Delighted to be booked up ready to attend the first round match between Leszno and Wroclaw on Sunday 7th April. Now, once the fixtures for Nice 1 and Division 2 are released, I might be able to squeeze in a second match too.

Well done. Yeah, they made around 1000 new tickets available tonight for standing only, but they are selling pretty well already. Still likely to sell out in the next few days I'd imagine.

As soon as I bought mine I was able to print them off. Are you not able to do that? There are now only 100 left...

As at 8.35am this morning, only around 800 tickets left to sell before it's a complete sell out...

Yes, got my 4 tickets safely at 1.01pm and had them printed at 1.02pm. Very much looking forward to it. £18 for the tickets right opposite the starting gate. I can see this will sell out very quickly.

80zl for an adult on back straight. Although I've been registered for a couple of years on the site, at the moment it only allows me to buy a season ticket, not a GP one. Is this what other folk have found too?

Ostrów, Rawicz and Rybnik, as well as Opole are not too far away. All between 1-2 hours. Personally, I'll be delighted if Rybnik are at home, their stadium will be full and it's a great atmosphere there.

Exactly. I was pinning my hopes on Leszno being at home on the Sunday. Very disappointed. Hopefully there will be a good match at Opole, Ostrów or Rybnik.

Cheers R&R! I'm hoping there will be a home fixture for Leszno on Sunday 4th August, the day after the Wroclaw GP....

Can anyone (R&R perhaps) shed any light on when the 2019 fixtures list is due to be published? It's usually before Christmas I think...

I already have hotel and flights booked so would be pretty upset if tickets weren't available.

Six man teams and 36 point limit by any chance?

Grigory Laguta can be added to that as he will return at the beginning of May.

No matter how this match finally pans out, you have to give credit to Rybnik who are certainly making a fight of it. Very entertaining so far.

Looks like they did tonight. Well done to the Comets.

Cheers

Thanks R&R Usually I simply watch on my Polish satellite system on TV but tonight I will be away from home and am going to be on my phone. Are these links safe in your opinion and which might be the best to use? Many thanks !

After 4 heats, more than half of Rybnik's advantage is gone! They have their work cut out here to hang on....

If Rybnik's reserve, Giera, is out injured, can the other reserve, Chmiel, take his rides?

I can't see it continuing to be honest. There is far, far too much dirt on that track.

I can't for the life of me understand why this place still gets a GP. It's awful, even when it's dry. This is pathetic.

Tomorrow's Extraliga final at Leszno is off, due to the very poor forecast. Rescheduled for next Saturday, the 29th, at 7.15pm Polish time, with a reserve date of Sunday 30th at the same time. https://m.sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/778573/wielki-final-pge-ekstraligi-w-lesznie-przelozony-znamy-nowy-termin-meczu

Superb heat 13!

I'm like you, I go to watch racing and not processions. But I disagree re the track in the first 10 heats. Bandits wanted to race, Monarchs seemed less keen to. We saw a sublime pass by Jakobsen on Wells in heat 6 which proved it was perfectly raceable for those who wished to race. The reasons the heats before were one sided was due to the pathetic gating of the home team. I would say last night's track was definitely more raceable than last Friday's.

Full credit to the Bandits who were prepared to attack the track from the start. It was much slicker than the past few weeks and this seemed to catch out the home side completely. Despite it being very wet initially, we had two very good races, heat 6 when Jacobsen performed a sublime outside pass on Wells to streak away to win, and heat 13 was quite superb, with the same 2 riders passing and repassing. That was two more good races than we had a week ago. It's funny to think that last week on a super grippy track, Arena were accused of not trying, yet tonight on a slick trick, it was the track to blame rather than the Monarchs riders. Put simply, one team wanted the win much more than the other.
