just what you need with this weather.

 

It'll be around 40,000 but spread out to look more. Keith Huewen will tell us numerous times that the event gets bigger every year

The attendance will be down and I think I can hear Wembley calling

[Tipsy_McStagger 3]

I very much doubt The FA would let anyone touch there precious pitch let a loan stick a speedway track on top of it. Anyway give me Cardiff over Wembley any time. Don’t believe the hype about Wembley it’s a nice stadium with adequate facilitates inside but its no where near the best in the world. In fact I’ve been in better stadiums that where built 5 years ago. By the way I was supporting the winning team and still wasn’t overly impressed; god only knows what kind of a desolate place it must be if you lose, as it might as well be on the moon as there is nothing around the place for miles. The great thing about Cardiff you know it’s on because they a have roof that closes fully (unlike Wembley) and with in walking distances are all the bars cafes and restaurants. Having said that I’m missing this year due to just moving house.

And football players whatever next?

[Tipsy_McStagger 3]

Well I stand corrected, I’m surprised though what happens if the pitch gets damaged and a footballer stabs his toe on a divot or trips and sprains his ankle, I mean the consequences are to horrific to contemplate.

nigel pearsons views on the cardiff gp.

 

i personally am not goin gdue to being 16 and not being able to get there, but will be an armchair viewer like many others i can't see how there going to get 50,000 but we shall see.

[f-s-p 832]

I've been to Cardiff twice, and it look's the same. Around 40k

[HeathenBaggie 0]

Looked slighty up on any previous one I'd say - the back staraight third level was fuller than it's ever been and that holds a lot of people.

 

46-7k ?

[Jive 47]

There seemed more spaces lower down on the first tier, too expensive? Upper tiers deffo fuller but i'd say it was probably the biggest crowd so far!

[Star Lady 5,400]

The lower tier seemed to have more spaces than before and the upper tier was fuller. I'd guess it was about the same as last year.

 

EDIT Hey Jive will you stop reading my mind
