April 26: European Fim Speedway Grand Prix (bydgoszcz, Poland)

[PHILIPRISING 7,298]

So the crowd is down because of no Gollob but they wouldn't pay Gollob to ride. Clearly they should have paid him what he wanted then!

WOULD have set a dangerous precedent although, as you say, might have made economic sense

[BWitcher 12,453]

Hancock, you're meant to be a gating tart!

[PHILIPRISING 7,298]

so not paying Gollob means a financial disaster for the hosting club??

 

(as I presume BSI wont be reducing the fee to host it)??

 

Take it Richard Branson isn't part of the promotion team??

IT'S a BSI promotion ...

Yeah recognized that from his very first appearance. The Eurosport guy seems to be a good non-screaming enthusiastic balance.

fair comment.....

 

he got a bit of 'barry white' initially but you can see his enthusiasm and passion for the sport,,,

 

and he does it without uncalled for and unrealistic hyperbole...

 

(and SHOUTING)...

[spencebel 181]

What was i thinking , i meant Adrian M...

 

 

Glad Tai won his last race, but in his interview he was not happy with things.. Is it bikes, or something else, i wonder....

[mikebv 10,378]

???

 

Philip,

 

but don't the 'hosting club' have to 'buy' the rights to host the event, hence BSI have a guaranteed income regardless of crowd??

I don't think there is any 'might' about it.

Sad as it's a good meeting

BSI are running this themselves. They are renting the track and taking the risk themselves.

[Terry 1,319]

Brilliant race!!

Well done KK

[manchesterpaul 447]

Nice GP alas not many will be able to say "i was there"

[diamond_ren 209]

WOW! What a final!!

[mikebv 10,378]

How FOOKIN good was that?????

 

What a sport.....

 

One of a very, very few that is actually 'breathtaking'

 

Therefore, how can those who run it....

 

run it so FOOKIN badly!!!!!

[brandonbee48 1,194]

Totally brilliant final. Why we love the sport. KK take a bow

[pandorum 1,259]

What a final

great meeting enjoyed it

Is that a 'one off'??

 

I read that each location pays BSI an agreed figure and then promotes the event and makes 'what they can' by their capabilities??
