Friday forecast looks ok Saturday and Sunday dreadful

Definitely didn't hodder the better rider.

Typical Poole cheating by using a different lower average for a rider 😜🤣

Hard to expect riders to be at their best when they are not getting regular track time.

That's why I questioned the 6.71 on the June 1st Declarations, issue 14.

Hodder is averaging more than Perry this year. He had a higher average (riding in a tougher position) last year. Glasgow made the right choice. Now if Perry keeps improving, then good for him & good for Workington, but that doesn't mean Glasgow made an error.

Cardiff could never match Manchester for quality of the racing . It had different things to offer though. To some people, that was just as, if not more important.

Being from a rugby league family , my parents went to Wembley every year for decades , to the challenge cup final. It was their sabbatical. No matter which teams were there , they went. Fans from everywhere attended. Speedway needs that sabbatical in this country. Wembley used to be it, then it was Cardiff . It’s vital we get a new one. The supporters deserve it . Whether it could happen is another story .

Round 6 next Tuesday 9th June with 4 matches yet Premier Sports schedule shows no Speedway on live.

Went to every Cardiff GP, but don't miss it. Manchester is better - Friday's meeting last year was better than any meeting staged at Cardiff.

Any business, regardless of industry, cannot hope to succeed when your "opening hours" aren't regular... Expecting your customers to have to constantly check when you are open, rather than just knowing due to consistent opening is asking, and expecting, a lot...

The track was definitely a factor because a percentage of the supporters were there for the social side of the weekend as well as the meeting itself, so track conditions, although important, weren’t the be all and end all. So they continued to come. However another percentage of the crowd went first and foremost for an exciting meeting with good racing, the social part not important, so when track conditions didn’t allow that , they became dissatisfied and stayed away , therefore numbers continued to fall. That’s how I saw it.

My god is it any wonder that no one (other than the Fords) can make a quid out of the sport how are you expected to hold onto a fan base with a month and half between home match's.

Stayed at Bridgend a few times and Porthcawl caravan site both not far on the train. Never understood why people stayed in Cardiff and paid crazy prices for hotels. Like you quid over the years especially when Bomber won.

what do you think killed it then ? my thoughts are crowds never came back post covid and the night Bewley won it the track was beyond terrible.

I once stayed in Neath which was a good hour away by train so hotel was reasonable. I remember that one well as I had a few quid on Crumpie to win and he went through the card . Unbeaten on the night.

Cardiff was a great occasion and the last gp held there was pretty good racing wise, the year before was awful though and that is probably what killed it although I thought they pulled the plug too soon. Nothing wrong with transport, plenty of trains and buses. You didn't have to book an expensive hotel, we always stayed locally, last time was Caerphilly 30 mins on the train.

Whats his average with bonus points added on? Please note: The AVE. column is averages including bonus points & GSA column is averages excluding bonus points. Official Green Sheet averages for 2026 DO NOT include bonus points.

It wasn’t a great occasion. Dodgy tracks, rip-off hotels, public transport awful and roadworks. Wembley knew how to deal with 90k fans. Tube trains lined up, coaches given parking space. Cardiff struggled with 30k fans. Cardiff was OK for those who wanted to be on the squirt but sadly fell short in other key areas.

You don’t re-run cancelled matches, only postponed matches. * SCB Regs CHAPTER 1 – DEFINITIONS & ABBREVIATIONS

Went there many times. Always looked forward to that weekend despite the dodgy surfaces they had to race on. The buzz in the City before the meeting won’t be captured again.
