I think as first reserve Brennan ranks above Flint's second reserve so 'breaking' the tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out, if you can, the superb wrap around photo on the current issue of Classic Speedway, showing a crowd around 25,000 for GB v Russia. No need to panic about Cardiff attendances just yet. No need to panic yet If what I have been told is true the question supporters should be asking is how many of the 22,000 supporters at this years Cardiff GP actually paid for their ticket. £62 for middle tier this year and quotes of £70 for 2023 have left me thinking enough is enough.

Paid £65.00 for middle tier ticket. (That is with reduction, should have been about £80?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking for an argument... but why would you pay £62/£70 for a middle tier ticket when you can get a top tier ticket for £22.50? I've sat in both sections and I'd say because of the steeper angle of the top tier you get a better uninterrupted view imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the point though isn’t it, in your opinion, as in previous conversations our opinions are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people that didn’t pay anything for a middle tier ticket both on the bends and the straights.

topaz325 Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 So was the official attendance 22000 , way down on previous years and will likely be a lot less next year with the rise in....well more or less everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if the British GP is switched to Manchester if advance ticket sales are poor for Cardiff. At 22000 this year someone must be losing a lot of money, can't see that being repeated next year.

If crowd level dropped below 10000 it might go to Manchester , Cardiff has the central location to bars, rester-aunts, hotels etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
