what could be better ? how long have you got ?

I accept your a travel agent but R&R you know what I mean. NO flights from the UK.

I control nothing. you are correct its a forum but why do people post rubbish. it devalues the great stuff on here. The rubbish is only posted by idiots with nothing else to do. If you're one of them ????

that is my point. No issue with Russia getting a GP / SON but why race in the middle of nowhere, an hour in a taxi from a small provincial airport, that gives the huge majority of fans little of no chance of attending. Moscow would be fine as you can get there by direct flight. Togliatti is a rubbish track too.

Lovely. Minimum two flights and an hour with a Russian taxi driver.

you miss the point, read the post above

It may not be a failure but, reading this forum, the track is poor for racing. It's from the gate in most races. Crowds may be decent but not many will travel from the hard core of European fans who support the GP / SWC / SON each year. The track is in the middle of nowhere.

You cant use the Champions League as an example. Loads of football played that side of Europe so they deserved a top game and the Euro's a few years ago. I think the country geared up for a huge influx of fans, laws were relaxed, policing, visa's etc Speedway is different.

see my earlier post about 30 pages of pointless speculation and rumour. why bother posting until stuff is confirmed.

Another bit of brain dead management to have SON in Russia. The most difficlut place to get to for the huge majority of European fans and a terrible track for racing.

Shame for all involved. I was hoping to visit a couple of GPs next year but the no airport / woodland venues do not interest me either. But I'll see what price is charged, you never know.

Agree with you Philip. A shame for 99% of fans who muct be from Europe. Maybe Woffy will win in Torun anyhow. Too many venues in the middle of nowhere making it hard for fans to travel without complication on flights and getting to the track. A good year lies ahead for the travel companies who provide packages with coach transport.

Cannot get too excited about this list. From Hallstavik to Vojens there are 4 from 5 GPs raced in the middle of a forest nowhere near a decent town nor an airport. Not exactly fan friendly.

I agree.

Was it just me that thought the racing was less exciting than previous years. Some good heats but many from the gate.

provisional must be used because no date given for Australia yet. it is badly worded but that is my thought.

I'm happy with the wild cards. Maybe Pedersen could have had another year as he was injured this season so his points total suffered but going for younger guys not a bad thing. Never for a minute did I think Lambert would get in the top 15. Too soon for him. How many points did he get in Wroclaw at the SON ? One year as first GP reserve and doing the Euro's could set him up very well for 2020 GP's. Pedersen was offered 1st reseve but turned it down. This confirmed by Nigel Pearson on comms last night.

Will take your advice as that is easier than reading 30 pages of posts from clueless people guessing and making up rumours.

OK lets have 30 pages of mindless speculation.

Ref got that right

that is rubbish, just like the two decisions.

referee having a shocker

terrible decision as there is clear contact on MPT's left leg

can we keep to certain 100% signings not guesswork.

are you serious ? the only way you can overtake is ride the fence but the riders in the lead are on that bit of track first
