stevehone 3,430 Posted October 11, 2014 I've said this before many times on my facebook or whatever, but does anyone here think it's a shame that in the current format we in the UK don't ever get to see the world champion crowned as we don't get the last GP. ok, so we have a GP here and it's a good place to go, but seeing a rider win a GP isn't quite the same, it's just a part of the process in getting as many points as possible in June/July. actually seeing the best in the world crowned would be amazing at Cardiff, I think the crowd would be good, and the atmosphere amazing.

Absolutely agree but the availability of the Millennium Stadium is a major problem in October and that's the only venue that could justify such an event. Wembley would be a no go as seen already weather wise this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,145 Posted October 11, 2014 Be nice if the final round did a tour of the countries (that have the stadium to take it). OK next year in Melbourne, but Cardiff in October for the final would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheReturn 1,724 Posted October 12, 2014 MELBOURNE is nine hours ahead, 7pm start local time, 10am in the UK, finish around 1pm. Still a slap in the face to the many loyal European speedway fans who follow the circus around Europe for several months of the season, now denied the opportunity to see the World Champion crowned for the next five years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted October 12, 2014 SENIOR moment ... forgot I was on Polish time so 10 it is. Would agree about having final round in Oz for the next five years. Also think it is a gamble for them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
