VIVIENNE B Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 HI everyone, Firstly I would urge everyone to visit www.veltins-arena web site,where the stadium owners put foreward the advantages of useing there arena. Following there assessment of the stadium in 2003 UEFA and FIFA decided that they could not give the stadium there top 5 star award. NO! WHY YOU ASK? Because they felt that the stadium warranted at least a 6 star status plus on there scale. The stadium owners state (that thanks to its independence from the weather the arena always draws a large crowd)in the knowledge that the event will take place,with no regard to weather conditions outside the stadium. The stadium has been copied all around the world,and is now the bench-mark for stadiums being built everywhere.It is said that it ranks in the top three stadiums in the world today. So where did it all go wrong? As many have said BSI/IMG will now keep very quiet,other than to tell us what a great finish to the GP calender they gave us in Poland,with the atmosphere in the stadium boosted by some excelent races and the added bonus of the local boy comes good in front of his home fans.What a climax to the season they gave us,we could not have asked for more,then more back slapping or stabbing,and then what they are going to do for us next year. These people travel all over europe every year staying in the best hotels(I know I have seen them)eating in nice resturants, all paid for by Joe speedway public,you would not believe the work these people put in for the likes of you and me,only to be slagged off when something goes wrong, how ungrateful are we.When we should be throwing ourselves at there feet with gratitude. I for one will never forget how they toiled for us in Gelsenkirchen,I saw them in the hotel bar on the friday night, there IMG shirts covered in that dirty shale stuff.Some of you people out there don't know what a hard days work is, you should be so so grateful to these people who have devoted there lives so that you and I can watch speedway. For me ,I have my ear to the ground, there are rumbles,maybe legal points I need to explore, It maybe months,years even.But when the dirt hits the ground,all 4,000 tons of it,I know who it will fall on.
