Do we know what the key requirements were that the London Stadium couldn't meet for Supercross that led to them pulling the plug? Noise restrictions?

Tough to see how you can make it work without being prepared to lose a pile of cash

He's not the first to come unstuck with the D shape down the back straight. People keep complaining about the dirt build up but that's not what caused the crash. I've seen more injuries at Scunny than at Owlerton. Personally, watching them scrape the fence looks terrifying but that's why I'd never get on a bike!

"It wasn't about the track at Sheffield, it was about the fence. I hit it with the footrest going into the third bend. The fence was not straight and that's what caused the incident. I like the track when I can ride the berm." A certain Mr E Sayfutdinov in today's Star.

Ha! Possibly. Although they were all available when I got mine at 10

Well... you're not going to be on your own!

The booking fees are always irritating. £15 a day for the car parking is a bit of a p1ss take! Booked thru an app across the road for a fiver. That'll teach 'em 😂

Maybe a bit of empathy wouldn't go amiss. I'll have a moan but we'll be there as one day my daughter might decide she's too 'cool' to come (possibly sat in your season ticket seats😂). However, I'm also aware we're in a fortunate position where we can afford to do it. There are plenty of people who have been supporters for a long time who have been completely priced out. You can surely understand that they are angry?

No idea why that posted three times 🙄

Absolutely agree. I was in no way defending the prices. I thinks it's a joke.

Based on the justification they gave for the SON prices last year it was £400k to put the event on at Belle Vue. I'm sure there's some savings reducing to 2 nights but it's still not going to be cheap. Sadly, my price predictions were pretty much spot on when they announced this but I still think they'll sell out. Unfortunately, they're going to annoy a lot of supporters in the process. You were shifting in the region of 30,000 tickets for Cardiff so the thinking will now be that at least a quarter of them would pay "premium" prices. 16000(ish) over 2 nights at an average of £90 a ticket is just over £1.4m. I wonder who is underwriting this if they have got it wrong?

Yep

But surely if you are picking a venue for the one British Grand Prix it's a consideration? Effectively shutting out 20k people who want to go?

I think 30% is generous from where we were sat. They would have all been under cover if someone had taken a fishing umbrella!
