ShadowCaptain Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 If the strike does go ahead, apart from any disruption for the GP, it is going to pose both financial and logistical problems for the ECB and Glamorgan if cricket fans cannot get to the England v South Africa game. Glamorgan, in particular, could not afford another cricketing problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Just make sure you have £6 in cash to stick in the coin bins. Stupid strikers, they go on strike and all they'll do is make people use the coin bins and prove there is no need for humans, so they get made redundant. I seriously wonder about some people at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pere Ubon Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) From what I understand even if the tolls were fully automated, some human supervision is required to cope with any mechanical issues that might arise. Given that I think it likely that the tolls might be suspended. If this is the case the workers should not back down, as they will have the full support of the motoring community.

Daniel Smith Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 If they dont like their job then leave, im certain it aint a prison sentence. Im sure there are a few people who will apply for the jobs. I blame the self interest unions. They don't give a poo about their members, just the money they take off the gullible idiots. Protests these days are free advertising of the union. On picket lines now all you see on signs with massive letter now is GMB / TUC etc with no space for the arguing protest message 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4speedway Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Does anyone regularly get a parking pass for the SGP at Millennium Stadium or has been allocated one in the last few years? I had a parking pass for the Millennium Stadium in 2007 and it took about 2 hours before we were allowed to get out of the car park after the meeting. I haven't had one since but I have been allocated one this year and I wonder if it is still the same situation with getting out of the car park? I would be grateful for any responses from those that have had experience of parking in the Millennium Stadium for the Grand Prix from 2007 onwards? Many thanks PS this is my first time using the forum so I'm not sure if I've put this in the correct topic area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RP If coming from the south the only way to avoid the bridges is to go via Gloucester and down to Chepstow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerald tyke Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Go across the M50 and pay the Welsh F**k all This problem doesnt arise for me either as I'm coming from the Fishguard ferry but it will affect some poor folk especially from South/London area which more than likely travel the M4 and cross the bridges. Think this may have been averted now though haven't looked on the internet for updates lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerald tyke Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 When you say Millennium Stadium parking do you mean actually in under the stadium or at the rugby club grounds on corner near Angel Hotel?? The car park (at corner across from Angel hotel, where you also pick up ordered tickets if not received in post) costs about £5 (or maybe free if you have a pass and its this car park) but I would imagine there would be fair delays there turning left and then right out of there to go around Castle as that road is probably closed for certain length of time before and after meeting. Also their other exit by Main Entrance I would imagine is the same scenario, as its on the same road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 It has been announced on the news this evening that the Planned strike of staff who work at the toll booths on the Severn Bridges has been suspended therefore the bridges will be open on Friday and Saturday. I would still check before you leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
