Fair point-but in my defence it was me who said it was Latvia where only 7 would qualify.

From me post 26

Thanks Paul-Wizzair fly to Zagreb but are not as cheap now as before so if i go will probably go Ryanair to Graz-was a bit worried about if hire cars could go to Slovenia/Croatia but just checked on Hertz website and its ok(for some extra cover)

I`ve been looking at flights etc -having never been to Gorican. thinking of flying Ryanair to Graz in Austria which is fairly near to Gorican(110km).Has anyone been to Gorican before and which route did you go ?

It says it on the Motala speedway website under the meeting details-meeting starts at 4pm(3pm uk time)

If no Brit qualifies by right in the top 8 its only 7 that qualify from Latvia with a British pick in the final.

Is the team manager your goodself ?

There is a thread on page 4 .If you were going to hire a car over there then i would suggest Ryanair to Stockholm-Skavsta,its about 3 hours lesurely drive to the track.

Very kind words-thank you. its not often these two teams tonight are featured and i`m personally looking forward to see how janusz kolodziej goes.

Rosspiggarna v indienarna is tonights live action it all gets underway at 6.10pm uk time http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport http://www.justin.tv/publicsportjtv/popout

Some really good races tonight i thought-superb sopcast hd quality picture. one move from Darcy Ward was pure class.

It doesn`t help when the live updates site (sportowefakty ) still list the match as planned on the main page and only says its off on the match/teams page.

Thanks If i could understand Polish i would have known that ! I will have to go to language lessons.

Started new thread for today.

The 2nd match of the day from the fantasic new stadium at Torun v Wroclaw is def on at 6.30pm uk time The first match at 4.30pm uk time is Czestochowa v Gorzow and cannot find that listed at present-should be two cracking matches today. http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport I dont think Wroclaw will be able to trouble Torun too much-apart from Crumpy,i`m going for 56-34.Also another chance to see Darcy Ward in action in Poland

2.30pm for 3 pm start

2.30pm

The tv match next tuesday is Rospiggarna v indianerna i`m sure there will be a stream from the normal providers.

Tonights match live on the net is Vargarna v leijonen start time is 6.10pm uk time http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport

Missed the first match only saw Gorzow v Zielona Gora on not a brilliant stream,but was dissapointed in the racing once again not to many passes.It seems from what i`ve seen recently Wroclaw,Gdansk and Gorzow are all tracks with very little passing.

Gates open 3pm entertainment starts 3.15pm

Looks like Martin Vaculik has had to pull out injured.

http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport 1st match at 3pm uk time is Bydgoszcz v Gdansk the home team are 2nd from bottom and will be looking for a home win to climb the table and with riders like Jonsson,Lindback and Sayfutdinov at reserve should be too good for a Gdansk team who were bottom before beating a very weak Czestochowa side a week ago to climb to 4th from bottom-Bjerre and Andersen will have to be on top form to run Bydgoszcz close.My prediction 51-39 2nd match at 5.30pm uk time is Gorzow v Zielona Gora 6th v 3rd. Gorzow should be doing better with riders of the calibre of Gollob,Zagar,Peter karlsson,Holta and TH Jonasson at reserve. Zielona Gora are always competitive with Freddie lindgren,NKI,Protasiewicz and Walasek. i predict 48-42

If you are coming from north of junc 38 m6 then i would say Tebay services, best in the country.
