Falubaz Zielona Gora v Stal Gorzow in the Ekstraliga. The Derby of the Lubusz Voivodeship, Polish Speedway's fiercest rivalry - not that I need to tell any of you that! Falubaz's W69 stadium is a breathtaking place to watch the sport, even when only 25% full due to Covid restrictions :

Also the first time I've ever seen a tifo and organised ultras at Speedway, which illustrates Falubaz's supporters' reputation as the most fanatical fans in the sport. The whole club comes across as Poland's Green Bay Packers and not just because of the yellow & green colours - I've genuinely never seen any sports crowd sporting quite so much club merchandise :

This was Sparta Wrocław v GKM Grudziądz at Stadion Olimpijski, very impressive again in a different way from W69 :

Thanks both.
Yes Greenlander, it did feel a little bittersweet enjoying the racing so much and not knowing when I'd see the sport again.
To be honest, I might make a trip to Poland to see some more Ekstraliga (or lower levels) before the season ends. The flights, hotels and general expenses were so cheap I'd recommend looking in to it, it's just getting the meeting tickets that is the issue.
