I see that there is a one week break in the Polish league schedule the day after the Leszno GP, therefore just wondering if anyone (maybe our Polish contingent?) know/think that there will be some sort of open meeting on anywhere in Poland? I see that there is an U21 Qualifier in Germany that date, but surely that wouldn't affect some sort of meeting? Any thoughts?

Gutted that there are no meetings after the GP, has put the kibosh on me going this year.

 

I have been to Leszno a couple of times now and I have gotten greedy for two meetings during my Polish speedway weekend.

Is it just the Extraliga that has a break or all league speedway?

The lower leagues are all showing a blank weekend in their fixtures too.

Same here it was an eye opening experience going to a league meeting the next day. We joined the supporters on the train and at the station we ended up at we could not believe what the supporters were met with. Riot police with batons and dogs who escorted the supporters to the stadium and kept them in their own area. We were able to go in a different direction and have a drink etc as upon seeing the police we had taken off our English supporters attire.

There was no trouble at the ground but the supporters were kept out of the bars in the town by being escorted both ways.

But must agree two meetings in two days made the weekend.

I think this is a bit of an own goal by the Polish Authorities,as Sundays in Poland are quiet most fans travelling abroad look forward to taking in a league match on Sunday.I can maybe see the thinking of not running the top division as not to distract or affect the attendance of the G.P but there doesn't seem any reason while the 2 lower divisions should not run.

Hi Guys

 

Looking for a wee bit of Info. We have a mini bus taking us to the GP. Is there an official car park to leave it or is it first come first served on the street ?

Can anyone tell me the best way to get to Lipno, where we are staying at Hotel 1 2 3 for the weekend, from Poznan Airport ?

Arriving on Friday afternoon from Stanstead.

Taxi, Bus, Train ? There is 5 of us going.

The train timetable I can find says around 3 hours travel, it's only about 66km ?

Thanks in advance.
