Cardiff 2019 Saturday September 21st


Recommended Posts

Looking at the date first made me think again about going in 2019, especially the start time, hope that is still 5pm, if they can go for 4pm that would suit me even better, 7pm start time would rule me out, stop the Polish supporters from getting smashed out of their heads in the bars, I too am worried about any clash of fixtures from the football, but I think we should all bear in mind that if Cardiff City were to play Swansea, or any other "big club" that surely would be on Sky TV on the Sunday kick off 4pm, just maybe the FIM have got other plans for Grand Prix's circuits elsewhere, maybe Stockholm may come back into the reckoning  and the Friends Arena may become available in July next year, I personally think we are all going to have to wait until the FIM conference in October to find out more.

Whats with the moans? Kids dont go to school Saturdays or Sundays so no problems there. The excuse it will be too cold is an imbecilic comment. Septembers can be balmy and Julys wet. Not much difference.  

As for football, as someone else has pointed out, the GP is a one off. Crowd could be bigger than normal. 

Steve as in a lot of your posts you manage to include some provocational bolleaux. I'd say crowd this year was a few thousand down . The minority sport of association football will knock a fair few more off  as will even less accommodation being available. I already know of nearly 20 people who won't be going until they find out 2019/20 football fixtures in mid june. 

The only saving grace will be if it's the last GP and title still on the line.

For me and hubby, Cardiff is a weekend away with our mates, it's not just about the Speedway. We don't have any interest in Football, but a lot of our friends do, so with five of them already saying it will depend on the Footy fixtures, or a flat " No, I won't be going" which I completely understand, it's going to be a damp squib, cheaper no doubt, but it isn't that attractive at the moment. I'm sure when we know what the proposed schedule is and it when it gets nearer the time, people will jump on board, but for now, my enthusiasm level is non existent........

I'm confused all these so called football fans on here moaning about Cardiff playing Swansea..  they in different division

Why can't people be happy they have a gp to attend 

There's another football season between now and then.So they could be in the same division. 

But trust me now Cardiff City will not be at home on the 21st September 2019.

I'm a football season ticket holder but will still be going to Cardiff. I can let a friend use my season ticket or utilise StubHub, there's also a load of other matches I can go to, but Cardiff is only once a year so that takes priority.  It's more than just a meeting to me, more a gathering of fans from across the country and supporting British Speedway.

I accept there may be a drop off of the casual fans but if the title is still on the line, and Tai is involved then the media attention will be much greater.

An intrigued, like many on here though, as to the reason why it has been moved to September.

I love posts like this. 

Every year some folk tell us the crowd is 'at least a few thousand' down on the previous year. Place should be nigh on empty by now!

Thankfully ever since I was at school and did a subject called 'History' I have understood the possibility of knowing facts about a time before i was born.

Books (or even magazines) are a good source of this sort of information.

STRANGELY the night speedway World Finals were held never came up in my history lessons.
