Ashie Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have decided to sample the delights of Polish speedway with a Polish friend, but I have no idea on tracks, ideally I am looking to find a track close'ish to a big city / airport served by the UK. I wonder if any of our Polish friends can recommend any tracks that may be close to a big city and airport so I can make a day or two of it? Ideally, a good big racing track Thanks.

spanner47 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Bydgoszcz would be your best bet,ryanair fly straight there,and a great racing track. Only problem with bydgoszcz is that they're currently 2nd division, and if the meeting is against rawicz or one of the weaker teams it wont be worth watching. Same applies to the top division this season, 3 very good teams, 2 average, 3 not so good. So if you're going to poland this season, be choosy with the fixtures.

Thank you to both of you, is there a website which lists the league teams and their riders (so I can pick and choose). I have tried Google, but I get all sorts of sites, often referring to last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I stayed in Krakow (flew direct from Bristol) and took the train to Tarnow on the Sunday for Speedway. It's a straight run on the train, left Krakow at 13:00 and was back by 20:00. They're not too hot this year though, teams like Wroclaw, Zielona Gora or Rzeszow will be the closest matches with Tarnow.

Go to: http://www.przegladzuzlowy.pl/wersjaangielska.php Look on the right and click on the leagues listed below the heading "wyniki and tabelle" for fixtures Use the drop down menus for the clubs (at the top) in the three leagues and click on "kadra zespolu" - to get the squads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashie Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Arnieg, Thank you so much for your detailed description, I was able to find my way around the site, thank you. One question, on the list of riders for each club, there is a title of 'Juniorzy' with more riders, I assume Juniors? Do they race for the club too? Thanks again everyone for your replies. Will let you know where I end up going, much depends on my non speedway Polish friend and where she wants to go back in her homeland lol.

2ndBender Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'll be in Gdansk for a week in August taking in the Gdansk - Bydgoszcz Liga 1 match, plus all the touristy bits. Easy connections, airport/city centre/stadium, and a good racetrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
