It is never definitely one day or the other until the official announcement. Even the riders know that. I fully understand how the polish fixture system works. The main mistake the club has made is trusting what the poles have told them in good faith. probably be the last time they take their word for things.

Jaizer Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Given Edinburgh's recent choice of guests and acceptance of this fixture is anyone else of opinion they have basically written this season off? Putting all efforts, understandably, into finding a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 If the riders concerned have early enough flights back from Poland then can't it be arranged for the Sunday ? Let's be honest there's no guarantee that Scotland will beat Ukraine so end up playing Wales on the Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the thing here is that Rawicz weren't in the position to tell them anything. And if you know how the system works, then you also know that.

I am sure the Weggies would enjoy seeing the Millars at Ashfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 I love how Glasgow are getting dragged into this when we agreed to move the meeting to the Saturday to suit the Monarchs but now they want to move it back after we have made arrangements to run on Saturday 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always appeal to Masters and Pickering's sense of loyalty and if that doesn't work tell them they are sacked if they ride in Poland.

HGould Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 There is one Club at fault here and it's not Edinburgh or Glasgow its Rawicz. Dishonouring commitments, playing the bully and disregarding other European Countries is a stain on Polish Speedway. It's crystal clear that Championship Clubs, particularly those who race on Saturday / Sunday and indeed any other Club wishing to ride on those dates or on occasions on a Friday; are going to be compromised by people who will chop and change Fixtures at a whim. Please don't beat each other up when the perps are in Poland! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't beat each other up when the perps are in Poland! Absolute rubbish from start to finish- haven’t you read anything from people who know !! All Polish E Winner league matches are scheduled for Saturday/ Sunday and Mondays as per fixture list and are only determined 2/3 weeks before as to regards when over the 3 days- this is mainly due to international commitments( Sec world championship qualifying etc etc) and and TV purposes. Div 2 is exactly the same only Saturday/ Sundays and for the weekend in question was decided which days only on May 24th. not great for GB clubs running weekends but that’s how it is. The Polish clubs in this instance Tarnow and Rawicz did NOT change anything on a whim !!!
