My missus who is driving didnt fancy driving there and back in one day. We are leaving at 9 and hope to get to Cardiif by 12-1 ish and enjoy the day and the pubs!

I got the same email.

How about having an extra one in Britain for a year or two and see if the crowds hold up at Cardiff? Obviously have it at a smaller venue like Coventry or maybe King's Lynn who do a great job for the SWC. Countries like Germany, Austria, Russia and of course USA and Australia should really have GP's if the organisers want a wider audience.

Me, my girlfriend and my daughter are stopping in Newport one night for £60. Train for the three of us is about£10, better than paying £100+ in Cardiff. Ticket sales look ok to me if you look on ticketmaster.

I dont think they decide on where to host a SWC based on the race track. It would be based more on facilities and Coventry is certainly the best in Britain and could get 12,000+ in there!

I havent had mine either but i only ordered them 2 weeks ago.

To be honest if there wasnt a regular GB rider in the series i would think twice about going to Cardiff, it's a very expensive weekend just to cheer on a wildcard. Your never know Bomber might have a blinding last few GP's lol.

I think they will pick Tai Woffinden instead of Harris as the token Brit as well as Hampel and Ward just depends who comes through the challenge to decide the last pick.

Once youve seen one dance act then youve seen them all. Pre entertainment does not interested me at all, why would i want to get into the stadium early and pay more for my drinks.

Next year in the Czech Rep, really?? Let's hope the hosts are not seeded into the final that would make it a mockery. Why not have the final in Britain, Coventry could certainly host it along with a few others. Also the joker HAS to go i have never liked it and last night was a bit of a joke.

I would have come to this but i have Olympic footy tickets for that day. Well done Matt Ford for putting this match on, should be a cracker!

Surely its time to give the the younger lads a chance. We have two riders in Bomber and Tai who will always do a good job in the SWC but we need a couple more who just have to be solid. I'd Give Auty a go next year and maybe Barker who did a decent job in the race off last year. Put the likes of Roynon and Worrall into the squad for experience and hopefully they can be given a go in a couple of years.

For me the Danes are the favourites but i can see GB getting close to them and Poland. Should be a cracking meeting!

My tickets arrived on Wednesday, i was getting concerned as im going Mablethorpe for the weekend!

Scott should be riding at Peterborough on Thursday so he should be fit, i would bet Barker would be named to replace Tai if he isnt fit

King and Barker have a great chance to make the GP challenge looking at the draw!

Really?? Apart from Greg they havent got much else, you shouldnt expect to much from Hammill. I think GB have picked the right 4 riders and if Woffinden is fit the they can push Australia at King's Lynn, is Darcy Ward going to be fit?

Intending to stand anyway, thanks for the reply. Always looks like a good crowd at KL for the WC, been a long time since ive been there.

Can you pay on the day or would you advise buying tickets in advance? Already got my hotel booked and looking forward to it!

For me it has to be, 1, Harris 2, Woffinden 3, Nicholls 4, Barker I think Barker deserves his place after last year's performance.

Looking forward to watching him against the big boys!

Harris and Woffinden are definites, the final two places will be between Kennett, Nicholls, Barker and Richardson if he wants to ride for GB.

Sky sports news did a report about the Olympic stadium a few months back and in that report it stated they have money set aside for changes to the stadium when they decide what to do with it, a roof was mentioned in the report. I can see advantages for a gp in London but with Cardiff having a roof has to be the biggest factor especially the cost of the whole event.

Gp's for me! Its what got me back into speedway after the birth of my daughter. The qualifying does need a tweak but on the whole it does get a true world champion. Should be no more than 14 gp's have 3 in the winter in Usa, Australia and NZ and the other 11 during the European season but please try and spread them around and not have 3 in Poland, 2 is enough!
