  1. i saw someting on the TV a fair few years back where a Welsh politician said that every event, rugby,football,concert etc at Cardiff boosts the local economy by £10 million. So if the Welsh Government or tourist board were pumping £160K into holding the event, to me that makes good business sense. No doubt some of the overseas fans will also make a bit more of a holiday of it and take in some of the Welsh scenery thereby boosting the economy elsewhere in the country. Wembley would hopefully be a great venue, the biggest problem being there's not a lot there for pre and post meeting entertainment. Though on the comcourses around the stadium there is plenty of room for pop up bars and food outlets, Could even have a couple of stages set up on opposite sides of the stadium and have a bit of live music. Of course anyone who thinks Cardiff is dear for a hotel won't be happy with London prices. An enterprising promoter would contact Chiltern Railways at the earliest opportunity and before event announced to ask if they could alter the timetable so all trains stopped at Wembley, and put a few late trains on heading to Birmingham, to actively promote fans to travel in on the train. Sounds daft i know but when Oxford got to the JPT final a few years ago, with 6 weeks notice they had changed the timetable, laid on a few extra trains and made sure absolutely everyone was aware of the groupsave option. Hence the trains were busy and the roads around Wembley a fair bit quieter. No doubt a very good way to promote their line as a cheap and quick route into London for future days out.
  2. I've had BT for a few years now and sometime last year, when they could add on the full Sky Sports package i took the upgrade, earlier this year i received an email saying they were now able to show Eurosport again, which i get free as part of my deal. Maybe you should contact BT and see if they can add Eurosport to your deal and how much it will cost, mentioning all the longstanding customer etc.
  3. All you should need dependent on phone is a HDMI to type C, or whichever connection your phone has for charging, cable to connect phone and TV, Change source on TV, though you may need to set up mirror image on the phone, YouTube is your friend for the video masterclass in doing this if no primary school aged children available. I bought a cable from Amazon for £8.99 and it works with both my phone [Samsung] and Chromebook
  4. I reckon the IOW should have called the meetings they are running, Zuzel, most of those who follow speedway would know what it is, those that don't may have been intrigued by the unusual name, hopefully intrigued enough to pay a visit
  5. Watching Magpie for a glimpse of Jenny Hanley, no doubt
  6. Hopefully a fair few of us Oxford supporters will be taking the opportunity to dig our passports out and go abroad again to see a team representing the Cheetahs, Thanks to Barry and Martin for laying on the entertainment for us.
  7. i'm sure it said the new owners of the clubhouse were in a completely different business and wouldn't be running it as a hospitality venue.
  8. And if you watch Nothing to Declare most of them don't understand the words food and prohibited
  9. Every day's a schoolday i never new you needed a roadmap for banger racing
  10. I doubt if they would have a meltdown, they've come a long way since the fence scraping antics of the young touring teams of the 70s and 80s
  11. Maybe pay for a vaccine to jump the queue, but even then as you have to have 2 shots X amount of weeks apart, they would still not be vaccinated in time
  12. Money Money Money, probably very limited capacity, Rugby
  13. If Cardiff is off and the Top riders are allowed out of Poland, maybe, if i'm allowed to suggest it, back to back behind closed doors GPs in Britain, Glasgow or Berwick on the friday and Belle Vue on the saturday
  14. Is the Brazilian variant the one that makes women go bald ?
  15. You are a top fan of your club, not having a dig at any fan of any club, but i bet there are many who wish if they could arrange time off and finances that they could follow your lead. I hope the riders and management, and also those of the opposition acknowledge your support at every meeting.
  16. If it proves to Newsteam when they've cocked up. Like i said on an earlier post about confusing street numbering and layouts along with SatNav that takes you to somewhere 200 yards away. The delivery person may think he's delivering to 5 Daffodil Drive but in reality he's delivering to 5 Alpha Avenue. Lets be honest they probably have different delivery agents on certain days, maybe a high turnover of staff too. Also if you've driven somewhere a couple of times you wouldn't use SatNav so the same mistake would happen over and over again. Also could you not check with other publishers to see their figures for non delivery with newsteam if others have the same issues and similar percentages of non or missed deliveries, Then a united effort from say 10 publishers will carry more clout than 10 seperate complaints, which they can downplay as training issues etc. Only other way would be to offer 2 tier subscriptions if you wish to have Royal Mail delivery then you pay £X more per year, I bet if you had the figures upto end of 2019 missed/non deliveries were similar to Newsteam. Royal Mail delivery problems have only been a much bigger problem in the last year, we all know its an issue that should'nt happen but its been a funny old year
  17. He's booked in for a chat with Cameron and Hancock so all safety aspects can be ignored
  18. 6 man teams, every team has to drop their number 1
  19. If you're current contract is coming to an end, the time now, is to do your research and then say to TalkTalk,, if you're happy with their service, as i'm a valued customer do me a deal, I'm pretty sure a lot of providers allow you to subscribe/unsubscribe to certain channels via the website
  20. Couldnt you ask those who continually not get them delivered to send a photo of the front of their property to pinegen, who can forward to Newsteam so delivery person can see what the property looks like.
  21. Going by the profile name i'll have a guess at Woof Woof
  22. One of the BT packages includes Eurosport, so it might be worth checking the site out and asking in the online chat
  23. Phil i bet you simply cannot wait to login to this forum on a thursday
  24. Let's be honest a form of vaccine passport is going to come in Worldwide, all those protesting it's against their human rights etc really need to get a grip. What are they going to do when they want 2 weeks in Spain, spend a fortune on tests to prove they don't have covid to get into Spain then again to get back into the UK. This country needs to get ahead of the game, nobody allowed into the country unless they can prove they have been vaccinated, and as far as i'm concerned that's illegal immigrants as well. The Navy need to be rounding up these dinghies and taking them straight back to Europe. We have spent so much time locked down to protect the NHS from being overrun with patients who need ICU care, we have to protect and concentrate on the UK population who have suffered for the last year and whose descendents will be paying for it long after we are gone. Once things have calmed down in a year or two, then those immigrants can chance their arm on coming here and joining our wonderful diverse and cosmopolitan bunch of people that put the Great in Britain All this worldwide panic for an infection which is as infectious as flu and probably actually kills less than flu
