    It was the correct decision. They’re building a team spirit and riders such as Brennan and Ellis have time to improve still. 

    Any criticism of our team or the management after missing out on the World Cup in the final race is a little silly if you ask me. 

    Ellis will never improve past where he is.   His size and weight on the bike will hold him back.

    When I got rugby tickets last November thru Principality app they come to your smartphone approximately 4/5 days before you are due to attend and there's no customer service contact to get in touch regarding the whereabouts(I sent an email to Welsh Rugby Union and was told that tickets would be with me shortly:neutral:)to find out where your tickets are:rolleyes:Whether it's any different for Cardiff GP I don't know:unsure:Lets hope the app has got better than it was:t:

    You got in and saw the game.  It worked.

    You're spot on TINYS;)Last November I'd purchased tickets for Wales rugby matches at the Principality Stadium and were paperless,so only way of entry was via the Principality App and a COVID passport!:rolleyes:My Father in his late 70s got extremely agitated as he hasn't got a smartphone or even an internet connection(no PC) was at a complete loss on how he was going to attend.A real stress which is unnecessary:angry: Whoever makes these decisions on this is how it's gonna be needs a good kicking imo:unsure:Can anyone tell me what's wrong with having a ticket/tickets sent in the post ,available to collect on the day of the event,or print at home;)

    Saves money, saves paper, saves the enviroment with no waste to tidy and more secure as you can't lose your ticket.  Stops petty theft at the stadium.

    Fully booked up for Warsaw but like above, have a late cancellation for hotel room.

    I’ve every intention of getting over to Italy in April - where better to spend my 30th birthday!  

    I've no confidence travel without quarantine on both legs of the trip will be possible until mid summer.  Maybe if the person is vaccinated will make it possible.

     Don`t forget the track isn`t necessarily best the 1st race after a grade- i accept that it normally is

    Smiling at the contradiction of what you say.   

    One thing that is certain.  The first rider gets a much better track than rider 5,6 and 7.   Timed practise is worthless as the track is not the same for every rider.  Just my opinion of course.

    Whatever you think is your opinion. If one listens to the riders- they want to do it and were upset when they were forced to be elsewhere, now it`s a level playing field with everyone there and don`t forget the order they go out is determined by the time set in " free practice" before the main TV programme starts. One could argue that it`s just done for TV, but is that such a bad thing ? The Extraleague have plenty of dates available as reserved fixtures to move these 2 Friday`s matches( or even the whole round if they want to)

    You are right. What I think is my opinion.

    You do not answer the points I made.   

    Practise is worthless if it is proven the last pick can win a GP.   Justify practise on that statistic.

    How can the track be the same for all 16 riders if there is no grade after each rider ?

    Already lost my DB trains money, they were offering cash refunds up until the day of my travel, no provision was made after that.

    Eurostar have extended my vouchers twice but atm have to be used by April. So gonna have to pay that again as well.

    Hoping hotels will be a simple transfer over though.

    Having experienced Warsaw in 30 degree plus heat (may 2018), i can only imagine how nice it may be in August.

    Still one of my favorite cities in the world.

    Instead of losing the train money maybe there is league racing that weekend ?

    You really have to wonder why they announced it for May in the first place. As soon as that date was announced there were plenty of people questioning whether that was a viable date.

    This is right.   It did seem madness to announce a May date for an indoor stadium that was sold out.  It's probably cost fans a tidy sum in wasted flights.  The calendar was only announced a few weeks ago and nothing has changed with Covid since then.   Before anyone says 'Vaccine' it is well known they will take many months to roll out and take effect.

    We did have a SEC dates thread already , however it was in the GP and SON section in error. The final round dates also have been announced.

    12.06    Final 1    TBA / PL
    26.06    Final 2    TBA / TBA
    03.07    Final 3    TBA / TBA
    10.07    Final 4    TBA / PL

    I started that thread.   It was put with the GP's stuff as there is qualification to the GP series.  Seemed to have a natural link.   No pleasing some folk.
