Id have to agree that the GP should be staged there next year. It does have the best look and feel for a British SGP. Would Glasgow ever get considered? Never been nor watched any racing but I know they are holding the SGP2 qualification there… what’s the size of it in regards to attendance? If anyone is interested in seeing the crowd levels at Ipswich v Lynn the. Go to YouTube on Ipswich speedway or British speedway just uploaded it (Adam Ellis and Thompson 5-1) and forward to 2:00 mark and they pan around the stadium.

Nah don’t land until 15:00 so I’ll miss it dammit! -
If you read another post you would have seen I said I can’t make it as I’m in Ipswich, on a Monday that’s almost an impossible task when you work Monday / Tuesday, Belle Vue is an amazing track, just totally out the way for people down south on a Monday night. Then you have to rely on the locals filling the stadium.

Granted they would pay for the Grand Prix but it’s only another £25 or whatever to watch the British final. It’s not a massive amount to experience another meeting. Totally agree with it being held somewhere else though. Needs to be more central for all fans. Not just for the north west speedway fans. This is when it would be perfect to have a new stadium for Coventry Bees to hold it!

If I were a Belle Vue fan I’d be embarrassed slightly. Bewley is going for x4 times and you can’t make the effort. I promise you if I had Grand Prix and British speedway at foxhall (would never happen!) I’d be at both and all league meetings… the feeling of being at a speedway event is brilliant. Manchester stuck up as far as possible for any witches fans to make the journey on a Monday!

More interesting hearing Picko say they have a best 1-7 in the league. Not sure any other 6 at the moment stands up to Thompson! Having said that, I could see them beating us in the next meeting. They are dominant at home and our boys don’t ride the best there.

People do love a moan. The track wasn’t perfect but neither is any. Yes it was dry, but so is every other Polish track when it kicks up dust in the summer. I saw comments about how British riders needs to learn from Gorzów vs Falubaz at the weekend as it was soaking wet but they still rode, now we have a dry track and people moan…professionals still know how to ride it and as for entertainment, it was entertaining, Lynn would have been happy with the track if they won, but they fell off and got beat. Deal with it.

I can’t rise to this as much as I’d love to! Explanation below: 1. I gave £25 to Ben fund when the walk was taking place. 2. I gave £20 to save Coventry bees fund. 3. I gave £15 to Belle Vue fund vs Sheffield earlier i have helped the three charities in need already!

Not if you don’t make the play offs! Lynn were decent at Ipswich, better than when Belle Vue came here

I must say, first time I’ve logged into BV TV as a witches fan, this is a highly impressive set with even the laps and time intervals. This is the best I’ve come across and even better than BSN. Kudos to the BV team who set this up!

Gorzów stadium is normally full on derby day but ‘only’ sold 10,800 or so tickets. Stadium holds 15k. Gorzów fans are still angry at the previous running of the club last year so didn’t turn out in full numbers and I was surprised to see only one banner from Stał and Zero from Falubaz for the rivalry. Good racing, track just about held out, throughout the entire meeting the track wasn’t touched once in all the breaks, although Anders rung the ref to tell him before heat two the track isn’t good for the junior to race.

I think Belle Vue will beat Sheffield at NSS, specially with Bewley and Kurtz performing well last night (tonight at Grudziadz will be interesting). It might be a different story when they return to Sheffield where I believe Sheffield will return the favour! Either way, this will be the best match up in the league for the top boys so far!
