Pleased to see Lublin look like they are going to run this season as my contact there had suggested there wasn't going to be any league team there this season. Shame they have lost the likes of Pavlic though and I fear another season of struggle (but hopefully with a lot less injuries). Rico

Saw him ride last season for Zielona Gora in Ostrow and he was actually quite good, battling from the back in at least one race which shocked me. Don't think he'll do much in Ekstraliga though. Rico

I'd say "Get a room" but looks like you might need 1 on your travels Rico

You've both been sorely missed. Looking forward to catching up with you around the Rynek for a piwo or 3. Rico

Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam. Personally, I'd delete all your posts, but that's up to the mods. Rico

Glad to see I am not alone in thinking that, TwoMinuteWarning. Rico

Usual Pod Orlem in Bydgoszcz for myself, HenryW and our hopalong friend. Rico

OMG It gets worse. Have the Polish authorities lost the plot over the winter ? Not impressed with any of the changes mooted so far, other than perhaps the reduction to 7 rider teams. Rico

Steve, I wouldn't be so sure. I reckon it will suit the Aussies quite well, with it being Adams home track and he'll get good backing from Crump. Wait and you will see Rob, Given they get around 10,000 for a run of the mill league match I can see there being a good crowd if they get the ticket pricing right. Sadly for the last SWC in Poland they didn't. Rico

You are kidding Steve. Leszno, is a fantastic track, great viewing. Could be an absolute classic. The city will struggle to cope with the influx of visitors but you won't have to worry about that if you aint going will you (I aint going either). Assuming they have renovated the stadium as suggested it will be a million miles from this years venue for the SWC. Rico

Assuming you are heading down to Czecho Tommy, I hope you have as good a time as you did last year. Look forward to hearing your tales upon your return. Rico

Something about a sandwich short of a picnic. Hope all goes well Tom and we see you back on 2 feet sooner rather than later. Rico

15:00 - 17:00 hrs - practice is normally open to public. Mateusz - are they having a pre-GP 'party' in the sports hall after practice ? I don't think I'll bother with it this year, but if it's on I am sure there will be some who might want to go along. Rico

I'd imagine they will be telling you the location of the ticket collection place and the hours they are open. Safe to say that you should be able to collect them either at practice or on GP day, up to 5pm. As for location, there have been a couple of different places in the past. So best to ask when you get there. Unless of course, anyone else has been able to open the attachment - they'll be able to confirm. As an aside, I see from the club website that tickets for the Grandstand and Sektor A are all sold out. Another total sell-out beckons in Bydgoszcz. Rico

Try emailing the club speedway@btzpolonia.pl and ask them to reserve you a ticket for collection. Rico

You do know hot to cheer up a fearful flyer don't you ! Looking on the bright side, that's one less drink I've got to buy. Rico

Colours were changed before the SWC Hazzman. Keep up to date lad Rico

Oh, the japes people get up to. Rico

Not sure B52 Rico

Ped, Depends how much you want to dazzle the local foxes (and do I mean FOXES) on the Saturday night in Chestefields. It's pretty much wear what you want though - no problems in getting in with jeans and trainers, but equally get as dressed up as you wish. Rico

I really hope you somehow manage to get along Tommy. After the fun we had last year ................ If you compare myself and HenryW to Gollob, then perhaps TheDoctor could be compared to Pepe. Pops up every now and then when sponsorship allows and generally makes a fool of himself Just kidding Doc. Rico

Really sorry to hear you aint coming with us ML - I know how much you were looking forward to seeing Tomek on HIS track. Fingers crossed the great man rides again next year and you make it along. I can promise you I'll have a piwo or two in your honour. Rico
