I dare say they looked at the finances/costings for one and it just meant losing money even with a sell out, personally I think it’s too expensive at Belle Vue full stop for one GP let alone 2.

They kept ramping up the price at Cardiff each year and look where that ended up, supporters just ended up walking away or watching it on TV, TNT seem to be going that way as well.

It wouldn’t be too bad if the racing was top notch but this years Prague GP was the very first since 1995 that actually had some decent racing and even some overtaking, I just thought it was me and the Glasgow promoter who thought the racing was actually important.

I agree, but I never paid more than £30 for a ticket at Cardiff after the first year after I realised there was an excellent view of the track no matter where you sat and I think the last ticket I bought cost me £23!

Exactly - My family (3adults and 1 child) have done British Finals and SON at the NSS. Unfortunately train fares , hotels and Sat date put a stop to the British Final. The SGP at Manchester add the FIM tickets to trains, hotel etc over £1000 even with advance bookings so stopped going unfortunately.

The weather forecast for both nights of Manchester is pretty appalling. Does anyone know what the contingency plans are if one or both are rained off? Race on Sunday or even Monday? 
 

Travelling up from the South-East so want to assess Plan B options!

We think it is important too. Andy has done a fine job at Glasgow since he first started helping them out a while back.

Could we have 2 in 1 day?

This weekend could have a huge effect on the  outcome of the series ,on current form Kurtz has got to be in line to win both meetings.

BZ never seems at home on this track I know he won one and was second in the other last year but I just feel he is not  quite 100% at the moment ,may have to settle for just getting to finals . Then there is the rejuvenated Madsen  he seems to be back to more like the form he's had in the past .

Definitely i would guess.

I mean if they moved Friday's to Saturday, would they automatically move Saturday's to Sunday, or just go straight for the 2 in 1 day? Anything in the rules? Or is it a make it up as you go along thing?

Sure they would rather not do 2 in a day but  officials, riders and fans travel, hotels would surely come into any discussions along with a detailed weather forecast.

Is there a schedule of events for the days of the Grand Prix?  Didn't go last year but have been to Cardiff plenty of times so just wondered if they do the Fanzone or anything similar?

Hopefully the fanzone will be better this year with more outlets for food , drink merchandise etc

Last years fanzine was poor to say the least.

Belle Vue have said the Fan Zone is on both days and will i suspect open for several hours before the turnstiles open.

I also know they have emailed Friday ticket holders to let them know they can attend Friday’s qualifying and Sprint race(2 pm start). They have to apply for a free ticket.
