If I can be of any help, just ask :-)

How can you justify your opinion that the British NL is better, because Torun walked out of the play-off final. What this incident got to do with one league being better than the other?

Yes, we do know that... but still don't understand why?

Can you, please elaborate a bit more on what you mean by "the Polish set-up", and which league systems are better ( in which country) Thank you.

... and I am intrigued by Google translator. If you require any translation ask a sworn translator, not Google.

Oh ! No...it wasn't. It was all because Jim Lawrence, in his referee box, was accompanied not by one, but TWO LADIES...says one punter who thinks he is in the know. This should never happen - he says. One of the ladies - admittedly was his wife, but the other ? The other was Tony Steele's wife Wife, even the best, can distract men at work and unfortunately this was the case because Jim was clearly out of control and did not know what he was doing . So now you know why all this had happened.

Spot on.

Apologies accepted. There were not very cheap for the people who have to earn their cash in Poland. The average wage in Poland according to http://www.thenews.pl/1/12/Artykul/196598,Average-wage-in-Poland-up-34-in-2014 is £8250.00 per annum whilst in the UK ( I'm told) it is £26500. That's 3.2 more than in .pl The average ticket entry for the Warsaw GP was around 80.00 PLN which for you is about £14.50. Admittedly it's cheap if you earn your cash in the UK, but how many out of 53K people in Warsaw GP earned their cash in the UK? So for the locals 80.00 PLN it was more like £46.50 for you. Isn't that an average cost of ticket for Cardiff ? As far as I know the cost of tickets was NOT subsidised by the PZM. They know what people earn and what they are prepared to pay for their entertainment. Yes, they could set the price on par with Cardiff, or any other GP venue, but they would not have half the audience they had. Isn't better to have full terraces and similar income, to high entry tickets and half empty stadium?

Trees, there are limits in spreading roumors and bluntly speaking just lies. If you have proofs that half the tickets at the Warsaw GP were given away to get the crowd they did, then show it.

translated from the latest news published on sportowefakty.pl In reference with the signals from disappointed speedway fans attending SGP at the National Stadium in Warsaw, the portal pozywamy-zbiorowo.pl has been consulting with the Legal Company Dauerman about a possible action lawsuit against the organizers . Preliminary analysis shows that there is the possibility of a class action lawsuit (of course with certain documents - in particular the ticket). In time, we will transfer you to the next instruction.

The ship was carying syenite - a coarse-grained gray igneous rock composed mainly of alkali feldspar and ferromagnesian minerals such as hornblende.

No, it wasn't. The track has been built by the Danish company Speed ​​Sport, owned by former world champion Ole Olsen. Preparations began two months before the Warsaw competition . Nearly four thousand tons of a special aggregates, which is the staff speedway tracks are made of , were loaded in King's Lynn in East England on the ship. "Celtic Warrior" which after three days docked in the Polish port at Gdansk. From there it was carried by150 trucks to Warsaw. Polish fans were asking - why the track material was imported from abroad? - They were told that a company laying temporary tracks, has extensive experience in the construction of such facilities. It took them some time to develop a proper, proven blend of aggregates, and because of that the material always comes from the same place. The same was true for the GP events in Cardiff and Copenhagen, where it was used track construction aggregates from England.

Everyone in Poland believes that they have...

I hope my translation is a bit more than just "pretty clear", so here it goes: To make the series more attractive, each time the red and whites will face a team made up of overseas riders selected by a different criteria. In Krosno it will be The Slavic Team which will have in its line up such riders like Emil Sayfutdinov, Artem Laguta and Martin Vaculik. In Pila the White Eagles will face a surprise team selected by one of the biggest stars in the history of speedway. In Gdansk, Polish team will ride against a team of foreigners who in the past represented the local speedway team „Wybrzeze”. Whilst in Lublin, the Poles will ride once again against The Champions Team. The first such a meeting was held at the local track in the autumn of 2013, and proved to be the proverbial „bull's eye”! Readers of Tygodnik Zuzlowy” gave it prestigious title of The Event of the Year!

According to sportowefakty.pl, Roman Karkosik, the former owner of the Torun club considers investing money in World Speedway League. - A few days ago Polish speedway EkstraLiga of which I was a part for the last eight years has opened its new season. Backing up speedway I wanted to create something unique and forward-looking. A strong club in Toruń and Extraliga as a whole., whose board acts in the interest of clubs as a co-owners of the organization. I have found that this was impossible. Certainly not in the personal and proprietary system as it is. The dominant position of the PZM in the Extraliga and its current chairman do not create for this discipline any positive outlook. Messing up with the rule book and the acting style of the EkstraLiga authorities were direct reasons for my decision to split from speedway - said in an interview with SportoweFakty.pl Roman Karkosik. The influential businessman was disgusted by the rules that prevailed in the Polish speedway sport and sold the club. Karkosik however has not forgotten about speedway. - I hope that Tomasz Gollob will present himself like a champion at the National Stadium during the Grand Prix and Emil Sayfutdinov quickly returns to health and twill take part in World Speedway League. I'll be watching closely this competition and I believe that with the support of the international federation it will become the real Champions League, which will be looked at by the whole speedway world - adds at the end Karkosik.

