5 FURROW Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Just returned from the practice at the Leszno GP very good just what everybody wants why cannot we do the same in Cardiff there were sections that we could sit in and watch no problems what so ever we are all there for the GP and from what i saw today we all want to attend practice so lighten and let us watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi 5 I couldnt agree more but the H&S regulations are so different here than in Poland. Cardiff has said that in order to open up for fans to watch practice they would require a large number of staff to 'control' this. Safety stewards, entry stewards, first aiders etc. Its a real shame but this time bad management within speedway isnt to blame, its the countrys rules and regulations!!

SCB Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Personally, having attended Pragues practice day last year I cannot think of anything more utterly boring after the first round of rides. Maybe watching tractors drive around is more boring, oh no, we saw that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesboybert Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I don't find any practice session in the slightest bit interesting myself, watching one rider at a time doesnt interest me, very rarely go to the bees P&P for this very reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I don't find any practice session in the slightest bit interesting myself, watching one rider at a time doesnt interest me, Interests me!! made me a few bucks last year after they all laughed when I said Bomber was going to win, well all except one other at our hotel If you watch it you can see the lines they favour and how the track cuts up, sounds silly but watching Bomber, Leigh Adams and Greg Hancock during practise last year at Cardiff Bomber rode the white line, Greg went slightly wider and Leigh was more in the middle of the bend as Leigh hit the first and second bends a rut was beginning to appear but he still rode there throughout practise. Bomber on the other hand tried a few different "areas" of the track but favoured the inside which gave a smoother ride. Greg also favoured the very inside. Result Bomber 1st Greg 2nd .... so yep if the chance arises I'll be there to watch and see where my money will be going again this year Probably more luck than judgement after press and practise where I put my money but heyho £50 @ 50/1 thank you very much!!!!

Hazzman Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I once watched Lindback enjoy himself during practice at Bydgoszcz....very quick and then when the meeting came, he did an Olympic set. Richardson didn't even turn up and came 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
