Triple.H. Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 About 11am There's normally a programme fair in the rugby club next door too though they sell lots of other memorabilia too as I understand it. Or go to one of the many pubs like loads of us and meet up with old acquaintances and meet some new ones. We're a friendly bunch though at times you might think you're in the bar in star wars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severnsider Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 There is also the fan zone which would start at a similar time. In the past couple of years this has been right in front of the bus station which is in front of the railway station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past couple of years this has been right in front of the bus station which is in front of the railway station. I can't imagine the fan zone being in the Wood Street area this year. What used to be the bus station is completely fenced off and awaiting/undergoing redevelopment. Come to think of it, there's not a suitable area in the city centre which could realistically accommodate the fan zone, unless they get permission to put it in one of the parks.

severnsider Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 In many ways the obvious location would be at Cardiff RFC as part of reasoning for artificial pitch is to get greater use of the site. Not sure they would want to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'M told the Fanzone will be by City Hall ... perhaps our local posters can elaborate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndBender Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'M told the Fanzone will be by City Hall ... perhaps our local posters can elaborate Right hand side of the castle as you're facing it, 150m or so up North Road and just on the right. Makes sense really. They have a temporary ice rink and ferris wheel there around Christmas time. Still only 10 mins walk to the stadium.

OveFundinFan Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Looks like it may be 4 times the distance that the railway station is, so not too far away, and it will be a pleasant walk as you walk past the castle/grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distance wise it's probably pretty irrelevant if you're walking from the 1st/2nd bend. It's more the fact it's out of the way. It's the only thing you'd head that way for. It's not by the buses, trains, pubs or shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 What was wrong with it in the street running parallel with the stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Been there for the last 3 GP's, the atophere is great and there nothing like watching it live. However we staying at home this year, doing the SWC at BV instead plus going away for a few days to Yorkshire with the money saved not going to Cardiff. Will still see it on BT Sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 HAVE enquired of Ole Olsen whether there is sufficient room at the Principality Stadium to replicate the Warsaw track but sadly there isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
