SGP 2004 Calendar Announced

Recommended Posts

I will be coming over next year for about 4-5 weeks. Cardiff & Copenhagen for sure ;-)

My question is Sweden or Slovenia - which one would you pick?

I know Sweden is expensive but don't know to much about Slovenia.

 

Id go for Stockholm for sure Ozyace, it is expensive for alcohol but stockholm is a beautiful cosmopolitan city, the transport system is excellent as is the restaurants etc and the swedes are all welcoming. Slovenia is pretty, but its very isolated and there is no transport system. I thought the atmosphere at the GP was better in stockholm too ;-)

Have to say I was surprised to read of the possibilty of 2 German GP's on the calender next year, I thought Poland would definitely have 2. I am aiming (wishing more like!) to go to Cardiff, Copenhagen, Prague, and Bydgoszcz next year -especially as I won't be going to Norway :-(

Ohhh the possibilities!!! How is a girl supposed to choose? Me thinks that a trip to cardiff is def on for next year and then Prague (with my free ticket from John Poshbloke!). Lets hope that Scotty gets his first win in front of his home crowd - how fab would that be!!!!!

 

Two GP's in GB would be fab but i have no idea where they would stage the second. Somewhere up North would be nice but you have to juggle the dodgy weather!

That would make for a good meeting! Lets hope that Lee can fair slightly better than this year - he's definately had his share of bad luck but with some moments of genius thrown in!

 

I suppose asking for Mark Loram to finish 3rd would be a bit much?

Funnily enough Lioness there have been Speedway page 3 fellas...well page 7 actually...as I've just found them in my scrapbook. I can't think why I kept these cuttings from 1985, but there is one of John Davis and another of Andy Campbell (who you've probably never heard of). Both are sitting on their Speedway bike and are stripped down to their underpants. :P

Sadly I have also come across cuttings of the Billy Sanders tragedy (1985) and Kenny Carter (1986). Makes very depressing reading and such an awful waste of their lives. :-(

Mmmm...I've got quite a few of Bruce Penhall shirtless, but I don't like to mention his name because it encourages comments - - - - allegedly. :lol:

Bring 'em back I say....starting with the ones who have recently turned 40 :shock:

 

One of these days Gem I am going to persuade you to bring your scrap books along to a meeting when I get down to Brandon and I can have a good rummage through :)
