Think you might find that a previous GP at Ullevi was started then abandoned as the track was not raceable. I think the Swedes have never forgotten this and that is why the attendances are so dire at Goteburg. I think that will be the last GP ever held there

I went to the Ullevi GP in 2008/9 and the weather was glorious . In fact the weather was far better in Sweden than is was when we landed back in England both times. They were both in May
No problem with tickets. just turn up. By betting is that it will be about a quarter to a third full.
2008 they sold 16,000 tickets up to Friday night. Although the weather was glorious they only got another 1,000 on the match day. The trouble is Goteburg is not a speedway city, although it is a terrific place.
I think you might find there is slightly more to do and see within 5 miles of the Wembley stadium than there ever will be at Cardiff. Plus Ealing Road Wembley the shops are open until midnight. Wembley Park station is across the road from the stadium ,it cannot get much handier than that.
At the moment I am watching Premier Channel on Sky and I have not paid any subscription charges to Premier. So is tonight's meeting just a freebie to get you interested.
Well done Greg
A rather worrying thing about yesterdays Grand Prix were the empty spaces in the crowd. It looked no more than three quarters full. Are the tickets too dear or is it costing to much to travel to them.. Does not look too good for the next GP at Ullevi where the attendances have dropped every year since they were re-introduced there. If so there could be less than 10,000 in a stadium that can hold 40,000. If you cannot get a full house in Poland will the GP'S survive.
Keep your money in your pocket. On what grounds could Hampel be world champion. A very fast starter ,if not one of the fastest of the GP riders but how many times does he ever come from the back.
Quite right there should be noise restrictions on Speedway bikes at Mildenhall Stadium, Why can they not keep the noise levels down like the American jet do just down the road
If you want to take the worry out of everything then go by Travel Club. Then if you do your own booking of hotels and Flights on the internet you can go to two Grand Prix's for the same cost.
Wimbledon could hold about 42,000(Probable down to 6.000 maximum today) and West Ham,s Custom House 60.000. White City was constructed to hold 68,000 seated or as many as 130,000 standing
Andreas Jonsson won the Grand Prix on Saturday yet only scored 4 points from his first three rides,.Is this the lowest winner of a GP after three rides
They have just taken the US Tennis off to put a football match on with Andorra. Supposed to have carried on on the red button but I cannot find it. Haven't they got enough football on with 3 live matches on as well as soccer update.Don't they realise not everbody wants to watch football?
