Humphrey Appleby Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I attended the SGP qualifier Final in Zielona Gora in 2008...This was a meeting that had 16 riders fighting for 3 places in the 2009 SGP series, and at best estimate the stadium was more than half empty. This is a stadium that is packed out with the best and noisiest fans for every league match that Zielona Gora race in....If a meeting like that can't bring out the fans in one of the most fanatical speedway towns in Europe, what chance that the same riders could get enough people interested in an SGP2 series? World Championship qualifiers used to be reasonably well attended, but why would anyone be interested in paying inflated prices to watch non-SGP riders riding for just three places? It's a pointless exercise and the fans are not fooled, particularly as they know certain riders will almost certainly be nominated if they fail anyway.
