I guess Holder and Jonsson were not to know what would happen after many races on it? Was the temperature an issue with the starting gate, a few people mentioned how cold it was?

I'm sorry I didn't mean given away, I mean they were very cheap for a World Championship meeting, "given away" is a "figure of speech". Perhaps you can tell me if the cost of the tickets was effectively subsidised by the PZM? Or am I completely wrong? The cheapest tickets were 49zl = £8.86

I'm wrong person to ask KL or Cardiff :-) I know what u r saying BUT the riders are in the hands of the organisers, if this happens again and there is no guarantee that it won't, then what! The big stadiums aren't worth the hassle perhaps! What I am saying is any decent stadium full of passionate fans is a buzz. They had to basically give half the tickets away at Warsaw to get the crowd they did, the PZM paid a fortune to make that meeting work and were totally let down by BSI!! I think the track was only going to deteriorate more and more and the riders knew that.

Depends on the track! A full Kings Lynn provides a great atmosphere, any full stadium is great surely?

Perhaps he doesn't fancy the tracks!! Could be like Emil and doesn't want the hassle.

Aren't ya gonna get rid of your other thread m8? Couple of good guests, very much looking forward to the meeting :-)

No, not in the least funny!! Don't go :-)

No waaaaaay! The fight is on :-)

You beat me to it by two mins lol, will delete/hide my thread.

It was hard on the fans but I am glad the riders did what they did, they shouldn't have to put up with these crap tracks.As for a few on here saying they have ridden worse, do you think they were happy with them? Of course not! They had to make a stand and they did, their bodies, their equipment, their lives, their livelihoods, none of the organisers were putting these things on the line like the riders. They deserve better.

Someone has tweeted that the PZM may be taking legal action. Anyone know any more?

Slightly different, 23 blokes running about kicking a ball on grass to speedway bikes racing ....

I personally cannot see how the FIM\BSI can say 100% that this won't happen again on a temp track, laying the track is not an exact science!

I would rather they have just a few GPS on great racing tracks. Perhaps I should add, where they sell all the tickets at a sensible price rather than give half of them away to fill the stadium ala Warsaw and Cardiff to a certain degree.

No comparison I suppose I'm saying. I personally would never watch WWF just because it is what it is lolSome fans here are really vocal and get behind their teams, others just quietly watch and appreciate the action but no that doesn't make for any atmosphere!

But who takes WWF seriously, nobody with a brain! It is just entertainment, not a sport.

Don't even try to defend this one!!

Yes at the end of the day our sport suffers big time, the Speedway World Championship should be taken away from this company surely, they cannot keep getting away with this! There was NO EXCUSE for the faulty starting gate as they should have had a replacement or two and as for the track, been there done that, riders have the injuries to show for it! Disgusting, get rid! OMG!!!

Oh dear, BSI have ballsed up, it is more serious than that though, they have completely messed up and are making a mockery of OUR SPORT!! This World Championship needs to be given back to the speedway nations!!

Yeah me too, long track that is. And stand on the straight, the speeeeed lol

That's curious then!!

Ole is great isn't he!!

Oh crikey, they ought to have shipped the Cardiff stuff over there ....

hNo

Dunno how I would think, pretty peed off he's given us a miss this season have to admit.
