Unfortunately the fixture list is just about a copy and paste job.Certainly won’t attract newcomers and probably find a few more losing interest.

The decline of the sport in GB is the obvious reason for Cardiff be no longer viable( relying on casual people turning up for a sporting event is not good business model).Discovery are relying on selling the sport to TV audience and don’t want massive outlay expenses ,hence the reason that they are running in existing venues some of which don’t have large capacities.The clubs and Countries pay to host the event and probably have to cough the money for Temporary Stands ect. .Thats what happened last year at Manchester hence the very high pricing, which backfired big time.Im sure Manchester will sell out this year though.(hopefully they will get the pricing right to sell it out though) Will there be profit in it for whoever Promotes it,is the question.

Cost of laying temporary Track ,lack of funds from Welsh Subsidies for event and declining crowd levels .They were virtually giving away tickets last year(£20) are more likely factors.When the World Team Cup was at NSS insure capacity was about 9000 with temporary stands at both ends.

Could be a surprise package in the GP’s.More consistent these days.

Did Faafeng lose his life in a car accident.?

Not questioning the signing,just pointing out the differences in tracks.Wish him well

Sensible.IMO

The size of the tracks may be similar in yardage but that’s the only thing.Osker will not find Armadale similar to ride as the tracks in Poland.

Thanks, wasn’t too sure.Hunter was lucky too escape serious injury.

Would imagine so.Plenty free dates to fit Border Trophy in but with BSPA fixtures Pairs and Championship so early in season would probably be difficult to have as season warm up.Always decent crowds though.

Remember Henry Harrfeldt at Meadowbank,very unlucky to be injured so early in his British career,looked decent maybe would not have reached the heights of hie brother but we will never know. Was at White City when (I Think )it was Fafeng collided with George Hunter and they destroyed the Starting gate standtion.

Redcar,Poole and Glasgow + 1. from the rest for Play Offs.

What was up with Fricke?

Think that is a touchy subject with a lot of riders riding in Poland.No one prepared to put their head above the parapet though.

“Out the box” signing,fair play too them ,hope it works out another new face can’t be bad,if he does the business it might encourage others to give GB a go.

Personally don’t think they will have any trouble picking up a Temp reserve.

Very interesting will he get round Armadale unscathed?

Exactly and They wonder why they can’t attract new supporters and keep them.

Shouldn’t even be in it.My opinion.

Farcical

Scandinavian?

Decent signing though.

Think they are just informing others that’s they are in the same boat.Think we all know the problems are not with the publishers.It certainly doesn’t show the publishers or magazine in bad light.IMO.Dave at Pinigen does a great job sorting out everybody’s issues with the greatest of ease and pleasant manor.

BSB is a tough gig these days,ultra competitive.

It was Oxford.(riding for Birmingham though,which is what you might mean)
