Firstly new to the forum so apologies if this has been covered.
So as more of a casual speedway fan these days (since Bradford closed) I'm not really up to speed on all the ins and outs of whats going on in the Speedway World.
So just a question - why so many bad SGP's? You have 16 of the best riders in the world and if you put them on a half decent track you get a fantastic meeting. So why do the 'powers that be' persist in sending GP's to Prague, Copenhagen and NZ (OK I can sort of understand NZ) where you can pretty muich bank on the fact that the racing will be rubbish. I'm also pretty sure the future rounds at Slovenia, Italy and Latvia* will also be equally depressing viewing.
Surely the most important part of the SGP "product" is the quality of the racing that seems to be let down by the choice of venue. If the FIM want to send speedway to less enthusiastic parts of the world (which in principle seems a good idea) surely they need to select a venue capable of producing a quality speedway match.
* Just a note some of those countries might do decent GP's I just have a bad memory
