tomhaines Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hmm, some interesting ramblings in there about a possible return for the German GP and interest from Spain about holding a GP at the Neu Camp. My Lordz! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Would fear that 90,000 of the 108,000 seats might stay unsold unless they race it at the smaller stadium within the complex where Barcelona's second team play <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Barcelona's B team stadium is called the Miniestadi ( ) However, that only holds 16,500. From the picture it seems that the pitch comes right up to the seats (No room for a speedway track without ripping up a substancial ammount of turf, can't see FCB agreeing to that one!) If these Barcelona rumors are true, then the Olympic Stadium (56,000) seems a more realistic option. Much more of a manageable size than the Nou Camp and has an atheletics track meaning a speedway track could be constructed with minimal damage to the pitch. Like Nou Camp, it is used week in week out for Football, by RCD Espanyol. I hope it is more than rumours. Cardiff, Prague & Barcelona would be a nice trio for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffster Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 There is also the Under-21 World Cup next season. 2 semi-finals in Poland (Rybnik) and Denmark. Final at .... PARDUBICE!!!!!! (Yes!) (Which will hopefully tie in with Golden Helmet weekend!) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, mate, it will...... However, the dates I was given for next year were : Sept 23 - Junior Golden Helmet (1900 hours) Sept 24 - World Under 21 Team Cup Final (1230 hours) Sept 25 - Golden Helmet (1230 hours) Sept 26 - Tomicek Memorial (1900 hours) However, now that the 2005 GP dates have been announced, it seems like the Golden Helmet weekend will be put back a week......

TwoMinuteWarning Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Should be a great weekend, Jeff ... whenever it is! I hope GB enter the U-21 World Cup - though it's fair to say we are pretty weak at that level at the moment. Prospects are great, though, in 3 or 4 years time.

Guest BilaHora Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 All I suppose part of the thinking behind the World Team Championship having elimination rounds in England and Sweden is to place the Poles in the race off meeting, thus guaranteeing a larger turnout. I would guess the major problem would be if Poland were eliminated in the elimination rounds. As regards the ten meetings in the Grand Prix series, I would guess this is to accommodate another meeting in either Denmark or the United Kingdom. It would be good, in my opinion, to balance the ratio of temporary tracks to permanent tracks - five of each.

More chance being held at the Causeway Stadium in High Wycombe <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would guess that a lot of dates are "TBA" simply because Benfield have not yet concluded negotiations with the stadiums they want to stage the GP's in.... I would hope that the 2005 GP Calendar will be confirmed by the end of November at the latest....We just have to wait & see..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Snackette Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 The dates as listed previusly now appear on the BSI website. However it is worth noting that the GPs scheduled for 9th July and 24th September are "reserve dates". The site goes on to say "The two ‘reserve’ dates are interchangeable, therefore a Grand Prix will be held on one of these dates, this will be confirmed by the end of November." Consquently judging by that, the GP series could be done and dusted by 10th September. This would of course free up the weekend of the Czech Golden Helmet.

iris123 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 well according to the dates mentioned in Poland there is no G.P on 9th july .The last G.P is 24th september in Poland,Probably Bydgoszcz,but at the mo has a question mark against it.But the so does Krsko for Slowenia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Snackette Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I think the BSI site is probably a tad more reliable! For more info go to: http://www.speedwayworld.tv/en/sgp/a3751 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I reckon when the BSI site gets up to date it will probably read as announced in Poland.With only the G.P on the 10th to be confirmed Just hope its somewhere near Hamburg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
