racers and royals

Offical announcement that there will be 7 teams in div 1(Nice Polish league) including Bydgoszcz and only 5 teams in div 2

It was a challenge between a div 1 side home to an Extraleague club after all. I`m not 100% sure but I think all the punters were charged was under £2 for a programme. Maybe better value than the mauling at Birmingham on Wednesday Sadly the hotel is now closed or was when I popped in on the way back to Poznan airport last season. They are holding the 1st meeting there of this season`s world cup-I am not convinced the racing will be upto much.

I think the "first class " fare might just have been a clue to the poster not being entirely serious !!!

Snap but Stansted -Modlin-bought my bus tickets online £16 for return for 2 people.

Another £1 lost

The only meeting scheduled for that day(at moment) is an individual meeting at Lodz. google translation of Sportowefakty article.

22.20 back to Ljubljana seems to be the last train. here is a map of Krsko-from the station you go left across the bridge ,left again and the stadium is down on the left. http://www.maps-streetview.com/Slovenia/Krsko/satelliteview.php

The late Gunter Sorber possibly.

Hi Marky- yes done Zagreb to Krsko by train-and nearly got shot by the Croatian border control guards, who didn`t tell us to stay on the train until cleared to get off to catch a slow train from the border station into Slovenia and Krsko. train station is about a 20mins walk from the stadium. Have a look here for train times http://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml Train back is 22.30-ok if meeting runs to time-looks as if you would have to leave Zagreb at lunchtime.

One Sport said they were going to announce yesterday who was taking the place of Togliatti. Nothing reported as yet.

Alex Harkess and the management committee I would think. they have always been consistant on these One Sport and FIM EUROPE events, as they are one competition too many for the smooth running of league speedway in GB.

Sadly it appears his personal problems have returned. Google translation of Sportowefakty article Last Sunday, the Swede for the third time he was caught by the police while driving a car under the influence of alcohol. The survey found 1.51 per mille.

Fearless bookmakers can be named on one hand- John banks, Freddie Williams. Well now you can add Racers and Royals to that exclusive list. I have put my head well and truly above the parapet !!!. One month to go before it all starts in the Polish capital-with no form to go on with the new silencers-here are the spreads for the Warsaw GP. Round one Warsaw Poland Saturday 18th April start time 6pm uk time Hancock 11 - 13 Woffinden 11 - 13 Kasprzak 11 - 13 Pedersen 10 - 12 Hampel 10 - 12 NKI 10 - 12 Holder 10 - 12 Zagar 7 - 9 Doyle 6 - 8 Jonsson 6 - 8 MJJ 6 - 8 Janowski 6 - 8 Gollob 5 - 7 THJ 5 - 7 Batchelor 5 - 7 Harris 3 - 5 RULES each contestant MUST place bets in all 12 rounds-in the event of having no money left they are out of the competition Each player starts with £300. MAXIMUM BET PER GP IS £200.minimum bet per GP is £20(or total balance if less than £20) minimum bet per rider is £10. If a rider is injured before a round starts then a bet is voided on that rider,or bets can be amended upto the meeting start time. If a rider starts a meeting but is injured and cannot continue THE BET STANDS but any points scored by the reserves count towards the injured riders score.If any rider is excluded for a starting offence the reserve points scored do not get added. To ensure fair play bets for the final round may be required to be PM`d to me instead of normal posting. HOW TO PLAY One must bet on a rider to score MORE OR LESS than the spread-the HIGHER figure is taken for MORE bets and the LOWER for LESS bets-the mid between the two is what I expect them to score-and they add up to 138 which is the total points available in a GP EXAMPLE player one wants £50 Hancock MORE(than 13) and £50 Jonsson LESS(than 6) Hancock scores 15 so he wins -Hancock (15-13=2 x £50=£100 and Jonsson scores 5 so he wins (6-5 =1 x £50=£50. Conversely if Hancock had a mare and scored 6 and Jonsson scored 10 he would lose (13-6=7 x £50=£350 and (10-6=4x £50=£200

Poland is for the Extraleague- N sport and div1- TVP. Sweden is CMore sport

1 stadia UK (Clark Osbourne) strung them along for years and it`s no wonder that the council finally went in another direction 2 Prudential developments own that land and will eventually do something with it. Sadly there doesn`t appear to be any Greyhound promoting company willing to spend millions building a new stadium in Reading. If anyone wanted to do a "Somerset" it would I`m sure have to be out of town.

Yes I was joking-just a tad too subtle I fear Nige and Kelv didn`t work for Sky on the GP`s -they worked for IMG/BSI on the world feed that SKY used -which is exactly the same as Eurosport do.

I have been to about 4 GP`S there and I would guesstimate tickets will go on sale about June time. what I would suggest is that you register/create account with kupbilet/Torun when the clubs new website is up and running.

When Philip Rising sidles into the shot on Eurosport, he appears so much younger than he did on SKY !!! ( it must be the Eurosport outside broadcast make-up Ladies doing their job properly)

I think the commentators are better as well than when they were covering the GP`S for SKY - Nige and kelv seem less constrained and now for Eurosport much more opinionated and happy-go-lucky.
