Speedway of Nations 2024
NickB replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Only fair to consider costs involved, I would imagine that there is a cost involved with renting the space for car parks ( with exception on Sth Stand) and security team to man them, all will ultimately be reflected in the end price. For comparison the cost of parking at newly opened co-op arena nearby is £25 per event (even when they end up being cancelled!) -
Quite right, same with riding 500cc bikes with no brakes at 60mph on a loose surface. Oh hang on.......

All very odd, medical team could clearly be seen conference with referee and team mangers, Lemon makes an announcement citing Chief Medical Officer as reason for postponement and then has to retract...don't think we've heard the last of this. The very least fans deserve is a comprehensive and clear explanation of events Kudos to the BelleVue promotion for at least trying their level best to complete the meeting

Pedantic and patronising! -
Warsaw GP Saturday 11th May 2024

It was televised, in full, with no ad breaks and multiple commentary (or not) options and also on demand after the event on a channel owned by WBD. The option is there for you to watch it, just requires a £7 monthly outlay with premiership action also included, I would suggest this represents far better value than Sky / BT subscriptions in the past. -
Any hotel along the A6 will be easy for 192, Travelodge or Holiday Inn Express in town centre v easy for buses and will allow you to enjoy the delights of Stockport as well.

Dunno, should have asked him today, was having a bit of a spring clean, seemed like a cheery chap!

Hope that the facilities, refreshments etc in the South Stand will be significantly upgraded to reflect the ticket price, although I fear this maybe expecting too much. -
Given that Woofinden was there, makes you wonder why he wasn't on parade...in the grand tradition of conspiracy therories, maybe he's got wind of the wild card picks, doesn't have one and is in a bit of a strop?!!!.....

Doesn't appear to be any available, great opportunity to learn the Danish for belt drive though......

Spot on, weekend prices will always be a high base this far out and all major hotels will operate a sophistcated automatic pricing engine which will kick in and increase prices as soon as demand from enquires for a specific date is detected. It's a system that operates across hotels, airlines, car hire etc the world over.

Not sure where I saw it, but a few weeks ago in a promo interview sure I saw Phil Morris mentioning a "test event" for the track this year, prior tobthe GP. Appreciate that this will probably be behind closed doors (like quali!) But not seen any further mention since. Did I dream the whe thing or can anyone shed any light?

Leicester lions 2023 (PREMIERSHIP)
NickB replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Fair enough, I have no reason or desire to get into any sort of back and forth with you, or indeed to defend Cook or discuss his own personal issues. I just felt like I needed to flag what appeared to be a flippant comment about a serious problem for many people. -

I agree with your sentiment that Cook is a strange move but please, "Mental health card" Shows a huge amount of disrespect for the many people who deal with issues or care for those that do. -

Sheffield vs. Belle Vue Grand Final 2nd Leg 13/10/22
NickB replied to TTT's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Poor comments from Stead.... -
Does anyone have any idea why Friday Qualifying is not open to public this year? It might not be the most thrilling spectacle, but interesting from a Speedway nerd perspective! Shame can't get in, was a nice start to the weekend last time!

And there was me waiting for a Glenn Hornby comeback...
