Well I believe theses are available ... 30 tickets priced at £40.00 each in block E in the POOLE GRANDSTAND row 11 seats 1 to 30 20 tickets priced at £40.00 each in block E in the POOLE GRANDSTAND row 5 seats 11 to 30 You requested 20 tickets priced at £40.00 each in block F in the POOLE GRANDSTAND row 3 seats 1 to 20 You requested 20 tickets priced at £40.00 each in block B in the POOLE GRANDSTAND row 8 seats 1 to 20 So they have not all sold out! - lets hope they do though. Support the Brits and get your tickets for the final.... http://www.speedwayworld.tv/

Have you tried eBay

Benfield have no grandstand tickets left. However, the Poole promotion still have some left in the grandstand just in front of the starting gate. These are prime tickets, so if you want one you will need to phone the speedway office (01202 681145) and book them, or ask one of the promoters tomorrow night. Both Matt and Mike I am sure will be able to help you if you are quick. I am pretty sure the tickets sold on the day and online are for the temp stands. Oh!.... I did not bother ordering one as you said they were all sold out Steve!

Hmm, were they really all sold out?

Just wanted to say that I thought Joe rode exceptionally well on Monday night with great skill and determination. It wasn’t the easiest track to pass on and Joe rode full throttle on the back wheel to pass riders! Well done Joe you have done the country proud

It is actually in the rules that all teams must have a team racing suits but not everyone has £2000 to £3000 spare in their budget to have fancy Kevlar’s. Admittedly they could have the moto x type tops made but it is all money which does not grow on palm tress in the SWC. I believe one of the reason USA are not competing is because is costs to much.

Well done lads, you did your country proud. We could see you were well up for it and it sends a strong message out to the rest of the teams. Everyone gave it 110%. Roll on Saturday night with 5 lions on the track.

Can any of the officials / promoters / team managers please check what the rules are with regards poor weather during a SWC meeting. I seem to remember it was not very clear last time we had the SWC in the UK. Track Preparation. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we keep Mr Ole Olsen away from the track!

Yep..... Sticky: SWC Programme - Right Here! Direct from the SCB!

So no one knows the rules? Hopefully there will be no rain but it is a shame no one appears to know?

SWC TEAMS DECLARED All eight teams for the first two events of the FIM Euphony Speedway World Cup on August 2nd and 3rd at Eastbourne have been announced. Great Britain have brought in Eastbourne experts Joe Screen - who recently won the British Championship - and David Norris for their match against Sweden, Poland and Hungary at Eastbourne on August 2nd. Joining Screen and Norris are Grand Prix favourites Scott Nicholls, Mark Loram and Lee Richardson. Current World Champions Sweden have included three Grand Prix riders in their line-up - Tony Rickardsson, Andreas Jonsson and Mikael Max. Five times world champion Tony Rickardsson will captain the team - which also includes nineteen year old Swedish sensation Antonio Lindback, who was runner-up to Rickardsson in the Swedish Championship. Poland's Tomasz Gollob once again will captain his national team, which has a mixture of youth and experience with Piotr Protasiewciz and Gregorz Walasek no strangers to the world championship stage and up and coming star Jarek Hampel providing great depth to the team. Event two at Eastbourne on August 3rd sees Australia, winners of the World Cup in 2001 and 2002, led by World No 4 Leigh Adams. Current leader of the individual World Championship Jason Crump and World No.9 Ryan Sullivan provide the main support with Steve Johnston and Adam Shields providing important strength in the all important second berths. The team spirit instilled in the Danish team by their manager Jacob Olsen has helped to turn the young Denmark squad into genuine title contenders. World Champion Nicki Pedersen takes the reins as captain ably supported by GP stars Hans Andersen and Bjarne Pedersen. The fast improving youngsters Kenneth Bjerre and Niels-Kristian Iversen will undoubtedly by looking to make a huge impression. Write the Czech Republic off at your peril.

I thought this was the case but could not find it in this years rules. It is crazy not allowing a reserve to be on stand by.

From Louise......

I have 1 x British Grand Prix Ticket for sale. It's a £25 ticket but any reasonable offer considered. The seat is for the middle of bend 1 and 2 (not on the track of course!) but you can always find empty seats in any sections so you can sit where ever you want in reality. Any reasonable offer considered. Get in touch if you are interested. Phil

I still have a spare ticket, any reasonable offer considered

If you pay me on the day I can get you in.

Isn't the bus station closed at night due to the roads in the center being closed?

Does not really matter what is on the ticket as you can often find a seat in any section. Every year there has been several places in the VIP ticket area.

Thankfully I have got a lift with the ‘The Grim Reaper’ who ever he is.

Anyone got one for the British GP with the riders?
