They get around 15,000 at Vojens which I bet costs a fracton of the cost of Parken to run. Doubt many people actually stay in Vojens, towns of Haderslev & Kolding are only 20-30 mins away and are decent. Been going to Vojens since 1999 and seen poor meetings & great meetings. Funny enough some of the better meetings have been when there has been plenty of rain during the day so the track produces some grip instead of being hard & slick. The facilities are not fantastic but ok and its a good atmosphere.

The different type of dirt where it comes from, can't exactly ship it over from Denmark to Cardiff. The reason Nigel was saying it won't be back next year was due to Eurovision, this site says Eurovision has been ruled out there : http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=eurovision_will_not_return_to_parken_in_2014

With last night being reported as the last GP at Copenhagen, will it return to Vojens next year?

Paul Bellamy said at Methanol Club at Cardiff that USA was looking 50/50 as struggling to find a date for the stadium that would fit in. He said a GP in Melbourne, Australia at the Etihad Stadium was looking more likely as the guy in charge of that stadium use to be in charge of Millenium Stadium.

It was known last week it was 12 July as See Tickets had tickets for sale last week if you looked carefully on their website.

They are better forgetting practise, not make it any worst any try and get it ready for tomorrow.

I know you are sorted now but buying tickets online close to event is waste of time. last year I looked at booking tickets about week before in upper tier and it only offered me few blocks best it said was about row 25, went to the ticket office on the day and got tickets on row 3!

All tickets sold, mod can delete this thread

We have 2-4 tickets together for sale for Cardiff, they are Lower tier tickets on home straight that cost £78 each, selling 2 for £80, 3 for £100 or 4 for £120 ono Email me at rbecking@yahoo.com

It is going to be more like Bydgoszcz & Leszno with little details the same as Hyde Road like the straights won't be straight, they will have bit of a kink in them.

Definitely, already been confirmed there will be purpose made covers made for the track same as Vojens.

I agree with most of what you say, difference is though current track runs once a week (if that), new track they are wanting to run 7 days a week training academy, residents might have a problem with that. Hopefully there will be some some sort of compromise on times.

You are right, Chris Morton did say at a fans meeting there wasn't enough room for full size pitch in centre. Maybe things have changed? I hope they have not compromised the track shape to fit it in as the track shape was designed first and everything else was designed around it.

6000 is the basic capacity, for SWC temporary grandstands will be put on back straight raising capacity to 10,000 and for GP's extra stands put on bends too raising it to 16,000 (off top of my head) This is the report being discussed today : http://bellevuespeedway.net16.net/bellevuesportsvillage.pdf

10.30pm at Belle Vue

Can't be, they had big Monster truck at Vojens giving away free cans of the stuff.

In the programme Ole Olsen says reason is due to facilities don't meet BSI requirements anymore. I don't believe this, you got places like Terenzano that have lot worst facilities and only get couple of thousand there. I think there is some politics going on, for some reason Vojens doesn't have a league team any more either. You now have a purpose built speedway stadium now that is going to go to waste not being used.

Yep reckon we have been to Vojens about 10 times at different times of year and always rains at some point over the weekend!

Last year we got free tickets from competition, they were high up and just moved after couple of heats. This year need to get some for group of 6 of us, will get cheapest and try to move but not as easy with 6 of us.

Where is the Millenium Stadium ticket office to get tickets on the day?

Was it? My first visit to Berwick as on holiday up here, I always say you can't judge a track by 1 meeting as all tracks have good meetings and bad meetings but if that was a cracking meeting I'd hate to see a poor one, was bored most of the meeting, just two decent races both involving Alden I think, majority of the races were strung out. Hope any newcomers enjoyed it, my little boy loved the bouncy caslte & face painting. Big positive was 15 heats completed before 9.00.

Only lowered the kerb, thought they were suppose to be making major changes to track shape?

I noticed that, I can see alot of people setting it to record at 4am and missing last hour!

Confirmed Colts not running in 2012, on hold for a season till new stadium ready. Not surprised really, last year they expected new stadium to be ready sometime this season, can't afford to carry on paying huge rent to GRA for small crowds plus fitting in fixtures on limited days a problem too.
