Subedei 0 Posted October 22, 2006 Well, here's a thread for anyone interested in rumours, innuendo and facts about team building for the Polish Ekstraliga, where the early news is that Antonio Lindback has finally taken the plunge and signed in Poland. I guess that must place doubts over his continued participation in Britain. It looks almost certain that Jaroslaw Hampel will be forced out of Wroclaw, since Polish rules limit sides to two GP riders in their starting line-up and Wroclaw already have Messrs Crump and Andersen. Leszno is thought to be a likely destination for Hampel. Australian sensation Chris Holder is rumoured to be attracting interest from Wroclaw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent Kestrel 0 Posted October 22, 2006 Will Tomasz Gollob be leaving Tarnow? or has their financial situation improved? Be interesting to see whether Marcin Rempala and Kolodziej stay. The sportsboard forum suggest Protasiewicz, Holta and Miedzinski could all be on the move. On another note, i thought the authorities were expanding the league to 10 teams, does anybody know when they will confirm the additional teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mateusz 0 Posted October 22, 2006 Gollob may go to Torun (!) if Mr Kartosik (ranked #5 on the list of Polish richest men) invest some serious money in the Torun club. Both guys have got some common business connected with Gollob's petrol stations around Bydgoszcz. PePe and AJ will stay in Bydgoszcz. Same as Kosciecha and our U-21 boys who are already in. The menagement of Polonia is having talks with Sullivan, Zagar, Holta and B.Pedersen now. At least one of them should supply the team for next year. Personally I hope it will be Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) Gollob to Torun? Surely that would be the betrayal to end all betrayals? I understand that current sponsors Poldim are likely to take an equity stake in Tarnow and re-establish the club on a financial basis. However, it's unclear whether Marta Poltorak and Marma, who provide the financial wherewithall for Rzeszow, will remain with the club next season. It all depends on the local authorities funding work to the stadium. If Poltorak, who had a major fall out with Rune Holta, and Marma pull out, Nicki Pedersen should remain at Rzeszow, with Marma switching their backing to his GP ambitions.

Mr Snackette 190 Posted October 22, 2006 More importantly, I would have thought, is what teams will be riding in the Ekstraliga in 2007. Was it not the intention that the league was to be expanded to take in 10 teams? Is that still on the agenda? If so who are likely to join the party? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazzman 72 Posted October 22, 2006 I read that Holder is set to take a Kilndt-like role at Wroclaw next season and Sullivan to Bydgoszcz aswell, I reckon Zagar might be a bit better for Polonia, he seemed to enjoy it on GP day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mateusz 0 Posted October 22, 2006 The problem with Zagar is that he doesn't seem to want to ride in all meetings. And we're looking for a full-time rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted October 23, 2006 As expected, Nicki Pedersen signs for another season at Rzeszow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mateusz 0 Posted October 23, 2006 I agree, there was a stated intention to expand the Ekstraliga in 2007, but there has been no recent announcement - is it still on the agenda? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now it's more likely it will remain the same as it was - I mean 8 teams in Ekstraliga. The rules shouldn't be changed during the game but it's a Polish mess so you can never be sure.. As far as I know in the end of October there's a meeting of those fellas who govern over speedway here and the final rules (inc the amount of teams) for 2007 are to be fixed. What date do the Polish teams have to be declared by? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The end of January for signing riders on contracts. Later you can loan riders only.
