Steve Shovlar Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Red should be out of the meeting dodgy fall. Torun look well up for this. Think Gdansk need to raise their game to double what it is now. They don’t have the firepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfair to bring Wimborne Road into the conversation our track is superior in every way to Gdansk and hasn’t been slick for years. This is rubbish and why I want Torun to remain in the top flight. To be replaced by Gdansk would devalue the Extraleague considerably. Just had the camera on Batchelor laughing and joking. He didn’t know he was being filmed. The crowd turn up expecting 110% and then see Batchelor not caring or serious. You have to wonder if some of these second division riders want promotion to a higher league where their place could be at risk and/or points harder to score.

racers and royals Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Gdansk statement issued today- Google translation In the first place, we would like to thank you for your many visits to yesterday's game. The faith and strength that you gave to the players was enormous and we believe that our stadium can look like that in every league competition in Gdansk. Unfortunately, the opponent turned out to be better. From this place we would like to congratulate the team of Toruń victory and maintenance at PGE Ekstralid.In this sentence we should finish, however, there were events in the past week that should not happen in the sport and we are obliged to inform you. On Wednesday one of the players of the team Zdunek Coast Gdańsk presented the proposal of financial gratification and contract in the team for the season 2018 in exchange for a weak attitude during the match play. The athlete rejected the offer and immediately informed the management of GKŻ Wybrzeże. A day later the offer was renewed and the player was offered a higher prize than on Wednesday. The offer was reissued. At the request of the player the club board abstained with all actions on the matter until yesterday. Our intention was to provide athletes with maximum mental comfort for Sunday's competitions. On Sunday morning, the other riders of Zdunek Coast were informed about the offer, and they all denied it to accept any offers of this type.In conclusion, we would like to emphasize that we have NO basis to claim that any of the competitors Zdunek Coast Gdansk presented unprofessional attitude in Sunday's competition, and the team from Torun won in unfair competition competition. We also believe that everything has taken place in a sporting fight. However, we have undeniable, hard evidence that the corruption proposal was made to at least one of our competitors and in our opinion this is absolutely unacceptable and pathological. We also have grounds to believe that this situation negatively affected the atmosphere in our team and the mental preparation of the players to the match. The case has been handed over to the police and will be handed over to the authorities of the Polish Motor Show and PGE Ekstraligi. We believe that union representatives will do their utmost to adequately punish perpetrators and slag sports will remain free of corruption and unsportsmanlike conduct. "Gdansk club activists do not want to comment more on the matter and will not be answering any questions about the sytem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 What's to translate?? Gdansk have hard evidence that at least one of their riders was approached with a bribe (money and a 2018 contract) to 'under perform' in the 2nd leg against Torun. The rider produced the evidence to the Gdansk owners before the 2nd leg and all Gdansk riders were informed (in case others had also been approached) - again before the 2nd leg took place - which Torun won comfortably to maintain their place in the Extraleague. Evidence has been presented to the Polish Authorities - watch this space!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
