* Note about Wroclaw match : The point-scorers shown above are taken from the Speedway Star 03.11.1956.
Charles McKay has a marked-up programme of this meeting, which has different point scores and some different
riders, though the result is the same. The programme has :- Poland : Malinowski 8, Kapala 8, Kaiser 7, Kupczynski 7,
Teodorowicz 5, Wrozynski 3, Tkocz 0. England : Fisher 11, Hagon 9, Maidment 6, Brine 3, Broadbank 3, Maynard
1, Wright 1. Can anybody help to sort this out?
{short description of image} These programmes suggest that the series was actually Poland Div.1 v England Touring Team,
though it was reported in the UK as Poland v England.

This makes sense, since the England team was
both weak and unofficial.
