I'm not sure but I doubt it, would be a bit unfair taking Rickys place in the meeting after a BSPA ruling.

Same for us, its a lot more expensive to fly out of Manchester due to the taxes and surcharges, thats why we always fly from Stanstead or Luton.

Off the top of my head can't remember riders names but there has been quite a few bad injuries at Sheffield over the last few years, wouldn't call it a safe track. One rider broke both his legs.

There won't be one at Stockholm again as they had a new running track installed. I liked Gothenburg but the DFDS ferry doesn't go there anymore from Newcastle!

Best places to fly to are Verona or Venice. We fly to Venice as the flights are cheaper and more frequent but stay in Verona (no where to stay in Lonigo, its quite a small place). To then get to Lonigo you really need a hire car, its quite in the middle of no where.

Depends how you look at it, would of been nice to see Crump there defending his title, but Poole are the first visitors the week after.

Scott Nicholls and Phil Morris are the final two riders to be added, so complete lineup is : Andreas Jonsson Scott Nicholls Chris Harris Simon Stead Joe Screen Kaj Laukkanen Adam Skornicki Ryan Fisher Jason Lyons Gary Havelock Shane Parker James Wright Kevin Doolan Ricky Ashworth Joel Parsons Phil Morris

Add Gary Havelock to the list. Just two more to be named now. Also Ivan Mauger will be guest of honour.

Can't comment on Travel Plus, never used them, never will, don't need to, but I understand some people like everything planned for them. But that travel agent price is ridiculous, you can fly to Sweden for under £100 easily. We do a lot of GP's because each one never really costs us more then about £150 each.

German GP is probably one of the easiest to fly to, you can fly to Dortmund, Dusseldorf or Cologne, all pretty much the same distance (Cologne is slightly further). Lots of cheap airlines fly to them so you should find a decent deal, we are flying to Dusseldorf with Air Berlin, £45 each. Check out http://www.skyscanner.net great site to find the cheapest flights.

So the lineup so far is : Andreas Jonsson Chris Harris Jason Lyons Shane Parker Simon Stead Joe Screen Kaj Laukkanen Adam Skornicki Ryan Fisher James Wright Kevin Doolan Ricky Ashworth Joel Parsons 3 more to be named, could just do with a couple more decent Elite League riders.

No you won't find anywhere in Cardiff now, Newport probably your best bet, last year we ended up staying just the other side of the bridge outside Bristol.

My quote was : It's got nothing to do with Crump not riding for Belle Vue, its all to do with the Poole pair being so strong. I don't think Poole will do that well in the league as their tail is too long, but in this meeting they will be unstoppable, there isn't another pair that will touch them unless one of them gets injured or they have engine failure in the semi or final. If Belle Vue are in the meeting then we will be there, and like I said I think we will do better than quite a few of the pairs out there (but probably not quite make the semis), Joe Screen was a track record holder round Kings Lynn and you know what Simon Stead can do on the fast tracks.

Where did I say the Belle Vue riders have no chance? Yes they have the lowest averages and will probably not be in the meeting, but if they are I don't think they will do too bad, both ride Kings Lynn very well and could beat most of the pairs round there. They won't touch Crump and Pedersen though.

You can only buy family tickets for the cheapest price band, thats why only upper tier is coming up. A long as your not afraid of heights then its a great view up there, you should be able to get quite a low row too at the moment, try each block to see which has the lowest row available. Seating plan here : http://www.speedwayworld.tv/cardiff2007/seatingplan.gif But like everyone is saying there isn't a bad seat anywhere, just down to prsonal preference.

Just like Poole was easy for us to get to last year?

Thought they are suppose to be neutral venues, Somerset isn't very neutral.

Looks like the holders won't have the chance to defend it then, unless we get the seeded spot which I very much doubt. Not much point in this meeting, might as well give it to Poole now unless either Crump or Pedersen gets injured.

They want to get big crowds for these events but hold them at a neutral venue, to have it on a Thursday is ridiculous, £20 won't help either. Won't be many people there.

This is the third time you've asked this mate. Its up to you, tickets don't sell out so you can get them there if you want, but we always buy them online and print them out, saves having to queue up there.

We are in D2 front row too. Looks like it should be decent view as it is raised about 10 foot or so, not like Cardiff which goes down to pitch level.

Apparently Lyons came 2nd, must of beat Crump!

Apparently Leigh Adams won the meeting, not much else known at the moment.

Last few races didn't happen in his testmonial at Belle Vue, it was called off after about 10 heats off the top of my head, was a mud bath. Rained pretty much all day, badly affected the crowd, hope he got a good crowd in Mildura.

Sorry to sound negative all the time but you are living in cloud cuckoo land. The only places that have got 20,000 or more the last few years are Cardiff, Copenhagen and Wroclaw. Even Bydgoszcz only got 17,000 last year, Prague doesn't even get 10,000 anymore and thats full of Poles and lots of Brits. I was at the last German GP at Berlin, the weather might not have helped as it poured down but there was only a couple of thousand there. Gelsenkirchen is going to look so empty, but we will be there.
