Anyone that has a spare ticket or two should hang round the box office shop near the Prince of Wales as there is always ginto b people looking to buy tickets and you should expect no more than 75% of the face value Won't be selling my ticket for love or money

#woffywoffywoffy ...... numerous tweets to be sent up to Cardiff .... but please remember to TEXT his charity bike ride for Cancer Research starting tomorrow. Can't think of many sportsmen that have done this sort of charity event DURING the season and before a major event in their calendar. Tai deserves the backing and CANCER RESEARCH is something that effects everyone at one time or another. Donations can be made through Woffinden's Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/taiwoffinden01008 You can also donate by text by texting WOFF50 (amount) to 70070.

I take it there will be a number of stalls set up in the pub/ugby club near to the stadium yet again selling old memrobillia. This year I will be bringing with me my 1928 Autograph book featuring Billy Lamont, Sprouts Elder, Vic Huxley and many many more. Should anyone be interested in buying this piece of Speedway history, please inbox me before Friday night otherwise I will be looking at selling it on the day for the right price. Really looking forward to Cardiff 2013 and support Tai Woffinden after his CANCER RESEARCH Charity Bike ride from Wolverhampton.

After a 15 point maximum in Poland (beating Emil three times), when you look at the form he is in at present is simply brilliant These are the results from his last 6 meetings .... 31 wins 2 paid wins from 39 starts !! 3 3 3 3 3 - 3 3 2 2*3 - 3 3 3 3 1 3 3 - 2 3 3 3 3 - 3 3 3 3 3 3 - 2 3 1*3 3 3 - 3 3 1 2*3 = 39 rides ~ 106+3 = 11.18 Riders that have been him .... Doyle x2, Pz Pawlicki, Emil, Hancock, Iversen, and Okoniewski Really looking forward to Cardiff this year

MY SELECTIONS Woffinden Holder Hancock Lindgren Kasprzak FINAL; Sayfutdinov, Woffinden, Holder, Lindgren

IT'S CARDIFF !!!! As it's the one round that is really special to everyone, I have made this round different too with group predictions. Listed below are the riders taking part in the Cardiff GP 2013, but they are split into groups. From each group you have to predict which rider will score the most points. If two or more riders tie, the winner will be decided on the head to head during the 20 heats. ... Should all three score the sme and beat each other, the rider that goes the furthest .... ie, 3rd in semi / 4th semi will count as the winner. .... if still tied, both count as winners. Then we have the FINAL prediction. Each rider has been given a value as in betting. You have to predict which FOUR riders will make the final. The value allocated to them is what you will score if they reach the final. If one of your four riders wins the GP, those points will be tripled. GROUP 1 = Emil Sayfutdinov (25), Tai Woffinden (25), Nicki Pedersen (25) GROUP 2 = Chris Holder (25), Tomasz Gollob (25), Jarek Hampel (25) GROUP 3 = Greg Hancock (25), Matej Zagar (25), Niels K Iversen (25) GROUP 4 = Antonio Lindback (30), Andreas Jonsson (30), Fredrik Lindgren (30) GROUP 5 = Krzysztof Kasprzak (25), Martin Vaculik (50), Chris Harris (50), Ales Dryml (100) EXAMPLE; You pick Nicki, Holder, Zagar, Lindback and Bomber and they win each group, you score 155 points THE FINAL 4 Emil Sayfutdinov 6 Nicki Pedersen 7 Tai Woffinden 8 Chris Holder 8 Jarek Hampel 9 Tomasz Gollob 12 Greg Hancock 16 Matej Zagar 16 Niels K Iversen 20 Krzysztof Kasprzak 25 Fredrik Lindgren 25 Antonio Lindback 25 Andreas Jonsson 40 Martin Vaculik 50 Chris Harris 100 Ales Dryml EXAMPLE; You pick Nicki, Woffy, Zagar and Gollob as the four finalists and all four qualify .... you get 38 points ...... If NICKI wins the GP, his score of 6 wiil be trebled to 18 points ...... making it 50 in total. You could believe in miracles and select Bomber to reach the final .... if he does you get 50 points .... If he wins it ..... that becomes 150 !! If you believe in miracles, Father Christmas and the Pixies at the end of the garden, you could select Ales Dryml !!! Good Luck ...... get posting before the TV scheduled start time which is earlier than others ... There are no losers in this round and no one will get minus points ..... You still get 25 points for posting in time too !! See you in Cardiff

It's actually pretty good tattoo of a woman with wings that lift up either side of his neck and can only be clarly seen if he raises his head up to the sky as her face is under his chin. ... So the tattoo is fine ...... but wouldn't have had it above the collar personally. Have to say also that Tai deserves credit for sticking to his game plan of riding in Poland, Britain and the GP's only as a number of Swedish teams have been trying to tempt him to ride on a Tuesday too.

