Not sure what the first race I saw was but it was in 1948 at Southampton. One match which sticks in my mind was Leg Trailers against Foot Forwards and I think Sprouts Elder was either riding or there as a guest. Does anyone else remember this ?
The Speedway Star has reported that Polsat will be showing Ekstraliga and Liga 1 in 2008 as well as speedway from GB and Sweden.
I can't read Polish but I think on sport24.pl it was saying that TVP Sport will be transmitting Ekstraliga. Does anyone know if this correct ? I am hoping it's still on Polsat.
I only know the total points scores which I expect you already have:
Rangers 31 Saints 45
Saints 56 Rangers 22
Details are from 'British Speedway Leagues 1946 - 1964' by Peter Morrish
Hi Grachen, the channel that shows the 1Liga speedway is EDUSAT on Hotbird 13E and Thor 1W. It's been showing repeats all through the winter and I watched it last night. It's an education channel but sport is on at 20:30 and 21:30 every night (UK time)
TV listing for Edusat is at www.wsseuczel.edu.pl/aktualnosci
As from Mon 26th March Polish TV programme 'Polsat Sport' will be showing live British Elite League via Sky Sports. Is there a possibility that we could be getting the Polish Extraliga from Sky ?
The man who may have information is # Name Removed # (son of Bert) who is currently team manager of the Isle of Wight Islanders, he can sometimes be found on the forum as "Sack The Manager".

Try (WWW) speedway.sk , it looks like a meeting in Slovakia on 27th August
I did start a thread on Edusat 2 or 3 months ago but nobody seemed interested.
If you don't already know, the programme schedule can be found at www.wsseuczelnia.edu.pl/aktualnosci/show.php#a3
Wish I could still get Polsat, I did last year but they have changed the encription so now it's not possible without an offical card.
On EDUSAT, a free channel, I can watch Polish 1 Liga matches which I think were previously shown on Tele 5. They are sometimes about a month old but it's better than none at all.
Another two Polish 1 Liga matches last night so it looks as if it could be a regular friday screening from Edusat. It's an edited version of the previous weekends racing
Regarding satellite equipment, I would suggest reading 'What Satellite' magazine, the June edition is now available
