I did the Friday/Saturday nights with the family for the first four years or so then it beacme a nightmare for availabilty and the Hilton got so expensive. Really looking forward it - my only 'live' speedway of the year now................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 We always used to stay over Friday and Saturday nights as well, complete with the family pet Jemma who had a great time in Sophia Gardens on G.P. day, or playing on the grass near The Castle - until someone chucked her ball over the castle wall one year. (No, we've never forgotten that Scorpio!) Sunday was usually spent at Porthcawl and a thoroughly enjoyable weekend was had by all. Since getting the second dog though and trying to save a bit of money after retiring we've cut out the weekend stay and just travel on the Coventry coach. 8am start this year so we'll have to leave Leicester at the unearthly hour of 7.15am.

Strewth T.N.T. Do you usually manage on about 5 hours sleep? You will be nodding off half way through the Grand Prix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Very sorry to everyone but I've decided not to go to Cardiff, primarily because of the distance and the fact that I am working and have a long commute on Friday and Monday and could already do with more sleep than I currently get! I hope you all have a splendid time and see some great speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Leaving Coventry at about 5ish on the Thursday night, travelling to Newport via Swinond Speedway, have to find something to do to waste most of Friday before a trip over to Somerset in the evening, up early at about 9.30/10ish on GP day (it's a Saturday, anything pre-11.30 is early) and down to Cardiff with all the peasants on the bus and a train. Newport Speedway on the Sunday, planning a day out on the Monday before heading to Wolves vs Peterborough on the evening and then rolling into work on Tuesday morning for the 2 busiest days of the month while feeling like death. Then the count down begins for 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Will be setting off from leafy Royal Berkshire (ok, crappy Reading) around 9am Friday, heading straight (no service station stops) for Cardiff Airport to pick up HenryW, then get checked in to hotel and have a few beers before joining the Emmerdale bus to Somerset at 4pm, which considerately enough leaves from our hotel. Thanks to the Danish speedway addict that's coming over I've got to go to Swindon on Thursday night, Somerset, GP, then Newport on the Sunday. Life's tough sometimes. Looking forward to what should be a brilliant weekend. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main Man Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Looks like a morning start on Friday ---Cardiff first to pick up my key at my cousins (just round the corner from the Stadium!!) , change and head back to Newport for our National League encounter between the Hornets and Scunthorpe (7pm start). Back to Cardiff to meet up with friends over a glass of water or two. Saturday --lie in??? then brekkie and off for a walk round Cardiff and a few hostelries for a few more waters and in the stadium in time to watch the Under 15's and 250 lads (the main event!! ) , then the GP. I suppose a few more waters and a curry before retiring for the night. Up for brekkie --then off to Newport for the Welsh Open (1pm start). What a weekend!!
