robert72 845 Posted April 26, 2011 After last year it cannot be any worse, Not seen anything advertised so it doesnt look promising because if they had a big star they would be promoting them to sale tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the "entertainment" is the meeting? Stay in the pub ntil 5 mins before the first heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 21,035 Posted April 26, 2011 One of the downsides of holding it in Cardiff.If you had the meeting at Wembley all the top stars would be after the gig.In Cardiff all you are going to get is someone who is looking to put the "as seen on tv" bit on their posters outside the working mens clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pre-match entertainment is in the Pub; I've got no desire to be wandering the wilds of West London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert72 845 Posted April 28, 2011 the pubs are ok for the drinkers, not great for families with young kids or those who dont drink, yes the main entertaiment is the racing but sadly you can watch the racing on sky, cardiff needs that something else to get people off there sofas and buy a ticket. I hav'nt bought tickets yet as i am undecided about going or watching it on sky, entertainment could swing it, i enjoyed tony hadley,bonnie tyler,stunt bikes but also the mini speedway riders. Last year was shocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert Harkins 27 Posted May 5, 2011 the entertainment has been dreadful for many years. dont think it could get much worse but i have a feeling i will be proved wrong Why is everyone so pessimistic about the pre-match entertainment at Cardiff? IMG/BSI try hard to give us more than a Grand Prix to watch and, as robert72 says, not everyone wants to hang around a pub before the meeting, especially if they have got kids. What about the "Fanzone" where the street was closed in the afternoon? That was something new for a GP weekend and everyone seemed to be enjoying the carnival atmosphere, and, as regards Wembley, if we ever went back there, we would be stuck in the middle of a trading estate during the day whereas there is plenty to keep everyone occupied in Cardiff before the "Main Event",.....the British Grand Prix.

T.N.T. 355 Posted May 5, 2011 Think I may be changing the usual format this year and working in the morning, so will get to Cardiff around 2pm Never really bothered about the entertainment, think the MX Red Bull Free stylers would be best option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that BSI Speedway are not allowed to advertise some acts due to contractual reasons. Also, robert72, I spoke to many people who enjoyed the Royal Navy displays at Cardiff last year, but it just proves the old saying,..."You cannot please all of the people all of the time".
