tomhaines Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 In Speedway Star today. Round 1 - May 1 - Germany Round 2 - May 15 - Poland or Germany Round 3 - May 29 - Stockholm, Sweden Round 4 - June 12 - Cardiff, Britain Round 5 - June 26 - Copenhagen, Denmark Round 6 - July 10 - Krsko, Slovenia WORLD CUP BREAK Round 7 - August 21 - Gothenberg, Sweden Round 8 - September 4 - Prague, Czech Rep. Round 9 - September 18 - Poland or Germany Round 10 - October 2 - Hamar, Norway Interesting that Slovenia remains after Dryml's crash and what his dad said. Where could the German GP(s) be held? My vote goes for the fantastic Olympic Stadium in Munich. One Poland is almost defineatly going to be Bydgoszcz. What about the second, if there is a second as it could be the German 2nd GP instead! Instead of a second German GP, I think another country e.g Italy (Lonigo) could have been introduced, or maybe Russia and we could get Roman's millions out of Chelski and into speedway lol!

dtc Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 This may be a stupid question is speedway big in Germany? more inportantly is it big enough for 2 gp's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 2 GPs in Germany ?! Total idiocy! If they wanna have good GPs at natural tracks instead of that imitation of speedway at make-up tracks they should make 2 GPs in Poland. With no doubts one at Bydgoszcz and the second one at Wroclaw. Round 1 - May 1 - Germany (Berlin or Munchen) Round 2 - May 15 - Wroclaw - very good track, GP was held there a few times before 1999 (...) Round 9 - September 18 - Bydgoszcz - this GP cannot be removed! That`s my opinion about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorzow looks like a no no after a poor crowd this year and the extra proper track at Wroclaw makes it more of a balanced series. Munich would be my choice as I said but Berlin is more likely to get the nod because it is closer to Poland and therefore more likely to attract a higher crowd.

shazzybird Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Round 6 - July 10 - Krsko, Slovenia Day after my birthday, may have to ask Daddy if he wants to treat his little girl for her birthday a night out at speedway just not tell him how much and where til he agrees :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I think that the UK deserves two GP's long before the Germans! There were stories of a GP at Hampden Park Glasgow, a year ago. Now that would make far more sense. It is a good geographical distance from Cardiff, so those who do not want to travel, would go to the nearest event. I would put a Glasgow GP in the June spot, when the weather should be OK, and allow Cardiff to have the final GP of the whole series in October, there would be a big crowd to see the climax of the competition. The roof would ensure the meeting was on. There would be a far bigger crowd than the last GP will get in Hamer, what is it's capacity? Many UK fans would go to two GP's especially if they got to see the World Champion crowned, at the end of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a meeting in GB during June at a proper speedway track. and then Cardiff as the season ender. Having 2 meetings in GB at Cardiff and Glasgow would force most fans to choose one or the other, thus halfing the attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Which 'proper speedway' track has the capacity of say, 20,000? I cannot see BSI wanting to put on a British GP in a stadium with a smaller capacity than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 So they have beaten Sweden and GB to announcing their fixtures. How nice we can all work round them once again :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 So they have beaten Sweden and GB to announcing their fixtures.

mark cox Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I thought John Poshbloke was going to organise an Aussie GP in 2004? I suppose he's a bit skint after Sweden... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 How come the the info is in the Speedway Star and not on the GP site or on the BSPA site. No new interesting places in 2004. Have to decide where I want to go. Definately Bydgoszcz (I might take up your offer FT ), Cardiff and Prague and possibly another 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full-throttle Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 . Have to decide where I want to go. Definately Bydgoszcz (I might take up your offer FT ), Just let me know in plenty of time so i can organise sick leave and hotel rooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozyace Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I will be coming over next year for about 4-5 weeks. Cardiff & Copenhagen for sure ;-) My question is Sweden or Slovenia - which one would you pick? I know Sweden is expensive but don't know to much about Slovenia.

Jeff. Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Even if their was going to be 2 German GPs I can't imagine it being sensible for them to be one after the other. Are you sure that it is not that the actual order has not yet been finalised and that the first one is either Germany/Poland and then the second at the other venue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britneyspears Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I will be coming over next year for about 4-5 weeks. Cardiff & Copenhagen for sure ;-) My question is Sweden or Slovenia - which one would you pick? I know Sweden is expensive but don't know to much about Slovenia. Id go for Stockholm for sure Ozyace, it is expensive for alcohol but stockholm is a beautiful cosmopolitan city, the transport system is excellent as is the restaurants etc and the swedes are all welcoming. Slovenia is pretty, but its very isolated and there is no transport system. I thought the atmosphere at the GP was better in stockholm too ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner_girl4eva Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Have to say I was surprised to read of the possibilty of 2 German GP's on the calender next year, I thought Poland would definitely have 2. I am aiming (wishing more like!) to go to Cardiff, Copenhagen, Prague, and Bydgoszcz next year -especially as I won't be going to Norway :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquelle Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Ohhh the possibilities!!! How is a girl supposed to choose? Me thinks that a trip to cardiff is def on for next year and then Prague (with my free ticket from John Poshbloke!). Lets hope that Scotty gets his first win in front of his home crowd - how fab would that be!!!!! Two GP's in GB would be fab but i have no idea where they would stage the second. Somewhere up North would be nice but you have to juggle the dodgy weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 What about Lee Richardson with a wild card entry? 1st & 2nd then!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
