TheReturn Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited October 28, 2012 by f-s-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Trees Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I thought the FIM and BSI jointly sort out these dates, doesn't look like it eh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 BSI only do SGP dates and latter stages of SWC ... rest is down to FIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young51 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) 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 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..

PHILIPRISING Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 THERE were some improvements made to the track at the Marketa this year and BSI have been assured that more including new material on the surface will be there in 2013. The son of Petr Ondrasik who now has much more say in the stadium is keen for these to go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Billa is naturally cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 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.
