Just back from Cardiff, whilst I enjoyed the weekend I still have a bitter taste in my mouth I spoke with a Taxi driver and he asked where you staying etc and I told him that the hotel prices were through the roof and he replied yes "I know mate thats how cardiff lost the rugby league big weekend and took it to Edinburgh" I know the organisers have tried to address this by bringing forward the start time to allow people to get out of Cardiff after the meeting,but you really want to stay in the city before and after the meeting I think they should start looking at an alternative venue as the guest houses are charging £100+ per night when events are on a bloody disgrace if you ask me Cardiff for me yesterday had the flattest atmosphere I have known there,the pre meeting entertainment was rubbish last year it was good,are they starting to take advantage as well I think if they could find another venue with plenty of accomodation at reasonable prices they could surpass crowds of 50,000 easily why do they not consider murrayfield or hampden or somewhere else for the european gp instead of always having 2 in Poland BACK TO THE SPEEDWAY what is this track reserve carry on all about if they are not going to have a chance to ride why are they there to start with? it may be an idea to allow the track reserves to ride in order to make all races have 4 riders the second semi was just a farce at least if they had allowed the reserves in then they wouldnt have felt like they had wasted their time CARDIFF ACCOMODATIONIS A RIP OFF SAD REALLY AS THE CITY,STADIUM AND ITS PEOPLE ARE FIRST CLASS EVEN IF IT IS A NIGHTMARE TO GET TO
