2ndBender Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) In the 90s, Pila raced at the top level in Poland, staged major FIM meetings and employed the likes of Hans Nielsen. Can any of our Polish friends explain what happened to cause their decline into obscurity? In 2006, I saw the team at a league match in Miskolc, Hungary, and they were pitiful.

Mama Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 The main problem of Pila club was the fact they based on political connections ... and most of people involved in speedway at Piła treated the club as political "diving board" - they mooved to Warsaw and forgot about Pila ... From few years they have really big financial problems - partly because of bad management but also because of lack of interest in Piła speedway from big companies. From 2007 season ... there are 2 speedway clubs in Piła! Both of them started in amateur league - but only old club (Polonia) used stadium in Pila. New club (Victoria - established at the end of 2006) used stadium in ... Poznań (!) because they can't come to an agreement with Polonia authorities At the end of october 2007 both clubs finally organized together the amateur tournament in Piła - we'll see if they start to work together ... At December 7th there should be "Christmas Eve Tournament" in Piła - both for professional riders and for amateurs ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
