steve roberts Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Interesting development? The two day final in Amsterdam has constantly been criticised over the years although I enjoyed the event as it gave you two days in Amsterdam enjoying the sites. Obviously people now accept the idea of a two day event albeit within a GP series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stadia Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago When I first heard Belle Vue was going to also host a GP round, I thought, that's great for GB speedway, 2 venues in one year! Now, what do I think? I think it could be a disaster, from an attendance point of view. Also, how do fans choose between day 1 and day 2? Or are the organisers expecting fans to attend day 1 and 2? I doubt a huge number could. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think attending both days is going to be popular, Manchester is easy commute for much of the north and midlands. We'll see 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the major reasons so many stopped going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wembley has no roof and it always rains in London. Also there's nothing to do around Wembley and it's too far from London, so you can't walk it from Buckingham Palace or Downing Street.

Parklife is on in Manchester that weekend so hotels are already pricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
