Bydgoszcz has got its own airport with RyanAir flights from Stansted, Birmingham and Liverpool. http://www.plb.pl/index.php?lang=en

When the tickets are on sale I will let you know starting a proper thread on this forum with all relevant info, so no worries Would not expect them on sale earlier than in July tho, I guess...

Andreas Jonsson as the captain in my team please

Leszno weather forecasts About 20 degrees and hopefully no rain

I don't know what special will be done with the engines of Polish riders (any by who) but for the first time ever Poland's national speedway team has got a strategic sponsor (company Nice Polska) who pays for preparing Polish riders for such events as Team World Cup and U-21 Team World Cup only. So with this extra boost of money I hope the team will be prepared even better than in 2007 and 2008 and we will kick some Danish @sses !

Pics from Torun - here & here

The stadium capacity is exactly 15'500... and they sold all tickets for this opening match in a few hours. Looks like they've got a decent track in Torun at last! At the old one it was usually all about the gate but here we got to see some action

Been it watching it on sopcast and so far so good, even on my poor 1 mbps broadband

He rode for Ostrow today. Scored 2 points and they lost to Rybnik at home 44:45

Captain Gollob please

Write as u want then... I only quoted what my friend was told by Emil when he asked him about the spelling - as we had the same problem here and were wondering which version was correct. I stick to the 'Sayfutdinov' one, which he uses too.

Ostrow suspended Harris for one match as a 'punishment' for scoring only 4 points at Gniezno in their last league match (which they surprisingly lost 38-52). But they will probably not gain anything by this swap - they changed a poorly performing rider (Harris) for an even worse one (Stead). Stead rode in a few matches for Bydgoszcz last yr (in Division 1) and was utterly rubbish each time.

SAYFUTDINOV or the Polish version of this Russian surname - Sajfutdinow. Both versions are correct but only these two ones - not Saifutdinov or Sajfutdinov or any other combination of i,j,y,v,w But on the internet (on facebook and nasza-klasa.pl) Emil uses this first version, that's the one he's got in his passport.

The 'English version' which he has in his passport is: Sayfutdinov The 'Polish version' is: Sajfutdinow. Both are correct, but only these two ones.

Thanks for the info Ghostwalker.

Latest news - NP stays in Cz-wa ! They managed to find a few sponsors who will pay him. Don't know more details though - whether there was any pay cut or not (but I guess there was).

Nicki Pedersen - £60,000 - captain for Prague Tomasz Gollob - £45,000 Andreas Jonsson - £35,000 Emil Sajfutdinov - £25,000 Sebastian Ulamek - £20,000 £185,000 in total

Emil won't win two more u-21 world championship titles as a few weeks he announced he had resigned from taking part in this tournament anyone - he wants to focus on SGP now.

A very unofficial pay list from one of Polish newspapers. Published in January, only 1 mln zl and above... Later on, shortly before the season, Gollob (and other Gorzow riders) agreed to some pay cut (about 25%, I reckon). The second highest paid one in Czestochowa was Greg Hancock. 1. Tomasz Gollob - 2,1 mln 2. Nicki Pedersen - 1,95 3. Jason Crump - 1,8 4. Leigh Adams 1,6 5. Rune Holta 1,45 6. Hans Andersen 1,4 7. Greg Hancock 1,35 8. Andreas Jonsson 1,3 9. Kenneth Bjerre 1,25 10.Jarosław Hampel 1,2 11.Scott Nicholls 1,15 12.Grzegorz Walasek 1,15 13.Krzysztof Kasprzak 1,1 14.Chris Harris 1,05 15.Emil Sajfutdinow 1 16.Bjarne Pedersen 1 17.Ryan Sullivan 1 PS. I don't really care about NP but if I had been offered a contract with the amount about 2 mln zl, so more less the money Gollob and Crump get, and then had been told about the pay cut to the level of Bjarne or Sullivan, I would have not agreed either and left the club.

I heard the pay cut was 50%. Instead of about 2 million zlotys signed in the contract they offered him about 1 million. So tbh if I were him I'd probably tell them to f.ck off too

LOL
