Swedish Final is the 2nd stream on kergel

4 quarter finals on May 9 at Gdansk, Gniezno, Krakow and Krosno.

Yeah, I read the bit on the lodz website. Looking at last year's meeting on YouTube, it looked like it was pretty much sold out.

Thanks R&R. I was aware it was a reserved date but didn't know about the meeting at Lodz. That's probably a good bet as it's just over an hour away.

The IMP and DMPJ qualifiers are listed as on the Thursday and Sunday. Any idea of when the venues are likely to be announced as will be flying out Thursday morning and home Monday.

It's on supersports > motorsport channel with kelvin commentating, as is tomorrow's GP

It's on supersports > motorsport channel for anyone who has access to that.

Smaller old town, but very much on a par with Krakow and Wroclaw

That's what we'll do but would have been nice to cheer them on at the track. The racing at Tarnow definitely isn't worth the trip... they don't even let you take your beer out of the bar!

Could they not find a track any further away from Torun to stage it?

Yeah, very. Book seats online before you go, then get the train from the airport to Gdansk Glowny (main train station). The bus station is directly behind it, literally a 1 minute walk. Car hire is also not that expensive and it's one motorway between Gdansk and Torun. That's what we're doing.

Flix Bus (formerly Polskibus) do a direct bus from Gdansk to Torun several times a day, from about a fiver each way. Sometimes quicker than the train, as on some trains you have to change at Bydgoszcz.

Capacity wise, Bradford would be the obvious choice for a second GP. Unviable as a league track nowadays, as an 800 crowd would be pitiful in a stadium of that size, but would work for GP's, SON etc.

So who gets next year's wildcard, the winner of the re-staging or next year's winner? Someone is still going to miss out. 2005 world U21 final was decided on the toss of a coin after Kasprzak and Suchanek had tied on points but hadn't met each other, and that was to decide a world champion!
