CrystalCastles Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) The Fen Tigers will be making the trip to QM on Monday the 30th of May. Should be a cracker, weather permitting. We should have enough to win this i feel, but if its as entertaining as the IOW match should be a cracker. Hoping Mattie Bates builds on his last QM performance, where he was simply sensational. JWW hopefully will be fully focused and put in a good performance for us. Any Fen Tiges fans making the trip down?

Halifaxtiger Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Weather permitting, I am coming and then having a mad dash up to Coventry in the evening. Main Man tells me its only about an hour and a half between the tracks, but that's driving at his speed so its a good two and a half for the rest of us .

SCB Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Main Man tells me its only about an hour and a half between the tracks, but that's driving at his speed so its a good two and a half for the rest of us . As someone who has many times driven from Coventry to Newport (and vice versa) I can confirm if you put your foot down it's 90 minutes. More realistically you're looking at another 15 minutes on top of that and if you're my parents it's 2 hours. I'd certainly never bank on doing it in 90 minutes though!

Thanks 2 and a half hours for me I have heard how Main Man drives so I knew 90 minutes would be a push.

BigFatDave Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Thanks 2 and a half hours for me I have heard how Main Man drives so I knew 90 minutes would be a push. Main Man gave me a lift from Millenium Stadium to Queensway Meadows on the Friday of GP weekend after practice to watch the Mighty HORNETS and that took about 90 minutes; mind you in his defence it was peak hour in Cardiff when we left and they were digging up the M4 at the time.

He's a top man, Dave, and I have had a lot of time for him ever since we first met at Mildenhall in early 2007. As to his driving.......I saw him at Dudley last season and he was telling me about a race to get to Plymouth once. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be in the car with him on that occasion.

Halifaxtiger Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Regettably, the weather forecast has put me off coming. Its a long way for a rain off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long way for a rain off Judging by Saturday's 'rain-off', it will be in doubt if there's dew on the grass tomorrow morning....!

mummycaz Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 If anyone is up and about in or near Newport could you let us know what the weather is like. We are wanting to leave Suffolk around 8am and obviously dont want to travel if it looks like the meeting is to be off. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
