Not jealous, I simply expect perfect speedway from Poland on perfect tracks, I certainly don't expect processional 'races'!!  I'm obviously not emotionally attached to any Polish team so am watching it as a neutral ....

You talk some rubbish! ,processional races are quite common all over the World,and even more when you have Top in every race in Poland.There is 100% effort from all riders every race ,whether first or last.Not the case in GB   IMO.

Exactly varies from team to team and its cheaper in the lower divisions and ind meetings.

Of course a bargain, unless of course you are earning polish wages or have to pay for flights and hotels :blink:

We went to gdansk v Toruń a couple of years ago, the meeting was a non event but the atmosphere was something else and we went to falubaz and it was a last heat decider and you couldn’t hear the bikes on the start line for the noise of the crowd

so £10-£12 depending on the club - poland have the pricing right compared to the uk where its all about money for the promoters

The pricing is low because the wages in Poland are low.If you want to pay less to get into speedway ask the UK government to lower wages in the country and low and behold everything will probably be cheaper, even speedway. That is why if you lok. at Denmark everything is more expensive as you also earn more. Nothing to do with getting the price right

Its nothing to do with wages in the UK. Answer this then how can Poland afford to pay a top rider £135,000 a year if the gates are £10-£12 a meeting.

You could have a fortnight in  Poland for the price of Cardiff weekend in GB.

Yes it is like the 1,000s who supposedly go to Borussia Dortmund games from England because it is cheaper than English Premier League...

All different factor. They get help from the council and from sponsors. In the UK the speedway club usually has to pay out rent and often don’t even get the car or food takings and don’t get much help from elsewhere....

TV Money like our Premier football

Yeah, tv in poland want to show speedway, where as in england it gets bumped from channel to channel every year - no consistency and not willing to put any money into the sport, hence the reason why the uk cannot attract top riders as it is not worth them riding here compared to poland

In the UK your average earnings are about 3 times of that in Poland.So logically thinking you would pay roughly 3 times more for things in the UK than you do in Poland.
