Noodles Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 From Speedwaygp.com today: The Royal Navy will invade the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on July 10, after agreeing a deal to sponsor the FIM British Grand Prix. Some of Britain’s finest will play an integral role at the three-hour spectacular with a Field Gun Run and the Royal Marines Commando Display forming part of the 10th anniversary event’s entertainment. The Royal Navy will use the Grand Prix to raise awareness of the work the Navy and Royal Marines are involved in around the world. Paul Bellamy, Managing Director of series promoters BSI Speedway, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Royal Navy on-board as a sponsor of the FIM British Speedway Grand Prix. “They have been a licensing client of IMG for a number of years and we see this as a great way to broaden this existing relationship. “Commander Steve Pearson attended the Grand Prix last year and we are very pleased that, under his guidance, the Navy has chosen to partner with us in this way. “I'm sure our audience will be thrilled to watch the spectacular displays the Navy excels at.” Commander Pearson is delighted the Navy will get the chance to crank up the atmosphere in the Millennium Stadium before the world’s biggest speedway event gets underway. He said: “Having seen the Grand Prix in Cardiff last year, we feel it is a great event to be associated with. “The atmosphere was electric and passionate, and we hope the display by the Field Gun Crews and the Royal Marines will excite and entertain the thousands of fans before the meeting, creating the same atmosphere before this year’s anniversary event. “Our messages about service careers “Life without limits” and “State of Mind”, encapsulated in our display teams, has a real read across to speedway which is all about skill, discipline and bravery from the first heat to the last. “We are all very much looking forward to the event and seeing the riders in action out on the track.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeone Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 That field gun race lark is pretty spectacular, people have been known to lose digits and all sorts. I agree about those birds floating about last year, it was like watching paint dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 just a thought but instead of having bands who are past there sell by date why not invest in a band that would guarantee to sell the rest of the tickets.ive no idea of the costs involved but if an extra 40000 tickets where sold that could pay for a current group and think of the publicity speedway would get and maybe some of the extra fans would keep coming to speedway.

As it is in Wales why not get the Manics or Stereophonics to play............either would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
