Haza 1,774 Posted July 10, 2016 Horsens confirmed 24th June so I wouldn't think you are far out with that date . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 545 Posted July 10, 2016 Someone posted on a Facebook page that seems about right for the date as apparently lots of hotels in Cardiff are showing as full already . How much truth there is in that don't know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solrac 313 Posted July 10, 2016 Someone posted on a Facebook page that seems about right for the date as apparently lots of hotels in Cardiff are showing as full already . How much truth there is in that don't know Hotel prices have indeed been rocketing for that date and, considering that's what happens most years it would be a fair shout to say that is most likely. My IT-savvy 'er indoors has been working like a demon on this so think we'really covered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 545 Posted July 10, 2016 Does look like the likely weekend that date . Sat in the hotel bar this morning and took the plunge 3 nights at the ibis hotel Cardiff centre £148.00 for me and wifey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pointsmeanplayoffs 417 Posted July 11, 2016 When they have signed a new contract I would think- ran out in 2016 With Cardiff? Torben Olsen said on Saturday that there is no chance of them taking a SGP away from Cardiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,723 Posted July 11, 2016 With Cardiff? Torben Olsen said on Saturday that there is no chance of them taking a SGP away from Cardiff. Yes Cardiff- He said that and I have no reason to think there won`t be a new contract- however I`m pretty certain the last contract had Welsh tourist board money included- so until the contract is agreed and signed no date for 2017- and they must still be negotiating because they would have not been slow in announcing the new contract.

We were talking to the manager in our hotel and he seems to think from emails they have had, that the preferred date is the the 8th July but there are some queries around some Wales football matched planned for dates around then.

SGP 49 Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Why would Sky talk up an event they don't televise & screened by their rivals? LOOKS like not happening now anyway, however, there is no reason why they can't mention it. They aren't promoting a rival channel, more that the event is on. They mention many SGPs without issue. Plus, remember tonight's meeting isn't just seen in the UK. Edited July 11, 2016 by SGP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
