If you have kept your ticket stub complain to BSI. They should give you complementary tickets for next year really. Photo

I understand there was a flayer with the tickets this year that there will be Juniors at the meeting? What a fantastic idea. Wish they had said this before as I for one would have be tempted to go this year if I had known there would have been Juniors racing. Would rather watch the Juniors, future champions in a pre-main event than listen to some singers. All the under 15 should be invited to go though. Understand if only say the top 8 can ride due to time and space but think it is important to invite all the riders.

I was wondering the same thing!

Please post the interview here or not at all.

I have been asked to post the following on behalf of the VSRA... The VSRA (Veteran Speedway Riders Association) has been given the opportunity to create a Speedway Museum in the grounds of the Paradise Wildlife Park, Broxbourne in Hertfordshire; about 15 mins drive from Rye House Speedway. The owner of the wildlife park, ex rider Peter Sampson, has made the required space available, it will require a great deal of funds and work to put up the buildings to house the collection. We have sponsors for about £25,000 but we will need something nearing twice that amount, so we are looking for donations and fund raising and when the time comes to start on the work we will be looking for volunteer workers for bricklaying, carpentering, plumbing etc. If anyone can possibly help with donations, cheques can be made out to the VSRA and sent to the secretary Vic White, 90 Ruskin Avenue, Long Eaton, Notts. NG10 3HX. All donations will be acknowledged by post. Please make offers of physical help to the same address. A book containing all the names of people who help will be on show at the Museum. Those who have bought the Once a Jolly Swagman video or DVD from me may be interested to know that £5.00 from each purchase will be donated to the fund. For any more info you can contact George Barclay, Tel 020 8592 3361 or myself at Vikingukvideo@aol.com Should our Quest fail all donations will be returned to source. Thanks Alan Hodkinson.

Joanne don't know if this will help or not but if you are going for seats you need to tick the seat box rather than enter the number of seats you want. The SEATS COUNTER just displays the number of box you have ticked.

On sale now and selling fast for top seats. http://www.ticketstream.cz/pls/czech/book....9&start_group=1

Hotel accommodation in Copenhagen

Looks like they are not for sale yet as I pointed out at the start of this topic.

Erm yes, I new that last week BUT! they emailed me and said "you are really good spy - you found Speedway but presale start not yet! We have it on the web site because organizators want to check it - yes, date is wrong!!!!" Hopefully it is open now though.

LINK REMOVED... Message from ticketstream "you are really good spy - you found Speedway but presale start not yet!

Phil. Happy to rip a VHS from my DVD copy. Drop me an email with your address. Cheers Pete Hi, Tried email you a couple of times but your hotmail address keeps coming back as invalid. Can you email me Thanks, Phil

Isn't Lonigo it still 'PROVISIONAL' ?

Anyone got a spare copy of the Prague 2004 GP Video they would be willing to post to me?

Looks like they have all gone now. At a wild guess they was a small allocation of tickets which were priced for the Czech market as I believe speedway is fair bit cheaper over there? Did you buy any then Rob or are you going for the Grandstand seats?

Where did you sit last year and can you walk around the inside stadium or are the different sections close off?

I wonder if some have gone on a pre-sale already at a price in Czech although this could have been the 2004 tickets price for the Czech ? http://www.ticketstream.cz/pls/czech/book....3&start_group=1 This last years price list in Euro's Grandstand A.... Price 65 EUR + 2 EUR service charge = 67 EUR Grandstand B..... Price 55 EUR + 2 EUR service charge =57 EUR Grandstand C..... Price 45 EUR + 2 EUR service charge =47 EUR Grandstand D..... Price 32 EUR + 2 EUR service charge =34 EUR Standing... Price 18 EUR + 1,70 EUR service charge =19.70 EUR

Yes going for a week, a few days before the GP so can spend a bit of time looking around Prague and then practice on the Friday afternoon. Trial run in getting on the right tram / metro and finding the stadium! ready for the GP on the Saturday. and then a few days to recover!

Yep (Sorry forgot to put link to airline in.) My week in prague is booked

Alpharooms are a good hotel accommodation site to book through. (The company is actually based in Sheffield.)
