soon as I said I didn't want an invoice worked perfect.  Tickets emailed through immediately.

    Something to look forward to. Hotel very reasonable too. Never been to Warsaw.  Just need to get flights when they get released by Ryanair.  

    Which is the best Airport given the choice?

    Thanks :t:

    The same venues just add Wroclaw,. As for Australia I am not sure if if Discovery is contractully obliged to take the series out of europe. 

    It was mentioned that Gdansk (not the speedway track) may take over the Gorzow license as they lost money this year due to "the town" not supporting financially.

    I actually enjoyed the two day World Final (I would say that being a Hans Nielsen fan!) as it made a weekend of it.

    Yep, It was different for the time and remember well Eric getting beat at the end of Day 1 to throw it wide open.  Hans dominated day 2.  I'm from Bradford and was 19 and didn't check the details of the trip on the Bradford Supporters coach.  Couldn't believe it when we turned down the M1 off the M62.  I assumed we were going to Hull and across, but No.  We drove all the way to Dover and then all up through Belgium into Holland.  Was told it saved £20. :rofl:
