AndyM 1 Posted October 18, 2005 Doesn't operate with any concept of equal shares these days, does it? In the days of the individual world final, every country was allocated a turn to run the final. Frustrating but fair. I guess it's more to do with the revenues these days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first fifteen World Finals were held at Wembley before the success of Ove Fundin got Sweden in on the act with the 1961 Final at Malmo. The late sixties saw Poland get in on the act and the three year cycle continued until 1981. After then the final was held anywhere and everywhere from olympic stadiums like Munich to fields like Norden & Pocking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jools 0 Posted October 18, 2005 I'd like to see Tarnow get a WTC meeting. We went there for the Polish Final & the track was great, atmoshpere superb & racing excellent. Much better than Wroclaw. Come on BSI, go somewhere new! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 18, 2005 I heard all rounds are to take place in Poole. BSI want a repeat of two years ago and rather than go to two different tracks, will base the whole show in the UK's premier speedway town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be better at the UK's premier speedway city, which, at the minute, is Coventry. A better stadium and easier to get to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A better stadium and easier to get to. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But is not a holiday town. Who wants to go to Coventry for a week? I just about manage a few hours and that's enough! BSI want a holiday town, not an industrial city which offers nothing for the tourist. They would never, ever chose such a place over Poole. Award winning beaches, a vibrant night scene and a great race track. Granted Poole doesn't hold as many fans, but a packed out 7,000 capacity is better than 7,000 rattling around in a half empty Brandon. There is an atmosphere at Poole which is not found at any other club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would never, ever chose such a place over Poole. with respect coventry has excellent hotel facilities and an excellent night life have you tried it shovlar? poole has got millions of speed cameras and the quays thats all we have an excellent stadium with a history of putting on major events it saddens me that the only way you can put your point across is to criticise a city where in your own admission you have only spent a couple of hours whereas i can discuss poole having been born in bournemouth Edited October 19, 2005 by covbees7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazzman 72 Posted October 19, 2005 Coventry's track is my book terrible. Poole when prepared can be absolute brilliant, the World Cup of 2003 proves. Possibly the best racing and meeting seen in a while, race-off and final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightonbob 0 Posted October 19, 2005 When is it actually announced? So far on this thread, people seem certain its either Sweden, Denmark, Coventrtry, Bournemouth, Swindon, Kings Lynn, Germany and Vladivostok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tony159 46 Posted October 19, 2005 As a neutral.......... Would rather see it at Poole if it is held in the U.K. Best race track and crowd in England by far . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
