I did wonder if Batchelor & Hancock were planning to ride on Polish licences. Neither have SoN on their agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only be 10 more matches to fit into the normal League 1 fixture list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just 6 teams its 5 home fixtures in a season. That is hardly getting the best out of a stadium that is there 365 days and its also hard to keep fans interested. More home fixtures creates income to pay riders. Not something that could be done in 2020 but maybe 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked rebuilt 5 years earlier and for the life in me cant figure out why they cant make it viable in a city that big. Anyways, trees were growing in the stands, was a sad sight even with the local beer prices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wroclaw and Torun must have a maximum of 15 days from 365. I would want to use a stadium more often to create income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t they also run junior meetings etc ? Like the Danish tracks, they might only run 7 or so top league meetings, but at least the same minor league meetings. Plus practice sessions etc. The tracks get a lot of use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all of them are subsidized (sorry if mispeled) by the city/region/goverment. Thats how ALL sport works in Poland. Krakow for an example had an overgrown footie pitch in the middle. 1 hour ago, iris123 said: Don’t they also run junior meetings etc ?

It's all VERY different to UK. Thats all I know. Edited November 23, 2019 by f-s-p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is not only speedway that runs, but they have other sports within the club as well ?

Not really because the smaller clubs in Div 2(all of them) just wouldn`t be able to compete on team strength, budgets etc etc. Div 2 will probably meet each other 2 H and 2 A Edited November 23, 2019 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called Continental Speedway and all are welcome to join. It has mostly Polish stuff, particularly livestreams of all televised matches - not the same type of links as provided on here, along with YouTube videos afterwards. Please note I'm not trying to pinch anyone from here, merely to provide an additional method for folk to follow leagues across Europe.
