Seconded Im pretty sure there has always been an armed forces presence at Cardiff - guys abseiling from the roof springs to mind from one year

A great spectacle again though some of the 'racing' was a bit pedestrian. Pleased for Holder and it makes the next GP meetings interesting. What spoiled it for us was when leaving the stadium the 11 or 12 Polish cretins that waded into 3 guys just because of the colour of their skin - including stamping on their heads when on the ground and abusing the folks that moved in to break it up - sadly no stewards or police nearby. These cretins can f-off back to their 3rd world country with their 3rd world attitudes and never come back - on 2nd thought Im being unkind to 3rd world countries by comparing them to that Polish racist scum

Cheers - should be good for those that moan about the Sky presenters too

Thanks to all for the time, effort & links

Both points seconded. btw what time does it start ?

I only caught the last few heats - is it worth getting up early in the morning for the replay ?

Thanks for the links guys, much appreciated

Did anyone notice that this meeting employed the use of the "unique scoring system" ? - thankfully the commentators did mention it..... maybe more than once !!

It was a very poor decision but not the worst ever (see below) That was the worst ever - about 2 or 3 yards away from the incident and he gets excluded !!

Well done to the Bees who went out from the start and grabbed the tie by the scruff of the net while the home riders were whinging about the track. Sweetman was a star tonight, shame he missed a heat A ridiculous exclusion for Schlein - not as bad as the one at Wolves a couple of years back though - but Bomber was already heading down before Schlein lost control, still in the end it made no difference to the overall outcome

What time does it start ?

I know this is ahead of your plan, but is the intention to get a track going in the Tamworth area ?

We were on turn 4 and couldnt hear a word either - I just thought it was because we were in the cheap seats !! Im so glad I printed of a couple of the Kandysoft ones prior to leaving - I just used that and gave up with the programme. A good meeting and a great atmosphere but I also felt the attendance was down - the upper tier of the start straight was virtually empty - though maybe there were more peeps on Turns 3&4 than usual to balance it off ??? Would someone please tell our visitors waving red & white flags that beer is for drinking not splilling all over the place or, worse still, throwing - as one moron did with his beer and managed to annoy about 30-40 people in front of him

Anyone know where there is a reference to the ticket categories and the seating plan ? ie what/where is a category 5 ticket ? - I can find out how much each ticket category is and I can find a seating/section plan but nothing that tells you where the various categories are in the stadium. Thanks in advance

Frome HSE.gov : " You might just notice a 3 dB change in noise level, because of the way our ears work. Yet every 3 dB doubles the noise, so what might seem like small differences in the numbers can be quite significant." As I recall the Db scale is logarithmic so SCB is correct in the X + Y analogy. Two years ago a couple in front of us had a very small kid with a proper set of ear protectors on - yet when the noise got loud they would whip the protectors of the kid so the kid could hear how loud it was.... kinda defeated the object eh ? I had my ears ringing from cardiff in 08 on the Saturday followed by going to the My Bloody Valentine gig in Manchester the following night (including a prolonged white noise spell during 'You make me realise') - my head was buzzing for days

Im watching on a Polish stream - what is the delay ? - what the hell is happening ? - the rain was about 2 hours ago !!

Now, now - since when did speedway ever use common sense and logic like that ???

How sad that someone can post a fictional postponment of a meeting AND put a LOL beside it - but then school is out !!

Seems to be the norm for UK speedway at the mo Hope the weather holds and those who turn up have a good meeting

I really enjoy it (though sadly wont be there this year ) but its the experience of lots of people in the street supporting speedway which for one day makes you forget its not such a minority sport, the winding the Poles up when their heroes fail, the atmosphere, the air horns, the panto villian that is Pederson. Its meeting people from other speedway teams and members of the forum - though usually Midnight Lady has done all the intros at Monarchs away meetings - its the build up to the start, the feeling that Im attending a big time event - yep even bigger than home meetings at Brandon....

QUOTE (Rob B @ Jun 13 2009, 09:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> but how many passes did we have very few. About 4 ? - I missed heat 1 and excluding any T1/T2 passes, it was til about H13 before I saw a pass. Great riding no doubt but not great racing

You couldnt make it up - absolutely ridiculous. Are they seriously trying to say that in a country the size of Germany they cant get local shale and it has to be imported ??

No editing apart from the application of bold - so is reasoning actually required ??

Oh god - this may be a cue for Paulco & Saint Rob to start another perv corner

yeah we know - the diesel passat was the giveaway....
