Sorry please increase my order to 5 Scottish Scarves, thanks

Hi, Please put me down for four of the Scottish version. I will pay\collect at the stadium Thanks a lot.

Cheers B52. 3rd bend sounds like a good shout before moving onto the back straight. Will be cheering grumpy crumpy on in Italy as I would love Tomasz to secure the title when we are there.

Mateusz, We have sector B tickets I seem to remember that from previous threads, you have to get into the stadium really early, to guarantee your spot on the back straight. So my questions are 1. What time would you recommend? 2. Can you buy drink within the stadium while you wait? or can you smuggle booze in? 3. Does it get a bit hairy guarding your spot? as I heard that some groups of supporters tape off large areas of the terracing, is that right?

lol....Truly bonkers.................but I like it!! I remember Hans Nielson came to Glasgow to do some match races against Kenny McKinna..the event was hyped to the max and I remember as a young kid being really excited about it. I guess keeping the identity of the Speedway Stig would be nigh on impossible but having a 'pool' of stigs to choose from might keep people guessing. Fun, promotional idea, made me laugh.

I read on a Polish Website today that officials from Zielona Gora are travelling to the UK to cast their eye over some of our tracks ahead of a track remodeling this winter. The tracks mentioned were Rye House , Lakeside , Eastbourne and Ipswich!! Polands first trick track? Now all they need is a wee jaunt to Armadump to complete the set. Of course we at Ashfield already have a track modeled on Zielona Gora.....no passing after the first bend. Obviously no one has told them that Ipswich is now the Bydgosh of East Anglia.

Hi Bongo, I tried emails to the farewell committee and direct to Leszno stadium. No reply from Leszno (email was in English) The farewell committee said they hoped to have some tickets this month but that didn't seem certain, they also said that there was no danger of us not getting in, however I would like to secure a good seat in advance! Was stuck on the apex of the first and second bend for the grand prix this year and it wasn't the best view... So at the moment no further forward.

I would say that is due more to Gollob being a magician!

Yes you are right Alan, that last update from Mateusz was a cracker, thank you.

Interesting stuff Mateusz have you any feel on what changes will be made. Its amazing that Torun has dropped by so much with the worlds greatest speedway stadium in place, is that purely down to ticket prices? .....slightly off topic but how far is it from the Bydgoszcz train station to the stadium as I have to collect my tickets on the day of the GP...can't wait..the place is going to go off!!

The devotion from the ZG fans is always amazing to watch, especially when their track is absolutely guff!!

Lovely Thank You!!

Hi Mateusz, Sorry off topic but can I ask if the Ekstraliga Second Leg Grand Final is still scheduled for the 10th of October? Who gets the right to choose the 'home' or 'away' fixture, is it the team that finished highest in the league? And are their still tickets for the GP the previous night?

You can buy a ticket on the day for Torun, our group went to the Torun v Zielona Gora match after the Lezsno GP. Incredible stadium, great track but it was half full, and I believe crowds are still an issue so you won't have any problems in getting in. You buy your tickets outside the perimeter fence, if you fancy a beer go to the temporary bar outside, once inside the fence you can't drink. No idea about the under 21 match sorry.

Staying in Poznan for the Lezsno GP and the Torun v ZG match is now in our sights! Can anyone advise on distance to the stadium from the train station, are there bars round about it, whats the best place to sample the pre-match atmosphere. Looks like there are great views everywhere in the stadium, any comments on the best or worse place to sit? Is the upper tier to far away from the action? Thanks in advance.

Can any of our Polish friends advise if the Ekstraliga dates are being reviewed. Are Zielona Gora trying to get them changed? From what I can gather it appears that the harsh winter has had an impact on the development work at the Falubaz track? Just interested as I am going to the Lezsno Grand Prix and would love a choice of fixtures on the 25th of April. I think Wroclaw v Gorzow is the only fixture scheduled at the moment (we are staying in Poznan)

Thanks

A sad story, scumbags! Hopefully you are well on the way with regards to your recovery, and who knows what the future holds. You are being a wee bit hard on DK Rides Again as IIRC stands for If I Remember Correctly, I dont think the tone of their post was derogatory at all. Anyway best of luck and respect to you for chasing the dream!

Sorry I don't agree the last Grand Prix in Australia was fairly well attended it was just in the wrong location. I think the cost of hire and clean up afterwards crippled the local promoter. A more humble abode is required but Australia deserves a GP. New Zealand not so sure but it makes logistical sense. I don't think Sky would worry one little bit about taking a feed from the other side of the world.

Cheers, not to be sniffed at!

Cheers We are staying in Poznan. Apart from our host city what other 1st/2nd division options could there be on the Sunday? ie a couple of hours travel time. Was the average gate for Poznan last year a couple of thousand? Thanks again

Hi Mateusz, Pretty gutted that Wroclaw is the only match on offer after Lezsno. I really don't like the track and the crowds by Ekstraliga standards are poor. Any chance of their being 1st division matches on that Sunday? Cheers Fingers

Just became a follower of Charlies on twitter (why not she is easy on the eye ) Are there any speedway riders on twitter who have something interesting to say? Other than the 110% guff which gets right on my wick!

Decent meeting? Its flipping superb! Everything thats great about our sport!
