Tickets for Inzell secured. Does anyone know when the Heerenveen tickets will be released? It`ll be my first trip to this venue. Any advise on getting from Amsterdam airport to Heerenveen. Am flying in on the friday morning?
On Saturday 7th October buses and trams going towards the stadium /and back/ are free for Speedway Ticket holders from 15:00 to 24:00 Kinds regards Maciej Lemanik Pozdrawiamy, Ośrodek Informacji Turystycznej w Toruniu Toruń, Rynek Staromiejski 25 tel. +48 56 621 09 30, 621 09 31
Does anyone know if this year is the same as previous years in that if you travel around on the trams/buses it is free on the day of the GP if you have a ticket for the event?
Also, I travel down to Torun as follows:-
Bus from Airport to Bydgoszcz bus station. Then I catch another bus to Torun Bus Station. The cost is about £2.50 & takes about 1 hour. You can buy a ticket in the station or from the driver. Buses go about every 1 hour & drop you at the Torun bus station. 10 mins walk to the Old Town.
There were no covers on track.
Krister Gardell (FIM Jury) has just said live on Polish TV (at Tarnow meeting) `that they currently have one`, (yes only one man!!!) `working on the Lublin track` in preparation for tomorrow`s re-staging of the SEC Final Round. I`m still in Lublin & the weather is worse than yesterday.
One guy working on the track. That is irresponsible of an FIM representative to admit this live on TV. Unfortunately, its attitudes & comments like this that are dagging down this once great sport.I know we can`t expect riders to race in the rain but something needs to be done that as soon as it stops we go racing.In cricket they cover the playing area & in tennis too. Both are covered within a short period of time after the rain starts.
I am in Lublin. It rained all morning & then until about 4pm. But hasn`t rained since. Polish tracks are very good drainers so why hasn`t the meeting been run?
Or Why hasn`t it been rescheduled for Sunday.
I have a theory that the Polish Exstraliga is running this sport not the FIM?
Lots of Polish speedway tomorrow.
Ok the forecast for tomorrow here is worse than today but hey I was at Leszno last year & it rained all day til about 3pm they scrapped all the wet shale off the track dropped it on the infield & relaid it - started an hour later & finished by 10pm. But hey it was live on Polish TV. There`s a pattern here.
SEC will lose a lot from this.. Lots of Latvian & Brits outside stadium at 5-30.
Will be surprised if this series runs next season.
Spoke to the Eurosport lady on the telly & she was very apologetic.but the rest of the SEC officials just walked away after they made a statement in Polish. When I sked them to make a staement in English he just looked at me. When I asked why can`t they restage tomorrow he hide behind `the decision was made by the FIM Jury`.
Even had to get `shirty` to buy a programme from the ticket booth cos they didn`t want to sell them until the restaging. Had to tell them I was leaving before the restaging. This sport can be brilliant but at times I do question why i bother to follow this sport with some of the jack-ass decisions that are made. Maybe watching more ice hockey than speedway soon.
Certainly won`t be going anywhere near SEC events in the future. What a joke, No regard for the travelling supporters.
It`s been a shambles since I got here on Thursday. Went down to the track, No one knew when the practice was. Thought it was saturday at noon. Then I asked if the public would be able to watch they couldn`t answer that one either. Nothing on the website even though there was a guy sat on their website page all the time I was in the office.
I was talking to a former rider at Prague airport who was really positive about Prague so expect it`ll be on next years calendar. Possibly bigger & better!!
Don`t think Stockholm`s Friends Arena will be around in 2018. Only 12,500 rattling around their in 2016 & 2017 being the last year of their contract.
What a great weekend.Lovely setting. Seats on the start-line. 3 nights in Inzell highly recommended especially if you enjoy trekking. Want to go back next year. Have a great time in Heerenveen Conkers. Hope to go next year
Many thanks Conkers,
The scenic route sounds like a nice way to see the area as its our first visit. But will bear in mind your offer should we decide to take that route. Should you wish to say hi at the stadium we will be near the start with an England flag.
Hi
Is anyone going to Inzell for Team Final & flying into Salzburg on Friday morning & then travelling straight down to Inzell?
If you are taking a taxi would you consider sharing the cost. If not any suggestions on most inexpensive way or best route?
My son & I Are flying to Poznan for the Gorzow GP. Any ideas on the best way of getting to the meeting. Have never driven in Poland & wondered if anyone is driving from Poznan as I would happliy share petrol costs (& map read!!). A few years ago I spoke with a couple of Aston Villa supporters who did this drive on the day of the meeting. Are you doing the same this year? I believe you flew from East Midlands airport on that occasion.
Also, does anyone know where the Edward Jancarz statue is in Gorzow?
Please can anyone help?
I have registered onto the site in preparation for the GP ticket sale. But I have been waiting 2 days for the activation link e-mail. Have requested again via their website but heard nothing.Has anyone got any items?
Also, does anyone have any suggestions getting from Poznan to Gorzow GP same day up & back?
