Rico Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Anyone contemplating going to Wroclaw from southern England and hasn't booked a flight yet, then check out Wizzair who have flights from London Luton to Katowice (a couple of hours by train to Wroclaw). Outbound flights are currently priced at £13.99 and return at £32.99 - with tax that works out at £64.30 return - bargain !! Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner_girl4eva Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Thanks for that Rico, hey maybe I can make ot to 4 GP's after all! Have you got any details/websites which show the train times etc? Also what is Wroclaw like for the GP, as I haven't heard much about it compared to other ones? Which hotels are nearby etc, any info appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're booked up in the Radisson SAS, but there are plenty of hotels in the town. This is my first time to Wroclaw, so can't really be much more help than that. I'm sure if you have a search on the net you'll read nothing but positive things about the place. Certainly the guide books are quite complimentary. The track, every time I've seen it, seems to produce some good racing, so game on. Rico Edited April 22, 2004 by Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Massive thanks Rico, hope to see you there maybe Hey GG4Eva. No probs at all. We tried to get you over there last year but clearly failed. Your damn right if you're there then we'll catch up. We'll have a Premiership trophy to celebrate after all. Assuming you get yourself sorted out shout me up off list and we'll catch up with you and your bloke whose arm must be twisted all kinds of ways Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREDON Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Wroclaw is a proper speedway track, end of story. Racing should be ok, and certainly cannot be as bad as that served up on the one off tracks, that BSI seem to persist with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Copenhagen and Gotheburg and Cardiff booked, so I can't wait! I have given up on my boyfriend going abroad for speedway so turned to my family and friends!

Me and my friends got tickets for seats in sectors 2-9 It's gonna be hot there Those seats r well located but u gotta be quite early to find some place in the highest rows. We r leaving Bydgoszcz at about 3 am to get to Wroclaw at about 8 am. Then queuing in front of gates till 2 pm and then next 5 hours of waiting at the stadium GP in a Polish style lol... We plan to be back in Bydgoszcz next day in the morning. PS If anyone wants to book tickets for Wroclaw GP here you've got a site where you can do it. Before 1st May it's 20% cheaper http://www.bilet-speedway.pl/ Edited April 25, 2004 by Mateusz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we're in with the prawn sandwich brigade in gates 21 and 22 - we've gone for the Sector A tickets I admire your dedication to the cause Mateusz but the thought of having to queue for so long puts me off getting an unallocated seat, expecially as it's our first visit to Wroclaw. I really hope the place is packed to the rafters though. Bydgoszcz in September I reckon we'll be going out on the terracing. I see the Wild Cards are going to be decided soon - I am hoping for Kolodziej and Jagus. Rico Edited April 26, 2004 by Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Yeah, I agree that it's a bit hardcore to wait all in all about 11 hours but it's gonna be funny I think A few LECHs & some nice girls and we'll survive Find at the stadium a banner "Polonia Bydgoszcz Net F@ns" - that's out fan club And by the way: Gollob jest zajebisty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lech and ladies, tut tut We'll hopefully catch up with you at some point during the day - I'm still on the same mobile number - let me know if yours has changed.

f-s-p Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Just wanted to know if there's going to be league speedway on the same stadion on sunday following the GP. If not where's it going to be staged? I'm coming to Wroclaw on friday before the GP, and leaving on monday. My girlfriend thinks we'll do some sightseeing on sunday, but if there's league racing...

See fixtures on Mateusz web site http://www.speedway-poland.tapesup.co.uk/l...e-fixtures.html Change of plans for me. My wife and I are staying in Poland for another week, taking in the Tarnow-Wroclaw meeting and staying in Zakopane for a few days. We've got G.P seats in sector 22-23, and are the ones with the Pirates flag. Call by for a prawn sandwich.

f-s-p Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 (edited) Travel details to Prague (in my jacket pocket) must have messed my head, since I was convinced Wroclaw was on the 15th. Guess I'll have to do some sightseeing afterall... We dont have tickets yet, we do have a hotelroom in Wroclaw and train tickets from Berlin.

It's gonna be a superb match between two the best Polish teams. And Zakopane is a beautiful mountain town. I've been there many times. Fantastic place Have a nice time in Poland!

'Ey up Rico - hows it going ? 2nd bend in the Polonia kop ? Is Tomek Elwood going ? It will certainly be out in that direction, whether one of my colleagues would be up for the rowdies I'm not sure - some reassurance will hopefully sort that issue out. Elwood is hoping to attend, he certainly hasn't booked anything as yet. New job has seen his GP attendance record plummet but I'd imagine he'll be making special arrangements to attend the big 'un. Will we be graced with the company of Papa B etc etc this year ? I'm sure one of the etc's will encourage Tomek to go (given Tom's comments last year) I'd have my camera ready for the moment they met again Let me know what GPs you are going to so I know when to look out for you.

f-s-p Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Yesterday I bought the train tickets to Wroclaw (from Berlin). Incase anyone is interested in some combined flying (Easyjet is flying from London Luton to Berlin Schönefeld) and train travelling, details (for two) as follows: On friday 28.5. 09.38 IC241 Berlin Zoologischer Garten, arrives at 15.42 Wroclaw Glowny, so traveltime is 6.04hrs On monday 31.5 12.41 IC240 Wroclaw Glowny, arrives at 19.02 Berlin Zoologischer Garten, traveltime 6.21 Price was 71,50 € (Sparpreis Europa, this train at this time, no refund) + reservation fee 6€ per ticket, so it came to 83,50€. Regular fare was 118€, allowing last minute changes(yes) and refund(?). There are, naturally, other trains to Wroclaw also, but we are taking this one. You cand find more info at www.db.de. The station Wroclaw Glowny is about 2 miles from the stadium. And also there has been A LOT of talk about taking the airfence of the straights starting at Wroclaw in the Swedish press. I might be wrong, but I believe I even saw it stated as a fact. Then again, I havent been feeling all that well after Prague...
