Jenn 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Looking forward to Friday September 18th I see this years Grand Prix Challenge is due to be held at Coventry. Does anyone know if Sky has any intention of covering this meeting? They don't normally!! I reckon this meeting will suffer a disappointing turnout from supporters! With "Lemo's Big One" being on the same night and Jason Crump amongst the names riding there, it could be a crowd stealer. It comes to something when folk from Cov will be travelling to Somerset rather than going to Brandon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Bee 57 Posted August 4, 2009 25 quid to stand where I normally stand at a league match for what isn't a stunning line-up isn't appealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richspeedway 327 Posted August 4, 2009 I doubt it will be on Sky but I will be there with my Finland flag cheering on Nemo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Does anyone know if Sky has any intention of covering this meeting? It's possible. The GP challenge is normally covered by a local broadbcaster. I'm almost certainly going to Someset that night, Crump, Zagar and PK at Somerset vs Zorro, Smoli and Nieminen at Brandon. Not a hard decision! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) What IS the line-up then..? Funny that people say the GPs are so great but there's little interest in the only meeting which actually allows people to qualify (rather than be selected by someone at a desk!) for it!! Contrast with the huge interest in the past and huge excitement of penultimate rounds of the World Championship: the '76 & '77 Intercontinental Finals at Wembley & White City respectively spring to mind....

Some people have paid £65 for next years Cardiff GP tickets, without the guarantee that the racing will be any good. What IS the line-up then..?

Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted August 4, 2009 GP Challenge Line Up Many thanx. And I think that's a VERY good line-up. A 'proper' 16 rider, 20 heat meeting with just the top three berths to chase... Should make it mega competitive.. I might go up for this one... Certainly appeals far more to me than a pointless GP' round'...!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

London Witch 57 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) A decent line up, better than I expected. I think Jarek and Pepe are sufficient incentive for me to go. Got the day booked off already. Edited August 4, 2009 by London Witch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,859 Posted August 4, 2009 Looks like a great line up to me, should be some cracking races. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandie 53 Posted August 4, 2009 It may be local but I think we will be heading south to Lemo's testimonial as the GP line up doesnt appeal that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason its the "only meeting which actually allows people to qualify" is because there have been 6 other meeting to get to this point, thats excluding any National rounds held by each country. Every half decent rider in the UK had the chance to qualify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
