Still, probably not as ridiculous as Tomasz Gollob first.

No 304 = Phil White No 318 = Phil Collins No 319 = Neil Collins No 320 = Peter Collins

The nearest airport will be Katowice.

You forgot HenryW and Rico.

Wouldn't that be expensive. BSI aren't going to get 40,000 to the final, nevermind the race-off. A non-starter.

Young tommy posted the following on another thread: As far as I can gather, the speedway will be shown live on Sunday and Monday. It seems that Polsat are merely extending their coverage of the sport in Poland.

Well, it has a roof over the spectators, but not, I think, a sliding roof a la Cardiff. However, the old Wembley was owned by Wembley plc, whereas the new Wembley is owned by the speedway-loving FA.

I am saddened by this news. My best wishes to Rafal and the rest of the Okoniewski family.

Has Bydgoszcz been taken off the calendar?

Many would disagree. There's another 20 years left in the Gollob tank.

1..T Gollob (I live in hope) 2..J Crump 3..T Rickardsson 4..J Hampel 5..N Pedersen 6..L Adams 7..A Jonsson 8..G Hancock 9..B Pedersen 10..M Zagar 11..S Nicholls 12..L Richardson 13..P Protasiewicz 14..A Lindback 15..N-K Iversen

Most Polish fixtures are run on Sunday in the late afternoon.

Borrow a couple of sets of kevlars and a couple of bikes and you could even be part of the Wanda legend.

Crump's website could, of course, be wrong.

In saying that - and hoping that tommy and ZKZ Kitten will forgive me - there wasn't really a competitive 8th team in the league last year. Zielona Gora took some fearful tankings and only collected something like 4 points.

Ryanair's perfect customer turns out to be frigbo.

Just don't take any baggage with you.

I must have been mistaken in thinking Gollob was outstanding in the SWC at Wroclaw and Eskilstuna in 2005. Gollob just needs to have proper machinery under him. And Nicholls has not a hope of making the top 3. None whatsoever.

Someone's been on the "wacky baccy" again. Nicholls above Gollob and BP? Hampel and Gollob are the best bets there, value-wise.

Well, not sure what Chris Louis regards of "right conditions", but Marta Poltorak qualifies as "right conditions" for me.

Surprised no one in Poland's looked at Lindback. I know he didn't cover himself in glory during his time with Wroclaw last season, but I'd have thought someone would've come in for him. Would he still be eligible to ride as a junior?

Wow. When I started reading this it was in the Elite League section and by the time I'd finished it was in the International World of Speedway section. All sounds rather inelegant.

I, personally, would rather swim the North Sea and walk rather than fly Ryanair.

So, come on everyone and join the Bydgoszcz forum at the following address: http://www.pbnf.6r.pl/board/index.php Mateusz has even provided an English section just for us.

The Ekstra Liga fun and frollicks commence on 9 April, 2006.
