New polish football season 2008/09

The first round of Poland's top football league has been postponed due to the fallout of a match-fixing scandal.

The governing board of Poland's premier league has pushed back the start of the season after a disputed ruling by the country's highest sports arbitration court that could result in two more teams being added to the league.

Top 2 leagues start on 25-27th July. I'm afraid Bydgoszcz has a team in lower league, nearby Torun, too. Your closest OE teams are in Gdynia, Gdansk, Poznan, Warszawa.

The league may no start this weekend. It’s all because of Polish Olympic Committee Tribunal decision to overrule Zaglebie Lubin’s relegation (which was caused by past corruption). Consequently, Arka Gdynia loses its place in the top flight. But, to be honest, we only now that we know nothing. Today Polish FA officials are going to decide if the league starts as previously planned.

PolskaDoll: Start of season delayed. well done to whoever has found out about it. At least what happened in Italy is not going to happen in Poland. Two seasons were ruined due to match fixing, Serie A was a joke for two seasons and nobody really knows who won what titles. Its nice to see that the Polish FA have their house in order even if they cannot control the match fixers themselves.

Beitar fans worry BJ owner Gaydamak more than Wisla Krakow Are you worried about the fans' behavior in Europe? "Fans need to understand they're not only representing Jerusalem but the State of Israel. I am concerned and hope they will not act inappropriately. I request from them that they act in a respectful manner in Europe and to cheer on the team in sportsmanlike fashion. Soccer is not just a sport but a window into society." URL I just wonder or it is safe enough for a Pole to travel to Israel:)? philistine.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/football-and-politics-in-israel/ But polish fans are bad too...It will be hot on the pitch and on the stand. I hope Wisla win the game and there will be riots... This game is to be shown on TVP2 at 8PM, and…internet tv

yehudi: Well look at that! The final score was Beitar-Wisla 2:1 Lucky You. It was a good match. I hope you watched the game or you aren't a real fun. There is still revenge in Krakow and all Jews are invited even those who are scared to travel to Poland :))

I've been to Poland, and it was no more scary than travelling to the rural US. Maybe less. It was a really nice trip. Maybe I'll come again to see the "revenge" game.
