Picked them up no problem at the stadium at practice last year - reserved tickets were clearly marked within about 50 yards of the tram stop, just before entering the stadium complex. One for Joanne to elaborate on. From memory there is a bit of cover, however it certainly doesn't come out very far. I'm sure it'll be a balmy spring evening anyway The map at the bottom of the ticket ordering page is which Sektor/Gate you go in, nothing to do with rows, e.g. you may have a ticket in the main stand, sektor 19 - you enter through gate 19 find row x then your seat number. Rico Thanks Rico, will get them booked tomorrow!

Just a few questions: is it better to have sent the tickets sent to you or to collect at the stadium? Which are the tickets which have sold out already? I have just had a quick look and can't see any which are sold out? Is the back straight covered? I am thinking of having back straight tickets purely because they are cheap but I would much rather sit in the main stand. On the tickets website, it says for Main Stand - Row 25-26 - I can't see that on the map as the numbering stops at 24? Sorry for being dense - any help much appreciated guys

Yes I've just looked at the link too and I agree that it seems very expensive. I want to get my tickets asap but don't to book them if this isn't the official way to get tickets....anyone with more info??

Well I went to Parken last year and I sat in the Upper Tier of the first bend and I didnt really like it. There was no proper lighting so it was just sitting in darknesss. I had a good view of the pits and the racing but if I went back, I would rather sot on the home straight.

Cardiff & Wroclaw and most likely Italy

Easyjet stagger their releases, sign-up to their mailing list as a back-up and they might inform you by e-mail, otherwise just check the site regularly. Oh, and wait until the GP is confirmed Enjoy yourselves ! Rico <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cheers Rico, will get on the mailing list, by the time its for sale it should "fingers crossed" have been confirmed

Thanks guys for your help about Lonigo, had a good look at the map now So at the minute you can't book online with easyjet as the route isn't for sale, can you book over the telephone or does it have to be after a certain date? Hoping to make the Italian GP a mini holiday

Yes Lonigo looks like the one I might aim for, whats the best airline to use and airport to arrive at in Italy as not too sure where Lonigo is ! Is there going to be any cheap airlines going there or nearby?

Yes I've been waiting for the venues to be announced, speedway star and sgp website definitely says announcement before end of November, wonder if we will hear anything today!

Maybe you are right, there is nothing worse than a grand stadium only for it to be half empty. And agree about the racing 100%

I've never been to Sweden, although plan too in the next few years so don't really know what their tracks/stadiums are like - other than those I've seen in the GP's. I'm presuming that both these stadiums aren't exactly like Gothenburg?? Correct me if I'm wrong but if these stadiums are just where normal league racing takes place, isn't it a bit of a come down after racing in one of the national stadiums?! I know there was all the problems at Gothenburg when the meeting got cancelled but I'm still surprised when BSI ar trying to move the sport forward - that they are moving away from the larger stadiums. I'm sure both the Swedish venues will produce excellent racing and I hear one of the venues gets the largest crowd attendance in the Swedish League but I'm still surprised. Perhaps somebody can tell me a bit mroe about the venues. Maybe BSI are saving all their big bucks to bag Barcelona as a GP Roll on when they announce the full calender

So, has Barcelona been confirmed yet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, Barcelona hasn't been confirmed yet Kevin, just specualtion at the minute. Think BSI are hoping to confirm the venues at end of November so we will have to wait and see I would love a GP in Barcelona, I certainly wouldn't miss that - great excuse for a holiday! I would also love to see the GP series return to Oz as it would be nice for the Aussie riders and of course all their loyal fans who rarely see them "live" .

Well this is the GP abroad I'm planning to go to next season and I would like to see Pepe racing. However, I think somebody like Rempala after his performance in the WTC deserves a chance -but my money is on Pepe to be the wildcard

I'm really happy with that line-up I was very concerned Ryan wouldnt get a place but he will be back and fighting next year so really chuffed Rico, Nicholls and Hans were always dead certs and Bjarne has rode great this year so they are definitely the 5 I would have picked. Thank you BSI, great decision made on riders who are capable of winning GP's and not riders just being picked so fans from that country will turn up eg. Lukas Dryml etc When will the GP dates and venues be confirmed?

Any news on the wildcards today as Jeffster said he thought they were going to be announced today?? I dont like all this waiting!!

I certainly would like to know whats happening with the WTC as I wasn't sure if it was all in 1 country or not. I don't think I'll be in Poland for thef inal if I am going to the Wroclaw GP but I would like to see the semis in England if it all goes to plan. Hope BSI announce the dates and venues for the GP's and WTC soon, I hate waiting

So it says in the speedway star that the 5 chosen riders for 2005 will be chosen in a meeting which starts on October 17th which is when the ELRC is on. Do you think a decision will be made on the day and that we'll find out at Poole who the lucku 5 are? Or will we just have to see which riders storm off home when they receive a phone call

Tell me about it Rico! Denmark was good but Poland is the one I'm waiting for! 2005 is deifnitely the year

Hope they confirm Wroclaw date ASAP as I am booking it up once its definite. Can't wait to go to Poland

Hi JY2003, think I'm going to Wroclaw next year, just waiting for the date to be announced! Hoping to fit in another new GP too, still longing to go to Bydgoszcz put prob will do the cheapest one whatever that will be

Well Crumpy is certainly not one of my fav riders and never has been but fair play - he was the best rider of the season so I begrudgingly say well done on being Champ I was glad to hear Sky were so concerned over Ryan's injury tonight, everyone was more bothered that poor Crumpy was waiting for the re-run, infact it took several minutes for them to realise Ryan was still lying on the track. It was a very harsh exclusion on Ryan to be excluded in the re-run and I agree 100% with Ryan that the ref is an idiot Everyone seems to want a guest for Ryan at Poole on Monday I really hope he's fit to ride as it would be great for him if he's fit enough to help the Pirates win the final over both legs but I can see Poole being more than happy to get in someone like Adams (if they are allowed as I don't have a clue over all the guest rules everyone is talking about )

Well after tonights final GP we have 2 aussies through, 3 swedes, 3 poles and 1 dane. So I wouldn estimate that we'll have 2 brits given places in Nicholls & Richardson, Hans Andersen for the Danes, Holta for the Norwegian fans and for 2 good performances at the end of the season and I really hope Sullivan gets the final place. I think the final place will be between, Ryan, Bjarne and Lukas Dryml. I don't think Dryml should be picked just for the Czech fans interest as he's been practically non-existent all year, where as Ryan is a proven GP winner and Bjarne has a good future ahead of him, I hope BSI don't make us wait too long for the news of the 5 riders chosen.....and I also hope Ole doesn't have too much of an impact on who goes though as if so I can Bjarne getting the nod over Ryan

Agree 100% - what a dark day tomorrow will be. The day I've been dreading

Well I think if Denmark get 2 GP's like, Poland and Sweden already do, its only fair Britain get 2 GP's! I think Coventry would be a good place to stage the other GP, fair enough it not as flashy as the Millenium Stadium or Parken etc but it would be ideal for travelling fans and would easily get at least 15,000 people which is equal to what the crowds are like in Prague etc. We could have 2 GP's in Denmark, UK, Poland and Sweden and the other 2 rounds could be staged at Prague and Norway. The majority of speedway fans are either British, Polish, Swedish or Danish anyway so SGP should concentrate on where the larger fan base already is and try to attract even more fans. If this worked well then maybe the following year they could think of introducing a few new countries to the GP calender.

Gutted for Zagar, really hoping he would be the Champ especially as it sounds like he was unluckily excluded. I haven't seen it on TV, when was it shown etc?
