It's a six hour drive and then the cost of a hotel. Went to Prague instead for one night and spent less than it would cost to go to Manchester plus had a lovely city to spend time in at cheap prices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTheAce Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 5 minutes ago, Hawk127 said: Not sure you can get too excited by tonight’s racing. It is OK but certainly not worth the ticket prices being asked for tonight’s meetings. Sadly not many if any can compete with a Polish round and the enthusiasm of the Polish crowd. Another point, are the Polish riders finding the UK track difficult? Bewley is a massive miss for atmosphere wise here. Was 10 times better last year. And even then you an not compare the atmosphere to Poland over here. They are biblical. We can only dream of that.

Mr. Clemens Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Might be a good idea to give Glasgow a GP. I think the people there would bend over backwards to put on a memorable show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I can spend a weekend in Spain cheaper than I can spend a weekend in London. UK is an expensive place to live. But we're also paid much better than most in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many programme savers in wulfspurt jackets Agree and I am sure if Bewley had been riding the meeting would be at another level. Yes a rider of his calibre can make all the difference and hopefully in 2027 he will be at Belle Vue showing them how it is done. Onwards and upwards and fingers crossed Dan can get back in the saddle soon. He is a future world champion and his time will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only 5 mins from the track I've spent a bit of time around the place these last couple of days and I'm sorry to say the impression I got was that it's a gridlocked 5h1thole (like many British cities these days), I'm sure the centre is probably okay but I doesn't go to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
