topaz325 1,859 Posted August 26, 2022 So was the official attendance 22000 , way down on previous years and will likely be a lot less next year with the rise in....well more or less everything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't be surprised if the British GP is switched to Manchester if advance ticket sales are poor for Cardiff. At 22000 this year someone must be losing a lot of money, can't see that being repeated next year. Edited August 27, 2022 by iwright71 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If crowd level dropped below 10000 it might go to Manchester , Cardiff has the central location to bars, rester-aunts, hotels etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
