BWitcher Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Worst GP I've been to in Cardiff and I've been to them all took till heat 19 to gets anything near what could be called a race all about gate one gate and go racing - the atmosphere in the stadium was also flat I thought really enjoyed the weekend met up with lots of friends I only see once a year at Cardiff and will be back again in 2016 but if it was just the speedway I came for id not be back - poor meeting - You're entitled to an opinion, but when you make things up to back it up it loses credence.

van wolfswinkel Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Great day out as usual, average racing, good weather and live music from The Magoos, hope Batch is ok. Too much reliance on Gate 1 Red. Good to see Iversen win from 3 white, superb pass of Holder, who was favourite to win it, although disappointing for the Brits/ Woffy fans. First time I've heard the Danish anthem at Cardiff, been going since 2005, and missed 3 in that time. Don't know why they were selling 38 quid tickets in 29 quid area between bends 3-4? Will be buying in advance in future. And the 9.00 London train disappeared, most of the Swindon fans managed to pack onto the sardine-like Bristol Temple Meads train, although a few couldn't get on that one, and could have missed their connection to Swindon. Great atmosphere on the late-night party train. Hope the family from Ipswich got all their drinks into the stadium through security, because of the big crowds waiting to get in could only search a few peeps. Should open gates at 3.30 Still a fab day out in the Welsh capital, and the minutes silence for the Tunisian massacre victims was impeccably observed. See ya next year.

Haza Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I can only presume I went to a different meeting to almost everyone else . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I can only presume I went to a different meeting to almost everyone else . You must simply have been doing the poor camera mans trick of just watching the leader... as there was passing (multiple in some cases) in 17 of the 23 heats. In at least 3 of the others there was very, very tight racing. Which leaves just 3 out and out processions. IF gate 1 hadn't been so advantageous it could have been one of the best GP's of all time, but because so often the rider off 1 had such a lead, they couldn't be caught. The races between the other 3 gates were excellent. Edited July 5, 2015 by BWitcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van wolfswinkel Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 What was the official attendance? Looked slightly up on last year. Could understand the look of disgust from Lambert when Garrity needlessly took him out! And you always need Naughty Nicki as the pantomime villain, unluckily Killer was on the receiving end of him and Doyley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van wolfswinkel Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Philip Rising said 40,750 Nearly 5000 down on last year then! Perhaps not as many Poles, and don't think the presentation/noise/atmosphere is as good as 10 years ago.

orion Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I Thought is was a really good meeting ..you have to wonder what speedway people watch as a rule if they thought it was poor ..plenty of passing what is rare in speedway on a decent track ..the only minus was gate 1 having such an advantage . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 and I've made what up ??? You claimed it took till Heat 19 to get anything 'near to a race'. That is made up as there had been passing in the majority of heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnboy Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I can only presume I went to a different meeting to almost everyone else .[/quote Well I thought it was a good meeting.

SpecialOne Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 An enjoyable day with some decent racing, particularity Tai's ride. Definitely the most empty I have seen it though, after heat 4 I moved from my nosebleed seats to some great seats at the very front of the top tier on back straight. Only negative was there was a Coventry fan around but he had nothing to cheer so was ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigbo Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just watching it now. Seems decent enough to me - gate 1 bias apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 You claimed it took till Heat 19 to get anything 'near to a race'. That is made up as there had been passing in the majority of heats. if that is my opinion how is that made up ? You are entitled to your option and I am also - for me in MY opinion there wasn't anything like a race till heat 19 the event was flat and just never got going it need a spark which never came - we was at Somerset the night before and that was 100% better than what I saw last night .

2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Didn't go this year and didn't miss it. It's more of the occasion than the racing. May go back but to me prices increased this year too much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
