A Great Weekend

[Young Saint 0]

Hi all, I hope you will all be here for another fun packed weekend. The weather on the local news has said a good weekend's weather.

 

Speedway all weekend who could ask for a better life. Take care on the way down and use the park and ride system as the car park prices in Cardiff we set you back a second mortgage. The park and ride at leckworth is very good. Just follow the signs for Cardiff City football ground.

 

I hope you all have a good journey down here and enjoy the weekend. The Havana Bar in the Millenium Plaza is very nice for food and there is a coffee shop there to. Its right by gate 6 and 7.

 

Well off now so see you all here.

Really looking forward to the trip, leaving at 7am tomorrow morning for my first ever trip to see a GP and indeed apart from a police escorted trip to Ninian Park my first trip into Cardiff

We'll be there too as I said on the GP forum. Can't wait! Only one day left!! :-D We're getting the bus from Brandon at 8.30am and should be getting there around midday. Really can't wait, we went last year and it was so amazing!!

Why so early we arent leaving till 10am and thats because we are going Cardiff Bay. Normally we leave at 12 or 1pm and we from Leicester.

I work in Cardiff and see all the events in the stadium, due to my work place being next door. This is by far the best event and this comes from a huge football fan.

 

I book my holiday from work as soon as the dates are out. My father gets the tickets and its set a year to lok forward to it all. He will travel from Essex on the friday day, and get to my house in time to go to Newport that evening. The wekend has started. GP on the Sat, which may I ad gets better each year. Then Newport for the welsh open on sun.

 

The whole city is a different place when GP is in town. The pubs are better, the town its self is better.

 

Some great place to make a day of it. Some of my best are;

Edwards on St Marys street

The newly opened Havana bar Millenium Plaza by gate six.

Old Orleans just off St Marys street.

 

The bay is nice and with the weather to go you can have a great time, but enjoy the main town. There is no place better on GP day.

 

All the traveling fans please take care and see you all there.

The atmosphere is far more relaxed and friendly on GP weekend.

 

Although I've only seen violence at 1 game in Cardiff (excluding Cardiff City matches!) there is always an air of tension I find.

 

Except when Wales played Poland - I guess Polish sports fans in general are just great!

At the new home of Newport Cycle Speedway Club in the Spytty International Sports Village (around a mile from Newport Speedway) the European Veterans and Super Veterans GP series is taking place at 12 noon and 2pm respectively on Saturday, leaving you plenty of time to get into Cardiff.

 

A big crowd and free admission should make this the perfect preperation for the GP in the night. Refreshments and a Matchday Magazine will also be available.

Message to hazzman, yeah, as kirsty said, we're getting there at midday because then you have a few hours to wander around, get souvenirs, have a drink see the city, meet up with people, etc. Plus that's just the time the bus leaves the stadium, anyone else going on the BOSS coaches from Brandon are going at the same time.

Should be a great weekend, (albeit an expensive one !)

 

Cardiff on Saturday, day and night...Rye House for Sunday afternoon...Swindon for Sunday night.

 

Sweet...
