On there way i would suggest Google translation of a Sportowefakty article published today. We don't have good news for players Coronavirus paralyzes sports games around the world. Slag will also soon feel the effects of this disease. The situation in several countries is very worrying. In Poland, coronavirus appeared relatively late relative to other European countries, but the situation will get worse, as state authorities are convinced. There have been 17 cases with us so far. An elderly man who was hospitalized in Wroclaw is in serious condition. Further cases of coronavirus mean that the next matches of football Ekstraklasa are to take place without the participation of the public. There is no decision in speedway, but even PGG ROW Rybnik has decided to cancel its presentation for the 2020 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 So any truth in the rumour that the Polish authorities have banned all 'large gathering' events for the whole year. Speedway clubs to run in closed stadia?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway clubs to run in closed stadia?? The Polish border is closed until May 3rd unless you have a work permit. But 14 days self isolation applied. The big question for the league starting is when does the border re-open and do foreign riders want to have a 14 day quarentine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatting to a Polish friend on Facebook it looks like there are consequences to the proposals... Firstly, how can you have league racing in empty stadiums when there will be 3 proposed SGP's to be held in sold-out stadiums? Won't it be interesting to see how long it will be before BSI grasp the reality of what's being proposed? At the moment they are still happily selling tickets for the Torun SGP to anyone who wants one. Secondly, for a foreign rider to ride in Poland, they will first have to spend 14 days in quarantine when they cross into the country. That means that border hopping is out of the question, so any rider who was planning on riding for a Polish and a non-Polish team will have to make a choice on which side his bread is buttered on. It'll be one or the other. Likewise, the SGP series becomes untenable for the same reason. But again, don't expect BSI to work that one out for themselves any time soon. Thirdly, if, as is likely, those riders on decent contracts in Poland decide to stay there for the entire season, it will mean a shortage of quality riders appearing in the British, Danish, and Swedish leagues, again because of the border hopping impracticalities.

The 14 day quarentine applies to anyone entering up to May 3rd. After that no one knows yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only relaxation of restrictions is the ability for people to use parks & forests. No sign of any other restrictions being lifted for the foreseeable future. Let's see if and when things change.

BSI / FIM are responsible for what comes off their web site, and if they are presenting themselves as the ticketing portal, then they are responsible for that. Just like if you buy milk from Asda, and it's bad, Asda are responsible for the product. The end consumer doesn't care if it came from a cow called Daisy that is part of Farmer Palmer's dairy herd, in a little rural enclave of southern England.

Mark Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Until the GP is officially cancelled there is no need to stop ticket sales. Surely anyone thinking of buying a ticket must know about C-19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Polish racing hoping to start. They are taking a strong view on pay and riders. https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/8215/riders-facing-50-pay-cuts I WILL SAY SIMPLY: IF SOMEONE DOES NOT WANT TO SAVE SPEEDWAY, HIS WORK AND THE WORK OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE COMMON GOOD, THEN HE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED BY SOMEONE ELSE.
