1st of the Polish national team`s test matches has been announced and they will meet Australia in Torun with a start time of 2pm local(1pm UK time). The teams will be at full strength( apart from those Polish riders on a ban from the national team). I think this is the last match under the current contract held by TVP for live TV coverage.

Sold out 55000 all gone !!!

Stewmac will know more but 2 main stand cost £56 each- which is extremely pricey for Poland.

Wait until you see the prices !!!! the Poles will not be happy !!!

Wouldn`t have thought it will take them long to get used to the track at Poole- from what i have seen of Aussie speedway tracks, most are as cr&p as Poole`s

It`s been announced that N Sport and the PZM have decided on the fixed start time for the televised Nice Polska league matches- the Saturday matches will start at 3.30pm UK time and Sunday`s 1.15pm UK time

If the other events are in the exhibition hall that is a lot nearer the parking area than the Speedway track is. Also buggy transport might be provided by the other event organisers.

Must think we are all complete mugs !!!!!!

That’s a surprise- i would have thought he would have rather met Newcastle with probably double the cost of meeting them rather than Poole which would be probably double the attendance !!!

Seems pretty obvious to me- someone cocked up on writing down the names after the original draw and as soon as they realised they corrected it( under 2 months isn`t bad)

Some news out of Australia Jaimon Lidsey won the Aussie U 21 championship on Saturday at Undera- 2nd Zach Cook 3rd Jedd List 4th Matthew Gilmore Kurri Kurri speedway has been sold to a consortium of local warehousing and commercial businessmen - the future of the track could be bleak.

Fair enough- you stick with Harris, King , Wright etc and i will stick with Poland

Just imagine if BT got the Extraleague how they could advertise it against the Eurosport Premiership coverage- Watch top Brit Tai Woffinden and the other 14 GP riders battle it out in the best league in the world.( or watch Eurosport Premiership with 1 GP rider)

Interesting- obviously could be GB and Europe but not Poland. I still think BT after losing the Premiership should have tried their hardest to get a contract to show the Extraleague.

When you asked the question the 1st time on the Warsaw GP thread, i answered it with the following There is nothing on the Thursday and Friday apart from the GP qualifying on the Friday evening. Sunday is a reserve date for called off Extraleague, Nice Polska league and Div 2 matches earlier in the season. There could also be a Polish test match on the Sunday- venue and opponents TBA.

Legally probably not, however you wouldn`t need a motorised dish. I suggest you google Polish Television providers in your area, and they i`m sure would fit a dish with decoder, viewing cards etc to watch N Sport and Eleven Sport. I last season took out a 6 month subscripition with Goldvod(around £28) which enabled me to watch all the Polish meetings on my laptop, and apart from a couple of small hiccups i found it reliable and well worth the money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dSOf-x_x-Q

Zengota might fancy it- as he should be back riding after a year out injured.

Found this from 2012 thread oldace replied to Cockney Rebel's topic in Speedway News and Discussions The last I heard Tony Ganley AKASoldierBoy was living in Ireland so I doubt he sees much speedway these days

Thanks Neil- that should please the punters !!

To save me trawling through the fixtures- Have Peterborough got a more balanced home fixture list this coming season ?

Not on the Extraleague - they still have the 2 Friday matches with Polsat losing the Speedway altogether.

50/50

Last season Eleven Sport had the 2 Friday Extraleague and on most Saturday`s a Nice Polska. Polsat Sport had the early Sunday afternoon Nice Polska followed by N Sports 2 extraleague matches.

Are you going to buy a "Speedway star "

Which we did last season as well
