Someone told me earlier today that the stadium is being used v early on in the Olympics and that it will take a month either side to sort out, hence the date change....
Definitely true - the press release was put on the SGP App this morning.
Saturday 25th August 2012 and a new 5 year deal has been signed
Early bird tickets now on sale with savings of up to 15% before 31st Aug this year
all info taken directly from SGP App for iPhone
Hmmmmm - I just put this on the 09 thread that has jumped up somehow.....
Apparently Ed has pretty much confirmed at the NSSC tonight that he's been invited to take a place and that he will be taking it up.....!!!
Except Tai didnt! As has already been mentioned he jumped the tapes last year!
Tape touching is not bad luck! Its rider error!
As much as I would have liked Tai to get a result from this meeting he was not unlucky! It was his own error and he only has himself to blame!
Harsh? Probably. True? For sure!
Saying that I hope he gets a GP spot as hes an awesome little rider and will be the pride of team GB over the coming years!
Now for Mr Ward..... What is there to say? The natural successor to Crumpy as top Aus. The kid is amazing!
Hopefully our local press will pick the story up and we can get a few more through the gate on Monday!
Well done to Paddy toooo! 3rd is a decent result - wish id know I could get 16's on him before hand as id have a few £'s each way!
I didnt think it was that the riders couldnt ride it the track....its that the way the track is set up lends itself racing - or it can be set up as a gate and go gaters paradise.
Olsen isn't known for creating racing tracks - he's known for gating tracks.
Red button I assume.....
Will be shown in full at a later time as was the case a couple of weeks ago.....
Edit - Just seen other thread - Red button it is!!
They don't normally!!
I reckon this meeting will suffer a disappointing turnout from supporters!
With "Lemo's Big One" being on the same night and Jason Crump amongst the names riding there, it could be a crowd stealer. It comes to something when folk from Cov will be travelling to Somerset rather than going to Brandon!!
I'll be honest - I watched 3 races in this GP.
Its a poor show when grown men throwing plastic balls at soft toys is more entertaining than a speedway meeting
Won some pennies on Bjerre coming 2nd though which was nice!
