If you are a speedway junkie like me and watch all that is available it still seems price worth paying. I think to get every meeting filmed last year (except a couple of postponments) we would be looking at alot higher fees. That`s 71 which includes Sweden- and as they are showing Tuesday and Thursday Sweden then that`s going to be around 30-35 i would guess which leaves around 36 Polish matches.

Some matches they might not show at all. For me it was unwatchable live anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted March 25, 2021 After exchanging various emails with Premier (they seem pretty prompt at replying in fairness) and explaining that I’m on about Speedway and not football like they kept referring to for some reason, it seems that Polish Speedway will be solely shown on Sundays and will not feature the Friday matches as per last year. Not sure on the reasoning behind that, but that seems to be the general view..... unless anything changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,727 Posted March 26, 2021 Prem Pawlicki has tested postive for Covid 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted March 26, 2021 Going to be interesting to see what Grudziadz manage to do before the first match. Pawlicki is ruled out of that one and Jakobsen will be riding for Gniezno so can’t cover as a COVID guest either. Grudziadz lack of strength in depth is evident so they will be looking to secure a second guest in the coming week or so I expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted March 27, 2021 Difficult decision coming up for Toruń before next week - both Holders should be back, so do they bring both of them back into the side and then there be a straight shootout where it’ll be 2 out of Przedpelski, Miedzinski and Musielak. Should find out mid week but interesting time ahead. Me personally would be leaving out Miedzinski but time will tell! In other news, there are rumours of Zengota being linked with Grudziadz as a covid guest. They won’t of been too encouraged by today’s showing if that’s the case!

Tomasz Bajerski has said that after the sparring match with Gorzow on Thursday it’s likely that Toruń will loan out one of their senior riders - likely to be either Miedzinski or Musielak. Going to be interesting to see which one leaves and then where they end up, especially being so close to the start of the season on Saturday in both leagues. Maybe Łódź or Rybnik?
