Wisla Krakow

I think i follow that mate. You saying there is lots of trouble in the stadiums? People coming just to be thuggish??

 

Correct. Stadium is not a place where you would like to take your kids on sunday afternoon.

 

This is a big shame XXI, i look forward to taking my kids to football matches when i eventually gte my leg over but thats a big shame

 

I think what he wanted to say is you can't really follow the game with a cardboard over your head and smoke in your eyes

PS Although I don't like Legia, I think "welcome to *" presentation was the best one ever in our league.

 

How many people do you get for Krakow's home games?

 

we usually get around 9-10K a game since our current stadium only holds around 10K, but with the new additions, the stadium will have around 15-16K and it should always be 75 to 100 % full

 

Not this year but next year i am hoping to do some traveling around europe back end of summer time. I am now thinking of putting poland as a defo on my route. I know this is a year away but if i do would some of you poles be willing to meet for a pint and then take me down to a game?

 

WK, the stadium will be 15k this year but it's going to be further expanded into 30k in 2006 (next year we'll celebrate 100th anniversary of the club foundation).


Darlo, when you finally decide to go to Kraków my advice is to ask here http://www.wislakrakow.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12&sid=9ad50df1f41d207ecaf1db86eb23f8ae

 

Thank You Macel

 

hello :]

I`m fun of GKS Katowice-small Club (but with good tradition) in the south of Poland.

Unfortunetly We was relegated to second league this year, but it doesn`t important.

I will be with my club FOREVER, and I`m praud of Him!!

(and I know that we will back to premier league next year so be afraid, funs of Legia and Wisla: )

Here is some fotos to show, that in Poland, even on small stadiums(majority in our country) people have great fun!







sorry for my Polish-English
Greetings for all funs from Poland (yes, Legia and Wisla also) and of course my always favourites abroad Club- CELTIC!
Good luck Zuraw!

You`re the best!

 

looks like a great atmosphere - and dont be apologising for your english - you write it far better than most of us could write polish!!!

Football is a beautiful game - uniting people from all around the world. Superb.

 

in Poland, we have a problem with these "farm" teams... clubs in small village towns yet they have a great team and great finiancial support.. they have great management and cash to spend, yet its embarrasing with their very small stadiums and small crowds ( 1-3K a game) ... yet other teams in large cities have no money and when 15K of their fans show up, they see a very poor display of football

 

Do the people supplying financial support make any money out of their teams if they have so few supporters?

 

suprisingly, they do.. two examples are Amica Wronki ( got destroyed by the Rangers in the UEFA cup) and Groclin ( who defeated Hertha Berlin and Man City in hte uefa cup).. both have great sponsors and coaches, they make money from selling their good players.. last summer Amica made around 1 million euro from transfer sales which in polish terms is ALOT of money... they also make money by making it to uefa cup,

 

Murphy, the money from tickets (not to mention merchandise) are only a little part of clubs income in Poland so it's totally different from what you have in Scotland or England. Most of the cash is paid by clubs owners and canal + (owns tv rights). The owners aren't very likely to make any money out of this business and they're pretty happy if they don't suffer much damage. It's just their hobby. Of course, things now change but... very slowly.

 

i saw ur new stadium will what it will b and looks good will better than half the stadiums in the scottish league hail hail wisla go on MAGIC
