THE DEAN MACHINE 4,755 Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Cardiff stages the supercross in October, it will be interesting to see if their crowds hold up to other events , also heard a rumour that they told the speedway GP organisers to leave the track in as they were impressed by the air jack holder got off one of the bumps Edited August 25, 2022 by THE DEAN MACHINE 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out, if you can, the superb wrap around photo on the current issue of Classic Speedway, showing a crowd around 25,000 for GB v Russia. No need to panic about Cardiff attendances just yet. No need to panic yet If what I have been told is true the question supporters should be asking is how many of the 22,000 supporters at this years Cardiff GP actually paid for their ticket. £62 for middle tier this year and quotes of £70 for 2023 have left me thinking enough is enough.

Paid £65.00 for middle tier ticket. (That is with reduction, should have been about £80?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not looking for an argument... but why would you pay £62/£70 for a middle tier ticket when you can get a top tier ticket for £22.50? I've sat in both sections and I'd say because of the steeper angle of the top tier you get a better uninterrupted view imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the point though isn’t it, in your opinion, as in previous conversations our opinions are different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
