Polish speedway?

Speedway is one of the most popular sports in Poland and is governed by the Main Commission for Speedway Sport (Główna Komisja Sportu Żużlowego, GKSŻ) which is a part of the Polish Motor Union (Polski Związek Motorowy (PZM). The PZM is a member of the FIM and the Union Européenne de Motocyclisme (UEM).

The Polish Extraleague has the highest average attendances for any sport in Poland. The first speedway meetings in Poland were held in the 1930s and league racing began in 1948

Speedway isn`t the biggest, but is one of the bigger sports isn`t so popular like voleyball or football, but we have one of the strongest league on the world!

For a short period, back in the 70's, I would go and watch Teesside Tigers. Speedway is popular here in Wroclaw, but I haven't a clue who rides for them.

Hi! Just thought I'd post a message on here to plug the Ipswich Witches speedway team, we have recently signed two very exciting and very talented young Poles (Marcin Rempala and Zibi Suchnecki) to team up with fellow Pole and Ipswich Witch - Robert Miskowiak, and in the past we have had Tomaz Gollob and Jarek Hampel ride for us amongst other Poles. On the Ipswich Witches forums we have a few Polish users/contributors and also the site has a Polish translation to make it easier for our Polish fans and friends. I'm not sure how many of the Polish community live in or around the south east of the UK but your support would be more than welcome on the Ipswich Witches forums and also at the meetings themselves at Foxhall Stadium. Hope to maybe see some of you there! Best wishes Jules w ww.ipswich-speedway.com

Since you have bounced that thread I would like to say, that Speedway is a sport with the biggest audience average of all played in Poland. + it's one of few sports here that you can watch with whole family without a fear that some boneheads will start a riot

The new stadium in Toruń looks awesome. I'm sad that I live near Warsaw, where speedway isn't popular. I can watch speedway in tv only.
