A lot of it now is how fast you can evacuate an area if !! Something happened, often on temporary stands you have long lines of seats and few exit plaxes where in stadiums,these lines of seats are shorter and more exit points, plus the amount of stewards required per so many of a crowd is a big ask these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly... I don't think the racing was that bad at any point during the week... Yeah it got better as each meeting passed, but there was still some good racing in the first semi... 9 hours ago, DazS said: i think everyone should where a yellow vest and hard hat.

Wales Online has just release a story of a fan that's been missing since the GP with links to report any information to the Police etc Live: Wales breaking news plus weather and traffic updates (Tuesday, September 5) - Wales Online I have read that his is now home and safe? Not sure how true that source is, but hope it's correct... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always better watching Speedway live than on TV, you can take so much more in during a race... rather than watching from a drone for example 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 I for one wouldn't go if it were anywhere other than really local to me if held elsewhere as I wouldn't buy a ticket until the weather forecast was in place. No such drama with Cardiff, it's guaranteed to be on. Have stayed in a B&B in mid-wales for £30 & travel to the venue is not that hard then. This year though I got a coach, 5 hour journey, left home at 6.45am, home again at 2am the next day - £40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheese Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 If anyone missed the meeting or wants to watch again, it's available on iPlayer for the next 25 days as it was shown on Welsh channel S4C. The programme didn't start until 5.30 but it looks like they show all races until they catch up live. Just search 'Grand Prix' and it should come up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
