Another four coming down from the North on the 18th.

Well done Simon Lambert.

Just out of interest looked at Cardiff hotel prices for 2023, Hilton hotel was one of the cheapest at £560.00 for two nights, no breakfast, some were wanting £1500 for an apartment.

Wrestling........would rather watch four hours of SGP2.....well maybe not.

Yes that's true.

If it’s a bad batch how many other duff tyres are out there ?

Some good racing but very dusty , the worst at Belle vue I have experienced.

Coming down again this morning for this meet, should be the usual Belle vue fantastic track racing.

Good performances from all the British lads, well done to Dan and Robert for getting on the podium. Tom Brennan probably the next in line to make it.

Well done Adam Roynon.

If crowd level dropped below 10000 it might go to Manchester , Cardiff has the central location to bars, rester-aunts, hotels etc.

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!

How did they do that?

Tero still in hospital last I heard.

Paid £65.00 for middle tier ticket. (That is with reduction, should have been about £80?)

And the big Red bus

On board camera is a definite bad move.

Why did Masters ride in heat 15?

OK, here are my views on the meeting. Arrived just after six and the place was packed with fans, the entry to the stadium was done with the usual Glasgow efficiency, tickets checked, programme bought, 50/50 bought, and drink purchased on entry all within a few minutes. The parade was started at around 7pm , in hindsight maybe the parade should have started at 6:50pm. The racing was fantastic and for what it's worth I thought the track was fine. The crashes which took place were on the face of it did not look serious but did cause some nasty injuries to the riders and although it was a long drawn-out meeting for the fans the rider's safety must be paramount and the utmost care must be taken to tend to the riders injuries. When the sun went down it did get cold and did not help when standing around for over four hours. We had to leave before the end to get transport back into the city and so missed the last three or four heats... A great gesture by the winner of the 50/50 draw (£525) to donate it to the children's cancer hospital which was matched by the promoters.

In the Speedway Star today, it said the shale used was what had been used in 2019 and had been stored since, "lessons need to be learned" and an inquiry is being made into the state of the track.

RIP Eric.

True it is a good weekend away, I think I have been about 7 or 8 times in 20 years, but "we" should expect the track to improve over the years not go back in time , give the riders a good surface to ride on and mor e often than not it will provide good racing.

Could be wrong but i thought i saw he was riding on the continent a few days ago.

Probably 8000 if they spend enough money in the city bars,restaraunts etc.

Average about 5’ 7 sorry no official figure out yet as far as I know
