I hated the system of having the World Cup in three places. If you do four meetings in a week at 3 different venues in one country, its creates a carnival atmosphere. It worked with Poole and Eastbourne, Wroclaw had a party atmosphere aswell, Denmark however in the last World Cup had a terrible following which was a shame. Personally Im for a Poland/Britain/Sweden World Cup, keep where the markets will sell out the stadiums. Also Sky must be present from the stadium it comes across as a lot more exciting than a GP meeting.

Good point the meetings in poland like most matches in poland were rubbish  :mad:

 

 

Mateusz, a guy from Bydgoszcz on here sent me a few Polish matches. Trust me there is more passing in one heat than there is one meeting in Britain. Reserves past heat leaders, the tracks built for racing because the riders want to race, Jonsson after watching him in Polonia jacket has struck me as one of my favourite current riders.

Perhaps, like F1 tracks, the competition will go to the highest bidding venue? What might Swindon fork out for the honour of hosting the world cup? :unsure:

I'd say the Czech Republic, with the Marketa and Pardubice, should perhaps get a shout at it. But a weak team probably rules that out.

 

Good idea. The Czech need a world class rider to be discovered soon, Poland is the easier option with so many FIM-approved tracks, decent views from most positions. (Bydgoszcz is one of the worst)

But would the Czechs want it?It's good as an idea,but if a country isn't strong would they risk holding an event they might not get into the final of?At the moment only Poland,Sweden and Denmark would be good bets to qualify.Britain should,but you wouldn't bet too much on it.As was said the attendances for a week in Denmark were not too good,which leaves Sweden and Poland with Britain.After a few years of that it will get pretty boring especially if one of them(Sweden or Britain,possibly)gets weaker.Can see it being held in more than one country
