The way you are going on you would think it was the day before the meeting and people are already travelling, it's 10 days away yet plenty of notice! Can you park outside Cardiff for £5, no, park & ride ride there is £8 and local car parks are £12-15. Manchester City Council are organising this and treating it as a major event in the city, you can't park at Etihad stadium for other events for £5.

Correct, no more been announced yet.

You will still be able to access hotel, road will be closed further up past greyhound stadium. You could get train but looking at timetable they seem to be every 2 hours at weekend? I'd get bus they are every few mins and will only take 10 mins

About 2 miles, not really Yes bus. Several buses you can get like 201,203, 204 that go down Hyde road, get off when you see Showcase cinema, very frequent every few minutes from Piccadilly.

Kirkmanshulme Lane will be closed to traffic and local residential streets will have temporary residents permit scheme. Wouldnt bother with Ryder brow trains very infrequent. Official parking will be at Etihad stadium with a shuttle bus system.

Where does the track equipment come from used at Cardiff? I haven't see the hydraulic rotating grader used at any other tracks?

10,000

Grandstand tickets have been sold out for weeks, standing on back straight and first bend also sold out. 903 seats (100 less then earlier in the week) available in temporary stand on 3rd/4th bend and standing available on 3rd/4th bend in front of stand.

Those grapes are so sour

Because the track is so wide, tapes are 15m wide so always going to have that slight problem. It doesn't affect anything as riders are looking towards the sides anyway.

You have to give it longer then that as first 4-5 heats are normally not great till dirt starts moving out. Record one of them!

Yep or just buy them on the day.

One of the cheapest actually at £17, £1 cheaper then Wolves, kids are free too up to 12 which they aren't at Wolves and plenty of free car parking about.

LOL would have been better doing R/R with everyone able to take a ride!

Thought it would be him or Danny King.

It was not surprising at all, Kings Lynn had a dreadful team, the weather had been poor all day with more showers forecast for evening and football was on the TV.

306 seats in grandstand pre booked for Wedsnesday, most will be season ticket holders. There was more then 250 in there on Friday, between 400-500 I'd say.

She wrote : "I'll take the blame for this. (Though it wasn't a solo decision) The pre match meeting planned for an interval after heat 11. Provisional plans are made at 5.45pm. I realised that Matej would have two races back to back which would mean 5 minutes between races after heat 10, so talked to the team managers and referee, it made sense to have the interval then. No one argued and obviously in hindsight I should have cancelled the interval altogether. I looked at the weather chart all day and it changed every time I looked at it. Next big shower was due at 10pm Mid interval we saw the black cloud and rushed into heat 11. Too little too late. No agenda, no greed, just trying to run a safe entertaining meeting." My estimation was 800 last night too. By far the lowest of the season due to the weather and poor opposition lineup but not far off the regular attendances from next door.

Unless something suddenly changed his mind after last nights meeting as he was saying last night he was going straight from Kings Lynn.

Yep that's correct, rule was changed couple of years ago, just not allowed to guest at same track multiple times within the 8 days

Everyone

Another joke lineup with Kings Lynn missing 3 riders (Iversen, Korneliussen & Lambert) and Belle Vue 1 (Cook). Belle Vue Rentruck Aces Matej Žagar; Steve Worrall; Scott Nicholls ©; Max Fricke; Craig Cook R/R; Richie Worrall; Joe Jacobs Kings Lynn Roger Warnes Trasport Stars Troy Batchelor ©; Lewis Rose; Kenneth Hansen (G); Kai Huckenbeck; Jacob Thorssell (G); Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen; Simon Lambert

Think Steve Worrall should be at second string with Scott Nicholls moving back up to heatleader.

That track is so much better after a lot of rain, I was there in early 2000's when there was lot of rain before the start and start was delayed by an hour, was great racing afterwards. Usually it is far too dry and slick.

And has ridden 3 times at NSS and been poor every time.
