rabbit Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Then why not arrange from the start to hold it at an established stadium that isn't in dire, immediate need of alteration ie Poole, Sheffield, Peterborough, all of which have staged successful international events in the past?Regards <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't know about the other stadiums, but Poole weren't even asked if they wanted to stage any of the rounds this time around.

newbieoldboy Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I totaly agree that the World Cup should not be at Smallmead Stadium this year. As I have said before their are other stadiums that would be better and I don't know why they weren't chosen when BSI found out it couldn't be at Brandon. But I have just got fed up with the constant Ill informed guess's that It's all a fix so BSI make more money. As for any coments about the track all speedway fans know their home track is the best and all others are rubbish. but Readings has the perfect shape alot of others don't and it doesn't matter what the racing serface is like week in week out the track whether it be Reading, Poole, Kings Lynn, Glasgow or where ever, will be "created" for the World Cup by Ole Olsen Not the track curator working under guidence from the Promotion and riders.

SuzieQ Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have been to Reading 4 times this season and whilst the overall look of the place may not be too pleasing to the eye and the ladies toilets leave a lot to be desired, the track itself is a great size and shape etc for the SWC! Yes there are plenty of stadiums around that have much better amenities but that is not what speedway is about! I was in Denmark for the SWC rounds there and believe you me that left more than enough to be desired......... Trust me it was not pretty in Outrup! a few portaloos that we had to share with the men (YUK) and didn't even dare to stand on the top of the back straight as that looked straight down behind into the (what I can only assume was) make shift Gents! not a pretty view! However, putting all that aside the racing was great (especially the race-off on the Thursday with Team GB winning) We have to accept that the Race-off and Final is to be held at Reading, just go along and support our boys!

Rico Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 We have to accept that the Race-off and Final is to be held at Reading, just go along and support our boys! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, after the rumoured capacity numbers I heard tonight, there won't be many people in the stadium for either meeting. As I don't want to appear to be scaremongering, perhaps someone should ask just how many tickets are going to be available. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have been to Reading 4 times this season and whilst the overall look of the place may not be too pleasing to the eye and the ladies toilets leave a lot to be desired, Can I assume from that, that you consider the Gents toilets to be acceptable Tabs? As I don't want to appear to be scaremongering, perhaps someone should ask just how many tickets are going to be available. OK, here goes - does anyone know the number of tickets available for the SWC Semi-Final and Final at Reading please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yes there are plenty of stadiums around that have much better amenities but that is not what speedway is about! So right Sue, as a fan I couldn't give too hoots if the track was in the middle of field as long as I could see the racing, amenities are very low on my list, it's the racing that counts!!

Last time I was at Reading the female toilets were awful. Without getting too technical I am happy to hovver over the loo without sitting but when your trousers are down at your ankles and they are getting soaked by the 'liquid' -on the floor then I feel a little bit of work needs to be done. And being a lady of tender years Im afraid I cant hold on. Especially as we will need to be there 4 hours prior to park!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 And being a lady of tender years Im afraid I cant hold on Best start practising from now til the day Just ask any woman who has had a child what exercise u need to do Yeah, ok, ladies loos are pretty essential tis true, I'm talking more grandstands etc .........
