Last week, the Polish club Motor Lublin announced that they will not release Jaroslaw Hampel to Sweden for matches in the Lions during the Polish playoffs.
The Lions believed that Hampel was in breach of contract and considered the possibility of fining him.
Now Lublin also stops Vetlanda's Dominik Kubera in Vetlanda's quarter final against Rospiggarna on Tuesday.
And Gorzow does not let go of the duo Bartosz Zmarzlik and Szymon Wozniak.
- We have received this information from Poland for a long time.
That is the reality we live in. Poland controls and does not want to risk their drivers getting hurt, and Sweden is no longer a top nation in speedway, says Conny Ivarsson.
Must pick up disadvantage
Not being able to match the best team can cost Vetlanda dearly in the quarter-final return against Rospiggarna on Tuesday.
The Hallstavik team has a six point lead (48-42) before the match.
- Clearly we have ended up in a difficult situation.
It is very frustrating as a team leader.
You want to win and drive with the best team you have.
For drivers, this is not a problem.
I talk to them all the time.
They want to drive here, but the club management in Poland says no and then they will not come, says Conny Ivarsson who now has to match the same team that drove the first quarter final also in Tuesday's match.
