The 2004 GP at the Olympic stadium in Stockholm was superb,I'd love to see another there.

I fear you maybe right but I have (blind!!?) hope that maybe the future is a little brighter than that. I think a mix of nice track/stadia such as Torun, Gorzow, Prague, Mallila, mixed with the likes Cardiff, Horsens, Warsaw would be a nice combination. Just dont see the need for Daugapvils, Krsko etc anymore at this level. Can't see Stockholm surviving much after this year. Shame, beautiful city & a great stadium/track but until another Swede is challenging for world honors it will be tough. Melbourne, who knows... Maybe Holder's win last year and Doyle hopefully being in with a shout this year they might get a crowd in the mid 20k in October. If that isnt the case I'm guessing that will be game over for speedway GP at the Etihad. Would be nice to see Manchester, Togliatti & with the current young crop coming through, a better German stadium added. There can't be any more than 3 GPs in Poland, that would be simply unfair. What still baffles me is this thinking that they can only go to 'Speedway" nations & citys. Supercross isnt any bigger than speedway outside certain pockets yet they go loads of different venues. It's sold as an event, not just a motorcycle race. Monster are the title sponsor for both, SGP could easily attract similar crowds. Blows my mind that they haven't tried for new markets.

Have a fun trip! Oh and I think I know why G Laguta isnt in it now hahhaa

This is true. Stepping out of the Stadium and being right in the "Mixer" is a great thing for the fans. The Olympic Stadium is much better than Wembley on that front but still not as good as Cardiff for sure. The Roof is key tho. Not Sure if the Olympic's roof would cover the track like Torun's roof does, but it's still not quite the same. They obviously dont but that doesnt mean its a good idea to leave a stadium that does tho...

Wouldnt it just be extra revenue?

The Olympic Stadium has retractable seating, allowing for more space to build the track. Surely this should be looked into. If they can cater for 50k fans every other Saturday, they could do it for 30-40k speedway fans.

I didnt know that bit sorry Point I am making though is more people come if its cheaper..

I thought this season league racing was much better compared to years gone by, Shame that this last transfer movement has caused a bit of a stir but on the whole this does seem to have been the best league season in a while. Crowds are in general up, results arent as wide as years gone by, the racing Ive seen (hands up Ive only seen via TV/YouTube) seems to be decent. GB isnt going to get anywhere near Poland crowds, but we should at the very least strive for what Sweden have. And it's pretty simple how that can be done, only have to look at Belle Vue Wolves the other day. Have a well prepared race track and competitive admission price and you'll be well on your way...

Well not ideal how this has all gone down. But with the amount Holder Slags off Speedway over here and his performances this season, hardly a shock. Batch I cant comment on as I've not really heard him say much or seen how hes riding this year.

Ok genius... People are saying he shouldn't ever be in the team. Clearly if we want ANY success in the next few years we should be trying to find a solution. And he did want to ride last weekend. You were one of those saying he shouldnt right? There was a good reason. There were a few in fact. Similar to the reasons Scotty, Rico and others walked away.

HOW some people still questioning whether or not Woffinden should be back in the team is beyond me. Let us not forget the team was Going to be Cook and Lambert this weekend. Thankfully Stevie W came in and scored some points!

Last years result was purely down to Tai. This year was purely down to the fact Event 1 was stupidly easy.

But where do the injury come from? Did h have an accident recently?

Cool fingers crossed he's back to pre SWC form in time for he GP challenge

I'm 100% not accusing Cookie of anything Just wondering why he's gone awol post Cardiff I'm a fan of his

Oh this is too funny now

Still wrong Bozo back to school for you. Well done! Anyway that's the last time you get acknowledged GB Oh dear. Egg on your face Rosco

Lol Well you've got that wrong and managed to make yourself look the fool Well done sir

Poland are good a speedway dude we get it Move on

Is Cookie actually injured or just having a meltdown?

They should be beating those 2 Germans tho...

Oh man it's tough enough loosing to Germany at football but this too

Been a few good races so far Emil entertaining as ever So much doom and gloom on here!

opening round should be at NSS. British Speedway is the best set up at that time of year

LOL ok.
