I work in Cardiff and see all the events in the stadium, due to my work place being next door. This is by far the best event and this comes from a huge football fan.
I book my holiday from work as soon as the dates are out. My father gets the tickets and its set a year to lok forward to it all. He will travel from Essex on the friday day, and get to my house in time to go to Newport that evening. The wekend has started. GP on the Sat, which may I ad gets better each year. Then Newport for the welsh open on sun.
The whole city is a different place when GP is in town. The pubs are better, the town its self is better.
Some great place to make a day of it. Some of my best are;
Edwards on St Marys street
The newly opened Havana bar Millenium Plaza by gate six.
Old Orleans just off St Marys street.
The bay is nice and with the weather to go you can have a great time, but enjoy the main town. There is no place better on GP day.
All the traveling fans please take care and see you all there.
