    Final Gp, From Germany

    Just back from Germany and a quick word on the track. Whilst enjoying a couple of beers and the Schalke04 U14's football game on one of the practice pitches next to the stadium (great set up they have there!) spoke with Tobi Kroner who said that the track had plenty of dirt on it in practice and should make for great racing. I said to my mate straight away that I guarantee when we get into the stadium it will be as slick as ....... and it was If the GP is there again next year as reported I hope they iron out some of the "glitches" we encountered - had standing tickets and had to go in through NordCurve entrance. Why only open half of the turnstiles - an absolute free for all ensued. Checks were carried out on every single person causing even more delays. Please advertise the fact that no cash is accepted at the food and beverage outlets - need to buy a card with credit on it and hand it over when making a purchase (nice little money earner, if like me, no-one cashes in any remaining credit - only had 60cnts left but soon mounts up) and finally if selling tickets as standing please let people know it means they can choose their seat in the NordCurve area. Loved Dusseldorf though and great to have free transportation.

    Gp Challenge

    Bjarne is not so familiar with Vojens though. Only ridden there twice in 4 years according to an interview in todays Bournemouth Echo. Echo Report

    Also live updates on the Poole Website GP Challenge
  4. The format remains the same however there is a new draw made each GP for the riders e.g Jason Crump wears number 1 but in the last GP had a rider draw number of 2

    And thanks again from me It's so nice not to have to ruin my Speedway Star
  6. Managed to find a link to the German ticket site GP Tickets Hope this helps. Edited as I notice that you have to register to use this ticket seller - no English translation either I am afraid.

    Cardiff Dvd's Dispatched

    Thirded Can't wait for the end of season SGP & SWC box again. Keep up the good work.
  8. After the euphoria of the British GP and the quality racing served up Ole really has brought speedway crashing back down to earth again. No airfence, no passing (unless riders made the mistake of looking for non-existant grip on the outside and got passed up the inside on the one line available) and no way I want to see a meeting like that again.

    Press Coverage?

    I too e-mailed Bill Bradshaw (always had a lot of respect for the guy since I first saw him on Sunday Supplement - talks sense) and had the following reply Scott, you are too kind. Seriously, it's nice to get such feedback from readers and I have been delighted to spearhead our recent coverage of speedway. The Grand Prix meeting at Cardiff produced wonderful sport, great racing and was a credit to all concerned. It was a privilege to be there and it was a great advert for speedway. All the best, Bill Bradshaw, Sports Editor. Daily Express

    I believe it was A Day In The Life Of or 24 Hours In The Life Of. Pretty good too

    Nominations

    Good to see that Bjarne has seen sense this year and is trying to qualify - even if he has been seeded into the semis by the Danish Federation.

    Swc Teams

    Pretty good guess! From the Bournemouth Echo website Australia boss Craig Boyce has confirmed their top five of Jason Crump, Chris Holder, Ryan Sullivan, Rory Schlein and Leigh Adams for next month's World Team Cup. Davey Watt is reserve
  15. I booked my tickets as soon as they went on sale to benefit from the price freeze (thankfully delivered on Saturday). It appears to me that there was no actual freeze as last year we had the voucher on the side of the ticket for a free programme and this year there is no such voucher. By my calculations purchasing the ticket early will actually cost me an extra fiver (or however much we will be fleeced for this year for a programme). Not such a great offer after all.

    For Our Entertainment!

    But does anyone know if Chas and Dave are still playing. Still listed on their official website. Knowing BSI they'll bring in the famous tribute band Das and Chave! http://www.ukacts.com/asp/acts/index.asp?act=1043&cat=1[/url]

    Ticket For Gp Of Germany

    Managed to get return to Dusseldorf with BA for £80. Booked hotel in Dusseldorf for 2 nights for £100 and £20 standing ticket, so my trip to the German GP is costing less than Cardiff!
  20. Could of sworn that I read somewhere that if a reserve replaces a rider then he must take the rest of the replaced riders outings. I think it was brought in just in case there were injuries or a rider out of form. Then again I may be completely wrong No I was right! http://www.fim.ch/EN/rules/Sportifs/ccp/20...TIONS%20Eng.pdf Check out rule 078.3.4 Team Composition - the FIM have kindly highlighted the reserve rulings
