Champion Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) So far we can only assume that the start time in Tarnow will be in the evening (around 19.00), and in Rzeszow in the afternoon (they have some problems with the illuminating system) Edited May 10, 2006 by Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Snackette Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Trip now confirmed and looking forward to spending a few days in Krakow. Do any of our Polish friends have confirmed start times for the meetings at Tarnów and Rzeszów? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 So far looks like the start time in Tarnow is 19:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Snackette Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Are Polish start times state secrets? Despite emailing the clubs concerned, I've yet to receive any confirmation as to when these two meeetings start. Torun's website, confirms Champion's post and shows a start time of 7 pm. Yet on the Tarnow website I took this at 4pm CET: "Do kolejnego ekstraligowego meczu, tym razem z Toruniem, pozostało już tylko 3 dni i 22 godziny" My Polish isn't that good, but the above appears to suggest that next meeting starts in 3 days and 22 hours time, which by my cacluations makes it 2pm on Thurdsday. Any help with this and / or the Rzeszów meeting would be much appreciated. Edited June 11, 2006 by Mr Snackette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champion Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well Mr Snackette, I really hope you've enjoyed tonight's thriller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Snackette Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Well Mr Snackette, I really hope you've enjoyed tonight's thriller <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What a superb meeting. Really enjoyed it. The crowd and atmosphere were fantastic. I think that had Wieslaw Jagus not touched the tapes in heat 14, Torun might just have nicked it. I did like look of Stanislaw Burza, who appears to have some considerable potential. But for me the highlight was seeing Thomasz and Trick lining up in heat 15, evoking very pleasant memories of Ipswich in 1998. The meeting itself helped reinforce my view of just how shoddy Elite League speedway is in the UK, which must now be considered a very poor third to both Poland and Sweden. Hoping that Rzeszów is as good on Sunday, which I understand starts at 6pm. Thank you Champion for you help with start times, much appreciated.

If it's the strength of the league that's a little myth that doesn't seem to be bearing out despite a few naturalised fans over here saying it is. I recently watched six Swedish meetings on the web and I can't say that the strength of their league is appreciably stronger than the EL either! Trick is doing better in Poland that he was in the the so-o-o-o weak EL... Burza scored 12+3 yet is only averaging 8.00 in the PL!!!! Ales Dryml scored 7+1 - I wonder whether he would in the EL, perhaps we'll see soon. Miedzinski scored 7 - that's far more than he's managed for Swindon lately. Of course Trick and Gollob are an awesome spearhead but, overall, the league doesn't look that much stronger to me, despite those with a drum to bang on here insisting that it is. Just my two pennies.... Edited June 16, 2006 by Racer X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 The Polish League are more on an even level because of the machinery being equal and that most tracks are big and wide. No need to mess with engines. On the coverage I have seen, Polish League is far more better than British Leagues. I team can suffering a hammering and not particular deserve it as they were on the pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Don't think it is quite so easy to judge comaprative strengths by looking at how certain riders do in both leagues.If all tracks were similar then ok,but just because Dryml or Miedzinski do better in Poland,doesn't mean the league is weaker,maybe just the track suits them better.Still,if you have enough time on your hands you can go through the leagues and compare all riders,work it all out and come up with statistics to prove something or other.I still like the look of the Swedish and Polish line-ups far more than the most Elite teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
