Jez Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Apart from Cardiff, which GP's are people planning to attend for 2004? I fancy Gothenburg and Krsko this year for a change. Done Copenhagen and Cardiff last year and fancy a change for my away trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Meynell Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Apart from Cardiff, which GP's are people planning to attend for 2004? Prague would be worth going to. It's a fantastic city and reasonably cheap. Krsko is a real racing track, but in the middle of nowhere, although you could stay in Zagreb (Croatia) which isn't far away. Personally, I won't be going to any until there's more cooperation from BSI with respect to the disruptive effect on league racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britneyspears Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Apart from Cardiff me and Madge quite fancy going back to Stockholm this year, beautiful city, just a shame about the price of beer, maybe we should make it Prague afterall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 If I didn't have an "I want gang" I would go to all of the GP's and World Cups but then again I can't so it just looks like Cardiff for me, what an excellent day out.

Jo_1515 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I would really love to go to either Prague or Bydgoszsch (sorry about the spelling!) Both great racing and the places look nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREDON Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Difficult to make decision until BSI get organised and state where all the GPs are to take place. eg. Krsko was doubtful, due to lack of money, but has now been confirmed as ok. However, Stockholm, Germany and Poland all provisional at the moment. What a way to run speedway, and these people have the contract for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Meynell Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) What a way to run speedway, and these people have the contract for years to come. Yet many people still think BSI are doing a good job! BTW - Postlethwaite is now getting over GBP 350 grand per year for running the show, whilst some venues struggle financially.

smiles Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Going to Denmark, looking at hotels and flights as we speak, any suggestions on cheap websites would be great. Cardiff there and back in the day now, might as well go abroad for a GP now, Cardiff hotels £100+ per night, went down for 2 nights this year just a little dearer to go abroad. Czech 04 will not be cheap anymore, there going in the eec next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Meynell Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) Czech 04 will not be cheap anymore, there going in the eec next year. You're about 15 years too late for the EEC, and I don't know why joining the EU will make prices go up in the Czech Republic! That country has always had two-tier pricing - if you go to the touristic areas it certainly isn't bargain basement, but just find a local bar and enjoy the ridiculously cheap beer.

Joanne Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 (edited) Apart from Cardiff, don't know where I'm going yet. Would like to go to Germany but they haven't gave us a venue yet. Also waiting for definate confirmation on a new job so I'll probably be on a shift system so I'll just go to the ones in between my shift. Smiles, try Easyjet sometime in December. As for hotels try http://www.totalstay.com/ Jive, Prague is easier than Cardiff. The instructions are on the old site somewhere .

Guest cheetahhawk Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Last year we did Cardiff and Prague. Prague was really good and we found quite a lot if interesting places there plus a really good pub/restaurant near our hotel(The Pyramida)which was really cheap.Two of us had a good sized steak meal and drinks and it come to about £9 total.That's what I call value for money. We went on the Travel Plus tour which although it was a little expensive was good value for money. On the Sunday we had a guided tour of Prague including a boat trip on the river and on the Monday we went on a tour of the Jawa factory which was quite enlightening. I think we may try to go to Gothenburg and Cardiff this year although I also quite fancy one of the Polish venues,all depends on family issues at the moment.

Lioness Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I'm saving hard as I'd like to do Prague this year. It wont be as cheap now that they are going into Europe but as Joanne says Jive the stadium is easy to find (if only I had gone there when there was speedway on lol) Forum meet in Prague anyone?

Sullizbabe Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I want to go to Denmark. I was going to go and watch the World Cup in Denmark this year but got made redundant in March (Not the best month to lose your job!) So that went out the window soI I may try for the GP this year, they noramlly do deals in the star but as I'm single I have to pay a stupid supplement fee which coats loads. Does anyone know of any great sites that does cheap deals? I'd also like to go to Poland but that may have to be 2005. We're spoilt for choice really.

What a way to run speedway, and these people have the contract for years to come. Is it me or do some speedway fans just love to moan? Everyone has their faults and BSI are no different but what is the point of focusing on their negative aspects?? why not instead take a step back and look at the wider picture. 8,000 people at coventry in the year 2000 and 36,000 people in Cardiff last year. The series now enjoys healthy sponsorship good t.v coverage and large crowds, surely the good factors BSI bring to the sport outweigh the negative. If Speedway is going to progress at a faster rate it requires all the fans to stop MOANING and be positive. Maybe im the minority but i personally believe BSI are doing an awesome job and im more than happy the contract is in their hands for years to come.

Raquelle Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I did Cardiff and Gothenburg last year. Sweden is VERY expensive and there are only so many things you can do. This year its Cardiff again and a trip to Prague hopefully for me. Has anyone heard any more about BSI giving out freebie / cheapo tickets to those who went to Gothenburg and couldnt go back the following weekend for the rerun? There was a rumour that we would get tickets to the GP of our choice next season and a programme if I remember right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
