I'm very disappointed with this calendar. I would much rather see Daugavpils retained on the calendar than the Italian GP....not to mention the failure to add anything further East

Shame Mick won't be car park attendant again tho'

Peterborough, Coventry or maybe Poole, at a guess. But I expected Britain to have the race-off and final in 2010, especially after such a song and dance was made in the Speedway Star of Britain having those meetings in 2009. I guess that the BSPA took a huff when they went to Leszno and declined to enter the fray for 2010. Or maybe they just realised that Great Britain will struggle to make the final, especially if they don't have a "home" meeting in the first couple of events.

I would obviously love it to be Peterborough, but would settle for Poole if not ! And we definitely need to have the race-off and final here.....how fantastic would that be? I said the very same thing this year . We have the capacity and facilities... and a much better grandstand than both Poole and Coventry. Plenty of space and parking.......and most importantly a fantastic track! It makes perfect sense!

We were proud to be chosen as the club to stage the World Cup and what a great meeting that was? Many say that it was the best meeting in Britain this year? Subject to the availability of dates at the showground we will be hosting this event again in 2010 which is something really to look forward to next year. But then again if we were to go PL

Interesting news eminating from Gorzow, according to the local newspaper 'Gazeta Lubuska' (courtesy of Roman Chyla over on the mailing list)... " In order to obtain the rights to stage SWC, Gorzow's Town Hall (City Council) had to comply with 41 conditions put in front of them by the BSI. Among others, the Town Hall has to provide and pay for several rooms and one apartment in "the best hotel in town" for the BSI delegation at the time of the event duration, as well as for air tickets, three cars and translators. BSI will also be given, free of charge, 250 tickets for the best seats on the Main Stand, and 50 further (and more, if required) tickets at half price The Town Hall has to "ensure availability ( at no cost to BSI) of four girls to be present at the starting gate", and those girls "must be accepted in advance (of the event) by BSI. Apart from that the Town has to act according to all reasonable requests from the BSI.. The most important condition is that Gorzow, for the rights of staging the event has to pay BSI 300 thousand British Pounds. But that's not the whole cost Gorzow have to bear. There are advertising boards to be bought, security forces to be hired and all other costs involved in staging such a event. The list of BSI responsibilities is much shorter, and consists only of two points. The BSI is to supply their own air fence, decoration box and advertising board used as a background during TV interviews, and clothes for the track staff - if deemed necessary. They will also supply six blank advertising banners, which Gorzow can sell to interesting companies, on condition that BSI will approve them. Other conditions are no less interesting. Gorzow is not to undertake any activity, or voice opinions which might be seen as harmful to BSI reputation, renown and image. In other words Gorzow has to keep its mouth shut. Also when it comes to disclosing any details from their agreement, which the local newspaper has just revealed All in all the whole document consists of 15 pages. When Gorzow's mayor together with Gorzow speedway team chairman recently boasted about the news of signing the agreement with BSI, they did not reveal any details. The City Councillors were not very happy when they heard that everything had already been agreed and signed behind their backs. After all any public money which is to be spent has to be agreed by the whole Council. And councillors learned the details not at the City Council meeting, but from the local newspaper. The last nail in the coffin - so to speak - happened to be the news that the first 50 thousand GB Pounds ought to be paid four days after signing this agreement. The newspaper revelation quickly reached the BSI who sent an e-mail to the Gorzow Mayor with questions about how the details of their agreement leaked to the press. They were very unhappy about it and complained bitterly that the agreement was confidential. " None of these relevations are particularly new, but it seems BSI might have got a bit greedy with the staging fee and have managed to upset the local council.

Ultimately though, Gorzow have agreed to the conditions. You could choose to see it that it's a good thing speedway is able to negotiate such a deal - it means there are clubs fighting to host GP rounds, which makes a change from the track closures we've seen over recent years.
Can't see that the council would be unhappy with BSI - more their mayor for making a decision without their knowledge (and interfering. I really detest local councils - utter waste of resources and worse than useless when it comes to doing their jobs.) They'll go off and lick their wounds, but I'm sure it will all blow over when they look at the extra revenue generated for the city because of it.

The money isn't going into the sport, but to a private third party. I'm sure it will all blow over when they look at the extra revenue generated for the city because of it. That would no doubt be the argument of the mayor, but lets hope he's got his sums right.
