Lets all just agree that me and Jesper dont know what we're on about and that they'll have a oneoff track somewhere in the city.

If they wanted it in Germany there are far better tracks/stadiums

The F.I.M. could not even find a venue in one of the four competing teams' home countries, so why would any of the "better" tracks in Germany want to take this one on? I wonder what tempted the Wolfslake speedway club to do it ?

 

Surely, it will be bigger and better next year when they stage it in the Arabian Emirates !

Wonder if Coventry were asked in the last two years? Finished 2nd last year but Belle Vue get the spot and Coventry were finalists in 2014 but Kings Lynn got the spot finishing 2nd. Why doesn't Poole want to do it? They were one of the ones that originally pushed this.

Poole weren't invited by the new promotion after deciding against it last year due to cost!!! Pretty sure the financial implications will now be different with this new promotion having the contract for the next 10 years?!
