A ORLOV Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Wouldn't fancy leaving it that late myself. Done that previously for a few events that I know have not been a sell out. Anyway if GP ticket not available from tout you can go to the ticket desk and get one, be really cheeky and make them an offer for one, but be prepared to pay full price. Get the cheapest ticket then move from that seat when inside. Anyway, if they have not been announced how about Garrity and Lambert as reserves. They should liven up the meeting if they get a chance of a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 when you go to any event why are the touts still willing to buy tickets right up to the start time of the event. can they get the cash back for any unsold tickets? just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 There could be a bit of extra atmosphere at Cardiff, tonight in Sweden Nicki Pedersen took Greg Hancock off his bike, Greg then got off the ground, ran across to Nicki and and showed his appreciation by knocking him off his bike. Not the clearest video but already on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWlmPxx9TWU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedersen really needs to be fined for that. That was nothing short of deliberate. Edited June 16, 2015 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Who's Adrian Flux? Flux knows? Wont be doing park and ride this year after last years shambles.

Phil Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 A closer look at some photos and it does in fact look like they now have concrete slabs put down. Can't imagine that dos the pitch much good! he first-ever pitch covering has been installed on top of Welsh rugby's hallowed turf which this season staged victories over South Africa and Ireland ahead of Rugby World Cup 2015 which brings eight matches to Cardiff. The top-of-the-range Terraplas system, made up of 8678 tiles and measuring 10500 square metres, will provide a protective cover for the hybrid pitch and enhance the stadium's flexibility as a multi-event venue. The world's biggest pop band One Direction will be the first to put the new flooring to the test when they bring their impressive stage rig and over 100,000 dancing fans to Cardiff across two concerts on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 June. The Terratrak Plus ® is a high-density polyethylene surface which functions as a temporary drivable roadway for heavy duty vehicles and cranes. It will take a static load of 758.8 tonnes per square metre, the equivalent to an armoured fighting vehicle. While still protecting the synthetic and natural grass below, the translucent natural material allows the passage of light for photosynthesis to continue when the grass is covered for up to four days. When the covering is left for a longer period, new grass will be sown to restore perfect pitch conditions at the home of Welsh rugby. The dramatic transformation from world-class rugby venue into Europe's largest indoor arena was made in just over 24 working hours. The new system replaces the old palletised pitch which previously took up to a week to remove. Stadium Manager Mark Williams has hailed the arrival of the modern system during an exciting year at the stadium. He said: "This is a brand new era for Millennium Stadium events as we welcome the very-latest in stadium flooring solutions to revolutionise the transition between what we term 'pitch' and 'non-pitch' activity at the venue. "The new system opens up the opportunity to deliver non-pitch events at any time of the year while also preserving the conditions of the pitch below and ensures that the Millennium Stadium can continue to attract a diverse range of events to Wales. "For the stadium groundstaff, the operational and logistical benefits are tremendous as we no longer need to remove and install over 7,000 turf pallets during a summer season. "Next month One Direction will bring an impressive stage rig and thousands of dancing fans to test out the stadium's new floor followed by the British Championship Speedway Grand Prix which will look very different again! "Fast forward another few weeks and the stadium will look like a world-class rugby stadium once more as Wales prepare for Rugby World Cup 2015 with the Dove Men Tests at home against Ireland and Italy. "2015 is going to be a memorable year. I'm confident that our pitch system and Terraplas covering has given us a robust and sustainable platform so we can continue to concentrate on delivering the very best experience whatever the event." The installation is the final phase of a £3.1 million project which was launched at the start of the season to reveal a hybrid pitch, which intertwines millions of artificial fibres with grass turf, and state-of-the-art 'plug and play' facilities for media. The major investment was fully supported and part-funded by the Welsh Government in readiness for Rugby World Cup 2015, which includes two of Wales' pool matches and two quarter finals in Cardiff http://www.terraplas.com/Products/Terraplas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I know a lot of people on here don't like fans cheering when a rider of the opposition falls but if Nicki falls in Cardiff the cheers will be heard in Bridgend!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 With the building of the track on top of this new surface which is on top of the rugby pitch I just hope that Olsen remembers that they will have to run a lawn mower around the track on July 3rd.

crazysue Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Really trying to be there for it this year, although it would have to be accompanied by my wheelchair and someone to push the begger! Feel quite uncomfortable about that to be honest, I rarely take the chair to speedway (done it once at Lakeside) and it does involve extra work to be able to do the day. We will see though, got to arrange transport and tickets first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my family's experience, admittedly a few years ago, the Millenium Stadium staff look after wheelchair users and their carers superbly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerald tyke Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Crazysue just let your love of Speedway help you through this and book those tickets!! Enjoy the day and yes I've seen the stadium staff helping disabled, unsteady folk and elderly people. One year a poor woman walked up the flight of steps to her seat and then obv got a case of fear at heights and a steward had to help and escort her slowly back down from the seat ,step by step one by one which was done in a very gentle manner Edited June 22, 2015 by emerald tyke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
