I watched the match between my mates from Leszno so my few words from the battlefield.. Well, I don't describe the final as an ordinary league match.. And let's not exaggerate such massive crowds are a common thing at every stadium each round.. But number of fans at the Leszno stadium today was more than impressive indeed, seemed like the whole city was there! Three hours before the meeting I didn't manage to buy a programme as they had been already sold out. As it turned out, I was quite lucky to get a ticket as they were sold out as well, about one hour later! A total madness Peeps everywhere, I bet if they had a stadium for 50 thousand, they'd have gotten those 50 thousand there.. The match was nothing special tbh and actually I don't know why.. The track didn't seem slick but it provided only a few passes throughout the whole meeting. Shame but guys around me didn't seem to be concerned about it much - obviously only the result mattered. The atmosphere was fabulous, it was worthwhile going there to hear the roar and watch the passion of 25 thousand speedway fans.. Although I felt a bit strange as an impartial watcher (prefered Leszno to win because of the hatred of Torun but didn't care that much really..) I enjoyed this event. The Torun stadium is a small cr@p comparing to Leszno, wondering how many Leszno fans they are gonna allow to get in after Leszno's unfair ticket policy towards Torun fans. Not my problem though, should be fun anyway. Very hard to predict who will be crowned. 8 pts of advance don't guarantee anything and the case is still open which is good for a drama of the 2nd leg match, of course Had to run through the whole city, from the stadium to the railway stadium, to catch the last train and honestly, I'm knackered - pictures & vids tomorrow.. 'night. PS. Feeling sorry for Rzeszow.

Summarizing, oh yes!!

Live updates page filled in with the line-ups already.

No idea, just betting on a draw and expecting to watch speedway at its very best

Gas 'em all once they arrive in Leszno and no controversy over the tickets But seriously, it's a scandal tbh. Another idiotic move by Leszno chairman..

They'd have a full house even if they allowed tv to broadcast this match.. I'm gonna move my ass south to boo at Apator anyway

For the Championship title: Leszno - Torun (18.00) For the bronze medal: Wroclaw - Rzeszow (17.30, live on PolsatSport) Return matches - next Sunday, Oct 7th

..maybe. Otherwise they have to beg Brits governing SGP to give them wild cards each year.

The GP series is far more fair and everyone winning it fully deserves to become the World Champ, even such Nicki P. One day final would have its magic for sure but sometimes luck or track knowledge may play the main role.. Organise the final at Bydgoszcz and you already know the winner

I'd rather ask the question why GB gets one Grand Prix only?

Nothing booked but I'm going

Only because you were not riding that match against Bydgoszcz or Zielona Gora, two the most popular Polish teams of this forum

Gollob does care again and this is a really good forcast for this GP. This week TG is practising much at Bydgoszcz as both tracks are very similar. So.. 1. Gollob 2. Pedersen 3. Zagar 4. Crump let's say

A few vids: Teams' presentation Bydgoszcz fans' support Falubaz fans' support ZG riders thanking their fans Walking back to bus

Oh yes, go Ostrow!!

'cause he's such a pathetic loser. //Edit: Have uploaded some pics onto my homepage. Not only Polonia ones so it's not a biased gallery Videos later on as lots of encoding needs to be done..

Back. Great trip, sh!t result (as always then). I expected this so I'm not as devastated as I was two weeks ago. Congrats to ZG, you were far better than our riders who don't have balls at all and you have deserved staying up in Ekstraliga. AJ is a pussy, even bigger than PePe It was nice to see you Ewa, although it was like in a prison because of stupid security guards More tomorrow with some funny pics and vids, as usual 'night. PS. It's very uncool but the fact is that both teams will probably be riding in Ekstraliga next yr anyway, well let's say for 80% (some conditions need to be met).

Off to ZG. God save Polonia.

It is important to win a place in Ekstraliga in an honour way, not buying it. And the wild card sale is still not a fully certain thing. C'mon you have enough support here

I didn't take too many photos because of the same reason but I have posted a few nice videos here and uploaded just a couple of pictures onto my homepage. However, my more sober friends were hanging around with their pro cameras and took some decent photos. Check this out and later on Lawrence should post a link to his pictures once they're online.

Play-off: 2nd round, 2nd leg Torun - Wroclaw (17.00 cet) 45:44 on aggregate so far Leszno - Rzeszow (18.00) 48:42 Race-off for the 7th place, 2nd leg (staying up in Ekstraliga) Zielona Gora - Bydgoszcz (18.30) 46:44

A totally unforgettable GP on a track we didn't care about You didn't come so you don't know what you missed. Some of my vids from the backstraight: 7 pm...! Semifinal (the one with TG and KK) Final Honour lap to the rostrum Rostrum and the Polish anthem Some fireworks I was after ballantine's+coke so they are not really professional in every bit

Waiting for a piece of report from the virgin trip of Rico & Mama travel

I'm a bit late but.. TOMEK GOLLOB TOMEK!!! There were better GPs in Bydg before but TG's action in the final was a masterpiece. I know I should grow up but it was so exciting to light a flare when he was finishing first Just a priceless feeling you wait a whole long year for. Had a bl00dy good time this year, from Friday afternoon till Sunday morning. Was a pleasure to spend it with some of you. Will upload some cool vids from the backstraight hell later on

Well, if you take off from Poznan by RyanAir at 15:55 it's probably the only reasonable train you can go. The next one arrives in Poznan about 15:00 and that's too late. Of course you can buy the ticket at the station on Sunday, just get there those 20 minutes earlier at the latest. I'm going by this one too, as I said there ain't much choice, but fortunately it shouldn't be too crowded on Sunday morning. Anyway, see you there unless earlier at Brda etc.
