On my first visit to Poland to attend league matches in 2008, one of the two matches we attended that visit was Poznan v Bydgoszcz in the second tier. Visitors Bydgoszcz brought quite a fans' following with them (the two places are around 140 miles apart) and had Andreas Jonsson at No.1. And down at reserve was a then relatively unknown 18 year old Russian by the name of Emil Sayfutdinov. In a last heat decider Bydgoszcz won 46-44. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a sell-out according to the sign "Wszystkie sprzedane bilety" at the ticket office, and we bumped into several people outside the stadium trying to get hold of tickets. I'd logged-on to my on-line Sparta account the very minute tickets became available, but had to wait 50 minutes before I could even access the sales page and ended up getting tickets in a block next to the one I was planning to buy in. Fantastic atmosphere despite the thrashing they were being given - and it became very noisy when Drabik and Janowski got a 5-1 over Sayfutdinov and Kurtz in heat 8 to bring the deficit down to 19-29. It was then probably the quietest a few minutes later when Kolodziej and Hampel grabbed a 4-2 over Woffy and Jamrog in heat 9. A bit of an odd, and perhaps unexpected fact I suppose, in my last two visits to Wroclaw (last Sunday and last August v. Torun) Woffy had a total of 11 rides and only won one of them!! And that one win only because of Piotr Pawlicki's engine failure in heat 13 on Sunday. This latest trip was a 6 day visit and we'd been to Gorzow v Czestochowa on Friday night. Despite the early 6pm start time the attendance was 9,605, including a smattering of Czestochowa fans. They would defo have had to take the day off work with a journey of a little over 300 miles!!  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is something that had gone completely of that batch of memories then!! (A joy of getting older I suppose!! LOL!!) And I was getting my miles and kms mixed up too....the two are around 140 kms apart (around 88 miles). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,935 Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Think he hit the headlines a couple of years before when he qualified for a Euro or World Final, but it was then found out he was too young to compete!! He was riding for Bydgoszcz from 2006 Edited August 29, 2019 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
