  1. If they are all delivered by courier thats fine and a more reliable service.
  2. The way the post service is working at the moment if not received a week before the event I would contact them and collect them at the Stadium.
  3. By the reports on here I am glad I watched the Olympics instead of this meeting. I tend now to pick and choose the GP meetings I watch live since watching a few this year a couple have been boring.
  4. Because they window shop on the way, the same as they do while driving :lol:
  5. Any publicity like that is good, it may bring in a few rugby supporters to see what this sport is about.
  6. I think you are correct trees, it is a pity that a couple more could not have been arranged, but due to rain offs and riding schedules a one off is understandable. Have always enjoyed meetings between nations, official or not.
  7. The view is fine from the top of the stands. What you will find is that once the meeting starts you will be able to move within the section and quite often nearer the track if you wish. You can do this in most areas but possibly not near the start/finish line, One year we were sat on the bend in front of a large group of Polish supporters who had not only been drinking all day, but also during the whole meeting. They were quite friendly but not all the beer was reaching their mouths. We along with a few others moved to the back of the stand.
  8. The local councils determine the capacity along with, I assume, advice from the elf and safety brigade. Swindons current limit is about 5000 where as in the past crowds have been 2 to 3 times that for test matches. I would imagine the limit is controlled by a number of factors from the number of emergency exits the stadium has and the time it takes for everybody to get out to the number of toilets it has.
  9. How many spectators can Coventry hold, and what are the facilities like.?
  10. I fully agree xmas. I know of one very good youngster who when possible is going to Denmark to get the racing experience. I am sure that he, along with others, would benefit from an 80cc league in the UK. I can remember seeing the sons of riders going round a small track but not allowed to race with each other. Other countries have progressive engine size leagues and this is where the majority of the good riders are coming from.
  11. Thats the name of the pension fund that the accountants set up for the great rider Ove Fundin. As for Denmark winning the World Cup congratulations to them. They included very good young riders who showed what they could do and NP showed up the stupidity of the rules. The joker should either be got rid of or only allowed when 8 or 10 behind. There should be a reserve, or two, who can only take a limited number of rides,
  12. Well done Matt, pity it is not part of a series but with the GPs and the number of rain offs I can understand why it is a one off. The test matches in the past were brilliant and are sadly missed.
  13. Well done Britain, did better than I thought they would and without the mechanical problems we may have won. The meeting was as good as the one on Sat and a credit to the sport. I now have no idea who will win on thursday but with a performance like that of tonight we stand a chance. I just wish we still had the Internationals, as GB v Aus or USA used to be as good. Looking forward to thursday and sat.
  14. GB needs points tonight, Danny continually scores a lot more than Ben, both at home and away.
  15. Have seen that but not seen confirmation of replacement.
  16. Has it been confirmed anywhere that Troy is replacing Darcy tonight, as there is nothing on SWC or Troys twitter
  17. Report on bspa website today Scott wants to ride on Monday and get through to the final.
  18. Following last nights meeting it showed that Niel made the correct choice in selecting Tai over Ben Barker. Unfortunately I still cannot see us getting beyond Thursday.
  19. deadwood, correction jedwood, no I was right the first time. At least you start off with a good laugh.
  20. Would like to see GB in the final but cannot see them getting there. Have looked at the make up of the competition and with the following schedule and the riders GB has it is going to be very difficult. Event 1 winner to final. This is likely to be Poland but Denmark will push them hard and may even pull out a surprise. Event 2 winner to final. This is likely to be Australia if Ward, Holder,Crump and probably Watt are the team choice. Event 3 winner to final. This meeting will probably see GB against either Denmark or Poland. Cannot see GB winning this one. Sweden seeded to final. It comes back to the problem that at the moment GB does not have world beating riders, in a few years maybe but not now.
