LagutaRacingFan Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 (edited) Anyone surprised by the odds for a potential Lublin vs Wroclaw final? Lublin are 1/8 to win and Wroclaw are 5/1. The bookmakers think Lublin have a 89% chance of winning. Personally, I think that is far too high. Wroclaw beat Lublin by 8 points in the regular season and Bewley scored 2/3 points in that meeting. Unlike Emil, Laguta doesn't struggle to gate, so a slick Lublin track won't catch him out. Edited September 15 by LagutaRacingFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAN ON THE TERRACE Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Polish media saying today the rain is providing problems for the end of the season matches......below has been translated from Sportowefakty For now, the state of natural disaster does not apply to Wrocław, but the situation may change at any moment. The situation in this city is so serious that Monday's football match between Śląsk Wrocław and Stal Mielec has been postponed . A similar decision may soon apply to Friday's speedway match between Betard Sparta Wrocław and ebut.pl Stal Gorzów . In this case, such a decision may cause a bigger problem for the competition authorities. Theoretically, the speedway season was supposed to end in Poland on September 29. Usually, the weather in our country deteriorates at that time, and frequent rain and lower temperatures make it difficult to hold speedway matches at a later date. However, the risk of flooding in Wrocław means that simply postponing the key matches of the season seems like a fairly optimistic solution at this point, because it is possible that all subsequent speedway matches in Wrocław will be canceled. Already last week - due to rainfall - the semi-final of the PGE Ekstraliga in Wrocław did not take place. The reserve date was set for the next... Friday, and the first final match was to take place on... Sunday. Both matches could theoretically take place in Wrocław. However, the president of Wrocław, Jacek Sutryk, is appealing for the matches to be cancelled, regardless of the government's decisions. The threat of a state of natural disaster, and consequently a ban on mass events, may make life even more difficult not only for the fans and activists of this club. Without a resolution to the semi-final competition, it will not be possible to hold the decisive matches for the gold and bronze medals. The rivals in the fight for medals are Orlen Oil Motor Lublin (for gold) and KS Apator Toruń (for bronze). - We do not want to even discuss such issues at the moment, because the most important thing is the safety of people and the entire region. We are in constant contact with the city authorities and PGE Ekstraliga. The flood situation is very dynamic and unfortunately is changing for the worse - admits Sparta spokesman Adrian Skubis. There are many indications that Wednesday will be the day of reckoning for Wrocław, and that is when we will find out whether the city will be able to avoid flooding. Sparta Wrocław's situation is not enviable, because about 160 meters from the stadium walls runs one of the main flood channels of the Odra. Therefore, there is a serious risk of flooding the stadium. However, the threat of flooding alone could torpedo the club's plans and the entire competition. - We currently have several variants prepared and we are waiting for further developments. Perhaps we will find out the answers to several questions on Tuesday. Our priority is the safety of fans and residents of threatened regions - commented on the matter, PGE Ekstraliga president Wojciech Stępniewski . The problem is big, though, because final matches always provide the biggest cash injection for clubs and significantly improve their financial situation. It's no wonder that clubs want them to take place on consecutive weekends. Motor Lublin, on the other hand, probably won't look kindly on playing the decisive match for the championship away (in the event of a change of hosts for the final matches). The problem, however, is not only the prospect of flooding in Wrocław, but also a significant rise in the level of groundwater. Even such a situation could put the Sparta Wrocław speedway track out of use for several weeks. Then the Wrocław team would have to play... away to advance to the finals and possibly a home match for a medal. The problem may not only concern the match involving Sparta, but also the potential clash between Stal Gorzów and Apator Toruń for third place. According to the plan, the match was to take place this weekend in Toruń, and the return match in Gorzów next week. If the match does not take place this weekend, the next chance to play it will not be until next week, because the Grand Prix authorities will take over the venue from next Monday. It is also difficult to talk about changing the hosts, because the Gorzów team would like to celebrate a possible bronze medal at their own venue. There are only slightly smaller concerns about Friday's clash between Innpro ROW Rybnik and Abramczyk Polonia Bydgoszcz in the Metalkas 2nd Ekstraliga . Rybnik has not yet been declared a natural disaster, but the mood could change at any moment. In addition to all this, there is the fear of a sudden drop in temperature in Poland and possible problems with organizing further matches on other tracks due to rain. In turn, the ceremonial PGE Ekstraliga Gala is planned for October 11, at which the speedway season in Poland will be officially summed up. So there is not much time.

LagutaRacingFan Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 (edited) Polish media are reporting that Janowski has fractured his left wrist. If this is true then the Polish league play-offs have been ruined. Wroclaw are also not allowed to run R/R for Janowski as he is 3rd in the averages behind Bewley and Laguta. Can you confirm @racers and royals? I suspect Wroclaw may have enough to beat Gorzow, but they will get slaughtered in a 2 legged affair vs Lublin. The TV ratings will be dire and sponsors will feel sick. The PZM should do the right thing and allow special dispensation for Wroclaw to book a guest from the 2nd division. Somebody like Brady Kurtz for Maciej Janowski would give Wroclaw a fighting chance. Edited September 21 by LagutaRacingFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laguta 3rd, Bewley 15th, Janowski 19th Thanks, I've just read online that you can run R/R for the top 3 in the play-offs. It's the top 2 in the regular season. Lots of conflicting information about the rules! If Wroclaw can run R/R for Janowski, they should get through vs Gorzow. Lublin on the other hand is a write-off.
