DutchGrasstrack Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 New German article about the Teterow GP: http://www.speedway-forum.de/index.php/Attachment/983-IMG-20150722-WA0008-jpg/ (same author as that other article) Quick translation: indeed no confirmation of the date. Talks going on with BSI and the Teterow club about possibly staging a GP. They do have three big sponsors ready to finance some of the costs.

RPNY Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I really hope Manchester is added but I suspect it won't be as they don't want the Cardiff crowd to be dented in any way. Even though I'm from London I agree that there's no point in taking it to Wembley. Stadium, half full, pig to get to, nothing around there to do pre/post meeting. The Olympic Stadium I'd disagree, great transport links, the Mall near by with bars etc & knowing the the costs involved they would welcome any additional income from a GP and the like. Cardiff is great though, gone every year never once come away thinking anything other then money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL no roof though which given the vagaries of the British weather is a must when such huge sums are spent on staging the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1234 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Prague and Horsens dates now on SGP website for 2016, Prague 25th June and Horsens 11th June 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 STILL no roof though which given the vagaries of the British weather is a must when such huge sums are spent on staging the meeting. So using this logic this would also rule out using the new stadium in Manchester for SWC events. Ok SWC may not be quite as expensive to host as SGP but two meetings in three days as you say given the vagaries of the British summer could put a question mark over hosting the event there. With this thinking no event would ever go near Vojens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is the cost of hiring stadiums like Wembley and the Olympic Stadium that have no roof, it will probably be much more than they pay for Cardiff with a roof. Belle Vue for a SWC would only be a fraction of that cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT at all ... the speedway track in Manchester will be there and the SWC Final is hardly on a par with laying one at GP at Cardiff where the outlay on staging the meeting is huge.

iris123 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yeah the place is quite dreary. At this rate it won't be long before they are hosting a GP at some track in Dutchland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 With Henny kroeze the wildcard Think he is still doing the Wall of Death,and is probably still better than any other Dutch speedway rider even at his age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 ...and Målilla is well know for it's permanent blue skies and sunny weather? YOU are comparing apples with pears ... the cost of going into stadiums like those in Warsaw, Cardiff, Stockholm and Melbourne demands they have a roof to ensure against the weather.

You were talking about Manchester which you said was very exposed to rain and therefore unsuitable. Then I pointed out that Målilla isn't much better. This is I think, the fourth time it rains at a GP in Målilla. Then there was the SWC a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Well for rain watching certainly What's the surrounding area like for pubs, bars and restaurents? Niamh Well regular rain hasn't exactly stopped Vojens staging GP,s or other big meetings, it's very unusual for it not to rain at that place....and Målilla is well know for it's permanent blue skies and sunny weather?And of course Vojens as well.

AGREE You were talking about Manchester which you said was very exposed to rain and therefore unsuitable. Then I pointed out that Målilla isn't much better. This is I think, the fourth time it rains at a GP in Målilla. Then there was the SWC a few years ago. WE are at cross purposes again. Staging a SWC Final at Manchester is not comparable with having a GP there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the difference then compared to having SWC at Vojens or Målilla? Both locations are also far from rain safe. Unless you plan on holding it in a Mediterranean country like Spain or Italy, rain is always going to be a risk.
