Polish Ekstraliga 30th September

I watched the match between my mates from Leszno so my few words from the battlefield..

 

As usual in Poland - and it was an ordinary league match

Well, I don't describe the final as an ordinary league match.. And let's not exaggerate such massive crowds are a common thing at every stadium each round.. But number of fans at the Leszno stadium today was more than impressive indeed, seemed like the whole city was there! :blink:

 

Three hours before the meeting I didn't manage to buy a programme as they had been already sold out. As it turned out, I was quite lucky to get a ticket as they were sold out as well, about one hour later! A total madness :D Peeps everywhere, I bet if they had a stadium for 50 thousand, they'd have gotten those 50 thousand there..

 

The match was nothing special tbh and actually I don't know why.. The track didn't seem slick but it provided only a few passes throughout the whole meeting. Shame but guys around me didn't seem to be concerned about it much - obviously only the result mattered. The atmosphere was fabulous, it was worthwhile going there to hear the roar and watch the passion of 25 thousand speedway fans.. Although I felt a bit strange as an impartial watcher (prefered Leszno to win because of the hatred of Torun but didn't care that much really..) I enjoyed this event.

 

I predict that Torun`s stadium will be overcrowded as well - about 20 000 fans for sure - Those who owns Polsat Sport can be ready for the best actions there

The Torun stadium is a small cr@p comparing to Leszno, wondering how many Leszno fans they are gonna allow to get in after Leszno's unfair ticket policy towards Torun fans. Not my problem though, should be fun anyway.

 

Very hard to predict who will be crowned. 8 pts of advance don't guarantee anything and the case is still open which is good for a drama of the 2nd leg match, of course :)

 

Had to run through the whole city, from the stadium to the railway stadium, to catch the last train and honestly, I'm knackered :P - pictures & vids tomorrow.. 'night.

 

PS. Feeling sorry for Rzeszow.

I'd make Leszno favourites to win after yesterday. They're "top line" of Adams, Kasprzak, Hampel and Balinski should score enough to get them the win on aggregate. I think they'd be better off drafting Miskowiak into the team and putting Batchelor at reserve ahead of Pavlic, since Torun's reserve pairing of Marcinkowski and Zabik had a field day yesterday, which is just as well.

Can Torun operate rider replacement for Robert Kosciecha? That would seem a better option than either Dryml or Zagar, both of whom may have a prior engagement in Pardubice anyway. But neither would be a great loss - Zagar in particular is becoming an embarrassment. I just don't understand why Jan Zabik allowed such a joke as Zagar to have four rides yesterday?

Should be an interesting meeting in Torun, but for Unibax to stand a chance they're going to need big performances from Jagus, Sullivan and Zabik.
