Woz01 3,589 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) 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?! Thats hardly fair on Poole if they wasn't even asked. Maybe the price for goggle gate! 😂 Edited February 14, 2016 by woz01 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted February 14, 2016 Thats hardly fair on Poole ... That's the difference between the British Speedway establishment (BSPA / SloSpeed) and FIM Europe / OneSport. For once Poole aren't being engineered a title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,979 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Looks better on the cv to have held a WSL in Berlin rather than going to prospective clients and saying they have held the WSL in Wolfslake or King's Lynn etc "King's Lynn!!!! That is only slighty better than holding the Stock Car World Final in Ipswich ffs!!" The Promotion are looking to put on a shuttle from Berlin Spandau to the stadium,but need to know how many are interested in this If you are please contact them at sportleiter@speedwayteamwolfslake.de Usefull as the stadium is out in the sticks Edited February 16, 2016 by iris123 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's the World Speedway League in Berlin - except it's not the world it's European, it's not a league it's a one off four team tournament & it's not Berlin it's Wolfslake. At a push they might fill a mini bus. Edited February 16, 2016 by Noodles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the start of a new policy - tracks within 200kms of a urban centre are now to be marketed as 'big city venues'...

malcolmuzzell 0 Posted February 19, 2016 To be fair, Wolfslake is not the greatest track in Germany but it is a great racing track! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,979 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I guess it isn't the best stadium or in the best situation.Not really what you would expect for something like the WSL is it???? Though in fairness to Team Player Management,it is Wolfslake that have been using the 'Berlin' handle for years....Olching is about the same distance from Munich and has the advantage that it is linked at least by the S-Bahn,but I haven't seen them use Munich-Olching at all......

iris123 20,979 Posted February 19, 2016 New horizons for the FIM World Speedway League We are only 9 weeks away from the FIM World Speedway League, which will be held in Berlin. It is going to be a historical event, because it is the last time when the champion teams will meet in a European country, as from the next year the competition will go to new horizons and open a new exciting era in speedway. - “In next years the FIM World Speedway League will take place in March and it will be always outside Europe.” - sai...d the President of PZM and Vice-President of the FIM, Andrzej Witkowski for Tygodnik Żużlowy. It has been said that the FIM World Speedway League 2017 will take place somewhere in Middle East/Gulf area. “Qatar? It is possible.” - said Witkowski and emphasised that the clubs don't have to worry about expenses, because each team will receive from the promotor of the FIM WSL €10,000 as travelling costs and the prize money. The prize amount for first place will be €35.000, second place will be €18,000, third place will be €13.000 and the fourth place will be €9.000. From 2018 the prize amounts will increase. Now the FIM World Speedway League is held as a one final event per year, but it can change in the future. “There will be 6 teams competing. I don't rule that it will be also a qualification system, but it will take place in Europe.” - said the Vice-President of the FIM. - “Of course we have to stay within the limits of rationality. We know how some of the SWC rounds look like, where the competing teams consist of “old dogs” and bring nothing new.” www.fimworldspeedwayleague.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How jolly well dare you!!!! Because after all the things you say happened, someone still has the balls to say WSL will grow to 6 teams and their price money will grow. If thats a reality in 2020 and my own track plans have worked out (we already have planning permission granted a month ago), I'll have a taxi pick you (as in iris123, not the lot of you... ) up at home, fly you to Tampere and make you ride speedway and drink beer like never before. All paid. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
