Interesting interview with Gary Patchett on GP website. http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/2180/transfer-turmoil

Or could that be Richard Lawson ?

However the clubs=BSPA and therefore the BSPA=clubs. The clubs have handed the dispute procedure to the management commitee(voted in at the conference).so are we back to the need for an independant rules authority.

I could well have mentioned this before-the first thing to do is to buy the Speedway star 128 page guide to the 2013 season which will be published at the end of March-which has the full polish fixtures.Sportowefakty have a section on all the domestic Polish competitions. Edit Youth league matches planned for Tues and Wed details here http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/329505/kalendarz-imprez-zuzlowych-w-2013-roku-inaguracja-sezonu-w-krosnie-opolu-i-rawic

I should imagine the Sunday is kept blank as the rain-off date.Last year for instance there were no Polish meetings on the 8th July -the day after the bydgoszcz SWC opener however there were meetings on the following Wednesday(11th) in Poland(youth league) and a meeting in Pardubice.

For anyone confused Wegiel = Lublin

It would be a shame if TVP are out of the picture as their coverage is excellent,however as long as the streamers stream the action i will be happy.

This is a google translation of a sportowefakty article today I still do not know which TV will show the matches of the season Enea Ekstraliga 2013. Our service, however, was able to determine what will need to meet the criteria. Despite the emerging belief, the decision regarding the sale of television rights to Speedway Ekstraliga 2013 season has not yet been made. I do not know which TV shows the best league in the world meet. But we know that will be posed requirements. The right to apply for broadcast television realted and NC + (a combination of the N and Canal +). All offers are financially comparable. Speedway Ekstraliga authorities, however, it is not so much about the money as the quality of the transmission that particular TV are able to guarantee. NC + is now in a position to guarantee the highest quality media. Speedway Extraliga requires that all meetings were shown in HD. The stadium is to be installed a minimum of eight cameras. The novelty will be the studio that we know even of the Grand Prix. In general diagram showing the meeting is to be taken from the Grand Prix. The first competition was the best offer Polsat, which offered 8 million in three years. One thing is certain. Money at the moment are higher than those proposed by Polsat, but it is not known what amount in question. I do not know well how the money will be divided between the clubs. About all the partners decide Ekstraliga Speedway. Although a decision has not been made, all indications are that the authorities will want to Speedway Ekstraliga benefit from the experience and scope of Canal + TVN. NC + is particularly close to that from January 1, Canal +, ITI and TVN will constitute a group. TV expect that some of the meetings to be shown on Saturday. Interestingly want to use athletes to promote meetings. If the choice falls on NC + is a promotional platform will TVN and ITI-related programs. Players and their families have to appear in lifestyle programs. Each round will be ended magazine, which will be summarized all the meetings. It is not inconceivable that some of the matches will be shown on TVN Turbo. Recall that in the ITI group includes, among others channel TVN, TVN Seven, TVN Style and TVN 24 The novelty is to be part of players and their families in the programs implemented by the TV. Attempt to how the speedway to participate in the promotion of speedway, was the appearance of Tomasz Gollob in the program Good Morning TVN aired on December 7. Milestone in the promotion of speedway to be an annex to the agreement, which will set out the details of the promotion rules meetings Speedway Ekstraliga

Ulamek has joined Gniezno and Zengota to Leszno

Batchelor has apparently been told by Leszno he is surplus to requirements

Artem-If he re-discovers his 2010 form-not very good this season.

As far as i`m aware 7 teams in div 1 and 5 teams in div 2. No fixtures as yet. In Div 1 they are keeping the play-off format the same as this year.
