Like I said, I don't think they'll move the Gp from Cardiff...too much of a success story Also the 5 year contract that brought us to 2011 is just up for renewal thats all...hopefully all their discussions will pay off for another 5 years. I know we'll be there EVERY year its in Cardiff..unlike if it ever moved back to London An extra one at the new BV stadium would be nice though

Can't see the Cardiff Gp being moved to anywhere else. Why would they? Its the showcase!! probably a tactic to get a price reduction though! Its a brilliant venue for us anyway travelling over from Ireland yearly....knowing its one meeting we can attend that can NEVER be rained off!!...would be an expensive exercise otherwise for us.

Will be worth attending (albeit with the heat and smell of sweat in there!!) to buy a T Shirt to show our support to Leigh Adams...and they only £10. I think the £1 entry fee is also usually for a charity which sure makes worth while going in....might even be in aid of SRBF.

Looks like you won't be the only Cardiff gp newbie!! Glad to see this event being promoted within Wales http://www.cardiffblues.com/news/5185.php Hope they enjoy the experience too!!

Should be a cracking day all in all. Hope the 'man above' supplies us with a fine sunny day for all thats going on and make it a success for the organisers and fans alike. Was a brill event on the fanzone last year, glad its back. Wonder will the robot be back? Hopefully the new screens and sound system will only "help" Stacey Solomon sound ok too when we get inside ...and a British win again would top it off nicely. Come on Scotty or Chris (don't mind which!!)

Yup it sure is ..starts at 11 on St Mary street...see thread in forum already

Don't think Bomber fell off by himself tonight. Thats the problem with the brits they always "hang onto it" and try and RACE!! A few lesser men dump it immediately. Whereas as we saw lastnight when something/body touches NP he falls straight away hoping for another persons exc.Can give but not take. Whenever NP head goes up and he looks 'ever so slightly out of control' you can guarantee someones in his firing line. Adds a bit of spice to a meeting though Come on Scott and Bomber in Cardiff lets have something to shout about!! A bit more banking there too will add a racing line.

Thanks guys for the explanation......didnt make a difference for the finalists...neither of em qualified!! Great Final to a pretty good gp. Roll on Cardiff here we come should be a cracker.

argh!!! can someoe excplain to me how Bomber got 7th place to qualify for semis. Surely with him being excluded BEFORE Nicki it should be Nicki in 7th and Bomber in 8th. Wrong semi final. Or have I missed something ????

Thanx MP as usual for your efforts creating this prog

Oh God help us all!! Ah well lets hope the "interval" entertainment will be an improvement...dont suppose Take That will hang around from the previous weekend and give us a few songs!! We're going to Cardiff and enjoy whats on offer..still a good event to support.Hope the weather is good too.

Yes my gang heading to the Gp will defo be soaking up the atmosphere on the streets....can go to the pub any other day of the year!

Yep its definately happening in 2011 just found this Speedway spectacular to hit Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium 25th May 2011 Fast and furious family fun, the FIM Doodson British Speedway Grand Prix at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium is right up there with the biggest events in the British motorsport calendar. The fun will start in the Fanzone on St Mary Street (from 11am) and the Grand Prix will start with pre-event entertainment in the Millennium Stadium, followed by the Grand Prix and finishing with a fantastic firework display. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes the event last year was a great addition to the day...haven't heard if its happening again for 2011 but think it may have been a 1 off last time for the 10yr anniversary Also does anyone know if the stadium is open again on fridays practise day for ticketholders?? Roll on June 25th Hope to see Scott Nicholls in as w/c

Many Thanks as always MP for the trouble you go to each Gp in making these progs.....it makes the meeting more enjoyable!

If theres anyone heading to Cardiff area on friday 24th there are rooms available at Hilton Newport on J24 of M$ A48 Chepstow road(half hour drive to Cardiff)rooms suitable for 4 adults at £87 inc breakfast Don't think that price is beatable!! Its 14 day adv prepay but also available at £145 which is cancellable on the day no money taken. Its not available for the GP night but may suit fans wanting to be down before the saturday and then heading straight home after Gp. Stayed there every year and great hotel including leisure centre.

Take a peep.....maybe they could be there the week before for a practise session.....wouldn't be the worse entertainment before the Gp!! On 2nd July 2011, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium will shake to the foundations as over 100 dirt bikes, quad bikes, snowmobiles, mini motobikes and Harley Davidsons roar into life in the biggest and most spectacular Freestyle Motocross event seen in the UK. For the first time ever the very best riders in the world and most famous teams in FMX, Metal Mulisha and Crusty Demons, will join forces with the Harley Davidson Freestyle Stunt Team to create Extreme Freestylers - a shock and awe show described as ‘Cirque Du Soleil meets Jackass on motorbikes’.

Thanks manchesterpaul for the trouble you have gone to in providing us "diehards" with a programme for tonights meeting. ...what the hell about the line-up I'm just grateful to see an extra meeting on sky this week.

Great news!!! Hopefully the sound system will also have been included which will improve what is already a brilliant event......Roll on June 25 2011!!!!!!

Its on SS2 but only RED button unfortunately!! Hope u not going away and hoping to record.

Would make a change and add something to attract the new generation ie "kids" a bit of mystery etc with a different celeb each time. Can't be any worse than what the "promoters" are doing now!!!! Which is nowt basically. I know a few people at towns where there is a speedway team and the locals thought it ended years ago!!!

Usual in Vojens then although.... weathercheck says saturday afternoon/cloudy with sun with chance of showers and saturday evening/cloudy and clear skies with SLIGHT chance of showers. Hope this meeting goes ahead with great racing and preferably a BRIT win!! Don't think i could stand another rescheduled meeting although that may please a few on forum and maybe then not on red button.

when u say at beginning of programme and review, do you mean when they are showing a snip of previous Gp before proper coverage of the gp..is it that music?

Apols for delay...have been back to watch the said recording but unsure of the music u need info on. Is it the music which is use regularly for speedway intro music etc for GPs or a tune specific to that one meet. Bydgoszcz Gp 17/0/2009?

Yep Cardiffs not a sell out so why host a second Gp In UK/GB? Pleased when attending Cardiff every year since started there and I do appreciate the roof.....at least when i pay for the ferry from Ireland + hotel for the event I know the meeting WILL TAKE PLACE (or at least it should, unless repeat of Gelshenkirchen fiasco!!)...that was a one off hopefully. Why should anyone want BSI/IMG to leave The Millennium Stadium Cardiff and head back to a London Stadium?? When in a few years time when it suits they will be told to leave when the pitch is invaded by tyre marks, shale or other event which doesn't suit. Same as the " Bradford Bulls" wanting Odsal all to themselves!! argh!!! If its not broken don't fix it!! Loved the Fanzone area..hope its there again in 2011 really built the day up before we went into the stadium.
