Cardiff The Greatest Show Earth


Recommended Posts

Blimey, I've just worked out that James was 9 when we first went! I actually hadn't realised he was THAT young....what a squirt he was too.

 

It's about the only time he goes to speedway now, he loves the GP's although now we have Bobby back at Ippo, I may be able to persuade him to come more often. :unsure:

 

Sorry, just my ramblings.....

I've been stood outside the City Arms and can hardly hear myself speak with all the airhorns and rowdy Poles around. Everyone is so friendly and you end up chatting with some great people.

 

Jacques, it'll be great to see you again. Actually, I'm also planning to go to Swindon on Thursday, maybe see you there as well?

 

All the best

Rob

I think someone touched upon it earlier to sum things up - A SPEEDWAY CARNIVAL !

 

I grew up a speedway fan watching my local team Cradley until their demise ten or so years ago. I have no affinity with League racing now though do watch all the brilliant Sky coverage to keep my speedway 'fix' up.

 

However, since the first Cardiff I always put myself out to get down there (missed only one - the Bomber win unfortunately !) - I have taken the family for a long expensive weekend at the Hilton or, more recently, have made the long return drive down from the East side of England.

 

I always meet up with my old West Midlands mates from Cradley and the time flies by until tapes up time - seeing speedway people together on such a huge scale makes me so proud and keeps me in touch with the sport - a sport that would disappear from my horizon as a 'live' event if it was not for the Cardiff experience.

 

Here's to Saturday's Carnival - I'll be on my way early.

I absolutely love everything about Cardiff, it's definitely one of the highlights of my year! Not just the meeting, but the whole day, there is such a great atmosphere around Cardiff, I particularly like the sound of the air horns going off in the street. Then there's the added bonus of the Prince of Wales, which has to be one of my favourite ever pubs.

 

The stadium never fails to amaze me every time and the whole spectacle really is something very special. As speedway fans we can feel very proud of our sport for one night which makes a nice change at the moment!

 

Roll on Saturday!
