iris123 21,131 Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Interesting figures. Have seen that for some Horse Jumping tournament here in Germany this year(same time as the World Cup) they have sold 300,000 tickets and expect the crowd to total 500,000.It is on over the course of a week,but still try adding up 8 or 10 of the top speedway meetings and it comes some way short.

Hazzman 72 Posted January 5, 2006 Bydgoszcz - 18k OFFICAL attendance defintely but REAL attendance a touch above. Interesting to see that Prague this year was appartently poorly attended but it was a bigger crowd than 2004. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwoMinuteWarning 69 Posted January 5, 2006 Interesting to see that Prague this year was appartently poorly attended but it was a bigger crowd than 2004. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Crowds at Prague have been 1999 11,000 2000 12,000 2001 14,000 2002 12,000 2003 12,000 2004 8,500 2005 10,564 I was at this years' Prague GP, and I would say that their crowds rely a lot on how many Poles come across the border!

tarabanko 5 Posted January 6, 2006 80cc Youth Gold Trophy Final at Wawrow (Poland) 1,000 (2004 at Eskilstuna : 1,230) Silly that Eskilstuna had a attendance of 1,230 at the 80cc Youth Gold Throphy.

Mylor 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Crowds at Prague have been1999 11,000 2000 12,000 2001 14,000 2002 12,000 2003 12,000 2004 8,500 2005 10,564 I was at this years' Prague GP, and I would say that their crowds rely a lot on how many Poles come across the border! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ahhh 2004............I was there. It poured with rain from about 4.00pm and the meeting didn't start till around 10.00pm if you remember. I would think almost no tickets were sold at the gate as almost everyone believed that it could be called off. Say what you like about Ole, he made damn sure it would go ahead.
