I must admit that I thought the crash with Cookie and Howarth was caused by the handicap. Cookie was nearly around Howarth on turn 3 but then Howarth seemed to just pick up some grip and T-Boned Cooks' rear wheel. If Cook hadn't virtually been around him I dread to think of the outcome of that one. Later in the meeting Ben Taylor nearly got collected by another slower rider that he was in the process of passing on turn 3-4. After the Howarth / Cook incident there was a massive meeting in the pits, which included ref. Tony Steele, Eric Boocock, and Neil Machin and I was almost certain that the outcome of that would be to scrap the handicap system there and then. I couldn't believe the damage to Cook's knee brace - god only knows what would of happend to the lads' knee without that on! The track was quite patchy (probably due to the very cold weather last night) and it caught many of the lads out, and I'm sure that this format with these lads would have worked better in the middle of summer with higher temperatures and a more consistent surface. Not sure if Taylor Poole would have won the thing if Cook hadn't had to withdraw though, but fair do's to the lad, he looks a special talent. Well done to Jade Mudgway and Ben Taylor too.

Many thanks 2nd bender, I remember the service being a frequent one but was concerned that if I went there and there were no trains coming back I would have a problem. I assume that after the meeting you just queue outside the station in Cardiff ?

Hello there, I am travelling to Cardiff with my young son and I was wondering if there is still the train service from Newport Station to the Millennium stadium, and the time of the last return train? I used this facility in 2005 for the Football League Play-Offs and it worked very well. I parked in Newport Sation car park for a small fee and had no problems in getting out later.
