  2. STADIUM TO HOST WALES' SEMI-FINAL SCREENING This is a momentous time for Welsh sport and the people of Wales who have united 'Together Stronger' in celebration of Wales' historic success in a major football tournament The Welsh Rugby Union has joined forces with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) and Cardiff Council to give fans the opportunity to watch the biggest match in the history of Welsh football for free on the big screens at the home of Welsh sport. As part of the #TogetherStronger campaign sweeping the nation, organisers have arranged for the installation of a 100ft screen alongside the existing two big screens at the iconic venue. Fans not travelling to the Stade des Lumières in Lyon are invited to gather at Principality Stadium to cheer on Wales for the Semi-Final - the furthest stage the team has reached in an international tournament. Tickets will be available free of charge via www.principalitystadium.wales/togetherstronger from 10am tomorrow (Tuesday) on a first-come-first-serve basis (maximum 4 per person) for the reserved seating areas, with a 20,000 capacity. Supporters may opt to make a donation which, added to any profit from the event, will be shared equally between WRU grassroots initiatives, FAW Trust and the Lord Mayor's charity, Cancer Research Wales. Gates will open at 6.30pm for the 8pm kick off, giving ticketholders early access to the official city-centre celebration for all the build-up before an unrestricted view of the match on the giant screens. Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase the official Euro 2016 tournament programme, the very-same on sale at the match. The screening takes place just three days before the Speedway Grand Prix, with football fans also getting unique view of the spectacle that is the world-class racing track set up to host the world's best riders on Saturday 9 July. The motorsports track showcases the impressive transformation at the multi-event venue which has this year hosted Chris Coleman's team for back-to-back training session ahead of their Euro 2016 campaign and Welsh rugby's home matches in the RBS 6 Nations. Martyn Phillips, Chief Executive of the Welsh Rugby Union which owns and operates Principality Stadium, said: "This is a momentous time for Welsh sport and the people of Wales who have united 'Together Stronger' in celebration of Wales' historic success in a major football tournament. "On a personal level as a Welsh-man and on behalf of the WRU I've enjoyed every minute of the Euros and the positive images of Welsh sport beamed across the world to put Wales on the map as a competitive sporting nation. "As Welsh football supporters all over the world prepare for the greatest international match in the history of the sport on Wednesday, the WRU is proud to be throwing open the doors to host Cardiff's official fanzone in association with the FAW and Cardiff Council. I also thank the organisers of Speedway for their cooperation under hire agreement which has allowed us to invite the public to the screening of Wales' Semi-Final." FAW Chief Executive Jonathan Ford: "The scenes and support we have seen at home during the course of the tournament has been nothing short of memorable, and we hope that our passionate supporters can enjoy another historic night watching Wales." Cllr Peter Bradbury, City of Cardiff Council's Cabinet member for Community Development, Co-operatives and Social Enterprise, said: "The Cardiff Fanzone in Cooper's Field has been a tremendous success. Close to 25,000 people have come through the gates to cheer on Wales and following Friday's incredible performance against Belgium we knew that many more would be desperate to come and experience the atmosphere for the semi-final. "We didn't want anyone to feel left out, so it was important we found a way to increase capacity. Working with the FAW and the WRU to move the Fanzone to Principality will give thousands more a chance to see our boys make history. I really must, however, give a huge thank you to our other partners, Sayer's Amusements, BBC Wales and Vauxhall. The Fanzone in the park - which will live long in the memories of anyone who attended - wouldn't have been possible without their help and commitment." Supporters are reminded that enhanced security checks will be in place and to leave large bags at home, where possible, to avoid further hold-up on arrival at the venue. Football fan zone is seating only, no standing.
  3. USA team confirmedHancock, Wells, Fisher & Janniro. Becker is reserve. I doubt Kylmakorpi will be fit either (if he was under consideration).
  4. FOURS FEVER Friday June 24, 2016 PETERBOROUGH promoter Ged Rathbone cannot wait for the biggest and best Premier League Fours event of all-time. The excitement is already building for the two-day extravaganza at the East of England Showground over the weekend of July 23-24. The 72-race spectacular features two semi-finals and the grand final while also featuring an individual meeting which will involve the top two riders from the teams who dont make the Fours showpiece. There is also a packed line-up of off-track activities including a supporters football tournament, a stunt show, a chance to grill past riders and live music from one-time Pop Idol star Jamie Tinkler. A lot of hard work has already gone into making sure the new-look Premier League Fours becomes one of the jewels in the British Speedway crown, said Rathbone. It promises to be one of the highlights of the calendar with two days of terrific racing at one of the finest tracks in the country. We cant wait to welcome fans from across the UK to the East of England Showground and were determined to put on a great show for them.

Theyll be back open at 9am on the morning of Saturday, July 23 for a packed day of activities ahead of the Premier League Fours semi-finals which get underway at 4pm. Live entertainment follows in the evening with tickets available for purchase on the day before the weekend comes to a thrilling climax on Sunday, July 24. Riders will take to the track at noon for the new individual meeting before the Premier League Fours final itself begins at 4pm.

  5. Same old, same old. The only thing bigger is the walk. Only went in previous years as it was in centre, will give it a miss this year, far too much effort now.
  6. Handy to call upon if needed though. The other argument is if you put Lambert in the main team, what happens if someone gets injured. Bates?
  7. BSPA have managed to cock up what was a good idea on paper. Why seed Panthers to the final? Most panthers fans will now just turn up Sunday, as they have no interest in Saturday. If they were there Saturday most would have bought a weekend ticket hoping to see Panthers on both days. Saturday will clash with event 1 of the speedway world cup. In addition to some fans choosing to watch world cup instead, will there be PL riders picked for their national team who therefore can't make the fours? Individual final on the Sunday is before the fours final - so what happens if your top rider is injured in the individual?
  8. So will the reserves, which assume is Lambert & Cook
  9. I don't think it was his clutch at all. I think he knew he had engine troubles and wouldn't last the race and drove into the tapes on purpose to give himself an opportunity in the rerun, albeit 15 meters back - and it very nearly paid off! Smart thinking from the lad Loved??
  10. Why were they only made available after the south terrace had sold out? I would have liked the option to stand in the West terrace.
  11. I think you are right. I had an email from BT sport saying 5pm though?
  12. East Grandstand is seating on bends 3/4. West terrace is standing on first bend. Both are uncovered.
  13. Speedway starts 5pm UK time, football starts 8pm - perfect planning from my point of view
  14. Baker's relationship with Panthers ended on a sour note & I doubt you'll see him back whilst the current management are in charge.
  15. All I know is that he was ruled out for 28 days. Would that mean concussion?
  16. Peterborough 'T.Balfe Construction' Panthers: 1. Craig Cook 10.35 2. R/R for Tom Perry 5.58 3. Ulrich Ostergaard © 8.13 4. Emil Grondal 5.35 5. Kenneth Hansen (g) 7.42 6. Simon Lambert 4.63 7. Tom Stokes 3.00 Hawkins thinks rider replacement for Perry makes us weaker 😂
  17. It looks like Hansen for NBJ & rider replacement for Perry?
