Gavan Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Lets hope Tai can give the fans what they want with a home victory. Good meetings for Chris and Danny to. Need Tai's nearest challengers like Hancock, Doyle and Zmarzlik to have a nightmare but Hancock usually goes great at Cardiff and could extend his lead.

Seymour Dix Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Anyone know what time the ticket office is open , I buy my tickets on the day, and if Cardiff Queen Street Station is open on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Anyone know what time the ticket office is open , I buy my tickets on the day, and if Cardiff Queen Street Station is open on the day Queen street station is open, but why would you use it? And the ticket office tends to be open from very early until the queues have gone (possibly after start time) but only tend to have the more expensive tickets. What you want it ticket line, ok it means a 5 minute walk but the queues are tiny in comparison and they tend to have cheaper tickets.

Seymour Dix Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) When i go to central theres always that filtering system ( I understand why ) that seems to take forever, it would be easier to walk to Queen Street and catch a train to central , but Ive heard on big occasions they close Queen Street to prevent people doing this . Would Speedway constitute a big occasion ? Is ticket line opposite the Stadium ? I cant remember the street name Edited July 5, 2016 by Seymour Dix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not what I want Are you not British? Ok maybe you want Bomber or King to win with Tai third. I understand that. Just as long as Tai marches towards becoming a 3x BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not what I want Me neither. Never been a fan and so sick of hearing how he is just accumulating points towards the championship. Might be a good strategy but is totally boring. Give me Kildemann, Doyle or Nicki any day, love them or hate them at least you know they are giving it 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me Kildemann, Doyle or Nicki any day, love them or hate them at least you know they are giving it 100% Yes give me those guys any day of the week having 1 good gp then rubbish in the next and having crashes. Great to watch but not going to make you a winner. I suppose you also hated seeing Mark Loram win the title without winning a Gp. Boring lol. I suppose when Mark needed those 2 points in the B final that night that you think he should have gone all out to win the race?? The system gives you the best and most consistent rider over the season.....a deserving World Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Can't stand Woffinden...don't want him to win it either! Just because he's British doesn't mean I have to support him either. Nicki P for me everytime 😊 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care if they only win one GP, I dont care who wins BSIs GP series. Do you get that I prefer one of finals as well. And for the record no one was more pleased than I was when Mark won the title. I will never forget the reception he got at Poole when he brought the title back to the UK, I was absolutely delighted I was able to be there. 6000 fans and every single one of them loved him to bits. There again Mark always gave 100% 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can't see anything anywhere that suggests it's closed. Ticket line is between the train station and the stadium. Outside the 4th bend. Westgate Street (basically keep walking down the main road that the stadium it on and it'll be on your left) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There again Mark always gave 100% I havent even offered an opinion so dont know what you are going on about! Simply mentioned that to become World Champion you have to ride sensibly. If your struggling make the most out of it and still try to get to the semi finals and get some points. I cant understand how in one sentence you think Tai is boring how he gets the points yet Mark Loram did the same thing in 2000. Both exactly the same. Watch Mark settle for points in the British GP at Coventry or the last round in Poland, when with the help of Joe Screen team riding and letting him through helped get points. For what its worth i preferred the one off final. Went to Bradford when Gundersen won it and then Vojens in 1994 when Mark was in his first one. However the fact is that the system in place now gives you a World Champion who is best over a whole season. This means accruing points . Is it better to get 15, 5, 12,7 or simply get 11 every round. Tai is ultra consistent and therefore deserving world champion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 What part of I don't give a flying fig about the BSI GP series do you not get. It simply allows riders to play the percentage game, which is fine if you like that kind of thing. I don't. I prefer to be entertained by riders who give 100% every time they ride. Mark was one of those riders, sure he had a bit of luck and help when he won the World Title, but I never ever saw him give less than 100% and I've seen him ride more times than I can count. He was one of the best team riders going, always had time for the fans, was a perfect ambassador for Britosh speedway and a thoroughly nice person as well who would do anything he could to help folk oh yeah and couldn't gate for toffee so always provided good entertainment. To be perfectly honest Tai doesn't even come close, but hey he's won 3 world titles so I accept that some people might not agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be perfectly honest Tai doesn't even come close, but hey he's won 3 world titles so I accept that some people might not agree. Im the biggest Mark Loram fan on the forum. My uncle sponosred him for many years from when he was 15 and basically we didnt really have a club we just went where Mark rode until it became Exeter and Wolves. Known his family for a long time , he came to the funerals of my aunt and uncle and my cousin still has his bib from his first british final win. Mark gave more than 100% on the bike. However have a good look at the 2000 series as many many times Mark settled for position. The first 2 in each heat went through so back then it was safer to get second then it was to attack and risk losing a place. Yes Mark was a great team rider and had time for the fans, but if you think Tai doesnt do the same then you are living in cloud cuckoo land, he has time for every fan and is the last to leave any meeting. And as for team riding he is up there with the best. for natural ability its Mark over Tai every time for me for being the best rider and the most successful its Tai. oh and hope you remember that Mark didnt want to ride in 2 British Finals in the past, for reasons that werent as good as Tai's and i say that as Marks biggest fan. So are you ok with that? Edited July 5, 2016 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea where I got midday from! But my maths is fine, my lack of knowledge isn't! It's not going down well that because theres a speedway track on the pitch that only 20,000 people can get in and sit down and all tickets have already gone (I'm one of them thats pissed off as Ive queued all morning). I hope this is being done! 7500 more tickets being made available tomorrow Edited July 5, 2016 by Noodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
