PHILIPRISING Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I know one person who is hoping it will be in early October. THAT would be my guess but honestly that's all it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASBLOKE Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Overpriced, over rated Cardiff. £180 a night to lay on dog blankets at the "Cheap" Big Sleep. And you have to pay to get over the bridge too. I have been loads of times, but it has cost us a fortune. I can do flights, accommodation and tickets at Warsaw AND Prague cheaper than the one event at Cardiff. I would be in favour of getting it moved, can the Manc's guarantee a dry Saturday in July ? probably not !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We skipped last year at Cardiff (first time ever) and did Prague and Torun for roughly the same price. Already booked Prague next year and waiting to see about the rest of the GP calendar before we choose our second... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullbore Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Overpriced, over rated Cardiff. £180 a night to lay on dog blankets at the "Cheap" Big Sleep.If the hotels weren't getting takers at those prices then the prices would come down...

SCB Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 If the people on the BSF run businesses they'd never make any money. Hotels work on a supply and demand basis (as to planes and train) in that the less beds (or seats) they have the more they charge. You try getting a hotel bed on Cardiff GP night the week before and you won't, suggesting their pricing is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtobeat Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Anyone know roughly when the last few dates will be announced? Thought they would have probably been said with next years wildcards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradford Ace Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Soon hopefully We provisionally booked a load of rooms at the same hotel we stayed at this year in Torun & they're getting a bit impatient with us!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) THERE is a process that involves the FIM and their Autumn Congress ... That's fine but why can't we have a published date, as they do in football, to announce the fixtures. Fans can look forward to that.. Do the the tour companies know before the bulk of fans ?

Humphrey Appleby Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 That's fine but why can't we have a published date, as they do in football, to announce the fixtures. Fans can look forward to that.. Because speedway is more amateur, and I mean that in the nicest sense of the word. I'd imagine some of the hosting clubs need to ensure their own dates are available and they have the budget to support the events - in the typical amateur world that doesn't/can't happen more than a year ahead. Then I'd imagine the FIM want to ensure there are no clashes between certain events across disciplines, even if they care little for clashes with FIM Europe dates. That's presumably a reason why things have to wait until their Autumn meeting to be ratified. And in fairness to the FIM, I'm not sure the F1 calendar for the following season gets confirmed very far in advance either, and much more money is riding on that.

f-s-p Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) THERE is a process that involves the FIM and their Autumn Congress ... FIM Europe plans to share the finished calendar after next saturday. From experience I'll say they need the FIM calendar first... Dont know if they know it though. LOL Because speedway is more amateur, and I mean that in the nicest sense of the word. Preliminary calendar from FIM Europe has a message attached that states on Oct 27th that they still needs organisers for next years events. You are spot on.

Nothing you say stops speedway having a date to publish there World Champ calendar. Maybe speedway should be far more professional and not amateur.
