I think he's referring to this on June 23rd. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=79576

Riders were just testing out the track so I very much doubt if full scorers will be released. Doesn't really matter anyway does it......or perhaps it does to some people?

 

Edit.....All my pratting around getting the thread and now I've been beaten to it. :lol:

Spoke very highly of the track, no ruts, very smooth

HAVE emailed Chris Durno, who was the referee, to see whether he has a results chart although as previously mentioned there were no prizes nor points money.

Riga, Stuart Robson ???

RIGA ... nothing to do with Stuart Robson. Just saying that apparently the track in Riga for GP qualifier was very good.

Noticed on tickets it says door open 4.00pm, that's an hour later then usual. Has anything been announced about pre-meeting 'entertainment'

BELIEVE it is because more people tend to hang around the Fanzone and enter the stadium later ...

I hope the fanzone is bigger then last year as it was very small and cramped in its new location. I suspect the 4.00 start will mean long queues waiting to get in.

To be fair Peter Kildermand crashes at most places.

Would image it would be the same size if its exactly the same place. Seems everyone at BSI towers is keeping stum over this years opening ceremony the aim I would imagine to top last years.

If that`s correct about the doors to the general public not open until 4pm-i think that is a big mistake. I cannot think of any big sporting event I have attended where the doors haven`t been opened at least 90 mins before the start-Parade will start bang on 5 pm as 1st race is on official documents as 5.15pm. I can see a lot of congestion at bag checks etc and just cannot understand any reasoning behind this late opening of the turnstiles.

Saving money on staffing?

CANNOT imagine that the Millennium will have less staff than usual but that would be their call ...
