racers and royals

No offence taken-but this thread is about who`s going,some of us have a lot further to travel than you !

Iwill be on the Ryanair flight on sat am from Stanstead.Anyone else off to Sweden ? lets hope the Swedish track staff completely ignore Ole Olsen ! !

Shame last heat decider ended in drawn match 48-48

I think were out of luck tonite,the polish site i use lists the match but no streams available

Good home win for Gdansk over Leszno today-they certainly needed it !

I think i would have given him one more-as he said in his interview "why bring me all this way to give me one ride "

Another quality 2 hrs of speedway along with a brilliant sopcast picture.Torun won 52-38 for the home team Miedzinski was flying closely followed by Holder and Sullivan.Niels K Iversen was well annoyed to only be given one ride(last) by the Zielona Gora manager.

Yes def on tv and the internet start time 3pm our time.

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.

QUOTE (Robbie B @ May 4 2009, 12:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Many thanks once again Racers and Royals. Is there any Swedish league speedway available on the Internet? pretty sure answer is no.they do televise a match a week but no one has ever posted a link.

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.

QUOTE (Robbie B @ May 3 2009, 10:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What time did the meeting start ? I was watching on justin.tv but missed the start of the meeting Racing started at about 5.45pm our time.

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.
