The Cardiff ticket prices are a complete rip at the best of times, but to charge £45 for a 5YR old is criminal. Maybe this greed over ticket prices explains why GP attendances are well down at some venues this year.

Scotty did a good job last night, and Sophie was a joy to watch in the Cardiff pits doing her interviews, making Charlie look like a bumbling idiot in comparison. Probably the best presented Cardiff GP by a mile, well done Eurosport.

A 'Barry Hearn' type could do nothing to halt the decline, speedway is struggling to keep existing fans, it has no chance of attracting new ones. Lets face it, speedway can be a very boring with too many follow the leader races, poor stadia, 2hours plus to run 15 heats. Kids find this dull, and who can blame them in this digital age. The sport needs paying customers to survive, so it appears the writing is on the wall.

When the Sky money is lost, I suspect the Premier lge will be the place to be. You may find some of the Elite clubs wanting to drop down or even have one big British league..

Its just as likely to be the cost, a family of four is a minimum 40 quid. Under 13's should not have to pay, this might encourage more parents to attend and snag some young fans of the future.

The latest GP was a rare bad one, on the whole its a great watch. The biggest problem on Saturday apart from the lack of passing was complete lack of sound from the bikes and the crowd. It sounded like two men shouting and screaming in a box with someone mowing the grass outside.

Highlights on Eurosport 2 today at 21.30, not that there were many highlights. It was one of the worst GP's, mostly follow the leader stuff, culminating with a huge anti-climatic final. Unfortunately the World Cup final is at the same venue.

Dress it up how you will, the fact remains that 'jokers and tactical rides' are absolutely ridiculous...

Its working now, 11 heats gone. Adam 10+1 from four so far...

That is correct, home track advantage is a big factor.

Mr Tungate is obviously more motivated by Middlo and Matt Frauds cheque book...

That was optional, but it was indeed Glasgow..

Forecast is looking good, and a home win should be a formality with the Witches superior reserve strength ensuring maximum points.

Another poor away performance from the skipper, probably cost us the win. Maybe a recall for Dakota North ???

Lets hope Ipswich can win this gating competition today..

Sooty and Sweep could knock spots off Rossiter.

He's obviously made both of you paranoid.

I doubt it, he has moved on from the Premier lge now, unlike some.

Dakota is flying back from Poland today after scoring a paid maximum yesterday.

No Nemo and its R/R. That's killed the meeting for me, very disappointing.

They last two have been good to watch, it does certainly help to have 16 top riders in the field on nice fast circuits. Eite lge matches are generally very dull in comparison, mainly because the teams have been watered down over the years, and some of the tracks provide poor racing. Loving the Eurosport coverage, excellent presentation.

Can you believe these elite lge promoters making early team changes, and not taking Micky Dyer on a 3pt average. Shows them up for the clowns they are.

Howe has apologised to Dyer on F/book, that tells you everything you need to know..

Your probably right, having only been to 40 odd tracks in six different countries i'm obviously not qualified to comment.

Best to face facts and stop fighting the truth don't you think.
