Fullmax

A meeting for the Speedway enthusiasts , the ones who say you should be lucky you have Speedway to watch. Watched a few heats . Saw lots of gardening and little else other than processional racing. Switched off. Your welcome to it if that's what you like.

On a track like Belle Vue with all the passing possibilities it should be 2 semi finals and the top 8 qualifying . The old system. How good would they have been !!

That'll be only showing each teams home meeting against Ipswich (when they're back to full strength with Doyle and Thompson injury free) and on the other occasions just show Belle Vue home meetings 👏. I'd be happy with that 👍

It wasnt good was it . Best part of the evening was the firework display which finished with Live and let die ! Music during the evening felt like we were at a rave ! 💩 played at full blast ! Was wondering if you had a fiver bet on each ht for red gate, how much you'd end up winning? A few decent races with Lindgren , Madsen and Zmarzlik and that was it. Once Zmarzlik was top scorer it meeting over. He was never going to miss out. Wish he'd have chosen a different gate just to entertain us all a little more. Anyway who cares about the Speedway , what a weekend.

Watering track now , pre-racing

The only GP weekend where you have to remind yourself to go to the meeting!

Beautiful warm sunny evening. Track will need watering soon. Who cares what the racing is like ! We're in Prague, that's enough. Always a great weekend guaranteed 👌

Seen it now 😆

Do we know if Dan Thompson will be fit enough to take his place in the Glasgow qualifier and should he be unable to participate are there any wild cards available for nominated riders ?

Always said that its the whole Speedway GP weekend experience which is why its so enjoyable. We're off to Prague again in 2 weeks and we couldn't care less if it's the most boring and processional racing ever witnessed. Guaranteed we'll have a brilliant weekend.

How good is Dan Thompson now. He's come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and looks a real star in the making with a brilliant future ahead of him. Am I right in thinking that Joe Thompson at some point a few years ago was ahead of Dan and looked to be the twin who'd progress further in the sport. Hopefully still time for Joe to join the top table.

Just returned from Prague again yesterday. It's a brilliant weekend. Best transport system in Europe. Buy a public transport ticket at the airport from the ticket machine which is valid for buses, the metro and trams. Airport to centre of Prague less than an hour. No need for a cab far too expensive. 24 hrs travel costs adults £4.16 , 60-65 £2.08 and 65+ free travel. Marketa Stadium on the Green Line at Petriny metro station. We're going again for the GP in a few weeks.

Ipswich built the team that every other team in the Premier League would have dreamed of with all the team consistently contributing to the scoring Every other team assembled their squad with a few riders they wanted and filled the rest of the 7 with individual riders just to fit the averages left available to them They're the one team in the league I'd ever pay to watch home or away if I ever had the opportunity.

But what a great team. It's a pity that all the other teams aren't allowed to strengthen to try and match them a little more.

Will the winning rider from the British Final ( or runner up if Bewley wins) be the Wildcard for both nights GPs ?

But what a weekend 🤪. It's the only GP we've attended where the Speedway is an added bonus and you have to remember to attend. And if you really don't like crap tracks and racing then you must really struggle watching racing over here .

We've paid £600 in total , including flights, 3 nights accommodation in central Prague and GP tickets for this year's Czech GP. The exact same price as quoted for 2 nights accommodation at a local Premier inn for 2 nights in Manchester. I'll take a flat Speedway atmosphere in a great City like Prague any day of the week.

Yes , if it was anything like Prague last year, it pissed it down all day long until mid afternoon. The track covers saved the meeting from being postponed. I presume the same will happen at Belle Vue this year should the weather forecast be similar.

Interesting to see 2 Russian boxers Berbatov and Bivol fighting each other in the Main Event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night . Seemingly like the tennis, boxing doesn't regard the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a justification for banning athletes from their sports. Both those sports have coverage that only Speedway could dream of in the UK and I've never heard of any criticism of their participation in both sports in our press. What then is the justification for Sayfutdinov and Lagutas continuing absence in World Championship events?

Yes I know , amazing how the prices have plummeted. Again this year ,we'd already decided we were never paying the ridiculously exorbitant prices for a couple of nights in a budget Cardiff hotel when for a lower price we could get return flights , 4 nights hotel accommodation and train travel for a GP in Poland.

What a pity the Speedway GP in Cardiff has been cancelled this year. Just had a quick look on the booking sites and the hotels in Cardiff are quite reasonably priced for that weekend. I think a fair few people may have made a weekend of it this year 🤔 😆 🤣 .

Not really sure why the Lions team was announced over a number of days being as there were absolutely no surprises whatsoever in the team selection and 99.9 % of the supporters already knew the line up.

What a fantastic team Ipswich have assembled. The type of team that'd get you off your backside and want to go and watch if there visiting a track close to you. Time for other Premier League clubs to step up to the challenge and for their supporters to stop their constant moaning about the Polish League destroying British Speedway. It hasn't at Ipswich. Let's see more of the top GP riders over here that will draw improve the standard of the Speedway.

Tickets now on sale. Bought ours today. Another fantastic weekend in a great City is guaranteed with the added bonus of a Speedway meeting thrown in for good measure. What's not to like about that. 😀👍

But is a weekend in Wroclaw better than a weekend in Prague ! ? That was some weekend last year in Prague. Already booked flights for next May. Transport to and from airport to City centre and onwards to stadium can't be beaten for ease of access and cost 😀. Another GP weekend with flights and accommodation for less than 2 nights in a Cardiff hotel
