I have a room for sale near Newport (just off the motorway). It is a double room with twin beds and is booked for two nights (friday & saturday) - so is ideal for anyone who wishes to go to the Pairs at Somerset the night before and then can enjoy a relaxing night after the GP before travelling back home. Currently the room rate for the two nights are - £155 (checked tonight 11/6/19) and is sure to go up nearer the event. I am prepared to sale for £120 - message me if you are interested or have any further questions. Thanks. PS, Apologies as I have previously posted this on the Speedway & International Events messageboard on here but thought more casual supporters are likely to look on this board instead.

lol, very good!

Can anyone advise me when the tickets are sent out for the Cardiff GP?

Update: I have just checked and there are now only two rooms available for those date. Also, I should have stated that the room I am selling has two single beds.

Was the period of no Speedway on the TV and the pig-headiness of some of the promotors during that period the cause of today's problems? Not only during this time did Speedway fall from the public's conscience but now when you go to many meetings and look around it is now a largely elderly audience who most probably remember the halcyon days of the sport. Sadly lacking are the age group between 25-35 year olds who would have been the age most affected by Speedways lack of coverage both on TV and mainstream media press (pre-internet). Sadly though and perhaps more of the problem it is that age group who are now have offspring of the age that Speedway so desperately needs to attract.

Reading .v. Exeter, oh the memories of the Bank Holiday double-headers! Full credit to the people who are keeping the names of these two proud Speedway clubs alive but just so sad that both teams have come to this.

Hi, it is at the Days Inn, Magor. Here is a link to the website: https://www.daysinnrc.co.uk/locations/days-inn-newport-magor/

What do Somerset and Plymouth do?

Thanks for the reply. I am disabled and a Speedway fan - the guy who would take me is more of a 'take it or leave it fan'.

Thanks for the replies. The tracks that we are thinking of visiting are: Plymouth, Swindon, Somerset, Poole & Birmingham. For what it’s worth I think Triple.H is correct. Football has a criteria that has to be met before an Enabler/Carer is allowed entry - that is fine, but can you try explaining this to someone who operates a turnstile at Speedway?

Do any tracks offer disabled people who need an Enabler/Carer free admission for the person accompanying them providing they have proof of the higher rate care component. I know many sports do and wondered what Speedway tracks do. Feel free to add track names in this thread.

At long last could there be some light at the end of the tunnel and well done to the campaigning to all those involved. Speedway needs teams of the stature of Coventy, Exeter, Cradley etc. Regarding the state of Brandon, perhaps it may be best to start from the ground up. Remembering the size of the land Brandon is on would it not be possible to do some tie up with a commercial partner who would build a Grandstand that had facilities incorporated that could be used throughout the week, i.e, Conference/Wedding venue, Gym, etc. It may result in Brandon looking different from the facility that closed but going forward Coventry fans would have a stadium more suited to this century than the last one. Most importantly Bees fans would have a team on there own track to support.

Anyone who is interested in this meeting. You can listen online to the live commentary - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/motorsport/48037399

Hi, I have already booked my Cardiff hotel for 2019 but whilst searching stumbled upon this on Roomer that I thought I would share - It is for the Days Inn at Magnor near Newport, I have stayed there in 2018 and it is easily accessed by car from the M4 and only a short trip from Cardiff. Click for details.

Any news of the Falcons in 2019?

Hi, when is the next issue due?

Thanks for the reply. Basically I am building a app that would provide directions to the different tracks in the UK. I was hoping to include a image or part image of the racejacket as an image/icon.

I am thinking of creating some designs that incorporate teams body-colours. Are these subject to copyright?

Wasn't it four Czech riders in for Exeter? Ales Drymyl, Zedenek Kudrana, Jan & Vaclav Verner. I remember going to the 'Western Winner' grass track event back in the seventies where I think Vaclav was competing and hearing about how his car ran on gas - as I was around nine or ten I spent all afternoon sh*****g myself that the thing would explode!!

Does anyone know the result of today’s British Masters?

Slightly off-topic Speedway wise but there is a link when you read the story and the people involved: https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/torquay-united-unveil-huge-plan-1821661 Another pipe dream? Sounds good but with the history of these people I can’t see it ever happening. (Sounds like another racino!)

With the SGP being held in September next year will the pairs still take place the previous evening? Or, as it is so late and depending on the league structure how about replacing it with the PLRC?

Are there seats still available?

Is it Sky’s fault? Imagine giving a relation the opportunity of a lifetime in terms of money and in Speedways case TV exposure only to find that any potential gain in from the deal in terms of re-building and re-branding the sport had been squandered.
