Thanks for the above. Also, i think i'm correct in saying it's your website?, there is a detailed report here

http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/364/prima-overture-dutch-speedway-league-.html

 

Only worrying thing is, there was more than the 8 spectators seen in the seated section wasn't there? I do hope so as there is some fine work going on to get Dutch speedway up and running to a higher level.

[DutchGrasstrack 804]

Yes this is my website My colleague was there to take the pics and write report because I was in Tampere.

The Blijham club made a mess of there promotion of the event = nothing at all. Next round is in Veenoord next weekend, should be a better crowd. Avarages around 1000 every year for a national event. Heusden-Zolder should get a crowd like that as well, Lelystad will be a problem again.

Round 1, Blijham, crowd: 250

Yesterday's international meeting in Blijham was a big success for Dutch speedway. Many people came which resulted that things like programms where sold out. Great meeting as well.
