Got a feeling Firley is spelt wrong on the Wittstock site

[Bavarian]

The rider in question is Mariusz Fierlej, and the Polish team to ride against Wittstock comes from Opole.

That is who i thought it was,but not having followed Polish speedway so closely over the past year or two wasn't 100% sure

In the end it didn't matter if it was Firley or Fierlej,as he didn't ride!!! Was a very enjoyable meeting.Like i thought,very evenly balanced with a few great heats and a wonderful 6 man final after the meeting on this very wide track.5-1 in the last heat clinched the meeting for the home sideThe crowd seemed sparse to me,but at the end they announced it was a record crowd.Not sure if that is just for the new promotion or all time record.I guess the former

Wittstock have just announced they have pulled out of this years Bundesliga.Causes they state are their two planned home meetings are both against Landshut and one of the dates they have been given clashes with neighbours Wolfslakes meeting.They state the asked and were refused for their meeting to be run a couple of days later .Such a clash would only split the crowd at both tracks.

No suprise, the calendar makes no sense at all... shame though. Only three teams left now...

League exit: Wittstock makes DMSB responsible

The Wittstocker wolves have withdrawn their nomination for the Speedway League. To start 2014, only three teams in the German top flight.

The speedway league this year will be of only three teams (Landshut, Brokstedt, Wolf Lake) persist after the wolves from Wittstock have officially announced their retreat to the DMSB on Tuesday.

"We were placed so many obstacles in the way that we have no other option but to withdraw the nomination for the Speedway Premier League," said sporting director Frank Wall. "When we got the heading that we must take drastic action at home against Landshut twice, I asked the DMSB whether it was her seriousness, both home to race in a total of only four teams against one and the same enemy. I was assured by people of the railway committee that I have to keep the ball low, as it is still changed. Now we have two weeks before league start and it has done nothing still. I'm annoyed that I did not immediately officially filed a protest. "

Not only because of the Bundesliga fixtures the wolves are angry. A postponement was also rejected. Wolf Lake and Wittstock wanted to deliver their home race at Ascension, whereby both Brandenburg clubs would each take away viewers. Then agreed the club bosses to agree better with the dates in the future.

Wittstock put the DMSB a request for postponement. "Him hath the DMSB rejected without justification, the diary is already fixed, I was told," says Wall on. "Even with the pair of championship we were put off. I had talked to people from DMSB, given the commitment of the Wolves for the pair championship orally. My secretary had the application be mailed directly by email, since the DMSB site was down for some time and I am hard to get to any forms. Then I got the answer, you are unfortunately only reserve as ye have called too late. "

Wall brings out: "Perhaps it is time, time to make another league over another association or SVG. I see a yes, that's draw mistakes can happen. If you have made a mistake, you can just turn it back on. It can not be that we have to go with our two home races against each Landshut. Viewers have been wondering about which of the two races they should come -. Twice the same sporting event will also see among us any »

According to league rules Wittstock be reckoned with because of no-show with a fine of at least 1000 EUR and loses to be included in a speedway league the right in the coming year. Frank Wall sees the left: "If I have to pay a fine, I let the check from my lawyer. He will then also consider whether the fixtures were legal, but since I'm ran very relaxed. "
