Swedish Grand Prix
mickthemuppet replied to ladyluck's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
No problem with tickets. just turn up. By betting is that it will be about a quarter to a third full. 2008 they sold 16,000 tickets up to Friday night. Although the weather was glorious they only got another 1,000 on the match day. The trouble is Goteburg is not a speedway city, although it is a terrific place. -
Cardiff Gp 2011 Entertainment
mickthemuppet replied to robert72's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I think you might find there is slightly more to do and see within 5 miles of the Wembley stadium than there ever will be at Cardiff. Plus Ealing Road Wembley the shops are open until midnight. Wembley Park station is across the road from the stadium ,it cannot get much handier than that. -
A Return To Stockholm?
mickthemuppet replied to ladyluck's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
As Gothenberg has never made a profit and the attendances have fallen every year since it's return there surely this one will be for the chop -
At the moment I am watching Premier Channel on Sky and I have not paid any subscription charges to Premier. So is tonight's meeting just a freebie to get you interested. Well done Greg

Leszno Gp 30th April 2011
mickthemuppet replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
A rather worrying thing about yesterdays Grand Prix were the empty spaces in the crowd. It looked no more than three quarters full. Are the tickets too dear or is it costing to much to travel to them.. Does not look too good for the next GP at Ullevi where the attendances have dropped every year since they were re-introduced there. If so there could be less than 10,000 in a stadium that can hold 40,000. If you cannot get a full house in Poland will the GP'S survive. -

Grand Prix Speedway 2011
mickthemuppet replied to westo97's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Keep your money in your pocket. On what grounds could Hampel be world champion. A very fast starter ,if not one of the fastest of the GP riders but how many times does he ever come from the back. -
Quite right there should be noise restrictions on Speedway bikes at Mildenhall Stadium, Why can they not keep the noise levels down like the American jet do just down the road
-
If you want to take the worry out of everything then go by Travel Club. Then if you do your own booking of hotels and Flights on the internet you can go to two Grand Prix's for the same cost.

Does that also include Vegetarian Haggis?

Why No Second British Gp?
mickthemuppet replied to BARNES's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Wimbledon could hold about 42,000(Probable down to 6.000 maximum today) and West Ham,s Custom House 60.000. White City was constructed to hold 68,000 seated or as many as 130,000 standing -
Mark Loram Farewell
mickthemuppet replied to BobC's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Good luck to Mark and I hope he has a super testimonial but Alboy you are saying that Mark was way above all other english riders in the last two decades is not true. I seem to remember Gary Havelock winning the world championship back in the early 90's when it was a proper world final. Do not forget Mark never won a Grand Prix round, when he became world champion. In fact he only won one GP ever. You also degenerate riders like Chris Louis,Chris Harris and Scott Nicholls who were very good in the last two decades -
Sgp Draws - Will They Or Won't They?
mickthemuppet replied to manchesterpaul's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Surely the logical thing to do is make the draw at the previous Grand Prix -

What about boxing. Last weekend,s fight between Audley Harrison and David Haye generated £8.5 million. That's the way to promote sport.

Odds on what Speedway will be at Foxhall next season Elite League.................1/3 No Speedway...................3/1 Premier League................6/1 National League...............50/1
-
As you were then . Elite League speedway for Ipswich next season. I don't think with all the teams that want to join the Premier League in 2011, they could find enough dates to fit all the fixtures in.

Actually Speedway first started at Foxhall Heath on 25th October 1950 with riders from Norwich and Yarmouth taking part. Phil Clarke broke the track record in the final race in a time of 72.2 which lasted four years. Taken from Colin Barber's excellent tome "Ipswich Speedway-The first 50 years."

Blunsdon Abbey Stadium - Sbc Planning Meeting
mickthemuppet replied to SwineTown's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There is a Section 106 order if they go to build a new stadium so that will probably deter further development. -
Andreas Jonsson won the Grand Prix on Saturday yet only scored 4 points from his first three rides,.Is this the lowest winner of a GP after three rides

Surely not on his recent form. Danny King for me -
That's dearer than Cardiff. Not the interest now for the non Poles as there is nothing to race for, except places

Looks like it's shaping up to be a good meeting If it's as good as last year that will do for me
