Gorgrel Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 For those going to Gdansk... If you travel by train to Gdansk Glowny (the train will be for Gydnia), when you come out of the station, go down the stairs in front of KFC and you will see a sort of underground mini market. If you take the second flight of stairs up (to your right), it will take you to a tram stop. In the underpass you can also buy tickets for the tram. Tram number 8 (signposted for Stogi Plaza) will take you direct to the ground - it's less than 10 minutes away. You will know when to get off when you see the big yellow Lotus signs on your right hand side ! On the way back your tram will be signposted for Jelitskowo. The trains from Bydgoszcz are a bit variable, normally they take about two hours - some do it in slightly less. The annoying thing is they speed along quite nicely up to Tchev, and then trundle the last half hour into Gdansk. Hope this helps guys. If you need any more questions about Gdansk feel free to ask (was there for three weeks in June in case you were wondering !). p.s. This link shows you what the stadium looks like, took it on my phone: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Gorgrel, give or take have you toured and visited every Speedway track in Poland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgrel Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) I wish mate ! I've not even done the whole Extra Liga (Tarnow and Rybnik). This summer was the first time I've been able to tour Poland properly, in three weeks I got to Gdansk, Bydgoszcz, Torun, Rzeszow, Poznan, Leszno, Rawicz, Czestochowa and Wroclaw. I was based in Gdansk, so it meant I clocked up something ridiculous like 2000 miles on the trains. I guess all the stuff is fresh in the mind, giving the impression I know much more than what I actually do ! I've been told by my brother that Zielona Gora has an awesome track, so I'm hoping they get promoted ! Have you been over before yourself ?

Fell in love with the place and Gdansk. Hopefully, if all goes to plan I am set to go for 8 days sometime next year. Once I get some money in the piggy bank.

Thankfully the cost of flights are coming down, although Poland will probably do a "Prague", and raise their prices a little for tourists soon. Although I'm hoping this will be more Krakow and Warsaw. 8 days sounds good, you might get jammy and get three matches (Sunday - Thursday - Sunday) in that time ! Plus any rearranged matches from the lower leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully one of the Liga 2 sides might have a re-arranged meeting on the Saturday and then hit somewhere showing the GP (if they will be on) the same night.

Rema & Ben Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 How far is Tarnow from Bydgoszcz? Are they riding after the GP? For everyone else on the evening Ryan Air flight from Bydgoszcz what are your plans for the whole day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgrel Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah it's Tarnow v Bydgoszcz the day after the GP. Sadly Tarnow is miles away from Bydgoszcz. I don't know if it's any quicker by road, but it must be the guts of 10 hours on the train. Which would probably mean getting the overnight train ! It is theoretically possible, but it's a hell of a journey, especially if you're flying back out of Bydgoszcz ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowasthatberntpersson Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'm doing it. Back to Torun after the GP then a very early start to get to Tarnow in time for the meeting against Bydgoszcz (by car) Fortunately i have a few days to play with before flying back to England from Bydgoszcz.

If the meeting is in Gniezno, why are you giving train times to Gorzow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
