racers and royals

7 Polish top flight matches scheduled for Friday`s in 2016 ( 1 per week )-a big increase on 2015

Nice Polish league ( div1) fixtures here http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/573796/znamy-terminarz-nice-polskiej-ligi-zuzlowej-na-inauguracje-hit-w-krakowie

I have been told by BT that their Speedway coverage is definitely on the sport 2 channel.

Has to be Pila as Opole along with Rawicz are the 2 rags of the league- plus Daugavpils are always competitive

And the MC have to approve any changes during the season-they would veto any early change that would make the league un-competitive.

All booked-Slovenia terrific country to visit. fly into Ljubljana on the Friday, leisurely drive down to Terme Catez. On the Sunday a visit to the Postojna caves on the way back to the airport.

Nice Polish league(div 1 ) fixtures will be announced next Tuesday 19th January.

Agree-and the poster on some of the GP threads has done plenty of driving abroad-also if driving Berlin would be an option for an airport for Zielona Gora.

Poznan airport is the nearest to Zielona Gora- buses leave from airport to Poznan regularly. trains from Poznan to ZG take about 1hr 50 mins.

I am assuming you wrote Ronnie but meant Terry ! - it certainly was a short lived experiment. I should imagine the promoters did agree to give it the go ahead but whether they were aware that anyone with just a small amount of money in an account could watch is conjecture. Maybe they thought that anyone betting on a particular race could watch that race.

In their naivety the promoters however did see the £ signs in the Go speed / betting industry contract in 2014.

Not officially being announced until tomorrow-but Rybnik will hold final SEC round on September 17th -according to Polish sources. Also an interesting interview on Sportowefakty with One sports Jan Konikiewicz regarding the SBPC speedway best pairs in which he states that they have been forced by the FIM to stop using national teams from 2016-hence the change to "sponsors " named teams such as Fogo and Nice http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/571992/runela-koncepcja-sbpc-wladze-fim-wymusily-zmiany

One minute you say it`s no-ones business apart from the 2 promotions what the figures are-and in the next breath say you would love to know how much/what the stumbling block is !!!!!!

I will do my best, however you will need to do a bit yourself. 1 check out where Ryanair and Wizzair fly to in Poland- and Easy jet fly to Krakow 2 the internet will tell you what airports are nearest to which towns 3 I find http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml best for train times in Europe. Certainly you have plenty of choice with Wroclaw riding in Poznan. Torun and Grudziadz not far from Bydgoszcz. Gorzow and Zielona Gora near each other in the west of the country. Leszno near Poznan/Wroclaw and Rybnik and Tarnow in the south.

because Dave Hemsley couldn`t find anyone to pay for it then

You are not going to be able do a lot of planning-we know the SEC last round is on September 17th in Poland-however the next day is play-offs final and 3rd/4th match1st legs-so could be anywhere.

In my view the time has come for some kind of Rider control in Poland- the Leszno top 5 for 2016 in Pedersen,Sayfutdinov ,kildemand, piotr pawlicki and Zengota is frankly ridiculously strong. yes they have the minimum number of Polish riders quota and the U21 Polish reserves-but I think the time has come for a points limit for the top 5. We might see a reduction in the quality of the teams overall-but if the points limit was set right cost savings could happen.

starts at 7.30pm local-they are 11 hours ahead of us -so 8.30 am

Just been looking at flights,hotels etc -although I would hire a car in Poland. I would need to be home on Monday morning so Ryanair Stansted to Wroclaw-out Friday morning back Monday morning would work with taking the Rybnik match on the Sunday (long drive from Grudziadz to Rybnik on Sunday however ! ) Contracts not changed as far as I know - so N sport+ are showing. TVP have agreed to cover the new div 1 - I only watch on streams so hopefully no clampdown on them !!

Obviously not nor are they before the SEC rounds or GP qualification or u21 comps-in other words about the only 7 free Friday`s of the season

Actually 3 days for 1st 2 rounds-Friday,Saturday and Sunday- great for us TV/stream viewers, all the matches shown(4) in each round. Happy days !!!!

Yes
