Does anyone know whats going on with the speedway track in malaysia ?.The website has'nt been updated for almost a year and i have'nt heard any mention of the place this season ,It all seemed to be going great guns with the government of malaysia wanting more tracks but since october last year no news .

Both systems have their merits and the gp at cardiff is drawing a bigger crowd than were attending the old one offs , What i miss are the qualifiers for the old one off ,a british final that meant something and all the other rounds were equally dramatic. overseas ,continental ,commonwealth ,intercontental.etc, and of course each of these rounds gave riders a chance at a title even if they never got the chance to be world champion

good to see him back in the saddle if he takes it easy for a couple of seasons he's still young enough and talented enough to make it back to the big time

img will want to move in when all the hard work is done and there is money to be made .i do hope the speedway authorities in europe can see the benefit of opening up a whole new continent to the sport and will do whatever they can to help make this venture a success -

World Cup At Coventry
speedibee replied to Gemini's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
tell that to sandhu he wont rent the stadium to the bspa .he wants to promote the meetings his self and not share the income!!! -
talk to the guy of course but what may be of help in denmark might not be so useful here . you must know how blinkered our councils are if it's not concerning football. good luck to the guy talk to absolutely any body if it will help to find another chris harris eh!!
-
in denmark local councils are probably not as difficult to work with as they are here ,tell them you want a football facility thats different though
-
waste of time trying to get the powers that be to do anything unless theres a profit in it ,there are loads of people throughout the country who would like to see better facilities for practise .if someone was to get all the interested parties together and form a united front maybe someting could be done .and at the moment there are loads of people who would be willing to join forces they just need a catalyst .maybe thats what you could do ?use the forum to bring all the interested parties together .you may be surprised what skills and assistance are out there just waiting for someone like you to co-ordinate them i have time and energy for this project if you have the money!!!!

who will pay for this track? the bspa is made up of individual promoters running teams as small businesses each of them will only spend money for their own benefit and will not concern their selves with the sport as a whole . why would they invest money in kids in the uk when there are plenty of riders trained abroad at no cost to themselves. if your son is riding you will no doubt have had to buy him a licence and permit to do so from the acu what do they do for british speedway ? very little from what i can see and the fim are worse at cardiff at the weekend their will have been loads of representatives of both the acu and fim getting vip treatment acccomodation for them and their families ,travelling expenses and what do they do for speedway? it's time to get rid of the acu/fim and start to control speedway by speedway . amateur clubs like southern track riders and abc are the best hope we have for getting something organised as far as an overall training policy is concerned both clubs are run by people who are interested in speedway at grass roots level and not in it for the money

you are absolutely right about the f.a. and their precious stadium. what makes my blood boil though is the fact that we paid for it £750 million .and now we have to be told what can and cannot be done in the place. blairs legacy a national sports stadium that one sport controls but supporters of all sports had to pay for typical !!!
