45 mins Polish TV documentary on Emil Sayfutdinov here http://speedwaytv.sportowefakty.pl/11429/czarny-charakter-emil-sajfutdinow

Latest on the stadium redevelopment http://www.racingpost.com/news/greyhounds/clock-ticking-for-wimbledon-stadium-bid/1801297/top/

We will be allright !!! plenty of Polish streamers around. Trust me !!!

Can`t help you too much-because I watch all the polish league on streams-however the extraleague is broadcast on N sport part of the canal + channels. the 1st division is broadcast on TVP sport. certainly a motorised dish would get you both with the necessary box and viewing card. I should imagine there are plenty of companies around supplying and fixing the necessary equipment. probably a fixed dish would also get both.

They would have had to have been extra special to beat the Michanek v Curtis Tilehurst 2nd half races in the early 70`s.

I suspect it might have said Jawa on the outside-but wasn`t Jawa on the inside.

3 hours 40 mins so they say -230 km

this website I have always found excellent for European rail travel http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml Doesn`t look as if July yet is available-however put up other dates and it appears there is only 1 train per day !! it would have to be out Friday 18.35 direct train 3 hours back Sunday morning 06.25 direct train 3 hours. Looks as if bus might be the better option http://www.1188.lv/transport/bus/schedule?from=R%C4%ABgas+SAO&to=Daugavpils+AO&date=2015-07-18 appears to be also an excellent website showing plenty of buses during the day. bus station is next to the main Riga railway station.

I can see you putting more miles on the car-the Rybnik final followed by Polish play-off semi`s 1st leg. and maybe St Johann to lonigo -450 km approx. ??

For me it was 17th june 1968 Reading v Nelson 1st meeting at Tilehurst.

Wholeheartedly agree ON all points bar no.9- I`m not sure the clubs have pushed for Friday and Saturday fixtures. What I would agree with is that matches will be postponed at the last minute if other meetings the day before are rained off resulting in rider un-availability-irrespective whether the match is scheduled for TV.

Google translation of Sportowefakty article "The political and economic situation in Russia also affects the sporting life. Precisely for this reason, the organization faced with a question mark in Togliatti SEC, which previously was a success One Sport. One Sport has already announced three organizers of the SEC tournament final for the season 2015. It will begin June 20 in Torun. Competition later moving to Landshut July 11 and will end on September 19 in Ostrow Wielkopolski. Location remains a mystery third round. - We are still talking about it. Of course we want to repeat the eastern direction, but it is not easy because of the current situation in the world. We are waiting for some movement on the part of our friends from Russia. It's hard to predict what's happen. The situation with the Russian economy is the way she is. Unfortunately, the ruble is the way she is. I think that in January everything should be explained, and we have already had a full calendar of the SEC for the season 2015 - Charles Leyman said with One Sport. Organizers Cycle Speedway European Championships protect themselves in the event of the failure of the Russian round of the European Championship Speedway. - We are building an alternative to Togliatti. Just in case we need to protect yourself, if the situation in Russia will not change. It comes to us with a heavy heart, because we are very keen on the eastern market. We want to continue the thread Russian in our events. Both we and our partners from Mega Lady are behind this, that one of the rounds, the SEC held in Russia. We really want to, but the situation is complicated. We have some alternatives, but if not managed to organize a tournament in Togliatti - Leyman said. For now known five permanent SEC 2015 participants who remained in the cycle so-won places in the past season. It Emil Sayfutdinov, Peter Kildemand, Nicki Pedersen, Martin Vaculik and Janusz Kolodziej. - Wild Card admit most likely after the Challenge tournament. We want to see how the situation will develop in the season, and who speedway riders goes off promotion with Lendawy. One wild card is practically a foregone conclusion for Grigory Łaguty. Remain to be filled so still two places - finished our interlocutor..

It says on the SEC website that the start time for the 3rd round is 15.00 hrs CET so with the time difference in Russia it still could be Togliatti

I think we are using the same thread(all one sport) taken from SEC website One Sport, the organizer of Speedway Best Pairs Cup series has revealed the ticket prices for the three tournaments during the press conference.
