stevehone Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'd be happy with Belle Vue - speedway is about seeing good racing and that's where's best in this country, with Peterborough right up there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) I think they should alternate between world cup and a best pairs event. People are going to get bored of seeing Poland winning every year, a best pairs event would be a more even competition.

screm Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Good racing in Poland 99% of the time, IMO a well prepared Scunthorpe track must be right up there! Whilst there is no doubt that the racing at Scunthorpe can be very good I feel the facilities may need to be upgraded somewhat before we see a SWC event there. Belle Vue get my vote, great track great facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Have the run off at the EOES, and Final at Belle Vue or vice versa, so it doesnt give a team any kind of advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Have the run off at the EOES, and Final at Belle Vue or vice versa, so it doesnt give a team any kind of advantage. Or have both at BV so us fans don't have to travel all over the country. And no disrespect to Peterborough (and Lynn) but it's not exactly Manchester where theirs plenty of other things to do in the day and places to eat/drink after the meeting. Manchester is a great city, a few days there is no hardship at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Good racing in Poland 99% of the time, IMO a well prepared Scunthorpe track must be right up there! Never been to Gdansk then. Would it be good though to see Poland winning every year though? Poland are likely to win wherever the SWC is held until another nation has some new World Class blood. The only riders that may deny Zmarzlik, Dudek, the Pawlicki's & Janowski 10-15 SWC gold medals is other Poles, unfortunately. The SWC remains a great event.

Its a bit of myth that the racing is always good in Poland there are quite a few tracks that are crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to Gdansk many times to watch Darcy Ward, Gdansk not the best unless you are watching Ward around there who was very special!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradford Ace Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Anyone heard when the World Cup dates are likely to be announced?? I wanna know when to book my holidays!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 The only gap in the GP calendar is early to mid June. The final could be 9th or 16th. With the football world cup starting on the 14th you'd think the 9th would be favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 With the football world cup starting on the 14th you'd think the 9th would be favourite. I can see your point but got to be doubtful any speedway nation will be anywhere near a football world cup final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I'M always one step behind youMaybe this time... But really, theyve gathered now three times in a month (preli meet of which date Im not sure, prague calendar meet 18-19 and general council now). Me thinks Im allowed to expect press releases so we can start building the domestic calendar... I'M always one step behind youMaybe this time...
