Hazzman Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Happy about the WTC dates and that Cov has the Brit Round. German GP should be interesting ground. Will that be the 100th GP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_D Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Saw earlier on the FIM website, very good lineup again. Would be nice finale in that German Stadium, if not a nice place to end it in Krsko, always a good GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggle Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Italy GP is the same weekend as Verona v Juventus is Serie B! Should make for a great weekend, shame they don't announce their fixture changes for TV sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Turner Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I find it impossible to get interested in the World Cup (without really knowing why !?) ...and I look at next years venue for the Final, and already I'm bored with it Granted, it'll be a big crowd...and nearly all of it will go home very happy so I'm slightly out-numbered I think !

Leszno, is a fantastic track, great viewing. Could be an absolute classic. The city will struggle to cope with the influx of visitors but you won't have to worry about that if you aint going will you (I aint going either). Assuming they have renovated the stadium as suggested it will be a million miles from this years venue for the SWC. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Looks like a nice stadium to finish up at but can't see them getting many people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm not talking about the actual venue, sorry Rico...I meant the fact that it's in Poland. Therefore, making it a foregone conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Steve, I wouldn't be so sure. I reckon it will suit the Aussies quite well, with it being Adams home track and he'll get good backing from Crump. Wait and you will see Rob, Given they get around 10,000 for a run of the mill league match I can see there being a good crowd if they get the ticket pricing right. Sadly for the last SWC in Poland they didn't. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mitch Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Would love to see a german GP. Pictures VeltinsArena Gelsenkirchen: http://www.stadionwelt.de/stadionwelt_stad...ch=stadionfotos <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used to go to Langbahn, grassbahn + Sandbahn when I was stationed in Germany and the meetings were very well run with good crowds. I am concerned that this may be not the right venue ? Impressive Stadium for football but what size of speedway track will fit in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Speedway Fan Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 At the Stadium at Gelsenkirchen. there have been Stockcarmeetings and more. They are able to put the footballfield out of the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thank God. The British round of the World Cup takes place at a stadium with running water and public toilets, and a bar that wont close at 9 O' Clock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The stadium will hold approx. 20,000 after renovations. Don't think they'll get a sell out crowd considering the ticket prices but real close to it (if Poland advance to the final). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for the last SWC in Poland they didn't. Rico <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. It's mostly all about the ticket prices. And the track which is far better than the one in Wroclaw..

willp Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 looks a good calender of events. the german stadium looks very nice, i hope they get enough people through the turnstiles to make it pay. swc round at coventry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaledodger Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 the german stadium looks very nice, i hope they get enough people through the turnstiles to make it pay. Very disappointed to see the German GP is not being held on a proper speedway track. I know it will be of little or no consequence to Benfield, but I'll definitely not be there in October, or at Cardiff or Parken for the same reason. Maybe they will be great events and good social occasions, but speedway used to be about racing on a decently prepared track which allowed the supposed best riders in the world to entertain us with their skilllful riding. Sadly that doesn't seem to matter anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
