Hazzman Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Suggestions of an "early" GP at Cardiff in 2008 tie in with suggestions on the Australian speedway discussion list in the last few days that BSI are looking to hold the first 2008 GP indoors at the Telstra Dome, Melbourne, 24 Feb 2008; the second in the USA on 1 March; and the 3rd at Cardiff on 8 or 15 March 2008. We shall see. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Interesting, BSI will have to progress in these two countries if they want to make the GP bigger than it currently is. But the money stakes will have to be bumped up and a major sponsor to come on board. Peter Keynon of Chelsea was there on Saturday, Chelsea to invest in Speedway?!?

Last-2-1st Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 You know guys and gals, this forum can provide some stimulating and topical information, and with the size( yes I know that size isnt supposed to matter)of the forum shouldnt we, with the depth of knowledge of our members directly ask the questions that need to be asked. Should we not have a VOICE who we could ask, if all in agreement, to ask the questions that we (think)need to know. There are so many of us wanting to know if the rumour is true about 2008, what the date for 2007 is, why dont we just ask? Each one of us should have a contact who knows someone, or at least knows someone who knows someone, with the depth of the forum, surley we can get the person who does know and get somekind of answer?

Gemini Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I must admit I did email Benfield Sports with a bit of praise following the G.P. Although I commented that the chance of the 2008 G.P. being in March wasn't going down very well with members of the speedway-forum, I didn't actually ask if it was true. I will send another email asking, also a request for the date of the 2007 G.P. If I get a reply I will let you know.

TwoMinuteWarning Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 if they are planning that far ahead why not gisa the date for cardiff 2007 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 'cos the FIM and BSI want to get all their hotel rooms booked first, before the peasants start taking 'em all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb the Snail Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 if they are planning that far ahead why not gisa the date for cardiff 2007 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good plan sirmatty! Any chance that you could tolerate a Budgie in your chosen establishment next year? I think that I got back from Edinburgh last year quicker than I managed from Cardiff last weekend!

shazzybird Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 after 2010 speedways spiritual home Wembley should just about be completed.can't wait for us to ditch Wales so we can descend on a proper Speedway city. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah right cos they really want speedway at Wembley don't they! Why not have the British GP at Cardiff and the English GP at Wembly? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because Wembley do not want speedway there, else they would of accomodated us wouldn't they, anyway Wales is a great place for a weekend not sure about March though, may well have to watch it in Dorset if this is the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulus1967 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Just a little update re Cardiff 2007. Spoke to the hotel Holiday Inn they should find out the date for next years British GP at the end of the month. I will let you know if not already posted 09/06/2007 is looking promising.

Gemini Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I like the sound of the 9th too then I can make better arrangements for the dogs if the G.P. is not at the end of a holiday week and they are both already with us, as happened this year. I don't want to put Molly in kennels again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Edinburgh pal claims their usual hotel has contacted the trip organiser with a date for next year, and it isn't the 9th!! I don't know if the "usual hotel" is the Holiday Inn though.
