And the reason being?

Who cares? :lol: If it means me not getting back home again on Sunday until dawn is breaking then it's a good idea. I think our coach went back the "pretty way" on the return journey home. :wink:

Is it down to:-

 

i) TV demands

or ii) the Polish League has a round the next day

or iii) they've actually thought about fans when it comes to travelling and hotel rooms? :wink:

BSI Speedway, rights holders of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix Series, can today confirm the 2009 FIM British Speedway Grand Prix will start at the new time of 1700H (5pm) local time, at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on 27 June 2009.

 

“We are now coming into our ninth consecutive year at the Millennium Stadium and in a way the FIM British Speedway Grand Prix has been a victim of its own success. As the popularity of the event has grown it has been increasingly difficult to accommodate all the fans wishing to stay in Cardiff on the Saturday night.” explains Paul Bellamy, managing director, BSI Speedway.

“By moving the start time to five pm it allows supporters the option of either staying in the city overnight or returning home on the same day as the event.”

The 2009 FIM British Speedway Grand Prix will be the fifth event of the 11 round individual world championship FIM Speedway Grand Prix Series. Fans who book their tickets before 31 December 2008 will be able to purchase them at 2008 prices. Tickets are available by calling 0871 230 7155 or via www.speedwayworld.tv

 

 

So are they listening to the fans are are sales of tickets so low they need to do something fast??

 

Hmm- cynical thinking or are they doing good by the fans - you decide!!! :unsure:
