Very true, my work colleague in Swindon has only been to one speedway meeting, the last Cardiff GP. He thought it was excellent. Disappointed it's not on again this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's rubbish, and has been from day one. I seen some excellent races and good meetings at Cardiff, live and on tv. The atmosphere was up there with Wembley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belle Vue can showcase speedway in a way Cardiff can only dream of. Totally agreeI go there everyday for workThe City is a building site,end ofPhysically assaulted last week by a local junkie during my work break outside the railway station Been once for the GP and had a free ticket too in a partially full stadium.Has anyone been when it's rammed and you can't hear what the person seated next to you is saying?Riders getting hammered in pubs then pouring pints over decent folk. Apart from all the above it's a great City to visit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambo 1,338 Posted April 19, 2021 The University have agreed to carry our 2020/2021 rooms booking forward to 2022, and as we have prepaid, that price will be honoured for 2022. That is assuming that the 2022 GP takes place outside of University term times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we get it that you don't like the Cardiff Gp and Cardiff itself for whatever reason, but to say it's been follow the leader since day one is guff. That's not exactly true though is it.... remember Chris Harris following the leader Greg Hancock in the final in 2007 for 3 laps and 3 bends... BORING! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted April 20, 2021 DEPENDING on the Covid situation at the time and whether spectators are allowed in, wouldn't be surprised to see some double headers in Poland later in the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
