Col Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Like others have mentioned I don't think you will need much cash in Poland, maybe at the stadium if you want some fodder or drinks. There are things to do in Torun but it's not a big city like Wroclaw. Gingerbread Museum & Copernicus Planetarium (make sure you have an expresso before you go in) are worth a visit if you have not been before. You can climb to the top of the Old Town Hall for a panoramic view of the city & surrounding area. I was hoping KH Energa Toruń (Ice Hockey) maybe staging a fixture while I'm there, but sadly not this time. The local gingerbread & honey beers is good and available fairly cheaply in most shops but if you are after some proper beer then Deer Bear is the place to head to. There is also Torun Sour Soup which is pretty delicious, loads of restaurants around the square, had everything from an American diner filth fodder to an Indian & Thai previously but my favourite place to eat is the restaurant by the Brass Donkey (less cute than initially imagined.... it was medieval torture device). And there are a fair few pierogi places, not my thing but worth trying if you've never had them before. As well as the Copernicus statue & the brass donkey, there are brass cartoon dog, gingerbread woman (with dog) and brass woman with Goose to spot around the city and the dancing fountain is worth viewing after dark if it's on. Toruń Plaza is a sizeable shopping centre near the stadium also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 On 9/11/2025 at 10:20 AM, therefused said: so is Wiktor Przyjemski, hes also in the main squad. Is Przyjemski likely to be fit? He's missed the last few weeks including the final of SGP2. I'm not sure I can be bothered with the SoN2, are any of the other nations (thinking potentially Denmark) likely to give the Poles anything to worry about?

This is another couple of weeks away yet, whether he is fit or not though is a different matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed as Parnitskyi comfortably overhauled Przyjemsk points wise Przyjemsk didn't compete, but I've just seen he scored 6 in Vojens which doesn't suggest he was fully fit.

Nowhere near fully fit... Basically where he gated, he sat, very unlike him... Looked in a lot of pain before his fifth ride...

stevehone Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago SoN2 will be a Denmark win, expecting the same team they put in the U19s final a couple of weeks ago, very very tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago On 9/8/2025 at 1:17 PM, SPEEDY69 said: I'm wondering how much Zloty I'll need for the SON final on the Saturday. I arrive late morning and depart early evening on Sunday with accommodation and stadium tickets already purchased. Anyone have any advice? I've just got 560 zł for £120... If I'm going 7 fixtures (maybe/hopefully) that'll be enough for a snack at each, the in stadium beer will be gassy rubbish I'm certain, so I'll not bother. I might get a Brennan Bydgozcz top & a Lebedevs Gorzow top, but when I have purchased these previously I've been able to pay on a card (even at Grudziądz where the shop was a tent!)

Can't imagine either GB or Sweden struggle to qualify, guessing Germany v Latvia will be the battle for third. Czech's favourites for third from the other semi?
