when is this meeting being restaged, Thursday?

Tai at 50/1 to finish second http://sportsbeta.ladbrokes.com/BBC-Sports-Personality-N-1z10flk/

The first year of Cardiff the attendance was 38000 in 2010 it was 45000, I am not sure how reliable these figures are but there certainly wasn't a significant drop. I think there's more to it than the novelty of a new stadium, like the quality of entertainment on offer.

People could also suggest/complain to the bbc sport website, asking for some speedway coverage this weekend... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/3701180.stm

Can anybody pm a link please. thanks

Rightly or wrongly I think the 4 wild cards will be...Holder, Ward, Lindgren and Jonsson.

Does anybody know if Copenhagen will be on the calendar next year, there was some doubt early in the year.

What is the rider of the night competition and second half, I am not old enough to remember the 70s and 80s.

Can we get rid of douglas yet? how many meetings does he have to do before he gets his new average.

Magnus Karlsson could be an option

Josh Gracjzonek's definately the best option, Howe just doesn't get any luck.

will Zagar be in for Dryml in every race?

Can the reserve be used throughout the meeting in place of either of the pair.

The only positive scunny can take from this meeting is Ryan Douglas looked better, did I hear he was on Lee Dicken's bike, I am beginning to think he might be good rider if he got some better equipment.

Every time Cardiff comes around this discussion starts and every time countless people come on this thread to say that they don't care about the pre entertainment. If you don't care why bother even looking at this thread.

Lewis Blackbird in for Josh Bates, see greensheets on BSPA website.

Towards the end of the meeting there was only one line but earlier on there was at least 6 passes on the inside, thats more than some tracks get in a whole meeting.

It was a good meeting better than anyting on sky so far this year, having said that it was the worst meeting I have seen at scunny this year, track didn't seem to have as much dirt on as usual.

Your right about the top 5, I hope your right about the playoffs.

I agree riders do need time to settle in, but have scunny got that time. If scunny had gary Irving at reserve we would be ok but as it is we have got two reserves that need time to settle in and its costing us crucial points in the race for the playoffs. The top 5 have been pulling their weight just look at the ipswitch match.

I think I would make changes now, Emiliano Sanchez for Dougles, tom young for Bates. The way rolling averages work, from the 1st of may our top 5 will have all upped their averages totaling 34.01, leaving 8.49 for our final 2 riders. If Ryan is riding at 3.6 that only leaves about 4.89 for a final rider and that means MPT will still ride in the main body of the team.

I don't think gates 2 and 3 where disadvantaged because riders nearly always watch the magnet rather than the tapes.

Quality racing as always at the EWR, I think Scunny will have to make a change at reserve if they going to make the play offs.

Since when does the national league team come before the premier league team. Have we seen the last of Josh Bates?

Can someone please tell me how the polish meeting rules differ from ours, i.e tactical subs, reserve riders, maximum and minimum number of rides that can be taken.
