stewmac Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Looks as if the Nice Polska league(2nd of the 3 leagues) will move from being shown on TVP to Polsat. this is expected to be confirmed soon. This used to be a free to air channel many years ago. Is it still the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 8 October Poland v Rest of World at Lodz - said to be a farewell to the existing Lodz stadium prior to their move to the new stadium in 2018. Is this definitely in the old stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Is this definitely in the old stadium?I'm not sure- on the Lodz website there is a clock counting down to the stadium completition. I work this out to early September so it could be the opening meeting at the new stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Can we get N sport on any sky channels here in the UK, does anyone know.  You'd need a motorised satellite dish (or one dish pointing at the satellite beaming down Sky channels and another that beams down the Polish TV) In addition you'd need the appropriate decoder. Some decoders require cards, and others obtain their decryption off the internet. You'd need about £400-£500 if you were starting from scratch, to get all the hardware set up.  After that though, with the right set-up, and with the "right" (hem, hem) decoder, you can use online decryption (about €100pa including UK stations), and cancel your Sky subscription, and save a whole packet of money. during the course of the year. The hardware is a "one-off" purchase, so future years become even cheaper. No more or no less legal than the KODI alternative that people keep referring to, but with a guaranteed FULL HD resolution on the Polish sports TV station on your big TV, rather than a matchbox sized video on your PC screen.

So lets hope that a certain Mr Gordon/Mr Morton have nothing to do with this new enterprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR indeed the people responsible for making a mess of the Belle Vue track... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrac Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Am going to Ziolona Gora v Gorzow on August 13th. One question, haven't been to that stadium before, do they do advance tickets or just pay on day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question, haven't been to that stadium before, do they do advance tickets or just pay on day? Biggest local derby(and hatred) in Speedway !!!! forget buying a ticket on the day. Your only chance will be from Zielona Gora when the match tickets go on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Interesting 2 page interview/article in this week's Speedway Star with Poland's Wojciech Stepniewski all about the new Polish rules!! Â The interview is by Paul Burbidge so I guess the gist of it will also appear on the SGP website soon.

eric i Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Do most Polish clubs sell meeting tickets on their website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Do most Polish clubs sell meeting tickets on their website?All the Extraleague clubs do and some of the other league teams do- checkout their websites for info. However availability of tickets isn't normally a problem- it's the actual completion of the purchase. Lack of English version and credit/debit card facilities being a big problem for non-Poles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 what do you mean, do they not accept English cards? What I mean is it`s one big hassle- some do have some English translation but I have found it stops just when you want it to continue. plus they want social security numbers etc- which is fine for Polish people but real problem for foreigners.There ticket sales are rarely set up for non- Polish purchases. Personally I would just buy on the day- unless you are trying for tickets for Gorzow v Zielona Gora or Grudziadz v Torun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawel115 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 what do you mean, do they not accept English cards? If its not a local derby(Gorzow-Zielona Gora,Tarnow-Rzeszow,Wroclaw-Leszni etc) just buy them before match btw ticket in polish is "bilet" to buy is" kupie". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
