Stadium Renovation and Training Camp: ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz’s Plans for the Coming Months

The 2024 speedway season has already gone down in history. For ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz, it was a year when they hoped to finally return to the PGE Ekstraliga after many years, but this goal was not achieved. Now the club is working intensively to try once more to advance to the elite.

One of the elements that almost everyone in the club is waiting for is the new stadium. However, this investment will start a bit later. The current priority is the construction of lighting and linear drainage. The city of Bydgoszcz has budgeted over 10 million PLN for this. – By the start of the next season, we want to modernize the lighting and drainage. – says the Mayor of Bydgoszcz, Rafał Burski, to Express Bydgoski. – The requirements are such that the turns should have a six percent fall, and the straights a three percent fall. We are short by a few centimeters. Therefore, 320 tons of crushed granite and 60 tons of clay have been delivered. Now, this needs to be mixed, then laid and compacted, before drainage work begins. We hope that all related work will be completed by the end of the year, so the track is ready for winter – adds the president of ABRAMCZYK POLONIA , Jerzy Kanclerz.

So, when will the new grandstand be constructed in Bydgoszcz? – By spring 2025, we want to have an updated building permit for the grandstand on the first curve. Financial issues will determine the timing of its realization – Burski explains further. This statement likely means that work on building a grandstand similar to the one by the machine park will start in just over a year.

The preparation period has already begun for some speedway riders. ABRAMCZYK POLONIA , however, will begin its preparations next year in Żnin, as they did before the previous season. – We will go to Żnin again, but this time a bit earlier, at the turn of January and February, announces Kanclerz. – Last time we were a bit later and combined it with commutes for track training. Now the riders prefer to go to a winter training camp, and when conditions become suitable for track outings, they want to be there all the time to make the most of it – said the club president to Express Bydgoski.

Before each season, many teams decide on friendly competitions among themselves. As Jerzy Kanclerz says, such competition will also not miss the Bydgoszcz team– We would like to ride with Ekstraliga teams, but it’s too early for details – he concluded.
