And the very early team news seems to suggest that the Eastbourne pair of Cameron Woodward and the global superstar will be in Rzeszow and not at Arlington on Sunday.
I still say it is a nonsense that the British authorities are allowing the global superstar to ride in Poland ahead of his British club. He should be ordered to ride for Eastbourne and if that doesn't suit him, then he and Eastbourne should feel the consequences.

They are indeed racing Poland, as we have rightly or wrongly got R/R for Cam and Schlien for Nicholls.

But as you say Sub it stupid that Nicholls is allowed to put Poland above Britain, but I think grand prix circus are getting the blame because if they hadn't had to move the grand prix this wouldn't have happened. Not that that excuses Nicholls for racing in Poland instead of Britain. Cam on the other hand is Australian so I'm guessing it was up to him.

But this again puts the BSPA hopelessly on the defensive.
Ipswich were granted no facility to cover Jaroslaw Hampel a few weeks ago in similar circumstances, until they deemed him to be "with-holding" his services. Yet now Eastbourne get facilities for both the global superstar and Cameron Wooward at the drop of a hat.
Hampel was handed a 28-day ban, yet it appears nothing is going to happen to the global superstar or Woodward.
It's just a disgrace, pure and simple.
How many call-ups to ride for Rzeszow has Woodward had this season? A handful, if that. Yet he drops everything the minute they call and leaves Eastbourne in the brown stuff.

And the signs around Torun's stadium are telling fans that tickets for Sunday's Ekstraliga final meeting against Leszno are sold out:

The start of the meeting is Rzeszow has been delayed by around 15 minutes, so, hopefully, coverage will be starting very soon.

Are you now watching the Gdansk/Rzeszow meeting? All I'm getting is 'transmission soon' and the meeting's now started.

That's all I'm getting as well - shame.

At least it's not just me. That almost makes me feel better...if you know what I mean. Fingers crossed the other meeting doesn't go the same way!

Very true.
Every now and again it seems to make an effort to start, but just reverts to the "starts soon" screen, so maybe they're having problems.

[admin]

Okay, I have the meeting playing now.

Yep, same here. Finally! Better late than never

Track looks a little bit difficult - I guess Rzeszow have probably dumped down the dirt hoping to catch Gdansk out.
