Jan Kvech is replacing Vaculik in the meeting.

Another news item from the Extraleague- Google translated Changes in the training process at PGE Ekstraliga will include a modern approach to attracting young foreign players. The annual camp is to be an "exhibition window" for speedway riders who do not always have the opportunity to show themselves on Polish tracks. Ekstraliga Żużlowa has a TV contract and money spending strategy that has been presented to the clubs. Scouting is a novelty that can be organized slightly differently. The aim of organizing the camp will be to attract to Poland talented young foreign players who, due to the cost barrier, would not be able to present themselves to the training staffs of PGE Ekstraliga clubs. In cooperation with foreign federations, PGE Ekstraliga wants to regularly organize this type of event, at least once a year. - The arrival of a young speedway rider to Poland from Australia, New Zealand or the United States, for example during the holiday season, when this type of adept does not have professional equipment and sponsors, but has a willingness to show his skills, can be a life chance for him - says Wojciech Stępniewski , president of PGE Ekstraliga. - I believe that in many Polish centers there is no courage to bet on young players, and direct contact with them, the opportunity to look at real skills always increases the chances of catching talented youth, who actually only in Poland has a chance to make a career in speedway sport - adds Wojciech Stępniewski. Representatives of all PGE Ekstraliga clubs will be invited to the camp and will have the opportunity to contract players. It is also worth emphasizing that the newly acquired player will be able to play in the U24 Ekstraliga competition in the same season. Clubs will be able to contract players in a specific order, taking into account the league's average pole point for youth players and U24 in a given club. A system will be created - like a draft, and the club whose players achieve the lowest average will be the first to contract.

News item from the Extraleague- google translated PLN 20 million a year will be spent by PGE Ekstraliga clubs on training and the reserve team. This is the strategy of the company managing the games for the next 4 years. Before making a final decision, clubs have time to comment. Where does the money for training come from? A new TV contract will provide them. Development for the speedway sport and new opportunities for the discipline can only be provided by young players. From the 2022 season, the clubs in PGE Ekstraliga will have to submit their reserve team to a separate competition. There is already the name of the new competition. It's U24 Ekstraliga. The matches of the second teams will be played on extra-league tracks, they will be governed by separate competition regulations and, most importantly, the age limit for participating players, which will be 24 years. In the U24 Ekstraliga competition, the so-called guests. Let us remind you that there was a lot of speculation about the reserve teams in PGE Ekstraliga. The media reported that the teams would compete in the second league, but ultimately each club in PGE Ekstraliga will have a separate team, and during the season the club's staff will have to include at least 8 players up to 24 years of age, including at least 4 national youth players. Players who have reached the age of 15 will be able to submit their entries to the second team and will be able to take part in the matches. Restrictions will be introduced to ensure the training aspect of the competition and an appropriate starting policy for competitors with lower levels of sport. The U24 Ekstraliga will not be allowed to run by players who in the previous season in PGE Ekstraliga had an average point-to-point average of 1,500 or more. Players will be able to be reported simultaneously to the first and second teams, and if contracts with new players are signed during the season, the PGE Ekstraliga club will be obliged to send the current list of the first and second teams to the Licensing Commission within three days from the confirmation of the player. The staff of the PGE Ekstraliga club after each change (a player coming or leaving) must meet the requirements for the number of players in the second team. U24 Ekstraliga will be played according to the rates of the PGE Ekstraliga financial regulations. The day of the week which will be the match day has not been determined yet, but it is already known that players will not be able to take part in the first and second team league matches on the same day.

My best advice is to wait until Eurosport events sort the TV contracts.

Current table 1 Vojens P 6 pts 11 2 Slangerup P 7 pts 10.75 3 Grindsted P 7 pts 10 4 Fjelsted P 7 pts 9 5 Holsted P 7 pts 8.75 6 Region Varde P 6 pts 6.5 7 Brovst P 7 pts 2 8 Esbjerg P 7 pts 0.5 We know that Vojens hosts the final with Slangerup also in the final Grindsted host the semi and Fjelsted, Holsted and Region Varde make up the 4 teams.

Pedersen rides on Sunday !!!

Me and the metal league have the same table. Just for clarification the final is a straight shootout for the title- no additional points carried forward into it as they have done previously.

Really interesting evening ahead in Denmark for the final regular season round 7 Current table 1 Vojens P 6 pts 11 2 Fjelsted P 6 pts 9 3 Slangerup P 6 pts 8.75 4 Holsted P 6 pts 8.75 5 Grindsted P 6 pts 8 6 Region Varde P 6 pts 6.5 7 Esbjerg P 6 pts 0.5 8 Brovst P 6 pts 0 The team finishing top hosts the 4 team league final and that 99.99% will be Vojens. The team finishing 2nd also gets straight through to the final. The team finishing 3rd hosts the semi against 4th,5th and 6th with the top 2 into the final. Tonight's other fixtures. Grindsted v Holsted Vojens v Region Varde Brovst v Esbjerg

that`s true Logachev has replaced him

Neither as far as i`m aware. I wouldn`t be surprised to see Vaculik ride as he looked ok in his latest facebook post.

Go back a page to my August 4th post- sadly it might be geo blocked outside Slovakia. We shall have to wait and see on Saturday, however we(Stewmac) and i are working on an alternative link.

In that scenario i would imagine if they couldn`t be split using bonus points it would be the season + and - used.

Belle Vue v Kings Lynn next Monday has been pulled from the schedule and will not be shown. One might have thought that Peterborough v Wolves the same night would be the ideal match to replace it with but NO !!!!

Doesn`t look as if Premier Sport can be bothered to show Thursday`s Dackarna v Rospiggarna match.
