Haza Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Looks a complete mess to me is there time to knock the whole lot down and re-build ?they surely can't hold a SGP in this stadium - Wroclaw Bydgoszcz and Vojens has all lost SGP in recent years because the stadium wasn't up to standard none of those stadiums are the worlds best but they are all more than capable of holding a SGP as Bydgoszcz held a GP this year and Vojens are back in 2014 . The pictures of this stadium make the old Reading stadium look a plush venue . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart curtis Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Wow, perhaps i should have checked these pictures out before booking my hotel in Riga. Got a good deal though and I'm sure it will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 All that Koskenkorva is waiting for you to come and try my sauna... Cant even imagine (dont want to experience) how one would feel drinking Kossu in sauna... They tried drinking Vodka and bathing in a sauna in Germany a few weeks back and made headlines in Finland as well. No happy thoughts involved, I'm sticking to my original no-go attitude... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 What i read they didn't drink the vodka,they poured it onto the sauna and breathe in the vapours.Not a sauna expert,but in the news they said this was how some people get their kicks........????Turned out tragic in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Anyone in the know........is the Cardiff GP tapes up time confirmed yet? Fingers crossed for 1700. We've plans to stay in Bristol for a change from the decade or so in Cardiff and it's environs but no way to get there by train at 2230 if tapes up go back to the original 1900.

WILL enquire but I doubt whether it will go back to 19.00. More likely to stay at 18.00... Edited January 15, 2014 by PHILIPRISING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Track surface - crushed dolomite from Norway. color original (light green/blue) Good to see it's stacked in a scientifically designed pyramid shape, although I'm not sure in carefully monitored climate controlled conditions...

Joseq7 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 WILL enquire but I doubt whether it will go back to 19.00. More likely to stay at 18.00... I contacted SGP website again with this question and again no conformation. Surely they do know? Anyway I can't risk flight tickets going through the roof. I had wanted to stay in Bristol instead of South Wales where I've been for the last eleven years but couldn't take the risk of a 1900 start meaning I couldn't get a train to Bristol. Anyway Cardiff it is again and that's not a bad thing just fancied a wee change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 ONE change you will see in 2014 ... actual racing will start at four minutes past the hour rather than the 12 that has been the norm. Pre-meeting parade will start 10 minutes before the hour. Being done to try and ensure that broadcasters can include the whole of the presentation ceremony even if the meeting drags on for a few minutes longer than normal.

NeilWatson Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've just had an email from Seetickets offering me the following opportunity: Due to production changes, alternate seating has become available which is closer to the front of the block than your existing seating. We would therefore like to offer you the option to exchange your current seating to this alternate seating as a gesture of goodwill. As our tickets are booked in the front row of the middle tier, I can't wait to hear their suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
