I love Cardiff, only missed twice, for weddings . But I don't think it has ever got close to 50k, and being fair I don't think BSI have claimed so. Sometimes it has been said to have tipped over the 40k mark, but I don't think that is full full priced payers though. A very creditable 35-40k is nearer the mark. And nothing like a white elephant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the WulfSport Jacket off and look at what is happening in the world just now. Edited June 2, 2020 by Hacksaw Jim Duggan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No event in the UK comes close to showcasing the sport in a better light that Cardiff does. NSS is a better race track, but that is only a small part of it. For starters you're ruling out 30,000 from attending.. smart business sense! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Never understood this Cardiff is boring rhetoric. Missed only 1 Cardiff GP. In all the times I did attend I cant remember any that were boring. Racing can be better at other tracks of course but there is always drama, excitement and an unrivaled atmosphere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Unfortunately now the 2021 date is known the hotels of Cardiff and surrounding areas will have decided how much they are going to fleece the speedway fans for !! Can't see me getting my premier Inn bargain of £149 for 2 nites like this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full Belle Vue (which produces a great atmosphere if that's so important to you) or a Cardiff that has swathes of empty seats cunningly hidden by having no tv cameras fixed on it?

What about the swathes of empty seats on the top level at Cardiff ? They are not hidden by the safety fence . For me after attending every Cardiff Gp for the first 17 years I became very bored with it and fed up with rip off hotel prices and I ve not missed attending in the slightest for me the highlight of the whole weekend was the Pairs at Somerset on the Friday and the social side of Cardiff seeing friends I’d only see once a year - the whole thing needs a shake up in my opinion other than last year when it was in September most years it’s even run on the same weekend each year why not have the last gp one season ?- BV would not create the same atmosphere as Cardiff though most of it is air horns but one thing definitely the racing would be 100% better .
