racers and royals

Because they needed 7 teams !!!!

Lovely sunny warm day in Gniezno.

From a previous post- now amended to include a fixture change.

Don`t forget it`s not on TV in Sweden- the only way they can watch is taking out the ESS subscription- which again i recommend.

Sabmar TV are busy this week with 3 days on the trot- the programme for this pairs meeting(decent field) starts at 3.40pm UK time

I have just heard from Sweden that all the MCP matches will be on Thursday’s therefore all the TV matches will be Thursday’s. 1st match will be Dackarna v Smederna. It`s an interesting decision by the Swedes because as i previously have said there are several fixture clashes on Thursday`s with GB fixtures- so although Sweden do have squads they won`t be fielding their strongest teams in some TV matches !!!

Just to clarify what i know(or think i know) 1 match per week is a multi camera production and that is the match which is sold to Premier/Freesports and Poland the other 4 matches are single camera and are only available to the ESS subscribers. At the moment i cannot find out which match is chosen for the MCP for week 1 - i am assuming it will probably be a Tuesday match but that is only me surmising that.

New date for Wroclaw v Torun is Sunday May 19th(day after Warsaw GP) start time 20.15 local

All those wanting to see Speedway on the Sunday 19th May have a match Wroclaw v Torun which was postponed yesterday starts at 20.15pm local- i suppose the alternative is find a sports bar in Warsaw and watch it while having a few Tyskie`s !!!!
