brandonbee48 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 If Torun aren't in the pits ready to race at 1845, then it will be declared a ZG walkover win! As it has to be. This makes the Elite League look well organised. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yes Torun have until 18:45 then walkover win they were 17,000 fans at the stadium That's the really sad part of it all, hard earned money spent by people.. I wonder if it will lead to crowd trouble? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post 1402. Hope not, but i'd be bloody fuming if i'd handed over my hard-earned zlotys. How about a ban on club and riders for 2014? . Hit them where it hurts. Totally disgraceful situation.

brandonbee48 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Imagine a big domestic football final, any country. Star player injured on the eve of the match. Packed stadium the next day and his team demand a two week postponement, and then walk out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I can see both sides of the coin here. That Torun should have been allowed to find a replacement for Gollob or R/R and such things. On the other hand you just can't postpone meetings because one of the teams have several injuries. This year Smederna have suffered really hard from Injuries and there have been many meetings where we have missed several riders. For large parts of the season but Smederna kept fighting and eventually made the play offs and semi finals before getting struck by another injury.

pawel115 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Walkover its official now shame on you Torun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Apparently Torun had found a replacement for Gollob. The teams and the team managers wanted to ride but the owners had apparently said no. Torun will be demoted from Ekstraliga and will be fined 3'000'000 Polish Zloty, which is about £600'000GBP.

The big scandal is they knew the situation last night and let all the fans travel to the stadium.Speedway is a joke in practically every country it is run.For me it is getting to be time to turn my back on the sport.Maybe i will go to a meeting in future and maybe i won't.And the thing is i could get into most meetings for nothing!!!!That is how bad i feel at the moment about the past year or two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawel115 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 in polish league most owners and co owners are shady characters who became rich fast due to collapse on communism type in your search engine name Jacek Debski who was minister of sports in Poland in 90's and read his bio and what happened to him on wikipedia and there are tons of people like that in sports in Poland.
