Joanne Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Doesn't look good for me. Can't go to Bydgoszsz or Italy. Can go to Wroclaw for first one and World Cup, will probably go to Czech also. So really its the cheap GPs for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner_girl4eva Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Already planning the trip to Lonigo! Just so long as that provisional turns to confirmed! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes Lonigo looks like the one I might aim for, whats the best airline to use and airport to arrive at in Italy as not too sure where Lonigo is ! Is there going to be any cheap airlines going there or nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Having a quick look on a map Verona looks the closest, Ryanair fly there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro2107 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 ......... whats the best airline to use and airport to arrive at in Italy as not too sure where Lonigo is ! Is there going to be any cheap airlines going there or nearby? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lonigo is located in north-east of Italy, approx. 70 km. west to Venice. Nearest airport is Verona at 30 km. Ryan Air have regular flights form Luton and Stanstead to Treviso (105 km.), Brescia (90 km.) and Bergamo (147 km.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Interesting to see they only plumped for two man-made tracks. Are BSI learning? Yet still no venue for the GB round of the World Cup. I think it will be Poole. I was thinking that maybe City Of Manchester Stadium could be a good venue for Speedway. Its in the North instead of the South plus its had an athletics track in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've got a quote of £81.96 return to Venice with easyjet flying out Friday returning Monday flying via birmingham, but if you fly to Verona that would be nearer. Guess it just depends on which airlines fly from your local airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 10th SEPTEMBER ITALY VICENZA-LONIGO PROVISIONAL I guess it's time for The Fonz to dust down those kevlars again. Who is going in 2006 in GP of LATVIA ??? I've seen rumours that they were interested in holding a round. Can you give any indication whether this is likely to happen, or just a dream of the Latvian promoters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BilaHora Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) Mr Hazzman Regarding the City of Manchester stadium, I believe that the athletics track was removed to enable additional seating to be put in place. As far as I am aware, the running track was removed and extra seating installed beneath ground level. This could limit the available area to install a speedway track.

We have very good stadium, but there are many things to do in other.
