Gp Qualifier Berwick 16/6
The Know replied to Warm&Cosy's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
yep agree 100%. i dont think there will be pro speedway in the uk in 10 years. regarding poland speedway is large due to it being a backward country in modern terms. but this has changed over last few years and there is far more things for people to do. maybe in 10/15 years poland will be where the uk is now regarding speedway. -
Gp Qualifier Berwick 16/6

I agree with most of your points here, but ! yes they may have some talented people but they all have a lot of untalented people. During my 8 years with BSI they have cocked up so many times its untrue, the last one being sweden last year yet they still have the cheek to ask about this year Customer service is very very poor. I remember when i first met Paul in 2003 at our offices. didnt have a clue about what speedway was but the moto for bsi was we always under promise but always over achive. Well i can tell you in all the years they have over promised and under achived. regardless of this i have always stuck up for the bsi but no more after 2011. -
well maybe not always ugly but compared to the monster girls in the little skirt there is no contest

100% agree. speedway will never attract this kind of fan as they cannot buy and use a similar product on the road or motocross track etc. look at the main players in speedway . Jawa, in other motocycle sports the only place you would see this make is maybe on the jet wash . very poor product. gm, the most popular engine but yet again very poor design and not really been improved for years. then again to be better than jawa i suppose they dont need to. none of the big companies will ever get onboard as no money it it for them. KTM could if they wanted to and would produce the best engine in very little time. as red bull is there main sponsor maybe this would be good competion for monster -
yes and no, yes popular with kids and teenagers and great brand for motorsport no, dont think will bring younger people in. not to uk speedway anyway. speedway in the uk is far from cool no matter who sponsors it the presentation of sgp will be great with monster on board, far better than the drab bsi one we have had the last few years. 4 normally ugly polish pole dancers twiddling a brolley

I agree monster will be very good indeed for the SGP. Its not just british speedway which treats its sponsors bad, SGP do a good job at it to Had BSI on the phone yesterday again asking what were doing this year ? Umm ! think they would of got the message by now, bugger all i think now that would be good -

not sure i agree with holder getting stronger. he does not seem to be able to go a whole season before tailing off. -
dont really think it will help domestic speedway or intice more youngsters to take it up.sad but true. speedway is not cool for young kids. will benifit sgp no doudt no end and is really good for them in long term, just depends if there generally up umm selves useless staff stuff it up for them. people do drink it, even my little boy does unless i catch him. over two billion dollars in sales per year and fast growing.

i agree Phil for a county the size of the US you would think there would be more riders from there. speedway is just so little known over there. they think speedway is nascar trouble with speedway in the uk is there is so little places to go ride for kids and its very much if ya face fits sport with uk promoters. motocross ya buy a bike and go ride. yes there should be more uk speedway riders. yep very hot in july but nice evening meeting be great. i am happy to watch speedway in most places in the good old USA -

as you say no money in it for japs and there market share has dropped 20 % year on year recently. ktm can and would build a speedway motor as they are now the worlds largest builder of off road motocycles. think it will be a hard job to get kids to swap from motocross to speedway in the states as motocross/supercross so big and popular citrus bowl florida be good as only short trip from the house to get to, prefer july though -
think you are a bit behind the times with coca cola its not fairly well known but a major player in motosports second to red bull and fast catching umm and all the super markets as far as i know stock it. think they averaged 500 million dollars per quater last year.

I believe bsi need bigger profile sponsors to attract more of the same. yes the money will only benifit sgp but img want to make as much money out of it as possible as is right as all companies do. there is only so long you can milk poland hopefully prize money will rise but who knows. monster could be putting in very little cash just products and adding to the show presetation wise. were have to wait and see. i know how much you can buy a gp for or be a series sponsor, will put on here but need read contract first make sure allowed to i dont believe you can call monster a moderately recognisable name, they are pretty much number one in motorsport with red bull. everyone from 5 to 55 know the name. not sticking up for bsi as most people know my feelings for them just think you are wrong on that point.

wont help domestic speeday in uk one bit will help the sgp as the monster image is massive and very well funded on the sponsorship side. -
bit disappointed to say the least. expected US gp not a fizzy drink deal also product tastes rubbish, even pros dont drink it but cans full of water and its not good for ya. on positive note good company with high profile, done wonders for motocross and supercross so should be good deal. plus they have the best promo girls not like the normal sgp mingers lets hope bsi use to good effect and dont -iss umm off like most of there past sponsors also could be some conflict as some of the riders have red bull sponsors and this has caused problems in motocross.

sounds good and announced being from the capital of bsi speedway
-
is that due to not being able to detect the between moveing forward or racing due to the speed being pretty much the same

I see in the star this week greg is talking about a US gp in the near future. Will be about time to I think a lot of people would travel to one and take in a holiday. Fantastic staduims also for them to run in
