Col probably knows the answer that it`s a squad and they will use who is in form/horses for courses policy. 

I did wonder if Batchelor & Hancock were planning to ride on Polish licences. Neither have SoN on their agenda.

Not all is well in Poland outside of the Extraleague. Yesterday Pila withdrew from Div 2 which leaves 6 teams only in the division(5 from Poland)

Would it make sence to merge Div 1 and 2 as riders would get a lot more fixtures.     It would only be 10 more matches to fit into the normal League 1 fixture list.

Ten more, costing the 2div teams ten times more to ride the season.

”All is not not well in Poland” is not news. :lol:

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.

But with 2-3 more it would be ok? Meaning a stand alone 3rd tier..

I visited the Krakow stadium last summer. 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...

How do many stadiums justify the cost. How many match days would the top Polish GP tracks have per year. Wroclaw and Torun must have a maximum of 15 days from 365.

I would want to use a stadium more often to create income.

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

Because all of them are subsidized (sorry if mispeled) :rofl:  by the city/region/goverment. Thats how ALL sport works in Poland. Krakow for an example had an overgrown footie pitch in the middle.

Some track are busy, some tracks are only for the "top team". No difference to any other country. And Wroclaw has the American football to use.

It's all VERY different to UK. Thats all I know.

Aren't some also continental style sports clubs? So it is not only speedway that runs, but they have other sports within the club as well ? And like you say, supported by local government

I’m quite confident to say that vast majority of them  are not promotional companies for speedway, but sports clubs. A bit like Barcelona in football.

Basketball as well. All well documented at the Camp Nou experience. Been there, twice yet a decade apart. If you do the math with the amount of visitors a year  Camp Nou has and multiply it with the entrance fee, you will zh1t yourself.

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

Indeed. 

If anyone is interested, that blog is connected to a Facebook page I run. 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. 

Request sent ;)
