ImpartialOne Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I can't see there being any problems, unless Eastbourne have applied for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yep they reckon this will be the last this year and the next couple will be held at Hampden Park in Scotland . Well, that would be one way of killing the British GP I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencebel Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Or will it be at the new BV Stadium??? Nowhere will match up to Cardiff with the roof. IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldswindonsupporter Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Nothing mentioned tonight re next year either, normally they announce the date for next year during the meeting. Looks like either the MS have jacked up the price or IMG trying to bring it down...be a crying shame to loose the venue...what about the Olympic stadium post August or even Wembley?

exocet Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 All is well.The date for next year is june 26th and it will be temporary track laid around Bournemouth football club's pitch..............or so I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeaway Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 It's gonna be at Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I was also told this was the last Cardiff GP, and it was moving to the O2 for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IW08 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Doesn't bother me if it is not at Cardiff anymore, not as great as some make it out to be. Hope the event moves to a track in easterly direction as may stand a (slightly) better chance of going. Kings Lynn would be great venue IMO for a British Grand Prix.

robert72 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I had my doubts it was infact the british gp at cardiff yesterday,the amount of polish flags flying really out numbered the brits by a long way. Also sources said nearly all the british promotors stayed away. Is there anywhere in britain that could live up to that stadium and be in a city center, No will it be back next year it seems doubtful as they always plug it on the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 i'll be honest I don't like the sound of this as it has the potential to upset the apple cart........ it is IMG's baby and cash cow ... and for that income and stability to be placed into question starts putting question marks over the stability of the whole series Hopefully this is just a case of hardball negotiation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drac Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 To be honest i dont think many will mind it being moved to another venue. However suggesting Kings Lynn is not an option. It is not big enough to hold such an event. A few options are available: Murrayfield - Edinburgh Wembley - London 02 Arena - London Hampden Park - Glasgow However if it is to be moved, id like to see it moved centralish so id like to see it at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Good stadium at KL but does it hold over 45,000 peeps and have a roof Wouldn't mind travelling to London, Birmingham, or Manchester, but they will need a roof. Cardiff is an excellent venue.

I'm pretty sure in the past it's not been announced until at least a week after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
