RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted October 25, 2017 It looks a very modern huge stadium with a roof. It was closed for many years pending this complete rebuild. It looks like there's little of the old Speedway World Final stadium left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted October 25, 2017 wikipedia said that the record attendance for Slaski was 130k for the -73 world final. Thats not right is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarkens 119 Posted October 25, 2017 I believe the record attendance for Slaski was 120k and it was for footy. Â 1973 speedway world final was 100k, at least that's what people say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â 1973 speedway world final was 100k, at least that's what people say Thats what I recall as well. Remember spiegal explaining here how people were almost forced to attend to make the stadium full. Busses from different parts of the city were bringing people in... something like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarkens 119 Posted October 25, 2017 i wouldn't go as far as 'people were almost forced to attend' but we're talking here about communism's peak, back then it was very popular for all sorts of factories, coal mines, steelworks etc. to distribute tickets to their employees and provide them with transport to the venue, so yeah buses were bringing people in, but i don't think they were actually forced to attend. Â back in 60s and 70s football and speedway had some crazy turn ups in Poland, partially due to lack of other things to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,984 Posted October 25, 2017 Seen a programme about sport in East Germany and particularly football and I think it was a European clash between Dresden and Bayern Munich,the stadium was full of Stasi and Communist party members.A normal citizen couldn't get near the stadium for fear they might meet someone from the 'enemy'. Poland was maybe not so bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