I knew he was't going t be misplacd in the Series asnd expecte him to have some big scores in a few rounds but never expected him to be matching Emil Sayfutdnov on full power. This is without doubt the strongest 15 riders ever in a GP and each one could reach at least one final and I was expecting him to be fighting to get in the top 8 so even I am suprsed how well h is doing so far but I will add that even from day one o the season, I have noticed a difference in Tai. He is more focused, oraqnised and calm and with a good team around him and the right engines he is now ridining everywhere like he does at Monmore. ....Really cheesed off I'm missing Cardiff this year

Many thought Tai shouldn't be in the GP's just because he is British Many thought that Tai would do well to finish in the top 14 !! Many thought Wolverhampton were wooden spoon contenders !! I'm loving 2013 and it's still only May :party:

REMEMBER; All posts or edits must be done before the 6pm start time or they will not count. At the start of the season, most predicted Tai Woffinden would struggle in the GP's but now most are picking him to score over 9 points in Pardabuice. .... Seems quite a few have faith in Josef Franc too. ALSO; Remember that Tai is cyclng from Wolverhampton to Cardiff to raise £20,000 for Cancer Research .... every £ donation helps http://www.taiwoffinden.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1367142139&archive=&start_from=&ucat=4&

Sadly don't get to the Dudley meetings as Tuesday is a bad night for me but hopefully Dudley will be at their own track in 2014 and possibly in the Premier League too where there will be weekly action.

Three rounds, three totally different tracks, three great performances. Jarek and Emil may be the two who look to be the ones you would back to win the world title but it's nice to see Tai up there challenging them

Before the season started, many predicted that Tai Woffinden would struggle in the GP's but as we enter the third round, Tai sits joint third and looks a bargain on 7 points as he is possibly the top rider around at the moment on current form. Remember any posts that are posted or edited after 6pm (even by 1 minute) are not counted.

Glad you like it ..... Maybe it is low ...... but any of the 15 could be in the final and this more of a gaters track than the last round. If I could get the predictions right for every round it would be Freddie, Emil, Tai and Darcy in the finals with Gollob, Hancock, Holder and Hampel just missing out. ........ PLUS Nicki finishing with a score card something like F O F F X MY PREDICTION IS 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 8 Jarek Hampel 7 Fredrik Lindgren 7 Tai Woffinden

That could be said of a number of riders on Saturday night. DARCY WARD visited the Bouncy Castle at speed and did well not to hit the fence a few other times .... FREDDIE LINDGREN did well to stay on and not wipe out the others when he hit the kerb on turn 1 ..... plus there were plenty of close clashes through the night. It has been pointed out that he doesn't have a great deal of sponsors on his race suit and like any rider, he would be welcome of further help however big or small ..... but lets also remember he is cycling to Cardiff to the days leading up to the GP in a bid to raise £20,000 for Cancer Research and deserves to at least hit that figure. If anyone wants to help out with either, they can contact Tai through his website or inbox me and I will pass it on to those who help Tai SEMI FINAL 2

Think most comments so far are concerning the commentary side of the show, not the filming and that seem to be much better without regular trips back to the studio and now keep watching what is being filmed with commentary over. The one liners as riders introduce them selves before each race are the only things I would stop and must admit came up with a few myself or added to theirs. ...... Kasprzak yet to score .... (and won't here too)

Pretty pleased with the Eurosport coverage apart from a few small things. When Pearson / Tatum are not commentating, the voice that comes on clearly doesnt know speedway and makes numerous mistakes. Would rather have someone involved in the sport sitting in a studio somewhere. Sam Ermolenko, Steve Johnston, David Norris, Chris Louis or a current rider. The only other thing is when the race is about to start, the riders faces appear above the gate they are in and say their name. .... Why do Nigel and Kelvin have to do those one liners ...... "Chris Holder" = Needs to find something ..... "Tomasz Gollob" = He's found something ..... "Krzysztof Kasprzak" = Yet to get on the score board ..... "Darcy Ward" = Has a hand injury ..... Aaaaarrrggggggghhhhhhh !!!! Otherwise pretty good
