Sorry, that's ludicrous.  Harris' win in 2007 and Rickardsson's wall of death in 2005 are among the most iconic moments in GP history

Wall of death he just rolled round 😳

Have you always been an idiot? History lesson for. You do know why coventry was bombed during the second world war. Thats why we have two cathedrals. Twinned with gaza?. Hope your a man city fan and have a great christmas

Two cathedral's but no speedway track....

And no one noticed the city had been bombed until 1965....

It's probably reached a natural end, but the way it's been dealt with is abysmal. I'm sure the usual suspect will be along soon to chastise those who've booked non-refundable accommodation, but that was a big attraction of Cardiff: it would never be rained off.

Whatever your thoughts are of the whole event, there are now unhappy speedway fans who have lost money on hotels, and maybe some who won't bother as much with speedway.

WBD have been an unmitigated disaster.

Not rained off, but it was very nearly cancelled/abandoned a few years back due to track conditions. 

Your final comment succinctly hits the nail on the head though.

BSI when in charge were always the promoters of the Cardiff GP- you must have a short memory- they used to promote other GP’s as well - Parken Copenhagen and Gelsenkirchen  Germany as well.

My apologies I forget about the German and Danish ones what I meant to say was that WBD are not event promotors . They do however still have some very good ideas and plans on how to move the series forward with further progress made on possibly having a London GP if all the logistics and arena availability was to fall into place for another year

Or it'll be London in Nigeria, where a rich Prince has promised his inheritance to WBD in a no-loss contract to broaden speedway's horizons.

I think you can file a London GP with the Australian one
