Track is good aye. But the stadium size, facilities and surrounding area would be a disaster. Only one hotel within walking distance, the nightmare of Manchester's public transport... Honestly wouldn't want it held here... Would rather it was in Poland again in an actual nice city with a stadium which is capable of holding such an event 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you would rather have Brit fans travel 400 mile or more to a city centre elsewhere. British speedway down in the dumps and you don’t want it to have a world class event. I find that amazing. You know very well the speedway racing would be amazing at NSS. Some speedway GP tracks are in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of forest even. The racing can be lousy at some but others produce amazing racing and true supporters flock there because……. it’s speedway racing at its best. When professional speedway is dead in the UK you will be wishing people with an attitude like yours would have supported the fact a UK speedway track is deemed worthy of of top class meeting that encompasses the worlds top speedway riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,018 Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) Still not a "New Era" then... still waiting for GP's in new venue's, taking it worldwide, still waiting for a Drive to Survive style series... 4 GP's in Poland! Edited November 10, 2023 by iainb 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJC 251 Posted November 10, 2023 The announcement states 10 rounds, probably tells you all you need to know about improvements if they can't even count what has previously been written! Probably given the Poles an extra round to appease them after the toys out of the pram when Zmarzlik was banned from Vojens. Zmarzlik 4/6 on Skybet for WC should be 1/10 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think Manchester is vibrant... What do you think of Bradford? Practically heaven on earth ey? So what, the Brit fans 'have' to travel 400 miles... I personally see it as a holiday but oh well What about the Swedish fans? The Danish fans? The Aussie fans? They all have to travel too... Yeah, it would be good for the sport in this country... But it's not exactly an interesting and exciting holiday destination for anyone within the uk or from outside the uk... Just boring. Speedway in this country is dead, it has already been run into the ground by greedy hands, so I'd rather go watch it elsewhere thanks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck in getting a room booked in the local village. And the racing is not so “hot” either. Edited November 10, 2023 by OveFundinFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
