History[edit]
In 2004, in an attempt to revive the city's rich speedway traditions, a new club called "PSŻ Poznań" was created by local speedway fans, after over a decade of absence of the sport in the area. In 2006 the club noted its first start in National Team Championships in which they came 2nd in the Second League (3rd division) and won promotion to the First League after beating KSM Krosno in a promotion play-off. The club won its first individual medal in 2007 when Daniel Pytel was third in Individual U-21 Polish Championship. A year later, Adam Skórnicki won in the Individual Polish Championship Final.
After having major problems with the stadium's owners Olimpia and excessive rent fees, the club was left homeless. With no other potential venues in the area, the club failed to enter a team for the 2012 season. Although the club did not cease to exist, it ceased competing since then, focusing on finding a suitable venue. The club campaigned for the Olimpia stadium, which in the meantime fell into complete disrepair and ruin, owned by the Polish police, to be taken over by the city council. Upon lengthy but ultimately successful takeover by the city, the club began to repair the stadium under a new project called Sportowy Golaj, a joint venture with mountain biking enthusiasts and the Poznań Patriots american football team. The complete rebuilding of the stadium was completed in 2015, with the first competitions scheduled for that same year. In 2014 and 2015, a new team has been assembled and PSŻ is expected to compete at senior level once again in the 2016 season.
Stadium[edit]
The "Olimpia Poznań Stadium" is located on ulica Warmińska 1. It contains 20,000 seats. The track is 397 metres long and has a granite surface. The track record was made by Adam Skórnicki (66.27 sec on 10 August 2008).
