racers and royals

Torun v Zielona Gora and Gdansk v Leszno are now on Sunday 17th May.does anyone know if either is being televised ?

SVEMO(swedish authorities)prepared the track that year.If the local track people are given the job of preparing the racetracks on the permanent tracks,why do they prepare them far slicker than for other meetings at those tracks ?

Regards Ole Olsen his full title is FIM race director SGP and SWC.He might also be employed by BSI/IMG to build the temporary tracks at Copenhagen and Cardiff.I think its time several points are clarified by the authorities 1 Who is ultimately responsible for track conditions at every GP(does this vary from temporary tracks to permanent ones) 2 depending on the previous answer what input do BSI have on track prep. 3 what input does the FIM jury president(the meeting is under his control)have on track conditions. 4 Do the riders have any input into track conditions either pre-season or before each GP. If we could get the answers to these questions we all might have a better understanding of how things operate at GP level.

I was also there and whilst we knew it wasnt the best GP it also wasnt the worst-the atmosphere created by the Polish fans(must have been 98% Poles)was terrific and certainly helped make up the entertainment package.

Correct person to contact is Head of Motorsports-Rob Armstrong at rob.armstrong@imgworld.com I would like to think that no one would send anything abusive.

I think we will be in luck-Nigel Pearson should be available from gothenburg onwards until the premier league football starts again.

I`m sure that was you in Prague wasn`t it ?

Yes

Weather forecast seems reasonable -so roll on the weekend !

Brand new stadium built espically for speedway,from what i could see from the tv great viewing from any seat,and finally typical big polish track with plenty of passing and great racing-i`m sure someone will post pictures so you can see for yourself.

I make sure I'm there earlier next time, so I won't miss any racing. Theres two matches televised every round starting at 3pm and 5.30pm our time matches being shown are listed in an earlier thread-ref first7 extraleague rounds.

Just finished watching the first match from the new Torun stadium-what a magnificent venue for speedway.surely one day soon will be hosting GP`s and world cups.

Slovenia and Germany qualify from Italy round both finished on 51 pts Zagar won the race-off.

Myself and friends are going to the Wroclaw v Torun match.Can anyone tell me if their is a supporters club at the olympic stadium where they might be showing the 2nd televised match Gorzow v czestochowa 18.30 start-so that we can stay on at the stadium have a few drinks and watch the match on tv. any help would be appriecated.

Doing same itinery,staying in Wroclaw and seeing Wroclaw v Torun on the Sunday.

He is ,every GP apart from Cardiff commentators are in the studios in London.

Qualifiers are held in other countries-Poland held theirs last week,Holta failed to qualify for the next stage.

No fixtures tommorrow but http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport always have it on or justin tv go into sport then search polish speedway and the host should come up-matches at 3pm and 5.30 pm.

If you dont pay you have to watch it live 2 matches on Sundays at 3pm and 5.30 pm

Just been checking train departures times for Cardiff GP day-i am assuming meeting will be over by 8.30 and it is possible to get to London,Birmingham and Poole for example. Cardiff dep 21.00 paddington arr 00.33 (change at Bristol also serves Swindon and Reading) Cardiff dep 20.50 Birm arr 22.52 Cardiff dep 20.25 Poole arr 00.30 (change southampton ) hope above might help if anyone unsure whether to go by car or train.

i have this season just started watching the televised extraleague matches and the racing is out of the top drawer.Czestochowa v Leszno last week and Leszno v Zielona Gora yesterday were brilliant matches.The TV company do a good job as well-its a good way to spend Sunday afternoon/Sunday evening all courtesy of justin.tv i`m off to watch Wroclaw v Torun the day after the Leszno GP hopefully that will be as good as the other matches.

The Ryanair flight to Prague on Saturday morning coming back Sunday morning is available for £37 return base price-if one has a visa electron card and hand luggage and book in on line that is all one pays-great value price.
