ozzie Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Any thoughts or tid bits on likely 2026 SWC location. Thinking NSS in Manchester would be favourite? Doesn't hold huge number of fans though? TBH, happy if it was Wroclaw again, that was an awesome week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) i think Denmark or Sweden might come round before Belle Vue again, and Pardubice keep getting some bigger meetings Edited December 27, 2023 by stevehone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enotian Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Something to rattle the purists but with Poland likely to dominate any world cup in the future and the unsavoury jingoism of international competition would the speedway world cup be better made up of twelve teams representing each of the star signs (or calendar months if you don't subscribe to that type of gubbins). Might bring the sport some notoriety and even up the competition (unless all the best speedway riders were born at the same time of year?) After all everyone in the entire world has a star sign so you could naturally migrate to support your own team even if none of its riders were from the same country as you. Afterall if you believe in star signs then you probably have more in common with someone of the same sign that you do with someone from the same country With nationality becoming increasingly more fluid anyway would you support a twelve team star sign world cup? Who'd you support and who'd be in the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, that is typical of us Capricorns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 If Discovery are serious about making the sport bigger, take it to America, must be a suitable stadium in a big city available, put in a nice wide track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably would get hammered in the final, but there's a chance they'd rise to the occasion. Stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now pretty sure it’s final only with semi’s elsewhere- presumably still in Poland. Date could be August 29th 2026. now confirmed that NO GP in Warsaw in 2026- just the SWC final Edited Thursday at 10:44 AM by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPNY Posted Thursday at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:11 PM Annoying its in Poland and catering to a Polish win again BUT if they are gonna stage it that's a great place to have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie Posted Friday at 09:24 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 09:24 AM Happy with this, prefer Poland as a european destination visit from Australia to Denmark or Sweden. The semi's and race-off could anywhere as they don't need the capacity. Wroclaw final was sold out, but the other 3 races maybe 10-15% full. Maybe Lublin?
