A half a million pound stand that they can't fill doesn't help matters! If it's 1 Manchester GP you can think about tickets costing double what they currently are 🤔 Edited May 31 by IainB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's 1 Manchester GP you can think about tickets costing double what they currently are 🤔 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFTGNigel Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAST GATER Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
