Of course, it's all connected. But you're not going to tell me that the 15 folk who died this week in an old folks' home close to me, all displaying the Covid symptoms, were going to drop dead of the things above in the space of a few days are you? Similarly, in my small town of 7,000 I know of two deaths of people under 30 in the last fortnight who didn't even make it to hospital due to sudden onset of symptoms, and yet they won't be included in the figures. Repeat these sorts of figures all over the country and you have a hell of a lot more people than are being officially reported.

I'm afraid you have that completely wrong. The figures given each day only include those who have died in hospital and been confirmed as having died having Covid19. The true figures are very much higher, as community deaths and those in old folks' homes are not included...a fact that has been repeatedly highlighted in Scotland by the FM.. This link is only one of multiple that confirm this: https://www.ft.com/content/c07e267b-7bca-418f-ad9e-8631a29854cb

I'm coming rapidly to the conclusion there will be no racing this year. I have tickets for Wroclaw GP but I don't see it taking place in August.

The problem with this type of attitude though is that the more who do as you are suggesting you might, the less effective the strategy will be and therefore the more will become infected, and ultimately die.

Again I agree with the majority of your reply. However, there is no way we as a country can now keep an accurate track of our infection rate now the advice given today which stated that if you have symptoms, just self isolate and don't bother calling the doc or 111.

While I agree with you, children are surely able to transmit the virus, even though they may not suffer badly from it. With a significant number of teaching staff who are in their later years, and therefore presumably also possibly with health issues ( I speak as one myself, along with several others in my small school) there must be a good chance of infection and problems for them too. What irks me a bit today is that while the W.H.O. has been calling urgently for all countries to act aggressively to slow things down, here in the UK we seem happy to take little dramatic action as yet. This could have fatal consequences for many.

All mass events cancelled in Poland until at least the end of March.

The news yesterday that Zielona Góra has the first case in Poland, and that all mass events in the city, including sport have been cancelled for the next two weeks must be worrying for speedway in Poland. We are at a point now where if cases increase, as seems likely, sport will happen behind closed doors, if at all. Certainly in Poland at any rate.

Thanks. I had forgotten!

Can someone remind me - what's the ruling here? Can Poles who are U23 ride in these positions or not? My understanding was it has to be non Poles.

91zl actually equals nearly £20. That's a hefty excess to add to each of 44 tickets!

I made a group booking of 44 tickets before the general sale. These tickets were priced at 270zl each for the main grandstand, and I assumed, wrongly it turned out, that this would be the price they would be sold at to the general public. When I found out at the weekend that these same seats next to my group were going to be sold at 179zl, I complained bitterly to the club. Their response was that this was an admin fee (91zl per ticket!) and that events such as this, with high demand in Poland often offer advance tickets such as ours at double or three times the usual price, and I should be happy that in our class it was only roughly a 50% surcharge!! To say it left a sour taste would be an understatement, even though I know it guaranteed my group their tickets. R&R, I will forward the email discussion to you after I've eaten...

Can you direct me to any of them please Philip? I've obviously missed them..

Or you could join the Continental Speedway Facebook page, where all televised meetings from Poland will be streamed live on safe, malware-free links. We have a bank of extremely reliable providers and it will cost you nothing. You can also check back and watch every televised match from Poland, Sweden, and the UK from last season - all matches are easily searchable.

Have Eleven also lost out to nSport?

44 GP tickets successfully paid for today.. Wroclaw here we come again! #PurvesTours2020

Have you had any luck? I've been promised by Wrocław id be able to book since the end of last year for 44 and still blooming waiting now. 12 noon came and went, and nothing...

Correct - season ticket holders first.

Fantastic to see Bydgoszcz being improved.

It means the dates have not been finalised yet. It will depend on which are going to be televised. Probably they won't decide until 3 or 4 weeks before. I'm basically just repeating what R&R said above your question..

I got the same answer from them after emailing them directly.

Not yet

My first trip over next season will be for the round 2 matches over the Easter weekend - Saturday 11th April, Leszno v Wrocław then the next day Zielona Góra v Częstochowa. Good couple of matches in store and I love both stadiums. I'll be basing myself in Wrocław and will be returning there later on for the Wroclaw GP.

Sportowefakty reported earlier today that Ekstraliga fixtures will be released next Wednesday, 11th December.

That was 2018. In 2019 he scored 3 in Abensberg.
