M08 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Lets hope for better weather. It makes meeting and greeting a little easier and the walk back from th stadium a little drier!!!!! True - the weather last year was rubbish. We got soaked coming out of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarsy63 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Staying at The Penyrheol Guest House, Newport Road, Rumney, Cardiff (anyone heard of it) about 15 mins bus ride from Cardiff Central, travelling down by National Express Coach early Saturday morning to guest house about 11:30 straight back to Cardiff about 1:00 really looking forward to the day. Seats are in L15 on the 4th bend, do you get a good view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) 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? Just look for a bunch of freaks and misfits, avoid them and cme and say hi to us normal people Or just walk up to someone outside the POW and aks "are you on the BSF?", if you get an odd look pretend to be drunk, if not, you've found us (or someone else equally as lost). Staying at The Penyrheol Guest House, Newport Road, Rumney, Cardiff (anyone heard of it) about 15 mins bus ride from Cardiff Central, travelling down by National Express Coach early Saturday morning to guest house about 11:30 straight back to Cardiff about 1:00 really looking forward to the day. Seats are in L15 on the 4th bend, do you get a good view? There many worse places to stay. It's less than 15 minutes on the bus too I'm guessing, even if the bus stops at every stop. Once you're at the bus station you're a 2 minute walk from Burger King, a further 2 minute walk fomr the POW which has a handily places bookies in the outside corner and then a 2 minute walk to the stadium. Perfect and for those that don't ahve tickets, you wlak past a ticket office on your way from the POW to the stadium any way. 6 weeks left Anyone want to go to the PL Pairs at Somerset from Cardiff? If so, let me know here Edited May 19, 2008 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 About 10.45/11pm. am living with parents as separated from the missus and just wondering whether tickets been sent out or not. Can't remember if my tickets at home or they not arrived yet. Please someone set my mind at ease! Tickets are not normally sent out until a couple of weeks before the G.P. If they haven't arrived by the 27th of June start worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
