The main issue with young Vinnie is his gating, if someone could tell him you are allowed to start before the other riders get to the first bend that would be a huge plus for him and he wouldn't have to ride like a madman to catch up.
I see a lot of negativity about the attendance for Cardiff but I think the crowd will be much better this year due to last year being a really good meeting, attendances were well down last year due to to the previous year being dire. Fan zone wasn't great last year either and hope it is better this year.
Noise never been a problem at Poole as far as I know and its in a residential area. On the other hand Ipswich used to have complaints I believe and its nowhere near housing, may be different now as havent been there recently.
