Surely it's not worth anyone getting their knickers in a twist over whether, if they attend the Welsh Open, it might prevent them getting home to see the World Cup Final for England aren't going to be in the latter are they? :rolleyes:

There is a large screen available in the bar so I'm sure showing the football would not be a problem. Although choice between speedway or football...no contest speedway every time. ;)

After last seasons 4.5 hours for a speedway meeting and 45 minutes to run a single heat, I think I'll give this a miss for the first ever time.

 

Also, 'in line racing', riders had to follow each other on the blue groove hoping for a mistake from the rider in front because to move off line ment you lost a place. All in all a very poor meeting last year.

MORE STARS ANNOUNCED FOR WALES OPEN

 

Three more riders have been confirmed as taking part in the Wales Open Championship at Newport Speedway on Sunday July 11th at 1pm.

Chris Slabon from Poland plus Australians Cory Gathercole of the Somerset Rebels and Justin Sedgmen of the Birmingham Brummies join Ryan Fisher of the Edinburgh Monarchs and America, Ty Proctor of the Wolverhampton Wolves and Australia and David Howe of the Scunthorpe Scorpions and Great Britain plus Craig Watson, Leigh Janham and Kyle Legault from the Newport Wasps in forming part of the 16-man field that will contest the event on the afternoon after the British Speedway Grand Prix at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff the night before.

Commented meeting co-ordinator Laurence Rogers: 'We are pleased with how the field is assembling and in Chris Slabon we have attracted a rider who has not raced in this country since his days as an Ipswich Witch in the Elite League several seasons ago. With a massive influx of Polish speedway fans into South Wales for the weekend then our stadium at Queensway Meadows could be very busy indeed. I am waiting on the responses from other invitees and we hope to announce the final sixteen soon'

It has also been confirmed that six-times World Speedway Champion Ivan Mauger MBE OBE will be at the event to promote and sign copies of his newly published autobiography.

Speaking for those of us who can't talk underwater, I'm sure I saw Chris Slabon's name in there, Sandie.

 

Any news on a certain defending champ and Queensway Meadows regular?
