I see once again the hosts are given a spot straight to the final, even though they may not even be in the top 6 in the world. Farce. Must be the top 4 nations for the final.

This rule was changed a couple of years ago, so that Great Britain would be seen in the final. The race off and final were scheduled at that time to be ridden at the new Belle Vue.

To be honest I would not care even if Team GB missed out because I believe a final should be for the best teams. Not sure I like the Elite League play-off being the top four for the same reason. If they must do the play-off, top two teams only.

Seems crazy to schedule the final on 20th July,the same day as the daugavpils round of the U21 finals!!!Unless the Danes for example don't bother entering the U21s next year

 

Further clashes in the SWC/SGP calendar from the dates i've seen given at the moment are;

 

20 May World Cup Qualifier & Grand Prix Qualifier.

Not seen which teams are involved in the SWC meeting yet other than Hungary but a possibility of a low teams clear top rider or a middle grade rider being involved in both? not sure.

 

Saturday 15 June Speedway Grand Prix Gorzow & SGP Qualifier Debrecen, Hungary.

Would mean a middle or lower end GP rider needing to be placed into another GP qualifier.

As lovely a city as Prague is,i fear the only entertainment to be had at the SWC final next year will be off track sadly :neutral: It's a very nice stadium but a bloody awful track,and has produced some of the worst racing in the GPs that i've seen by far (along with every Italian GP held at Terranzano it must be said) Why these two tracks have been chosen to host big meetings that are supposed to 'promote' and show our great sport in the best possible light i really dont know.. :blink:

still a nice city but so expensive now, track and staduim pretty poor and produces no racing at all. suppose they put up the most cash and as for seeding host nation to the final lol. another rule you could only get in speedway.

Expensive??

 

What?? A pint should not set you back anymore than £1.50,since when did £1.50 become expensive? Likewise food ad hotels are still cheap.

That depends where you want to drink it naturally. Two beers were 300 korunas on the Old Town square two weeks ago, thats about 13 euros. Billa is naturally cheaper... :cheers:

As in a lot of major cities if you eat or drink in the tourist traps you will pay through the nose. Prague is not expensive at all if you drink and eat where the locals do, sometimes this can be only a couple of min walk from the main areas.
