Gemini Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Don't stand for too long or I'll be feeling sorry for you. Hope you didn't mind me saying where the original thread was. There hadn't been any posts in it since September anyway.....well until tonight when someone called packerman made a few comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 You want to do what I am going to check out, see if the cricket is on the radio, watch it till 4, go to the pub then speedway. Turn up the volume to max on the radio headphones and listen to it while watching the speedway. At the same time record the cricket, if on, and the speedway to watch any bits I miss. Hopefully best of both worlds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerald tyke Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 It may be that my brains cells are playing tricks on me but hasn't Cricket often been on in Cardiff on Gp day? I can defo remember seeing Ian Botham on tv at the gp think it may have been the first year 2001, when Cricket was being played there. Must say he was impressed by the track being laid in the Millennium Stadium though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st GP was held the same day as Australia V Pakistan at Sophia Gardens & I attended both the speedway & the cricket. To make going home harder some idiot on the transport department thought it might be an idea to shut one of the bores of the Newport tunnel. The difference being on this event is that it will be going on all day with about 20,000 or so attending from around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossi Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 How close is cricket ground to city centre ? Just thinking about parking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 How close is cricket ground to city centre ? Just thinking about parking? Pretty close. Certainly well within walking distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 How close is cricket ground to city centre ? Just thinking about parking? If you look up Cardiff map city centre, it will show you.The cricket ground is the SWALEC stadium about one mile north of the Millennium Stadium. I believe there is a park and ride but do not know the cost or the park and ride location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is a park and ride but do not know the cost or the park and ride location There is a Park & Ride east of the city off the A48. It is £3 per car for as long as you want (can even leave it overnight if you inform the staff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
