Phil 302 Posted May 20, 2003 Did anyone manage to get a drink after the GP finished last year? Or did you fly of either back home or the hotel as soon as it finished. We tried a few places but they said they were closing and would not let you in. e.g Prince of Wales. Did the GP finish about 11:00pm last year! Decided to head back to the hotel and went for a curry just across the road from our hotel. We managed to get a bus back but it was the last one and nearly missed it as the Bus Station was closed. Thankfully a local supporter showed about a dozen of us the way to the bus stop. Did people find it hard getting a taxi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
born_2b_mad 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Managed to find a bar, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it, we left it at about 1.30am. Managed to book a taxi ok. Got back to the service station at around 2am. Met up with a couple of Coventry fans (ex Leicester) in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Addy 1 Posted May 27, 2003 I got a steak and a drink - just off St Mary's. Nice place. All the re-run video people were there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
