racers and royals

the countdown to the 2012 extraleague season is well on its way with TVP naming the 1st two weeks TV matches Easter monday kicks it off(april 9th)with 3pm (uk time) Bydgoszcz v Zielona gora followed at 5.30pm(uk time) by Gorzow v Torun. Then on to Sunday 15th April a 1.45pm(uk time) start time for Wroclaw v Gorzow followed at 4.05 (uk time) Zielona Gora v Tarnow.

For the last couple of years i have printed my ticket off at home which has worked ok-pretty sure how to print ticket off is clearly explained when order has gone through.-ticket bought from http://www.ticketstr...rame.jsp?thread=(scroll down until sport section appears)

Any news on the track alterations ?

New Zealand is Gmt + 13 hours therefore at my post time its just after 9.30 am Monday morning

I see in todays Speedway star that the ever popular Mr Bowden has appointed a personal assistant( jenny Taylor ) which i assume will help him ease his workload at the boniface Arena.

I would also add Gothenburg as well worth a visit with the canal and harbour boat trips along with the liesberg theme park-i am also convinced that if it doesn`t rain the meeting will be superb ! Also flights are pretty cheap now that Easyjet fly from Gatwick and Ryanair from stansted.

Daine Stevens looks to be a talent as well.

Thanks have changed top line

Wesołych świąt i szczęśliwego Nowego Roku

Gelukkige Kerstmis

You`re thinking of those Swedish forests again !!

Happy christmas to my international "brother "have a great christmas in wet Pennsylvania(well it always seems to be raining when you post !)

With the problems over the last few years of riders having to pull out of championship events in Russia due to visa and entry permit problems i wonder if the FIM have learnt anything !!. In 2012 Balakovo host 2 meetings of note-firstly on June 2nd they host one of the 2 semi-finals of the u21 championship-only 14 days after 4 of the 5 qualifiers. Secondly on june 30th Balakovo stages one of the 3 semi-finals of the GP challenge,once again only 14 days after 4 of the 5 qualifiers. So how are the riders going to get everything sorted in 14 days ? or are these meetings going to be for "eastern european riders only" ? Maybe Phil Rising could ask the FIM a few questions ?

Sportowefakty are reporting that TVP will once again show the extraleague in 2012-however things might change in 2013. http://translate.google.co.uk/?hl=en&tab=wT#

But that was tnt !!!

Sportowefakty are saying 6.50 http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/2011/12/11/sklady-druzyn-ekstraliga-2012/

That personality transplant must have worked.

Grudziaz and Gniezno are in div 1

Not strictly 2012 but Tarnow have now paid what they owed Ulamek and Kasprzak

Holta joins Zielona Gora top 3 of him,AJ and Pepe

Could be something to do with patreality(not spelt right) where he might be able to come in on a 3

Is there anywhere left for Ryan Sullivan to go ? I am really surprised he`s not fixed up with a place

Gollob back with Hammerby

However will there be anyone at the race-off ? recently i believe the host country have been been in it
