Deano Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 SCB...airhorns are fine, it's just when there are about twenty of them in the open air...not a problem, but 30,000 in an enclosed stadium ........ . Great evening out though.......wish I was going now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Blue Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yes, Cardiff is a lot further from Workington that London (it's closer by a pretty negligable amount BTW) and the cost of hotels in affluent South Wales is a lot more than any hotel in London! NOT. I was thinking about direct train access to London and the greater choice of Hotels, which are snapped up very quickly at Cardiff. Having travelled all over the world i still think Cardiff is still a bummer to get to..............then again who would be a speedway rider up and down the motorways, flights, long airport waits............oh and jump on a bike and ride like a maniac!!

Addy Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Steve - Its Callaghans Irish Bar on the corner of Castle Street and the Millenium stadium walk and under the Holliday Inn, the beer garden is a sun trap, and would be perfect for a forum meet up, not forgetting its my birthday on June 3rd !<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey it's mine a few days before, Sean, the sheep, is also at the end of May ... let's have a birthday get together ... If my memory serves me right there are quite a few of us celebrating our continued survival around then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 It's also a week before a "special" birthday for Chivsy, so the first round will be on him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shalefan Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I'm taking my son and we will be going for the 1st time. Tried booking a travel lodge towards the end of last year in Cardiff and they were all fully booked then. Ended up with one in Swansea just up the road for the Saturday night. Do they operate the park and ride scheme as they do for the footie does anyone know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) im sure they do. Im sure there is signs on the M4 telling you Edited April 23, 2006 by jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yes, there's park and rides in Cardiff every weekend. Another option, would be to park in Newport, cross the road to the train station and get the train to Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 gonna be my first time to.... you all serve up a mouth watering view of the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 The feeling around Cardiff during the day as the atmosphere builds is amazing - seeing so many Speedway fans is just amazing and then when you get in the stadium and start time approaches... well for the first timers you quite simply will not have experienced anything like it - it's sending tingles up my spine just thinking about it. Bring your air-horns, your flags, your banners, dress up like a loon - do whatever you want and enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
