surely British speedway should look at their model and how they grew it, its probably gone too far here so no big business would come onboard as a main sponsor as speedway as nothing to offer and can you imagine councils here getting behind their local clubs with the backing they get over there, at least Manchester council got behind the stadium here or we wouldnt have a club let alone a GP.

Poland and the UK are two very very different countries, culturally, economically and politically.

And while watching it on tv moaning or otherwise continues it will be the death of the sport in the uk but at least the racing will be great eh, which is the whole point I’m trying to make, we have to make people want to go and great racing isn’t it unfortunately 

If it wasn’t on tv or streaming, you’d have to attend in person - and pay - to get your dose of speedway.

I have to call you out on this one. You can’t say ‘nobody’ just because you don’t, a lot of people use this as a weekend away to see a new city, especially people from around the world and not just UK. It does make a different to have nice food / drink / build up for atmosphere. SGP is a bigger picture, it should be a festival of a weekend away, for locals who tell the story of Belle Vue being the best track and the best racing it’s something they will defend with honour, and I agree 100% it’s the best racing we have and probably will see this racing calendar. But for some people they would choose Cardiff simply because of the ‘experience’ and there isn’t a right or wrong choice because it’s people personally preference. Also to say ‘Belle Vue is the only place to watch speedway is 2025’ is pretty poor and short sighted and show that you haven’t seen much speedway elsewhere live. Everyone from Ipswich and travelling Sheffield fans would beg to differ after Thursday’s meeting which was miles better than some league meetings I’ve watched at Belle Vue. I would suggest every year for Belle Vue to have a SGP but also SGP to hold another, if possible, at a stadium in UK like London stadium (West Ham) or back to Cardiff if possible so people get a choice. Saying all of that I am very much excited for tonight’s meeting again and loved last night so I’m not hating on NSS at all. It’s a shame they couldn’t get a 5 year contract for a SGP guarantee and then use that money to join the two stadium together instead of the temp stand.

I went to Cardiff once in the first year and I walked out after 5 races - loads of others did as well.  It was pants.  Rubbish track, stadium barely a 1/4 fulI.

 

i wouldn't bother with any other of the joke venues we have in the UK even if you gave me a free ticket

I tried my best not to comment on Tatums commentary skills or lack of during this GP weekend but I have failed. He is simply awful and needs binned for this sport to try and become mainstream entertainment. He barely comments on the actual racing and focuses on saying things like jet propelled and working overtime… no doubt about that.
