Guest Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 With the NZ SGP behind us, what thoughts are there in regard to the next stage of the 2014 competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 A joke to see Miedzinski get the wild-card. Robert Koschieca should be given the wild-card, He is Bygodschz through and through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don,t agree with your choice there are better riders than Koschieca who should have been given it .Either of the Pawlicki brothers for starters unless they and others have turned down the chance .Also if you are posting try and get the name of the track right . .

pandorum Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 The Bidgosh GP would be have been a good opportunity to chuck in a Russian WC as after all was it not proposed that due to the glut of Polish rounds there would be WC other than Poles? One of the Laguta's would be a good choice but I guess that worthy ideal was forgotten pretty quickly. The field is weakened enough without Gollob and Sayfutdinov having been replaced by two also rans. I would not push an Emil or Tomasz claim to a WC as they chose to sit it out and don't deserve one but there are plenty of non Poles who deserve a chance to show what they can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, Gollob have declined a wild card to any of the Polish GPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been nice to see Laguta ride if he was fit TBF, hopefully we will later in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 From what I've read, Gollob have declined a wild card to any of the Polish GPs. Well we will see if that holds up. Frankly neither he nor Emil should be given one, and Emil is my fave GP rider. Plenty of guys who deserve a spot. It would have been nice to see Laguta ride if he was fit TBF, hopefully we will later in the season. I forgot he was still nursing an injury. Hopefully we will see one of the Lagutas in the WC places. A fully fir Greg would be a match for anyone in the SGP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I have just had a look on Kup bilet and cannot understand why the ticket sales are so poor so far for this GP-it`s heading for the lowest crowd ever for a Bydgoszcz GP. The Gollob factor may be one reason, any thoughts anyone ?? http://www.kupbilet.pl/index.php?f78=f90&f91=2&f93=f96&f106=sw0116& Edited April 8, 2014 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw40 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yeah it is strange. They didn't really want it to begin with so maybe they knew something like this was going to happen. Be interesting to see what world cup sales are like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny though I thought as soon as Bomber was announced in the main line up ticket sales would rocket I like the lad but just could not resist. The SEC crowds will be an interesting comparisson Edited April 8, 2014 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Wouldn't be surprised if this isn't something to do with the fall out from the winter troubles.Wasn't there talk of a boycott of BSI events in Poland?And then no Gollob + Emil certainly don't help in this neck of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Just had another peek at Kupbilet,and it`s beginning to look as if not only will it be the smallest ever Bydgoszcz GP crowd-it could end up as one of the smallest crowds ever anywhere for a GP.I really hope there is a late surge for tickets from the Polish fans.

iris123 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Would expect a late surge from german fans after last weekend and the fact it is so near Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 OneSport's propaganda against the SGP is very much to blame here. A gerneral anti-SGP feeling was created by the propaganda in Poland during the winter and many people have said they would boycott the SGPs. Interest among the Polish fans for the SGP has fallen to an all-time low this year. This was evident even in the first round in NZ, with a lot less Poles traveling, compared to the past two years. Gollob is gone and there are only two Polish riders in the GP series. Neither of tehm has much charisma. Hampel was very mediocre in NZ and Kasprzak, even though riding exceptionally well, is a rider who has not a lot fans and followers even in Poland. Perhaps it is also a question of ticket prices at Bydgoszcz being set too high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think the FIM have to take a fair bit of the blame for their actions over the winter.BSI rightly or wrongly got dragged into it as well in the minds of the fans.And they didn't endear themselves much to fans from Russia either by saying they should support the Finnish GP as a home meeting.So over the winter Polish,Russian and many other fans were reacting negatively to FIM/BSI.And you are right i do think prices are partly to blame and your point on the Polish representatives make it easy for the fans to boycott this.I think if Poland had a Gollob or Emil like rider in the competition the fans might not boycott the GP(s) in such numbers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a long interview with him in the the latest issue (#1;2014) of Speedwayracing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different perspective than what we've been told by the BSI's unofficial official. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
