Deserve to have our season end after that. All credit to worky, chalk and cheese compared to last night. Hope they get some rewards for their efforts this season. -

Move along nothing to see here.... -
Love these moans about the stadium and the viewing. What do you expect us to do about it? In the current state of british speedway glad to have a track and team to support. We have survived only a couple seasons in the future everysince we moved there and again don't see much light ahead but some 'fans' would happily see us (and some other teams/tracks) fold. No monarchs in 5 years time a real possibility. Promotion/Directors have done wonders compared to what we started with. Yes there are areas viewing is not great so I don't stand there. Always see away fans on 3rd/4th bend (which is the best view imo, outside hospitality). Good few worky fans tonight fair play on travelling up. At every away track your greeted with some funny looks and murmers when you stand in the 'wrong place' I see it as their problem not mine. Unfortunately every team has their idiot fans. Then onto the trick track, again we didn't have much choice about size/shape not sure how we could change it or how else it could have been built. We prepare it for our riders and shudnt every team do that? It is a home track after all and shud have advantage. #tricktrackproud Onto last night's meeting, was more about the gating than racing. Monarchs far superior from the gate. Few good races thrown in (from both teams). Sure it will be a different story tonight but come away with a point shud be expected. Taken the bait and now not giving it back....

Cardiff 2018 21st July
Cj69 replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
What bothered me was the end behind the big screen was pretty full but the other end, where we could have seen the big screen was empty (top section ). That and the stupid way to introduce the riders. Great time tho and my son on his first visit loved it. -
Cardiff 2019 Saturday September 21st

I hope it's because the stadium is not available and not other reasons (whatever they are). Schools are back so my son won't be able to attend the pairs on Fri (if it's still night before) and would be a rush home on the Sunday. That along with the university unlikely to have many rooms available. Means I won't be there and no doubt many others too. -

Mark Riss has confirmed to be leaving. Expect Ruml the other name. Hope promotion have a number 7 lined up. Please no Clegg.

Only if the supporters buy him a race suit. So if no one does this he doesn't sign??? Not convinced we need (want?) him.

Nope. Does not compute....system error.

Said racing improved at the GP never said it was poor. Even the first half the racing better than most other meetings Iv seen this year. Yes Sunday was poor but I had good company and enjoyed a few beers. If I say I'm going for just a holiday the wife might want to tag along and why would I do that!!

My first year there and loved it. Not just about the GP for me especially when going away for a few days. City was beautiful, food and drink excellent (and very well priced). Loved the GP once racing improved and also went back for a meeting there on Sunday (poor racing but nice to get a sun tan while watching speedway). Track was an ideal location on a short metro ride from town and well presented. Really hope they go back as I intend to.

Cardiff Accommodation

Booked up to go down this year first time in 5 years taking along my dad (first GP in 10 years) and also my Son (first GP ever). Managed to get 2 rooms at Cardiff university about 20min walk from centre for £100. Two nights as we will head to Somerset for pairs on Fri. Looking forward to it. They have limited rooms available so would get in quick if anyone still debating. -
We have had this deal at my local cinema (Vue) for the last year and it does put the pricing for speedway to shame. £5 for 2 hours entertainment (subjective of course) or £17 to see 15 mins racing. Would always prefer the speedway but from a weekly attendee to to now twice a month it's just getting to expensive. Feel it reached its peak price at £15.
