Mr Wong Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 That you'd finally got a sense of humour...???!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didn't realise you were a Carry On fan Parsloes, as your humour suggests Pity i didnt know you were there sunday mate, we could have chatted over a few pints, it would have helped to alleviate the boredom of a pretty cr*p event. Dugard falling over if it looked like he might lose, Kennett, MsConnell and all the other usual suspects yawn. Agree with Shovlar, 8 teams of pairs, or even 16 and have the meeting across the whole day, the individual was a disgrace, are you listening Dugards and Cook!!

AJ Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Any news on Robo? It looked painful by the way he went down. I hope there's no serious damage. Heard from the man yesterday, wrist is a bit tender but no real damage unlike the bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth raider Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) During an interview in one of the evening many breaks Jon cook was being asked about other posible venues for indoor speedway. How About this...... Taken from www.millenium-dome.com The O2 Centre Greenwich sets July 2007 opening date April 12, 2006 Owners of The O2, AEG Europe, today announced the venue was set for a July 2007 opening and revealed landmark progress in the construction programme. Sitting at the centre piece on the site of the former Millennium Dome, The O2 Arena now boasts a fully-raised roof and outline. The purpose-built street, which wraps around the complex and will contain a 2,000 capacity Live Music Club, 11 screen cinema, exhibition and theatre spaces as well as bars and restaurants, is now clearly defined. The O2 will host the Gymnastics and Basketball finals whilst in 2009, it will play host to the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships. The first purpose-built music venue in London since The Royal Albert Hall in 1871, The O2 Arena offers previously unavailable benefits for artists, customers and media. A flexible frame means a bespoke capacity can be set from two people to 23,000; an unprecedented 50 tonnes of equipment can be hung from its roof, whilst the main floor can be transformed to an ice rink in two hours. Consumers can enjoy wide armchair soft seating and broadcasters can take advantage of integrated, high definition broadcast capabilities when covering entertainment and sporting events. ...........ideal venue who know's? Would be easier to get to for most fans, easier parking, potientialy bigger track for better racing. Not to mention a venue with a more "glamourous stigma" about it could attract bigger names!! Wouldn't suffer overheads such as rental of a venue nearer the centre of london (Earls Court, Olimpia, Wembly arena etc etc) Maybe the more centrally located NEC in Birmingham could come into the equation?

Wouldn't suffer overheads such as rental of a venue nearer the centre of london (Earls Court, Olimpia, Wembly arena etc etc) While it would certainly be good, just because it's in London I can't see how it's any easier to get to (I'd prefer the M23 from the M25 to Brighton over driving in London myself). Not sure about your parking point, I drove striaght into a car park, didn't queue at all, only had to stop to gret a ticket and wait for the barrier to go up. I agree about the bigger track thing though, would be a major plus point. Edited December 12, 2006 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Blanchard Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I might have got this around my neck (I usually do) but can I recall and indoor speedway event taking place at the NEC Birmingham? If not, I would have thought it would be an ideal location. Plus, of course providing it was a viable in terms of the cost of the rent and putting it on in relation to the realistic income from the sales of seats. Could be a lot bigger that is for sure but it would be a question of cost. I think the main hall at Stoneleigh where the speedway show was held is about £35K for a weekend.

I have a badge from an event there. ( It was in a coventry goodie bag ) I agree though. deffinately a great location. Much more central and a main train station. But if they were to move, then who would do it? Cant really see the dugards travelling up here to prepare the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
