Sportowy Fakte have listed the licence status for each track.

For those unable to access or translate the page the situation appears to be:

 

Extraliga - Licences issued to Leszno, Gorzow and Torun. Conditional licences granted to Zielona Gora, Tarnow, Grudziadz, Rybnik. Wroclaw - licence refused.

 

League 1 - Licence issued to Lodz. Conditional licences issued to Krakow, Gdansk and Daugavpils. Supervised licence - Rzeszow. Refused licences - Bydgoszcz & Gniezno.

 

League 2 - Licences issued to Krosno, Czestochowa and Rawicz. Conditional licence issued to Pila. Refused licences - Opole, Lublin, Poznan

 

Not a happy situation but not necessarily the end for those refused licences.

What a strange situation, I guess it's certain technicalities that have led the refusing of granting licences go most of these clubs, as it seems less than 10 actually have a licence to run next season?

It`s certainly not normally technicalities that stop the issuing of licences-it`s normally where there are debts from the season just gone which need to be cleared before the authorities give the green light. As far as Wroclaw`s refusal it`s not about money but a problem because at the moment they have not an agreement where they will race home meetings in 2016-the Olympic stadium is un-available because of the refurbishment for the 2017 world games. the likelihood is that Wroclaw will use either Posnan or Ostrow as their base in 2016.

What intrigues me is what precedent there has been for a situation where six licences have been withheld and how often have licences eventually been issued after appeal? Assuming that those with conditional licences meet those conditions what chances do the other six realistically have?

 

In some ways it is a sign of Polish strength rather than weakness that this system is in place. If the SCB had such powers in the UK I do wonder how many licences would be issued? You could say that at least the Poles are tackling the problem, albeit it would appear at considerable risk, bearing in mind only one unconditional licence has been issued for League 1!

 

At the heart of it though it is frankly ludicrous that there should be financial problems given the gates they attract. Anyone would think they were British football clubs....

It's not ludicrous at all when you concider what percentage of the gates taking goes to the riders...

It has been announced that the Torun team will enter the 2016 season under the name of KS Get Well Torun. The club says that by doing this it wants to support Darcy Ward ( among others)

At last Monday's press conference, it was stated that the club’s initiative action is to support people in need. - They also wanted to stress that it was Torun who largely initiated campaign "Get well" for Darcy Ward. We want to see that its potential is fully realized - the club said

The isotonic drink called „GetWell” will be released on the market in the new year. Revenue from the sale will be used, among others, for treatment of Darcy Ward.

But you make my point with that. It's ludicrous that riders are taking such a high percentage of the gates!

 

It's the same across far too many sports so it's certainly not a problem specific to Polish Speedway.

 

No matter what the reason, I stand by my comment that is is ludicrous to be losing money on such gates.
