Espanyol the sole tenant are building a new ground - might not be that site. Anyone what goes that neck of Barcelona. Go further up the hill and look at the view. Amazing.

Amazing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No This stadium is current rented by RCD Espanyol who had to sell their old arena and Espanyol will most likely move out 2008 or 2009. This arena will also be the host of the 2010 European Athletics championsship according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Cham...ps_in_Athletics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Oh i hear we're off to sunny Spain <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Olympic Stadium - Barcelona Espanyol play here Was looked at in 2005 and was earmarked for 2007 or 2008. Glad to hear that Cardiff is staying on the agenda, although Wembley would easier to get to, I much prefer Cardiff.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where would you put a track in Wembley ? Cardiff will be here for sometime and the only track that could stand a chance of getting the British or European GP is Odsal, but alot of work would be needed to get it back.

Kevin Meynell Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 The problem is because of the work on the stands there won't be a roof.So the lower capacity isn't a problem.They will still be able to host sports events.But the fact there is no roof is the problem for speedway. Sounds more like a convenient excuse to me, as GPs were previously held in stadiums without a roof. I suspect Parken is too expensive and doesn't draw big enough crowds to justify holding a GP there.

SCB Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 This is a one of track, if it rains it causes problems, something they have learnt from in the past. It's ok building a one off track if theres a roof as the rain won't effect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandie Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Just found out,from BSI ,that they will be announcing the date for next years British GP in Cardiff live on SKY Monday 24th Sept. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well lets hope for all the hoteliers that have already contacted clients and told them their date is confirmed I hope they are right. So far,reading bits and pieces I make it: Krsko, Slovenia - - 26th April Gotthenberg Sweden- 24th May Parken, Denmark - 14th June Cardiff, GB - 28th June ________________________________________________ Bydgoszcz, Poland - (Mateusz - Bydgoszcz Ticket thread) Leszno (hazzman - this thread) Spain?? (Triple H - this thread) Mallila (Hazzman - this thread) Latvia (Hazzman - this thread) Ostrow - GP Challenge (Mateusz - Bydgoszcz Tickets tread) Lots of - 'I wish it could be here or there' but this is taken from posts that 'appear' to use sources to back things up. Any others? Not sure I agree with announcing it during a spedway meeting as two clubs dont have the opportunity to get on the phone and make the bookings and then when they do all the rooms have gone. (That is of course those that havent read it on here!) Edit - updtaed as information is known! Edited October 15, 2007 by Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) Well we can make a sticky back plastic version of the calendar Slovenian GP, Krsko - 1st of 2008 - 26th April Swedish GP, Gothenburg - 24th May British GP, Cardiff - 28th June Edited September 24, 2007 by Hazzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
