manchesterpaul Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My only issue is that on ITV Wales they're using that stupid advert they've been using on Sky talking about wining at Cardiff and getting a quote form all the people who have won there (apart from TRick) and what ti means. There not a single speedway bike in the advert, it's a terrible advert tbh. Ouch hadn't realized that before now so totally agree it's an awful advert. The fact that speedway is such a visually exciting sport makes the omission all the worst. I wouldn't mind but most of the general sporting public simply are not familiar with the riders, their characters or their history so that weakens the 'drama' of the personal statement aspect of it all. Whilst unlike a decade ago most people now are aware of what speedway is, mainly thanks to Sky, i notice that a lot of websites including the very large official ones do feel the need to have a section invariably called 'What Is Speedway'. Admittedly they are usually well worded and do make the sport sound exciting. Even though we hear it ad nauseum i still love the phrase 'No brakes, no gears, no fear'. Many outsiders to the sport even though they know what speedway is are unaware that the bikes have no brakes and such a fact invariably raises an eyebrow and interest.

fatface Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have a spare ticket for the Grand Prix this weekend. It's a cracking view from the second tier, right above the pits on the entrance to the track. It's £83 on the ticket. I can sell it for £50. PM me if you want it. You can collect it from me in person in Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Where is the Millenium Stadium ticket office to get tickets on the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Where is the Millenium Stadium ticket office to get tickets on the day? Just next to the main entrance. There's usually a long queue. We buy the cheapest seats possible, if not from a tout then from the box office. Then move after 4 heats to a better location!

Last year we got free tickets from competition, they were high up and just moved after couple of heats. This year need to get some for group of 6 of us, will get cheapest and try to move but not as easy with 6 of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
