Wroclaw final was sold out, but the other 3 races maybe 10-15% full. Maybe Lublin? Doesn't matter where you put them, if Poland are not involved the Poles will not turn up for the semi-finals. The attendance for the SoN semi's at Torun this year was derisory. When Bydgoszcz & Leszno have hosted the SWC race-off previously the attendances have been poor. I'd host the semi's & race-off elsewhere... Güstrow, Pardubice & Daugavpils if they want to keep it central Europe. Just as an example: Semi 1 (Güstrow): Germany Denmark Sweden Qualifier 1st to final, 2nd to race-off. Semi2 (Pardubice): Czech Rep Australia Great Britain Qualifier 1st to final, 2nd to race-off. Race-off (Daugavpils): Latvia 2nd Semi 1 2nd Semi 2 Highest scoring 3rd placed team from Semi 1 & Semi 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A completely different competition 😂 This sport of ours really doesn't do itself any favours with credibility.

To have a comp featuring 10 teams is in my view the best we can hope for- most Countries outside the top nations struggle to find 3 decent riders let alone 5. Hopefully decent crowds at all 3 venues with a final to be proud of !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the 5 team format suited this competition so well and the reality is there's been no other contender nations come forward since the time the 5 team format was dropped, maybe Russia. This competition would be better run in a group format with the top team of each group being promoted with the bottom being relegated... imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany won't be easy to beat in their own backyard though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