Many experts say that the 2015 Speedway Best Pairs Cup round at Torun (to be held on 28th of March) is having the strongest line-up in the world. All seven speedway nations that are taking part in this competion will be represented by their best riders. The Torun round of SBP will include three world champions - Nicki Pedersen (2003, 2007, 2008), Greg Hancock (1997, 2011, 2014) and Chris Holder (2012). The Russians with the current Individual European Champion- Emil Sayfutdinov and the Laguta brothers are - in opinion of many are favourites to win. The Poles coached by Mark Cieslak will have in their line up, Krzysztof Kasprzak, 2014 world runner up and Jaroslaw Hampel - former twice world runner up champion plus Piotr Pawlicki, individual Junior World Championship A year ago Australians were the winners on the Motoarena and later went on to win the Speedway Best Pairs Cup. Unfortunately one of the world best Australians, Darcy Ward is banned till the August, so Mark Lemon their team manager decided this time to call up Chris Holder, Jason Doyle and Troy Batchelor. Compared to previous years, the formula of the competition has changed. The first rider at the finish line will receive 3 points, the second - 2, the third - 1, and the last - 0. The team’s score for each tournament remains unchanged (10,8,6,4,3,2,1). The winner will be the pair that in three tournaments will collect the highest number of points. SBPC prize pool is 900 thousand. zł. The round one of the 2015 Best Pairs Cup tournamnet at Torun looks like this: Australia: Chris Holder, Jason Doyle, Troy Batchelor Denmark: Nicki Pedersen, Niels Kristian Iversen Latvia: Andrzej Lebiediew, Kjastas Puodżuks, Maksim Bogdanow Poland: Krzysztof Kasprzak, Jarosław Hampel, Piotr Pawlicki Russia: Emil Sajfutdinow, Grigorij Łaguta, Artiom Łaguta Sweden: Andreas Jonsson, Tomas H. Jonasson, Antonio Lindbaeck USA: Greg Hancock, Gino Manzares

My apologies to everyone concerned...and especially to uk martin, who rightly pointed out that the correct name (at this moment) for the Torun speedway club is - "KS Torun" K - stand for Klub, and S stands for Sportowy. There are rumours that the club is getting a major sponsorship deal from "Polski Cukier" (Polish Sugar) and the odds are that the sponsor's name will be incorporated into club's official name.

For a start, there is no Unibax Torun anymore. The owenership of the Torun club has changed and with it came its new name - STAL Torun. So from 2015 it is STAL Torun. Secondly, Torun is already in Esktraliga so the question as you've put it is a bit odd.

Call me a cynic, but if they would get bigger paypacket in PL, I think they would.

Most likely they would. You must remember that the current situation concerning speedway worlwide, and the UK particulary is due to the current political situation. In the 50'/60' there was still the Iron Curtain and it would not possible for the likes of Briggs, Moore, Fundin or Mauger to ride in the Polish League on the daily basis. Only thanks to Solidarnosc and the collapse of Iron Curtain Hans Nielsen was allowed to ride for Lublin in Poland, thus showing others the way.

You're not the only one. Emil Sayfutdinov thinks the same and for the 2nd year running will not compete for the World title. The Russian rider believes that he is not adequately prepared to battle for the GP medals at the world championships. - "The Grand Prix is a special game. To ride in it you have to have arranged everything accordingly. This applies to mental issues, logistics and equipment base. To obtain a good results, tone also needs a bit of luck. GP cycle is difficult to compare with the SEC, where there are only four rounds. The Grand Prix have twelve of them and one practically has to be focused just on them running from one GP competition to another. For me, it's too tiring. When I competed in it, there was always a moment when I was sick of seeing a motorcycle. Last season was different for me. I was focused only on the league and on the SEC appearances. I had more time for myself, I was able to relax between events. Thanks to this I managed to get satisfying results, and being on a bike brought me only joy - said Emil Sayfutdinov in an interview with the Polish newspaper "Glos Wielkopolski".

found on Yahoo speedway group : "The inaugural round of the Grand Prix 2015 will be held in April at the National Stadium in Warsaw. Information on the organisation of the competition has been revealed in an interview with „ Tygodnik Zuzlowy” ( Speedway Weekly) by the president of the Polish Automobile Association (PZMot) Mr. Andrzej Witkowski. The first round of the 2015 cycle is to be held on April 25th. The organiser of the competition for Individual Speedway World Championship at Poland's National Stadium in Warsaw will be the PZMot, and the agreement with the BSI, promoters of the cycle, will apply for the next three years. The Warsaw round of the Grand Prix wild card will go to Tomasz Gollob. The press conference, which will present all the details of the planned event, is to be held on November 13th at the National Stadium and will be attended, among others, by Tomasz Gollob. "

Yes indeed... good old Wikipedia...what I found out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage is that the average UK monthly wage was $3460.00 while in Poland $945.00

You forgot to mention that 5 pounds in Poland goes five time longer than in the UK

Interesting... KK when asked by the Polish interviewer what he thought about his and Nicki Pedersen's clash - replied: -Nicki Pedersen nie szanuje innych. Inni też go nie będą szanować. -Nicki does not respect others. Others will also not respect him.
