Then write to them and tell them to cancel the GP's until Covid is all finished...

As opposed to cancelling COVID till the GPs (and our domestic season) are finished

No need to cancel the GP's that would be stupid, just be fair on where they are held

If it's only going to be a three meeting season - and you don't want them held in Poland - then there's no bloody point in having a season...

Not true... They started introducing the poxy things YEARS ago, well before any of this...

It is true, the GP series and finals were introduced to attract TV coverage and make money. So everybody knew who the winner of the event was at the end of the meeting without having to study a programme and working out all of the possible permutations.

What on earth are you going on about?

Could easily have done 1 or 2 back to back GP's in the following countries this season. 

Poland

Czech Republic 

Sweden

Russia

GB 

Denmark

That's a 6 or 12 round series, there's never been more or less than 6 and 12.

And there we have it.

I like studying my programme (all tablet based now of course).
P.S. I especially like getting to the truth well before the commentators!

They tried their best to give us a reasonable season. If that involves six GP's in Poland, then tough titties.

If we could only have three or four meetings this year - because of Covid - then that wouldn't be worth it.

There's pretty much a full domestic and international calendar of speedway happening throughout Europe, with riders travelling between them all. They're even going to Russia for goodness sake!

I feel bad for you if filling in a prog is really that taxing...

Haven't filled a Programme in for years, waste of money and I'm still mentally agile enough to know what's going on :rofl:

Is that right do you ALL sit there in front of your TV's filing in a Programme for the GP's?

I know some do... but all of you?

Please tell me you don't... I think I'm developing a complex :unsure:

Erm no I don't!  Just rely on them to tell me who's in the semis/final.  If I was there in person I would though.  Always good to see a good race at any level, passing or not, but the end result doesn't interest me (GP results that is).
