Fortythirtyeight Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Oh well, sign of the times, they have given up on Cardiff with it’s inflated prices and ever lowering crowd. So now we have two days at Belle Vue, hardly the same attraction but at least it’s a GP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noaksey Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Not a word about the thousands who have booked hotel rooms/travel etc If there was any doubt about the viability of the event why announce the date? Shambolic 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not they were selling Cardiff tickets for that, they have reduced their costs by more than half so why not ? But I agree they won’t and so I won’t be going Edited December 20 by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Boy Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Belle Vue grand stand seats will be at least £95. They have to be to cover the licence and additional costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaddlebowRoad Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 not ideal but ive thought for a while that cardiff had run its course as a gp however good the social side of the weekend was the sums not adding up isnt a surprise 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 No surprise about Cardiff IMO . Held on a dodgy made up track, in a difficult to reach location. Overpriced admission and outrageous catering charges. Extortionate hotel prices. Good riddance to the “principality” stadium. Even the circus appear to be on its a**e giving 2 rounds to Belle Vue. A track with limited spectator accommodation around the track. Weather permitting should be 2 home rounds for Bewdley to win. £25 a ticket sounds about right, maybe an extra fiver for a stand seat. Merry Christmas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter rubbish, their costs are a 1/4 of Cardiff, if they were selling Cardiff tickets for £20 then the CAN sell belle vue for that but they won’t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 (edited) So sad. It was a great social weekend, but we could see the decline in attendances, particularly on the Friday night. Fortunately we had booked our Travelodge on Flexible rate, so have already cancelled and been told that we get a full refund. Can't fault Travelodge & PayPal. Refund back in my account already!! 😀 Edited December 20 by Gambo Refund 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isnt a covered stadium, no guarantee it wont rain in June, Cardiff you can be certain it will be on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 (edited) At least fans will get to travel through the spectacle that is longsight not once but twice now, I know Wiktor Lampart was taken back by his first drive through there Edited December 20 by THE DEAN MACHINE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
