racers and royals

I assume you are talking Gothenburg not Stockholm ? Been to Gothenburg GP several times. The back straight lower tier is a good place to sit and i have also sat home straight entry to the first bend which is also good viewing.Last time i went i stayed at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia hotel which is right near the bus and train station-handy for the bus to and from the airport and 10 mins walk to Ullevi.

Janusz Kolodziej and Mikkael Bech have signed for Vetlanda

You are asking a lot but here goes. The polish heat details can be found here http://speedwayekstraliga.pl/regulaminy/2012/RDMP%2016_02_2012_TJ.pdf it`s 2012 but as far as i know hasn`t changed in 2013(2 tables depending on the coin toss). On the international section there is Ghostwalkers excellent 2013 thread and on page one will give you most of the answers. There is slso my not so excellant Polish teams thread,which gives all the line-ups. Both Sweden and Poland use the established tac sub when 6 behind rule.

The u21 will not be shown.

I don`t think anyone has said it`s thriving(even myself despite what Orion say`s i said) its very difficult for most lesure industries-however take out the GRA and Stadia UK and with BAGS income and good crowds at weekends i cannot accept that dog racing is in terminal decline.

Isn`t it strange that yourself and others are saying the same thing yet we must be all idiots because Orion is never wrong-When he last broached the subject i asked him to name any tracks that were closing apart from the ones owned by the cowboys the GRA and Stadia UK which he never did-i wonder why ?

Towcester racecourse opening this year-Coventry re-opened under Harry Findlay.Haven`t seen any Bookmaker owned tracks closing recently.It`s just the cowboy operators GRA and Stadia uk closing tracks.Yes the sport is facing difficult times but the independant owned tracks such as Yarmouth,Nottingham,Doncaster,Kinsley,Peterborough know how to promote the business and are doing ok-await your response.

Interesting interview with Gary Patchett on GP website. http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/2180/transfer-turmoil

I could well have mentioned this before-the first thing to do is to buy the Speedway star 128 page guide to the 2013 season which will be published at the end of March-which has the full polish fixtures.Sportowefakty have a section on all the domestic Polish competitions. Edit Youth league matches planned for Tues and Wed details here http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/329505/kalendarz-imprez-zuzlowych-w-2013-roku-inaguracja-sezonu-w-krosnie-opolu-i-rawic

I should imagine the Sunday is kept blank as the rain-off date.Last year for instance there were no Polish meetings on the 8th July -the day after the bydgoszcz SWC opener however there were meetings on the following Wednesday(11th) in Poland(youth league) and a meeting in Pardubice.

For anyone confused Wegiel = Lublin

Did you catch a train Gorzow to Kostryzn ? as it doesn`t look as if that`s possible any more as the last train is 21.08.

Not done trip before however on main German rail site www.bahn.de you can get trains listed for June 2013 eg on Sat 15th depart Berlin central station 13.08 Gorzow arr 15.52.Don`t know if you are planning to stay in Gorzow Sat night because it doesn`t look as if there are trains back after the meeting

2nd round postponed-waterlogged track.
