One could argue that it was always traditional in speedway to have the support event during the 'second half'... :D

Rye House ran the junior meetings before the main meeting, the way it shud be done.

Think other rounds of the GP2 are nite before the GPs as I think they  are run on normal speedway tracks, but with Cardiff being specially built, think they are worried the track would be damaged before the main event

They shud be used to repairing the track at Cardiff as some of the tracks there av been very poor until recently.

They've even had to completely relay the track overnight once coz the shale was originally stored outside in the rain which led to it rutting up badly. Still did the same come the GP.

Practice the day before doesn't damage the track so why shud GP2? 

Anyways, wotever the reasons it's not doing it for me.

They have to announce who the promoter of the event is first before any tickets are sold- Discovery Sports events have said they are not promoting it like BSI did.

Maybe waiting a while to see which way covid rules are going ? Wales have stricter rules than England

If Welsh rules are anything like Englands then they change with the wind.

Could be bad news for the GP, the millennium stadium is classed as a indoor venue by the Welsh government, so strict numbers and covid rules,  an upcoming Tom Jones and stereophonics concert has just been cancelled due to strict rules !!   Things can change but does not make it easy for the promoter to sell tickets not knowing if the event could go ahead

That’s ok. Move the gp to NSS, sell all the tickets to Polish, Swedish, Russian fans to boost the local economy and the rest of us can watch on stream.

And even more ignored in practice, despite being supposedly stricter.

For the autumn rugby internationals the stadium had to have the roof open

Would be a massive gamble if the roof had to remain open, temporary tracks won't take any rain, I was amazed Horsens got away with it.
