I want to go to one of the GP's next year but not Cardiff as I want to try a different GP. Could somebody let me know which GP, is the easy to get to, has a good race track and plenty of good accommodation nearby.
They wouldn't need to take some sort of international agreement, they could just not let riders ride in britan if they are riding in two other counties already.
There would be less wage bills if they only let riders ride in two countries therefore a lot of the GP star would ride in sweden and Poland. If the points limit was lowered, teams wouldn't have many top expensive riders.This would mean the league would be alot weaker and the name might need to be changed from elite to 1st division.
There might need to be a third division of 8 teams in which teams like Buxton, Sittingbourne and Weymouth could be in. There would also be teams from the current CL.
Stoke, Oxford, Birmingham, Sheffield and kings Lynn may change there mind with a lowered points limit. If it was around 38 or 36 then they would only need to change about 3 riders. This goes for Sittingbourne and Buxton in the PL they would only need to change about 3 or 4 riders.
On plant speedway there were talks of only having 2 leagues next year with the wealthier PL clubs joining the EL. I think this would work if they also did the following….
1.Only let riders ride in two countries, so there would be less use of rider replacement and guests.
2.Reduce the points limit in both leagues, so teams would be more even.
3.Set the admission prices for all clubs in the EL to £12 adults and PL to £10 adults.
The leagues would probably look like this.

Thinking of taking a ferrie across from Hull to Rotterdam then getting a train there. Ferrie tickets are about £70 return and that includes a cabin for 2 nights. Train tickets are about £25 return and I think I am going to get the £30 tickets for the stadium, so in total £125.
Cravan Park was the best stadium for viewing but like you say the track was a bit narrow for over taking.
Just last week I went to look at the Hedon Aerodrome site and it seems like a great place to have a speedway track. It's a little out of town and there might be a few noise complaints, but if somebody really wanted to I think they could get planning permission for track there.
