sam Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm sure the numbers have been posted already, but just wondering how many spectators attended the WR at TTC? Seemed like a bunch of people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city trials Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm guessing on Saturday around 3000. Less on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm guessing on Saturday around 3000. Less on Sunday. They claimed that at the Poland World Round. Just unfortunate for the genuine press that 2970 of them had press passes - or seemed to think they had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Of more concern was the riding the opposite way down the tracks for riders, and also the vast number of spectators on those tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm guessing on Saturday around 3000. Less on Sunday. Definitely a lot less on the Sunday as the sections were virtually empty on the second 'loop' . Great for me as it was easy to get round but disappointing for the organisers who done a lot of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Of more concern was the riding the opposite way down the tracks for riders, and also the vast number of spectators on those tracks. The whole event was a nightmare. For a country that wants the event to return, they didn't exactly go out of their way to be helpful and boost their chances. Apart from letting spectators and riders use the same route and allowing anybody on a bike access to the entire course (an accident waiting to happen), the organisers refused firstly to alter the sections even when the riders said they weren't possible, refused when requested to put in press/minder corridors and refused to let the Youth and Junior podiums run whilst they debated over Raga's protest about Fuji (when there was no protest to answer). They also let anybody in the press/minders corridors - and even into the sections themselves whilst riders were in there!!! - without any kind of bib or marking and gave press bibs to anybody who wanted them. Poland isn't the only place that's badly out of line. The Championship needs a co-ordinator that is present at every event to make sure the pre-requisites are met i.e. Spectators not sharing the same route as riders, no unofficial bikes on the course, properly designated areas for press and minders etc etc. If the event does not meet the pre-requisites then it should not run and any infingement should be heavily fined. They'd soon tow the line. PS. Topic moved to the World Championship Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Apart from that it was good though....... You didn't mention the brat zipping around on his 125 Gas Gas when Raga and Fuji were trying to be interviewed. Nearly got a clip round lug hole.

brian r Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Andy, are you talking about Poland or the USA? The thread is about TTC but I'm guessing it's the Poland WR your talking about. Let me know if it's not because the STRA club wants feedback on how to make the next WR there better (USA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Andy, are you talking about Poland or the USA?The thread is about TTC but I'm guessing it's the Poland WR your talking about. Let me know if it's not because the STRA club wants feedback on how to make the next WR there better (USA). It was originally about TTC, but deviated so I moved it to this forum. I'm talking about Poland. TTC was one of the better ones this year! Riders and spectators on seperate routes - yup. Control over who got press bibs - yup. Good press/minders corridors - yup. No public in the sections/corridors - yup (though that is more an understanding thing by the public as to why the corridors are there - Mainland europeans seem to ignore the reasoning behind it!) I think the only problem I had at TTC was the speed of getting results. Charly in one place, the organisers in another and the press in yet another (although the air-conditioned RV the girls from Tennessee Outdoors was VERY welcome!) It is so vital we get results as soon as Charly releases them. One to bear in mind for future events. PS. I also had a problem with Al B's moonshine - does that count?

brian r Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 OK, thanks for clearing that up for me. TTC was the best one I've ever been to. (only one ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 The TTC was a good event I thought. The terrain was truly superb for trials - Amongst the best trialing terrain I have seen ( at the top level that is ) . I want to go back there for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cota kid Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'd go back to Poland, great weather, good beer, friendly people and you can't spend your money. From a spectators point of view I thought it was very good. Flys were a bloody nuisance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
