Steve Turner Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Well none of that grabs my interest Too many GP's...as it has been for too long. Having 3 in Poland is ridiculous. Pure profiteering. Maybe I'm very much in the minority, but it's just so uninteresting. St.Petersburg, one of the most fantastic cities in the world...but it would be like Prague, where going to the speedway 'ruins' a great weekend.

If your not interested fine, leave it to those who are Well said, lets hope they sort the track out at Prague this year. It has gone downhill year after year. There is gonna be a huge scramble for Torun tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 No Vojens then?? Would be a surprise considering the work done in upgrading the place,the attendance at the recent GP and Olsen stating he was hoping it would become a permanent fixture in the GP series in the Vojens programme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll know for sure soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Fancy St Petersburg, been there for a long weekend and really enjoyed it. I suppose the logistics of getting the bikes etc to togliatti is too difficult, but all the russian speedway fans are a damn long way from St Petersburg, they'll have to rely on visitors to make up the numbers. Stumbling block will be, can fans be bothered with getting a visa. Good point, is that it's far cheaper to get to than moscow or anywhere further east.

Mad Mitch Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Czech Grand Prix 22 05 2010 full page ad in Czech Gold Helmet ( Zlata Prilba ) programme. Not seen confirmation on SGP site or elsewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Czech Grand Prix 22 05 2010 full page ad in Czech Gold Helmet ( Zlata Prilba ) programme. Not seen confirmation on SGP site or elsewhere ? They put it on the GP website for about a couple of hours about 3 weeks ago and then removed it -it had the top price seats at £10.

T.N.T. Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Confirmed GP Tracks for 2010 and rumours Confirmed Torun Målilla Gothenburg Copenhagen Leszno Cardiff Bydgoszcz Prag Rumours St Petersburg instead of Daugvapils Lonigo instead of Terenzano Gorican instead Krsko Why cant England hold a GP as well as the British GP ? It could be held at Coventry easily or maybe this new venture at Leicester that is believed to be even bigger. They could even call it the Commonwealth GP to make sure its PC and should gain a good crowd. Would like to see Landshut or Pocking in Germany added as well as Vojens which would make it a 14 -15 meeting series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellamy hinted that unless Cardiff sold out (and pigs might fly) It is doubtful that they would entertain another in Britain. I think they are missing a trick with the likes of Peterborough and Coventry both likely to sell out and yes it could be marketed as an English GP. I thought Vojens was a massive success. I hope they continue with that one as I enjoyed the weekend with a trip to a Danish league meeting as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I saw I feel Vojens deserves to continue as a GP venue. Edited October 11, 2009 by WembleyLion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhamboy66 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 You wont like 2011 then! No It's not a case of not liking it. More a case of Three in Poland Two in Sweden possibly two in Denmark is a joke. Substitute One of the polish meetings and one of the swedish meetings and have them in Australasia out of our season and I would be very happy. Shame that its unlikely to have the support of the fans there. But given that it could expand to say sixteen with the majority during the British season it will have a massive negative effect on our top league. I want to be able to watch top class riders each week and not the sort of stuff that is served up the majority of tme in Australia and new Zealand i.e Solo's being the side attraction to other forms of motorsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind having as much as 15 GPs. on the contrary more Gp would mean more media attention and it would mean that a rider cannot secure the title after only 4-5 GPs. 3. Who are going to pay for the travelling and transport costs for getting the riders and their teams and equipment half around the world?

Who are going to pay for the travelling and transport costs for getting the riders and their teams and equipment half around the world? 3. Australians and Kiwis do it every year. If they had us at the end of the series, bikes and engines could be sold, meaning less to take back. If it came here it would be at a speedway stadium but with a temporary surface. i'd imagine IMG would get an Airline sponsor and freighting sponsor on board then a plane would be chartered to freight everyone in and out.
