Star Lady 5,400 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Great news , anyone know of any good hotels near the stadium ? Fancy coming up from Suffolk for this one . Friday for the race off and Sat for the final We stopped in the Premier Inn Denton last year, we got a good deal by booking very early, Might work in the first year of the SWC worth a try Edited November 13, 2015 by Star Lady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldace 1,678 Posted November 13, 2015 Great news , anyone know of any good hotels near the stadium ? Fancy coming up from Suffolk for this one . Friday for the race off and Sat for the final Within a 5 minute walk there is a travel lodge and diamond lodge but they are not in the nicest part of Manchester. Within a 6 - 8 minute taxi ride you have any amount of hotels inc the city centre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steven101 103 Posted November 13, 2015 Booked my hotel just now. Ibis hotel in city centre 100 quid for twin room for 2 nights, so plan is Friday- speedway, clubbing Saturday- speedway, clubbing pretty decent to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIRKYLANE 534 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Great to see the World cup in Manchester. Sensible decision to put meetings on Friday and Saturday... No clash with Sheffield on a Thursday Will Sheffield put an attractive match on the Thursday? Edited November 13, 2015 by KIRKYLANE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No clash with Sheffield on a Thursday Will Sheffield put an attractive match on the Thursday? Certainly good that Manchester get a couple of big meetings in their 1st season at the new track,but I wonder how wise it is to hold 2 meetings on consecutive days,plus I guess training as well?Or when do Team GB ride the track if they are seeded to the final?

The week before if they are able to fit it in, or have a meeting as soon as the track is available against an EL select. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted November 13, 2015 The week before if they are able to fit it in, or have a meeting as soon as the track is available against an EL select. Isnt that against the rules? Dont know of one myself, but didn't a rider complain about it this year or the year before regarding SWC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
