Workington/Torun Zuzel Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hope the rumours of a return to Germany for the Grand Prix championship in 2007 prove to be correct. Ive always thought Germany should be an automatic choice for a GP as it has one of the biggest bikesport followings in Europe and speedway has a long tradition there with some very loyal supporters. If the Auf Schalke Arena in Gelsenkirchen is the venue we will see speedway staged in possibly Europe's finest stadium Here's hoping B.S.I confirm it soon and we can start booking our trip!!!!

Dekker Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Are BSI ponying the cost themselves or have they found a local to take all the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Speedway Fan Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think the crowd will be the biggest problem so i think a GP at Landshut or Pocking on a permanent Speedway track would be a much better choice than the Arena auf Schalke. I realy would love to see a GP back at Germany... If it's now on a permanent track or in a big Stadium.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a few up and coming Germans coming through atm which would help get a decent home crowd. Â This should replace one of the Polish GP's though...

iris123 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Talking to a couple of german speedway fans at the weekend and first they said that there isn't a rider ready yet for a GP.Second Gelsenkirchen isn't really in "speedway country".They were thinking the crowd there would be poor.Obviously coming from the north they might be a bit biased but there opinion is that it should be held here.The south is more longtrack country and the crowds are not too good.Plus here in the north it is close to Sweden,Denmark,Poland..where the crowds are.Their opinion was Norden for the GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Andreas proves us wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Their opinion was Norden for the GPÂ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Egon Muller for the wild card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Do you think he could still do it? Â Funnily enough just after my post i saw this.Just modernising the place.Wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Do you think he could still do it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â A wonderfully gifted rider, albeit a little Gollobesque in demonstrating said gifts - it all came together for him on that day in Norden. He had a rocket-machine GM (first GM world champion, I believe) powering him and seemingly final say in track preparation. Maybe if the one-off world finals had still been around it would all have come together for Gollob on a given day in Poland. We'll never know. Still, I had a bit of time for Muller - went all the way down to Newcastle to see the new champion in a match race series against Newcastle's mighty NL heatleader trio of Beaton, Hunter and the incomparible Joe Owen. But he'd injured himself at Exeter (?) and could only manage a half-hearted effort against Beaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Had a chance to speak with Egon during his visit to Zielona Gora, he was overlooking Billy Hamill's pits as The Bullet was riding on Egon's engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
