Speaking with Martin Smolinski yesterday at Birmingham Speedways Civic Reception,and he is sure that there will be a speedway GP staged in Germany next year.He reckons there will be an announcement regarding this within the next few weeks.

Been there and no I don't want to go again!

And this is why he's a legend in Torun:- The approach to the Marian Rose Moto Arena is named after him too Actually Tom,you can re-live that moment in 1990;_ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O3ij8AnGJU

One of the finest speedway riders i've ever witnessed in 40 years of watching the sport!

TYLKO FALUBAZ!!!!!!

From what I saw of DB last night at Swindon,and the company he beat,hes got every chance.Very impressive!

Can Foxhall stadium have their heater back too?

Were they after his autograph?

He had fried chicken and fries at Peterborough Services on Monday evening,then told me the A605 road was closed and I needed to take a diversionary route to get home.

Below the belt comment regarding LS .The guys confidence was smashed after a very,very serious accident at Plymouth a few years back.I know for a fact at one point that LS considered giving it all up,as he hadn't got the confidence to get on a motorbike again.

Bridger has been riding for Rybnik in Liga 2 in Poland this season.

Couldn't agree more with you Haza.A weekend to remember in Bydgoszcz(and then Torun on Sunday evening too).

I went to the corresponding fixture last season at Pardubice,and spent the evening in hospitality with Vaclav Miliks' sister who tried to tell me how the format of Czech League was devised.The amount of tactical reserves you could make almost matched the number of beers I consumed!!

Not at all!!There's a bar more or less opposite the entrance to the stadium! There's an even better one at the back of the stadium!!!

I emailed kupbilet.pl yesterday,and received an answer from them today:- Due to the fact that Polish Postal Service ceased providing services as regards sending value letters to Germany and the United Kingdom among others, we are forced to the change the form of receipt and collection of your tickets. The tickets that you have purchased can be collected from the ticket window at the stadium on the day of the event. Postage will be returned to you. Pozdrawiam Konsultant KupBilet.pl Hope this helps calm the nerves about not having received GP tickets.

A bit of a 'downer' with the Gneizno v Wroclaw meet.being staged on 18/04/13 at 18.30pm.My flight lands at Bydgoszcz on that date at 21.15hrs.Could have been the ultimate weekend with this meet,followed by GP on Sat.20th and Torun v Gorzow on Sun. 21st!!

No,got a hire car,but will see you either in Torun or Gorzow.

Interesting times ahead then with a clean sweep for Stal Gorzow riders in the GP challenge.If the policy of having 1 GP rider per team in the Polish Ekstraliga remains,then who will SG go with in 2013?

Thanks for that info r and r.I was kind of panicking(even though I'm a regular to Polska)that when I purchased the tickets for GP and Ekstraliga Final through Kupbilet, that my passport number appears on every print off on the tickets,and the other people in the party with me would have problems entering the arenas if the id numbers are different. That's a pity you're coming home on the Sunday.I'm sure we could have found room in our hire car to take you to Gorzow.

4 tickets for 1st leg Final in Gorzow just purchased!!!!

It is an excellent book indeed and looks like it is soon to become a collectors item.Massive respect to the contributors of this book namely Mark Potts,Tony Marks,Kev Tew and Andy Scoffin.

On the 7th October there will be finals.Grand Final of Ekstraliga,3rd v 4th race-off,and the winner of Ekstraliga relegation play-off(Gdansk or Wroclaw) v 2nd place team in Liga 1.I'll be going along myself with a few others to one of these finals.All will be revealed regarding finals line-ups over the next 2 weeks of racing in Poland.Hope this helps bb.

Meeting is postponed!!!

Interesting Topaz.Going Torun in October.So far expenditure is £19 for ticket,hotel in Bydgoszcz £135 for 3 nights for 3 people.About £60-80 for flight from Brum to Bydgoszcz return.Ekstraliga Finals on the Sunday(hope we don't have to travel too far from Bydgoszcz).The max you'd have to pay for a ticket for admittance on the Sunday would probably be a £10 too!!
