BluePusher Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 BSI, rights holders of the world championship FIM Speedway World Cup (SWC) and FIM Speedway Grand Prix Series (SGP), has today announced tickets for the FIM ASL Freight Movements Speedway World Cup Race Off and Final - taking place at Smallmead Stadium, Reading, on 20 July and 22 July respectively - are now on sale. This is the first time the stadium at Reading has hosted the world championship event and British fans will be able to see the top speedway nations in the world compete for the Ove Fundin Trophy. Until the 01 July 2006, a special combined Race Off and Final Ticket is available for just £35 (adult ticket). For the Race Off (20 July) any paying adult can bring up to two children under the age of 16 FREE. John Postlethwaite, Chief Executive, BSI, commented: “The Race-Off and Final of the World Cup has traditionally provided thrilling racing. Last year Poland lifted the trophy and showed what a difference having the support of the home fans makes. As an added incentive we are offering all paying adults who come to the Race Off the chance to bring up to two children free. We also have a special combined adult ticket for the Race Off and Final for those who book their tickets before 01 July. “We hope the British fans will come out in force for both events and help make this year a memorable occasion for not only the Brits, but all the teams involved. The World Cup is a terrific spectacle that no speedway fan should miss.” Britain last hosted the World Cup Race Off and Final in 2004 when Britain missed out on a gold medal by just one point. This year Great Britain face current world champions Poland, Australia and Finland at the opening event in Rybnik, Poland on 16 July. The winner of this event qualifies straight to the Final, the second and third placed teams will go to the Race Off to compete for one of two places up for grabs in the Final. Neil Middleditch, Great Britain team manager commented: “When Great Britain last hosted the World Cup two years ago we saw what it meant to the supporters and we know from experience how it can lift the riders when they have the home crowd behind them. There’s no doubt it’s worth a few extra points being at home and we must be in a position to take advantage of that.” FIM ASL FREIGHT MOVEMENTS SPEEDWAY WORLD CUP TICKET PRICES RACE OFF – 20 JULY 2006, Smallmead Stadium, Reading, 1915h Adult £20 Child (U-16): FREE!

Joanne Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Looking at the website, it looks like we can't buy them online. What's the use of that having it on the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter S. Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi, How difficult would it be for a dane to find his way from central London to Smallmead Stadium, Reading by train/bus ?? and what is the approx. travel time ? Hope to hear from someone who knows. Thanks Peter S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Quite easy to get a train from central London to Reading station, probably take about 30 mins. Will probably be easiest to get a taxi then to the track, don't think it would cost that much. Have a look here for trains : http://www.thetrainline.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) There's loads of trains to Reading from Paddington Station. Get a tube to there and you'll have no problems reaching Reading. It's the first stop as long as you get a fast train. There's normally a line of taxis waiting at Reading station.

Peter S. Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thanks Rob, Not many excuses for not doing a 3 day London trip and see the SWC race-off and Final. Thanks Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZKZ Kitten Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I need a ticket for my sister that is still 16 and will be turning 17 in September. Does it mean she is still in U-16 or 16 does not count? Anyone having a place for two Polish girls we've got to crush somewhere for these few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy moore Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 If she is 16 that is too old for a kids ticket i think so she will pay adult price,it says on the Builldogs site that kids go free under the age of 15 for their meetings but not sure if that is the same info for the SWC.

SCB Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Kitten, get her a childs ticket! They're not going to check her age, if they do, tell her to take a year off her date of birth and she'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZKZ Kitten Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 How do they check it? All she can show is her passport as this is the only ID she has so far so we cannot really change it there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 How do they check it? All she can show is her passport as this is the only ID she has so far so we cannot really change it there... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And she should not take her passport to the meeting anyway! what if her purse was stolen? Anyway, there will be plenty of us there that know you and will vouch that your little sister is only 15! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartfordHammer Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I'm hoping to go to this, though not quite sure yet. Gonna have to talk to me dad about it! Hopefully if I do go I'll finally get to meet some of you lot, I haven't actually met ANYONE yet. Maybe it's because I'm shy, maybe it's because me dad's with me, maybe it's because I don't go much! But that's not the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
