Been the last 8 at Cardiff , always loved it , but as most can see a trend of attendances dropping , it's telling us something .. Distain for 8 years , yes bloody obviously hate it , but still I go !!!!! As for the steward , I tend to believe them more than people's estimations , given some have attended the event since its inception ...

It was half empty , 32000 ...

Prodons is spot on .. The whole event seemed flat from the beginning , no pre race entertainment as per previous years .. Agree that the riders should immediately return to the start when a heat has been aborted , just slows the whole event down ... Racing was bland in the main , but can't blame the organisers for that .. Something has been lost from previous years , interesting to see what other people think .. Steward told me it was the lowest crowd in Cardiffs history , with just over 32000 and it seems people are turning their back on the rising costs of the day out .. Just a note that the grid girls stayed in our hotel and despite their obvious good looks , were arrogant and ignorant especially how they obviously feel they are some sort of royalty and treat others accordingly ...

Stoke Potters V Scunthorpe Stags 28/6
Craftman replied to Great Central's topic in National League Speedway
Very one sided tbh , but young Modridge is definitely a fine prospect who will more than cope with NL speedway and potentially beyond. Just to note that Armstrong reverted to number one with Wilson dropping to number five for Stoke. -
Stoke V Buxton Saturday 14/06/14 At 7.00 Pm And Other Matters
Craftman replied to Swift Saint's topic in National League Speedway
As predicted a 59-34 home win , with minimal resistance from the Buxton team . Liam Carr not as competitive as expected , but his win for double points passing 2 home riders being the best riding of the evening. For those critical of the organisation of previous meetings , this passed by in less than 90 minutes despite 2 re runs and some think it was due to people's desire to get home to watch some football match ! Best crowd of the season goes to show speedway can attract fans back if the right product is on show. -

Have to agree with Jayne , it's a case of all abide with the rules or don't bother at all ! -

Did any home rider win a heat ? -
Yep lots ! No reason for Stoke not to want this to be run with a likely home win

Can anyone imagine a football league manager going on a public forum to slag of the fans who have previously paid his salary . There are issues on both sides , but surely to continue to quote an Act of law because you don't agree with a speedway fans comments beggars belief . I'm trying to place Stokes Mark Hughes on the fan forum quoting one law after another , that's not relationship building methinks , Some fans are X fans for a reason ???

Well done Stoke !!!

Seems Stoke won after the meeting was postponed ?
