Hazzman Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Although advance ticket sales are up, it may only mean that less people we be buying on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarabanko Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Cheers Adder <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Talking of crowds, the crowd at the 1976 World Final in Poland drew 120.000 peoples. I think it was a special train going from England to the town of the Slaski Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarabanko Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Has anyone heard to attendance for the meeting a Cardiff tonigt? 40.000+??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) Has anyone heard to attendance for the meeting a Cardiff tonigt? 40.000+??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 38,000+ on the Official website. Have to say it looked more watching the Sky coverage, or do they just spread the crowd out more these days. I think that that is rather a disappointing crowd figure Edited June 12, 2005 by Crump99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beercellar Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) there were a few empty spaces between the crowd,but it was still a grand site to see,and the noise,WOW,we sat right at the back off the 2nd bend,was a grand view,and all the pols around made it even better.Wasnt so drunk this year,just a bit merry ish,managed to fill in all me programe,neetly.Got into bed at 3 am this morning,poxy road works on the M4,there seemed to be more coming home than there was going,or was it just me.

Steve Shovlar Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 It was clearly the biggest attandance at Cardiff since the GP moved there. Interesting to hear 38,000, when Benfield had already stated they had sold 40,000 by the start of the week. Whatever the exact figure, it was well up on previous GP's.

TwoMinuteWarning Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Not according to BSI : 2001 = 31,000 2002 = 40,000 2003 = 36,676 2004 - 35,000 They would get more there if they didn't show it on SKY live, the Swedes and Danes are not allowed to broadcast it live, they have to have a 2 hour delay. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who knows what to believe??!! Old editions of the FIM magazine at the FIM site says: 2001 = 32,000 2002 = 42,000 2003 = 40,000 2004 = 35,251 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW! Great view! The noise was just eletric! You wasn't as drunk as some people Am proud of you for filling your programme out! Even if i did fill out two heats Was tired when got back about 3am! You was struggling to stay awake Beercellar I was alright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) It was certainly packed where we were and I must say, I enjoyed the view from the top tier (we were also on the 2nd bend) but boy am I shattered today, we finally got in at 6am!!

JT Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Taken from Speedway World.tv Saturday's British GP crowd of 38,460 was a new speedway record for the Millennium Stadium, and the biggest turn-out at a meeting in this country since the last World Final staged at Wembley in 1981. That event, won famously by American hero Bruce Penhall, attracted a crowd of 72,769. As for worldwide World Championship attendances, Saturday was believed to be the highest since 41,000 watched Hans Nielsen win the 1989 World Final at the Olympic Stadium in Munich.

Trees Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 38,460 x £25 = £961,500 ....... nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Trees my dad was working the figures out today as well So where did the announcer get the figure 40,004 from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 from being there in person each year that was by far the biggest crowd so far at the Millenium Stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 38,460 x £25 = £961,500 ....... nice! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the largest section of the crowd were in the £45 seats so i think the profits will be a lot more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
