Cardiff Weather


Recommended Posts

Typical that every year Cardiff has been on the same weekend and the weather has been really nice even thought the stadium has a roof, they put it back 2 weeks this year and the weather looks pretty terrible. Obviously its not going to affect the GP with the roof but is going to make it pretty miserable during the day getting round etc socialising.

I fully expect it to be fair to tiddly in the pub, with a few foggy intervals later on depending on the amount of moisture consumed. There's a chance of lightning if any Wolves / Swindon or Poole / Coventry fans happen to collide, but the day will have a glorious ending when the Clean One takes the chequered flag in the Final, leading inevitably to a sudden dramatic shower of champagne. :D

 

There is also clearly the risk of wind, thunder and even a full moon on the coach on the way home... :o

:P

Seb, a bit of a mix up with the winner tho. Never seen Hans or Nicki called the clean one before!  :wink:

Very true, but then again, they haven't been Australian Champion 9 times either have they? :P

 

To be honest, as it's on a temporary track it could be anyone's meeting. I don't think that Leigh or Nicki even made the semis last year, did they? :unsure:

I know the stadium has a roof but I was wondering about the shale. Where does it come from? Maybe its a soggy mush already with all the rain we've had.

As the track is made up over a week or so, hopefully they've been sensible and kept the roof closed as much as possible.

 

Looks like we'll still have a really soggy start line though, 'cos I believe they have to have the roof open a bit for ventilation when they have bikes.

 

I don't care if it's soggy during the day - I'll be nice and dry in the stadium from 5pm on wards, chatting with me mates and having a laugh. :approve:

Are you going to pop along to the PoW Bobbin to say hello?

Mr Bobbin' and I may very well do that. Where abouts is it again? We normally frequent the City Arms pub right outside the stadium. And how would we recognise any of you (except Shazzybird, obviously...) ;)

For fear of opening this up for the normal negative comments -

 

A group of us will be wearing our pink cowboy hats and of course SCB will have a Cardiff special T shirt on. :D

We can then point out one or two other members!! :D

Its the Weatherspoons opposite the road to the stadium, next door to Boots the Chemist. If its nice we'll be stood outside!! I think the pink cowboy hats might be a giveaway to where we are.

I might just sneak in, see if you all look friendly/drunk and sneak back out again! I'll be the one with the brolly... ;) See you there then!

 

EDIT: And if you've ever met Lupus - think brunette version! I'm quite difficult to miss.. ;)

Your first bit just made me laugh.

I would have tapped everyone in Cardiff on the shoulder (cause they will all have brollies)and asked if they were BA util your second bit - I now Lupus so have something to go on now!!!!

 

The forecast hasn't got any better rain and loads of it.

 

Where's 21stCH when you need him?

Sorry - even 21st cant make this forecast sound any better at the moment.

But remember the British weather has a way of suprising us!!! Could go through in the morning leaving a lovely afternoon (okay - in my dreams!!) :D

 

 

 

 

EDIT - Just been looking at the charts and there is an outside chance we could get actually get a gap in the afternoon, bit of rain early evening and then the front will be through. I am actually a little more optimistic than an hour ago, when I hadnt seen the charts :D

 

But then Im no 21st!

Mental picture there of you speaking to everyone under a brolly. I would have given you a hint - mine has Tigger on it. Should narrow it down a bit....

 

You know Lupus? Blimey. She always calls me her dark half, but of course, I'm much, much better looking. Oops - said that out loud didn't I.? <runs away> <runs away very fast...>
