Nothing confirmed from Coventry but that would be brilliant!!

Sky sports news did a report about the Olympic stadium a few months back and in that report it stated they have money set aside for changes to the stadium when they decide what to do with it, a roof was mentioned in the report. I can see advantages for a gp in London but with Cardiff having a roof has to be the biggest factor especially the cost of the whole event.

Linus Sundstrom added to the line up!

Gp's for me! Its what got me back into speedway after the birth of my daughter. The qualifying does need a tweak but on the whole it does get a true world champion. Should be no more than 14 gp's have 3 in the winter in Usa, Australia and NZ and the other 11 during the European season but please try and spread them around and not have 3 in Poland, 2 is enough!

I would support Coventry having a NL side, we could easily run on gp weekends. Obviously admission would have to be cheaper but im sure there would be a half decent crowd on a friday night.

Hans Andersen and Lee Richardson confirmed!

So the locals dont have a right to support a well known rider in NZ who does a lot for NZ speedway just because some speedway snobs think he is rubbish, get over yourself. All gps should have a local rider at least as wildcard if it's possible, yes they might get 00000 but that's not really the issue. If speedway is serious about expanding than this sort of thing needs to happen.

Does anyone seriously think it was going to be a top Euorpean performer? To send out there equipment to NZ for one meeting which in the grand scheme of things wont mean too much to them. The logistics of it meant that i thought it would be an Aussie or someone who rides in NZ regulary ie Bunyan (6 times NZ champ) or Ricky Wells who was born there i think. Bunyan is well known for speedway in NZ so not the worst pick for tickets sales to the locals!

Reading things like this gets me angry with the whole set up of speedway in this country. Surely the BSPA should be helping young talented rider's like Nathan getting sponsership deals especially as he is u-16 champ. Also im disappointed in the bigger clubs in the country ie Coventry and Poole not running an NL set up, surely they could easily afford it and then youngsters would have the benefits of sponsership these 2 clubs provide. I would certainly go and watch NL speedway at Coventry.

It's the British schedule more than anything else which stops all the stars riding over here. What do the public want to see, Hancock or Klindt for example. Promotions should be applauded for trying to bring in stars for individual meetings considering it may be the only chance to see them live.

It seems some people are never happy!

AJ, Emil, Gollob and Hampel would be nice .

I do sometimes moan at Poole but its good to see they are sponsoring a heat at the Ben Fund.

Good start to the line up!

Cant be absolutely sure i be able to attend this my 2nd child is due early March. Wont be a bad place to wet the baby's head i suppose!

It wont ever be at Wembley for the simple reason they wouldnt want to take the risk with the weather while laying the track. They have Cardiff with the roof so they can prepare the track without any threat. I go to England games regulary and Wembley is in a poor location compared to Cardiff (city centre). The difference is that we now have a facility in Cardiff where the weather is not an issue.

If i get the time off i might be tempted to make the trip.

16 heats is the cut off point and they got to that, shame.

So i wasnt the only one who thought Gollob 'dived'. Shame the rain came would have been a good final few heats.

What the hell was Holta moaning at?

This is great news for the GP's, is this just for 2012 or is it for an x amount of years??

Someone on twitter says riders fighting with fans??

IF there was to be a brit for next year it will have to be Lee Richardson or Tai Woffinden. Im a big fan of Harris but i think a bit of time out of the GP'S will do him good and he can try to qualify for 2013.

Me and my daughter enjoyed last night and glad to see a good crowd for Phil.

Me and my daughter are coming to this, its a good line up!
