I would like to add my thanks to phil for his answers.i can only echo the thoughts of many that the GP`s are the pinnacle of this great sport,and its frustrating to a lot of us that the racing has gone downhill over recent years.I would say that when one is actually at the track it always seems a better meeting than for the people watching it on tv at home. My own gripe is that there is never any bite (grip) on the tracks-if only there was more dirt riders would be able to use the outside more. one point that has been made before is the damage practice does to the track-obviously the rules have changed(offically or maybe un-offically)about riders having to be at practice eg Scott Nicholls.If there was more money in the sport, instead of practice the day before they could have test days,weeks before the GP(obviously couldn`t be done at Copenhagen and Cardiff) As regards Gothenburg Phil i was there getting covered in dust on the first bend from heat one onwards and i arrived at my seat very early and i certainly didnt see continual watering-they only came out twice in 2 hrs and during the meeting they didnt put any water on the inside third of the track Didn`t they have problems at practice after watering ?

Couldn`t send e`mail to Torun came back to much spam was the reason given.Just phoned the club and spoke to someone who spoke english and she said its far to early, tickets not on sale yet phone back ONE WEEK before meeting.I can see this being a real problem in getting tickets. do any of our Polish friends know if this is the norm-its bound to be a sell out yesterday`s match was.

dates are now sorted for remaining matches 3rd place play-off Sept 27th Bydgoszcz v Czestochowa Oct 4th Czestochowa v bydgoszcz Final Oct11th Zielona Gora v torun oct18th Torun v Zielona Gora

this match scheduled for sunday 13th September has been postponed and is now on next Sunday 20th at 17.00hrs it was postponed because of rain.

The 3 riders who finished on 7 had identical scores-Bjerre did not have more last places.

Do they have ticket touts in Poland ?

I think so because Torun had higher finishing position in regular season-now the scramble to get 4 tickets for my party will start.

Maybe Phil Rising could comment on certain aspects of the GP`s. 1 Are BSI/IMG happy with the standard of entertainment ie racing this season being served up to the people attending and those watching on tv ? 2 Does the FIM jury member report back to the FIM on the racing,fairness of gates etc ?

Should be 2 very tense matches played to full houses. 1st up at 3pm uk time is Zielona Gora v Bydgoszcz. Can the home team pull back a 12pt defecit from the 1st leg ? Some team news Sportowefakty are reporting that Protasiewicz is going to take a late fitness test to see if he can ride for the home team. 2nd match at 5pm uk time is Torun v Czestochowa.Will the home fans at the superb new stadium,see Torun overcome just a 2pt defecit from the 1st leg ? http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport

No as he had won it for the last 2 years he decided to concentrate on the GP`s

Not an ideal draw for Crumpy at no1, comes out every 4 heats after the track has been watered-could make it interesting.

More information now available about this meeting start time is 15.00 hrs and tickets cost between £10- £15.programme is £2.50. i am really looking forward to this meeting-lots of the field in with a chance.i suppose Pavlic must be the favourite,but one cannot rule out woffinden,bridger, TH Jonasson,Hougaard,Klindt,Ward,and the poles Zengota,Pawlicki and Janowski.

Vastervik v Vargarna i suppose,they have quite a defecit to pull back but if Gollob is back i just feel this could turn out to be the most exciting.

Canal plus website says that the televised match for the 2nd leg is Lejonen v Dackarna.it should be a good match but is it the best choice given the results from the first legs ?

The live match being shown by canal + is Indianerna v Elit Vetlanda and starts at 6.10pm uk time. At the moment there is no stream listed-hopefully come tuesday evening that will change. http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport

Dissapeared off the speedway GP website now-very mysterious !

5 down ? ? to go 8th May Gothenburg 22nd may Prague 19th June Torun 5th June Copenhagen 10th July Cardiff

Prague date now confirmed 22nd May 2010. On the speedway GP website it lists ticket prices as 300 Czech koruna as dearest price which is only £10 which i cant believe is correct.

1st up at 3pm uk time is Czestochowa v torun 2nd up at 5pm uk time is Bydgoszcz v Zielona Gora Team line ups from www.sportowefakty.pl http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport CZESTOCHOWA M Szczepaniak N Pedersen T Gapinski L Richardson G Hancock B Miturski T Woffinden TORUN L Przedpekski K Pulczynski R Sullivan R Kosciecha A Miedzinski E Pulczynski D Ward Where is Chris Holder ? ?

Thanks for that info-i wasnt sure that a team could choose home or away 1st.What you say is different from what the Speedway Star printed in there season preview iddition(not saying star is right ) but they said that play-off 1st round would result in table A consisting of winning teams and table B losing teams.These are classified according to match points scored in play-off 1st round.and in case of tie on match points(Torun and Czestochowa)race points will decide and if that didnt decide then finishing position in regular season would decide.something in the rules must have changed.

The play-off 1st round scoring meant that Zielona Gora finished top and therefore meet the best losers- Bydgoszcz. Czestochowa were 2nd meet Torun who were 3rd.I assume Czestochowa chose to be at home first.
