barrow boy 119 Posted July 30, 2014 Who goes through? No Fast Freddie for the Swedes? I think he has made himself unavailable and I think it will be Australia who will go through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,864 Posted July 30, 2014 Who goes through? No Fast Freddie for the Swedes? As I wrote yesterday, Freddie have stated that as long as one of the current team managers for the national team have his position, he won't ride for the national team. This also means that Freddie have not been picked for the SEC/SGP qualifications and if Freddie want to be in the SGP next season, he once more have to rely on a wild card.

Daniel Smith 5,705 Posted July 30, 2014 It seems BSI are struggling to shift tickets for the race off yet again. This time offering all Bydgoszcz season ticket holders free admission This is why the host nation should be in the race-off and not direct to the final. Then 2 from the race-off in the final 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then 2 from the race-off in the final Good idea .....but last year I doubt the Czechs would've made the top 2 so would not be in the final, which although making a better final might've meant low attendance for that instead?

mothorsen 39 Posted July 31, 2014 Neck 'n' neck between Sweden and Australia, with USA as the upsetters, and the odd win or second by Czech Republic. Good idea .....but last year I doubt the Czechs would've made the top 2 so would not be in the final, which although making a better final might've meant low attendance for that instead? There are probably more pre-sold tickets for the final, and it's staged in the weekend. The main racing event should be the final, and host nations shouldn't be seeded through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweden won`t even be close to the Aussies-they are certainties to win tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spanner47 336 Posted July 31, 2014 As we're not allowed any discussion on the race card section, can the Gentlemen who do these cards double check everything. I printed off 2 different versions on Tuesday and they were both wrong!! I don't usually print those things off, but in the SWC It's always nice to predict where the Joker will be played.

Thats innovation for you! Any news on the line ups tonight They usually have until an hour after practice don't they? So I wouldn't expect anything confirmed until then.

pandorum 1,259 Posted July 31, 2014 As we're not allowed any discussion on the race card section, can the Gentlemen who do these cards double check everything. I printed off 2 different versions on Tuesday and they were both wrong!! I don't usually print those things off, but in the SWC It's always nice to predict where the Joker will be played. To be fair to them I think a lot of changes in riding order were made after practice although I don't know why the helmet colours changed. They try to provide cards the day before and this kind of thing affects them. I printed off a one late on Monday and had to print another when I saw the changes. Won't get caught out today. They do double check which is why they had the right cards when the racing began and they provide a free service after all. These people do us a great service here and we should be grateful and not criticise when they try to give us stuff in plenty of time and get stung when the teams change everything. As to who will win it's as plain as day that Australia will be going through which is probably why they will be struggling to get a crowd even free. The race off is a great idea but without the host nation is of no interest to the people they need to attract. How many times have we seen an empty stadium for this? I think today will be just the same even if they give people free tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
