The track is still the same, but not the management which caused the club enormous debts. The riders contracted for 2017 season were such that you most likely never heard of. So Bydgoszcz is now in a place they have been inevitably going for the last few years. Former management's years of neglect, waste and lack of a rational idea how to run a club resulted with degredation to the Polish lowest division. For the last two seasons the club has been in hands of Mr Wladyslaw Gollob, father of the Gollob brothers, Tomasz and Jacek, who said two years ago that his priority is getting rid of debts. The answer to your question : what the hecks happened to Bydgoszcz in the simplest way is that Bydgoszcz had a team made up of riders that were not good enough even for the 2nd division. Why they contrated such riders? Because of their financial situation. When Wladyslaw Gollob, father of the Gollob brothers, Tomasz and Jacek, took over the club it had debts in a range of 1 milion Pound Sterling. After two years of Gollob snr rule the debt has been reduced to about 300K, but the club is in the lowest division. Wladyslaw Gollob does not treat degradation to the lowest league as a personal failure. "If I was sitting on a motorbike and had to deliver the points, then one could say so. The club’s financial capacity is miserable to say the least But at least the club was paying riders on time - he said. What's happens next? Who knows. Everything has to be started from the beginning.

Steve Shovlar gives impression that he knows averything about speedway. Perhaps he does know about speedway run by BSPA...but clearly he does not know FIM rules. In meetings run under FIM the referee - I'm told - is obliged to stop the race if any of four rider crosses the inside line with both wheels, and that what's happened with Janowski. So if anything stinks here it was not the referee.

I agree...he obviously does know more about what British speedway needs than the BSPA... but - he is not the BSPA! One man against those who THINK they know better.

what counts in speedway is an individual title, anythingbelse is the second best

Apparently, Polsat TV (open channel), is covering this as well. So anyone having access to satellite TV should be able to find Polsat TV

If I were you then in futue I would be more specific and call a spade a spade. We Poles, and I for one, became very sensitive and irate since the people in the West are saying "Polish death camps", etc., whereas in truth the camps were built and operated by Germans (Nazis) although - granted - on invaded and occupied Polish soil. But this does not make them "Polish". Anyway...thanks for responding and explaining your way of thinking.

Krystian Plech is NOT a rider,,, and never was. His father (Zenon) was...but Krystian? never. He runs Speedway Crime Agency. speedwaystarmag BREAKING | @RyeHouseFans sign former world No.2 Krzysztof Kasprzak as a reserve following his release by Poole.

Trees, would you care to expand on this ? I'm Polish and i'm not getting it... or perhps (in your opinion) because I'm Polish I'm not getting it.

Zenon Plech commenting yesterdays Polish Final: "It’s a good thing that the young rider like Szymon Wozniak won the prestigeous Polish title and showed the likes of Zmarzlik Janowski and Pawlicki that he can be as good as them, if not better. This is a proof that Polish speedway does not revolve around few names, but has a solid base and riders who can swap places with the elite"

Tuchola rulesss !...well deserved...congratulations!!!

Zmarzlik is overdoing it a bit...and should be off for the re-run

You're wrong again...check Poznan University graduates list...it is you who abandoned your own country to wash someone else dishes...EOT

Whoever you are...leave off... and don't bring our country into disrepute

As far as I know Cookie signed for Bydgoszcz this season shortly before he won the British title, but as yet had no opportunity to ride for them. I think he will do so in an away fixture with Rzeszow. Over to you Pawel.

Having SGP not many people pay much attention to SEC...if you want see crowds on speedway meeting watch EkstraLiga

Just wondering if we can start looking forward to seeing a Torun v Bydgoszcz derby in 2018? They are almost as "exciting" as the Stal v Mickey Mouse derbys. It's very unlikely that you will see Toun v Bydgoszcz "derby" in 2018. Bydgoszcz is as much struggling in the Nice League as is Torun in the Extra League. It looks as though Bydgoszcz will be relegated to the 3rd, lowest, division, although recently they signed British champion Craig Cook to help them out. Whether that will enough we have wait and see.

Lindgren.. lead has been changing eight times ...incredible race...best of the season.

One of the best GP...so far.

Apparanetly, the reason for moving event from Swindon to other track is Swindon's failure to FIM's requirements

Earlier today, Tuesday, a junior tournament was held on a perfectly prepared track of Warsaw's National Stadium the venue of this Saturday round of the SGP 2017. It was won by the Leszno pair of Bartosz Smektala and Dominik Kubera. Marek Cieslak, Poland national coach spoke in the superlatives about the track. The track is great and on Saturday we'll have a fantastic event. The surface is perfectly laid out, "he said on sportowefakty.pl Dominik Kubera loved it. It's short and technical I liked it so much that I thought I could go to England someday, because there are so many similar tracks there, "he said after today's testing the National's surface.

It's bribery you say...well, everey coin has two sides. It's up to you (or anyone else) which one you ( or anyone else) prefer.

So was I... Also wondering what kept him from being active on the International section. Going through some different section today I came across this most sad news of him passing away. I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Alan's wife - Karen, and his family. I know that he also loved and followed Polish speedway and was always courteous and well humoured. Rest In Peace, Alan.

They always have their choice...no one makes them do that they don't want...it's up to them who they sign for...but if they do, they need to observe conditions set up in their agreement (with any club). It is as simple as that.
