M08 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi all, this will be my first GP and i will be there with the wife and 2 boys (13) & (16). Can anyone tell me where would be the best place to have a bit of food and a few beers before the GP starts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. There's everything, Scarsy. Nearest food outlets are KFC and Subway I believe, and as SCB mentioned the Price of Wales is where most members go to have a beer or twenty.

beesboybert Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Can even eat in the prince of wales like we have done the last few years. It'd be wise to get there for opening time if you wanted to do that though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Isn't Cardiff just the best Certainly is Trees, even you admitted you had a good time last year!!! We were told when we left our hotel the rooms this year would be £150.00 per night the room sleeps 4 split that up not so dear afterall, that's the joys of wanting a good hotel with good company, if you don't want to pay that price shop around the Premier hold their price I believe and so does the one across the road from ours, cheap and cheerful basic room if that's all you want. Almost everywhere in Cardiff the prices go up when there is an event on at the Stadium regardless of what it is, they are there to make money they have the monopoly if you want to stay you have to pay, or drive there and back same day .... never again for us my Dad fell asleep at the wheel on the way home once (could of wiped out three generations) and I said then no matter what the cost I was staying with my family at a hotel. I don't care what it costs I love it where we are. It's good company, excellent hotel, staff are the best in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auntie Shazzy - does this include us??? And yes - agree with the Bird. Lovely hotel, very welcoming, very accomodating. And not over pricy for 4 people.

Only got into speedway by watching the bears last season and watching the GP's on TV and now I'm absolutely hooked!!! Roll on june! Redcar Bear - Its a great trip. Cardiff was actually my first full speedway meeting I actually saw!! My daughter wanted to go but I didnt want her going alone so went with her. I'm hooked and now travel to Eurpore for foreign GP tours as well. I'm going to Cardiff!! ...as Forum folk seem (as has been said on here) to meet at the Prince of Wales in Queen Street, if I arrive there how will I know you all? Perhaps you could all wear a red rose and hold a copy of the Daily Telegraph? All you need to do is find Krissie. She will grab your arm and give you a whirlwind tour of every forum member there!!! I think I remember about 5 of the 500 she introduced me to. Since then I have met people again been reminded of those days!!! Exchange numbers with a few people you identify with on here and the whole thing will jus snowball. You send me yours and I will send you mine!!!! (Saints Fan unite!!)

Nevs Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 We are really looking forward to it,first speedway of the season for us and meeting up with friends from over the years that we no longer get to see on a regular basis. Remember last year and I thought I think it is-but Im not 100% certain and went up to a bloke in the Prince of Wales and said Hi-Liontamer arent you? Luckily it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
