Try ticket line. To find them, go to the Prince of Wales (and get Craig to buy you a drink), then go out to where we all meet on GP day and look towards the stadium, walk down that road, looking to the right and you'll see ticket line about 150 metres down the road. While you're in there, ask for a GP poster, they'll get you one from out the back,I have 7 seasons worth of posters from them somewhere.

From speedwaygp.com: OPEN PRACTICE Practice for this year’s FIM British Speedway Grand Prix will be open to fans who want to watch their heroes prepare for the 10th anniversary of the sport’s flagship event at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium. After a successful trial last year, BSI Speedway and the Millennium Stadium have decided to offer free admission to the Friday session to all valid ticket holders. The session, which will feature all 15 Grand Prix regulars plus the wild card and track reserves, will run from 3pm to 5pm on Friday, July 9, the day prior to the British SGP. This provides a unique opportunity to see riders taking to the track for the first time, and their quest to find the right racing lines and set-up for their bikes. The stadium will open its gates at 2pm. As a special bonus, speedway legend Barry Briggs will conclude his marathon ride around Britain for Sport Relief, by taking a final lap of the Millennium Stadium track. The four-time world champion will take the chequered flag at around 2.30pm. Paul Bellamy, managing director, BSI Speedway, said: “Every year we aim to provide fans with a bigger and better event. Last year the opening of practice proved to be a very popular move and, with it being the 10th anniversary of racing at Cardiff, we decided to make the session open and free to all ticket holders. “It is fantastic Barry will finish his epic trip at the spiritual home of the sport. Earlier in his journey he rode around the new Wembley Stadium during half-time of an England match and the crowd recognised him and his achievement. I'm sure all speedway fans will be thrilled to see the conclusion of his long ride.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
