Panthers89 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 What's the fascination with creating tracks when we have perfectly good tracks built, tried and tested already? Yes the income could be far higher, but is it worth risking the racing and crowd for future events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even good tickets at Cardiff wasn't that much! I know Scandinavia have a bit more money than us Brits, but crickey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Horsens has a capacity of 12,500, Vojens has a capacity of 22,000. Temporary tracks don't take much rain whereas vojens has covers(not always effective). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Even good tickets at Cardiff wasn't that much! I know Scandinavia have a bit more money than us Brits, but crickey! Isn't it £37 for a cheap Cardiff ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Cardiff price for 2016 - cheapest @ £25, then @ £30. OAP's @ £19 (whopee for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thought saw some for 25, but could be wrong. Ridiculous pricing either way! Just checked and yes, it seems you can buy a £25 ticket. Don't know why I thought £37 was cheapest and the £25 tickets could only be bought as add-ons to the family ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporary tracks don't take much rain whereas vojens has covers(not always effective). This is what I don't understand about going to this stadium...it's small. I can understand using temporary tracks to get into large stadiums but not this one...Given it also has no roof this makes no sense at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep been saying this since it was announced last year, temporary tracks are for larger stadiums, this place capacity is lot lower then Vojens and surely rent will be higher so makes no sense at all. A temporary track with no roof could be a nightmare even with covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G the Bee Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 What's happened to the stand at the end of the stadium? It's not there! Just a pile of shale where it should be. Have they taken the stand down to put the track in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they taken the stand down to put the track in? I thought the same thing, the reply I got on face book was : We removed it because The track is longer than The stadium. CASA Arena is flexible, so we can have concerts and speedway shows. We'll be building a new one in two weeks time smile emoticonhope to see you!

Vojens is reasonably well appointed as speedway stadiums go, but it's still situated in an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere. Horsens appears to be a bit more luxurious and is at least in a town with some facilities. Maybe the clue though, is that Horsens and Vojens are in different regions. Perhaps the Horsens municipality or the local region was willing to offer some sort of financial support that Vojens wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShropWolf Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I am really looking forward to this sgp. We are doing a week's touring around Denmark prior to the event. I know when I bought my ticket they had sold a lot of the tickets. 😃😃😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Vojens is reasonably well appointed as speedway stadiums go, but it's still situated in an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere.

Perhaps the Horsens municipality or the local region was willing to offer some sort of financial support that Vojens wasn't. As I have mentioned before the region has really got behind the SonderjyskE project..Football and Handball are the main sports in Denmark and I doubt that speedway can match it.And we know Ole has been trying to get commune support for his track,but I guess most money is going to SönderjyskE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B8nderjyskE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haderslev_Fodboldstadion I'd guess that Oles problems started when Vojens Kommune was abolished and it was lumped in with Haderslev etc .In Vojens it was undoubtedly the main sporting attraction in the region,but in the larger South Jutland region it must take second place to SonderjyskE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vojens_Municipality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
