Have a look at this.

After Darcy's interview it was pretty obvious what Troy had to do, though I'm not sure he meant to nearly end up on the centre green Terrible from Boyce, don't know what he was waiting for, he had some good opportunities to use it a lot earlier.

I haven't looked to quote it but I'm sure I've read on here today that there were over 43000 there Fully agree with what SCB said about the event in any case.

Forgot to mention this, I thought the band were excellent. Enjoyed them far more than I enjoyed Stacey Solomon.

Very enjoyable day in Cardiff yesterday as usual. Had a few quid on Fred and KB both 33/1, so bit disappointed with that, especially when the latter broke the tapes in a very winnable semi-final, but pleased with the winner. Hopefully Greg can take the title this year, but as already mentioned with GPs in Poland yet to come, there's time for it all to change again. Could get interesting but I do hope Greg is crowned champion at the end of it all. Some excellent racing I thought. Nicki was hard in the final but this is the GP! Was pleased Tai got his chance and he did well there, his time at GP level will come I'm sure. Scotty and Bomber less impressive. And finally, well done Magnus Zetterstrom. That was the Zorro I love to see, when he's enjoying himself and you can't go wrong with a few donuts and his dancing. A real fans' rider. Thanks for the entertainment

Is this the same Lewis Bridger who was moaning in the Speedway Star a couple of months ago about how he hasn't got any English friends in speedway and gets on with the Aussies much better? He really should just get his head down and do his talking on the track.

We've had good experiences with the park and ride, always found it easy to get to with the signs and been able to park quite easily, we usually arrive at around 1pm ish. Suppose there will be cheaper options within walking distance of the stadium rather than relying on a bus but it's been very handy for us in the last 3 years.

Congratulations Stoke, and well done Rambo

Absolutely agree, every club should be represented. Someone's already posted a format that could work, so it's surely not impossible to include everyone. And at least fans will know if their team is involved in advance if nothing else.. 2 weeks before and we finally have an idea of who will be there, can't be helped if that's how the qualification process works but still.. at least most people will have accomodation sorted by now for the GP but it's still not ideal IMO..

Would absolutely love Tai or Ben Barker to win this, but I've got a feeling it could be Nicholls' night Good luck Ricky Ashworth too, hope he can put on a good show

So happy to see Greg get the win here, fully deserved. Congratulations to him and hope he keeps it going. I do like Kelvin Tatum, but I think Stekkers has been a nice change tonight. Some good commentary from him and I hope he is in the Sky team in future GPs. Knowledgable guy. Pretty dire stuff otherwise though.

Worthy winner tonight in Nicki, looks back to his best, very aggressive and up for it this year, great stuff from him. Love him or hate him, on form he spices things up no end. Not bad racing in the end although the track wasn't ideal but some good action in parts, Lindgren in heat 19 was brilliant, super ride from him. Greg also showed great form and it's good to see him get off to a good start, and Holder was unlucky to miss out on 9. Bomber left himself too much to do after his 1st 2 rides I think but a steady start getting points on the board and hopefully there is more to come. Think the series could definitely get interesting this year!

Do you know how old he is? He looks very impressive, even more so if he has only just started riding the Sheffield track

Must admit I really didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped either

Think I read he was going to be a reserve instead.

Looking forward to this one, looks a good line-up to me

Great news, Cooperman is a superb team man and will be good for the younger riders to have around. Of course if he can come back from his injuries ok he should get plenty of points in too. Would have hated to see him without a team place. Also good for the Sheffield fans who will be taking in these meetings, of course Ashley will be in the team but Coops is such a favourite at Sheffield, they will both add a lot of interest.

Like the sound of that

Surely, when Pepe pulled out of 1 GP (unless through injury) he pulled out of them all. Davey's probably had a GP where he's not quite fancied the track but has still turned up when required and given it 100% and has actually done pretty well, yet Pepe's seen the last GP, one of the biggest on a track he probably knows and likes, and suddenly wants in again. Shocking IMO.

Firstly, congratulations to Kenni who was a very worthy and deserved winner. I was also pleased for David Howe, I really like the guy and he rode very well today and deserved his rostrum place. I felt for Rene Bach after his crash who on the whole was probably the best rider on the day if not joint best with Kenni, hopefully he will be able to have another go next year and stays in the PL.. perhaps he needs a big track next year though, like Sheffield Josh Auty gave it a good go and had a few good races but in some class company didn't quite do enough in the semi final.. his time will come though and I think he worked hard tonight. There were 1 or 2 disappointments. Lyons and Sundstrom were 2 riders I felt could have done something, Frampton was another - I really like Jordan but he wasn't himself tonight. Whether it was injury or something else, I hope he sorts it out soon, he's far better than that performance.

I'm really glad we all understood your first post By the way, is it right gates open at 4pm? I read this in the Speedway Star, it seems quite late. We'll be there early anyway but it would be appreciated if someone could confirm this or knows any different.

If the wildcard rules are that it has to be the next #2 then totally the right call to give Frampton the nod. Obviously it is a massive disappointment Screen isn't fit, as I'm sure anyone who saw him at Owlerton earlier in the year will agree, but Jordan's a good rider and has shown good form here in the past so he will be there or there abouts I think.

Lemo should get in I think. To me, Screen's replacement should be the next in the Glasgow averages, so that's Travis.. Lemo is next in line for a wildcard so in effect would replace Trav. I'm a big fan of Frampton and would love to see him in but Lemo simply has the higher average. As for Ashworth, no way. For Ricky to to defend his title he should have performed all year to either get Sheffield's place or one of the wildcards for the next 2 in the averages. I'm a Sheffield fan, and believe it's a ridiculous suggestion.

Yes, last night like yourself and also the last time speedway was on red button, with absolutely no problems in between so must be to do with the red button. Very annoying.
