a4poster Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Does anyone know when a definite decision will be made on Cardiff GP taking place? I see it is now set to be the opening GP of the series. I also note it hasn’t been advertised in the Speedway Star of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Had an email from Premier Inn earlier, not that i have booked with them for Cardiff weekend, They have now done away with their No Refund/Changes booking terms and now have 3 options Flex. Semi Flex and advance. Anyone with a booking on a Non Flex booking will be automatically changed to advance. This gives the option of cancellation upto 28 days beforehand and booking can be amended upto 1pm on day of arrival. Semi Flex gives option to cancel upto 3 days before and can be amended upto 1pm on arrival day. Flex can be cancelled or amended upto 1pm on day of arrival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the way of the world. Anywhere you go if there's a big event on prices rise. This year we booked to stay at the University again, we have stayed in numerous hotels in Cardiff in the early years and got fed up with the rip off prices, obviously at this time i don't know how we stand regarding refunds or maybe rolling the booking over to next year. Lets be honest there isn't going to be a GP in Cardiff in July unless there's some radical change in circumstances in the next 2-3 weeks. We've stayed at the university for a fair few years now, it's basic but clean and handy for getting into the City Centre. At the end of the day we're a group of blokes so it suits us down to the ground. Last year we went down the Air BnB route and we paid around £80 each and to be fair it was a nice place in Penarth and the locals in the pub around the corner gave us good advice on getting into the City Centre quickly and cheaply. We only stay in Cardiff on the saturday nowadays as make a weekend of it by going to the Pairs on the friday night and staying in the Vegas of the West, Burnham on Sea on the friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't this year, I booked with a cancellation option as soon as it was announced they tried to charge me up front and when I complained they agreed I had booked before they changed their conditions and I got a refund and I cancel free of charge once it has been cancelled officialy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff university website has an accomodation section, you contact them through this and they email you the link for booking, Cheapest rooms are shared bathroom for a couple of quid more you get ensuite Heather12 i've PM'd you . If you still follow an active team or TBH an inactive one i can pretty much bet that you know someone who stays there or has stayed there. I booked for 18 people back in 2013 and we bumped into another 20 odd from Oxford staying on the same campus Edited May 10, 2020 by Triple.H.

uk_martin Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 As at 19/05/2020, tickets are still on sale, via the SGP web site, so by all accounts, everything is just fine and dandy, so what's everyone in a flap about? https://speedwaygp2020.seetickets.com/event/2020-adrian-flux-british-fim-speedway-grand-prix/cardiff/1435110?utm_source=Direct&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=Cardiff_SGP_2020&utm_content=23092019_BRITSIHSGP_BUYTICKETS It's going to be great. Don't miss it. No brakes, no fear and all that. Have a great day out in Cardiff. Always assuming that the Heddlu (Welsh Police) actually allow you to cross the border into their country. And with Ryanair cancelling all flights to and from the continent until August, there won't be any of them pesky Poles, or drunken Danes, or spaced-out Swedes there. The Welsh can have the stadium to themselves. That should make social distancing easier, isn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very interesting that they are still continuing to sell tickets for an event that has already been cancelled with the WRFU for July. Further evidence today with Welsh FA finishing all league football as no crowds going to be allowed in Wales until September. I don’t think anybody knows why BSI do not want to formally cancel this the only assumption that can be made is that they are trying to make decisions about the whole series for 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the Welsh government definitely said no crowds at sporting events. No expert on Welsh football but do they get a crowd worth talking about at matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho3a Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I see this was announced yesterday : German metal band Rammstein have announced a new date for their huge Cardiff gig. The band were due to perform at the Principality Stadium on June 14 but recently cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic However, the band have confirmed that a new date in Cardiff has now been arranged. You'll be able to go and see them on June 16, 2021 Has anyone spoke to ticketmaster or see tickets to see when tickets will be sent, Im sure they must be aware as they wont print and send tickets ??

topaz325 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Noticed some hotels in Cardiff not taking bookings for June but can still book for July so "they " are taking one step at a time.
