See the good folk at Holsted are letting fans in for the amazing price of nowt!!! Now what a line up for free!!
Might even be tempted to drive up myself to see the cream of Scandinavian youngsters plus some Finnish bloke

Cost of living is the big difference. There is around 40% lower living cost in Poland. Obviously great for foreigners and that is why a lot of Germans travel over the border every week. Just like according to Dortmund and a BBC report a couple of years back 1000s of British football fans take advantage of the cheap tickets for Dortmund’s Bundesliga home games. Cheapest tickets to stand in the 80,000 crowd are less than €17!!!

Total b###s up this. Brokstedt with Holta and Rene Bach etc and then Stralsund turn up with a bunch of youngsters. Lots said on the net(including myself) that they wouldn't turn up and pay Bundesliga prices for what was a 2nd division team and even some of the second division sides are better than that Stralsund team!!! Should be a minimum strength.....was actually looking forward to this but it was obvious before a lap was run who was going to end up winning.Speedway !!! No wonder I am losing my enthusiasm. Maybe Ludwigslust at the weekend will get me to the track. Lower level meeting, but if the line-up is relatively equal ability then I am ok with that. Rant over

It is also no new phenomenon, not wanting stadia near your home. Sure there were complaints way back in the 1930s about speedway racing in or around London. And it wasn't confined to the UK, as the track in Hamburg caused neighbours to complain and try to get it closed for a few years in the early 1930s

Stralsund track is around a football pitch from memory, and they make a big fuss about bikes going onto the centre. Handing out fines for anything other than pushing a bike across the green(pitch). Also never really seen a great meeting there

Could be Prague city council provide funds on the basis thousands spend money in the city over go weekend. I don’t think Pardubice has the same attraction. Good track though.
You would have thought the situation would be the other way round. On the basis Prague is one of Europe’s major tourist cities the council don’t need to attract speedway fans. In fact in a lot of major cities they are turning against attracting tourists. On the other hand Pardubice council might want to attract a few thousand foreigners for a weekend. But I don’t think the speedway club want to touch the GP
Quick google shows both Prague and Czech Republic had a record tourist year in 2018 and Prague is already taking measures to clamp down on Air bnb and have appointed a night life Mayor to try and get to grips with the excesses of tourists and cheap drink

Personally when summer comes along it is out with the sandals for me. And I am so so lucky that my skin is Peril white that I can even wear white socks and nobody notices !!!

How many time is that going to be said, and posted on here? Almost very blinking year for a decade I think........

Win some, you lose some. Can’t do right for some folks on here. Thought it might actually attract some folk knowing Robert done so well. There you go. To spoil it even more the meeting dropped off after they done track work after ht12 and a few people who were at the meeting complained this is a regular feature at Gûstrow
Nobody has to watch it if knowing the top 2 is a real spoiler though.And I don’t apologize for doing what I think is right

Was just wondering if he done a Jesper B. Jensen (Monberg) and changed his name while I wasn't looking.Particularly as I was looking at sportowefakty and his name was spelt normally..

I know i missed it when Bombay became Mumbai and I missed the changeover from Rumania to Romania, so when did Loktajev become Lokoksiev?

Smoli looks to be safe now, given his opponents in ht 20, surely

A little bit of a joke if he flops today and then turns up at the final and walks into the GP series.
rubbish happens. Harris has been knocked out, got back into the Challenge and qualified in previous years I think

Just takes a bit of common sense and everyone should get in quickly and safely.
Maybe people from Finland who stock up on cheap trainers and alcohol before going to the meeting

Last nights Pfingstpokal from Güstrow, won by Bellego with Robert Lambert 2nd watched by 8,000 fans

Speedway Challenge Junior meeting, Güstrow 07.06.2019

Liam having a hard time at the moment. Carrying an injury from a few days ago, he rode at Güstrow last night and had 2 falls and pulled out of the meeting. Fellow countryman McGuinness managed 6 prs in a meeting won by Artjom Trofimovs in front of a decent crowd for a junior meeting of 1300

Gilgenreiner was German Speedway championing 1980 and was part of the bronze medal German team in the 1981 WTC final

Talk about a closed shop and Robert Lambert in the same breath !!!
What is the answer then stop the best riders getting in so we have some new faces who aren’t good enough just for the sake of it? Do we ask Liverpool and Real Madrid to put out their reserves next year so they don’t do well and lesser teams qualify ..,..

Saw Moi some years ago on 80cc and he was quite exciting, but hasn’t done a lot on 500cc. Fredricksen is the younger(I think) and better Norwegian rider

Sounds like big problems in Outrup. Crash in the first heat due to track conditions and a couple of hours delay trying to sort the problem out....
Now called off!!!!

Not sure why you think that is important? But 150 krone is €20!!!
The actual cost is 30 Krone for a programme, which is a bit more realistic
