Rob B 1,257 Posted June 27, 2007 Typical that every year Cardiff has been on the same weekend and the weather has been really nice even thought the stadium has a roof, they put it back 2 weeks this year and the weather looks pretty terrible. Obviously its not going to affect the GP with the roof but is going to make it pretty miserable during the day getting round etc socialising. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7days....zipcode=Cardiff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted June 27, 2007 In all honesty it's what you make of the weekend .......... 2 more sleeps and can't wait! Just wont be the same without Suzieq there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seb the Snail 22 Posted June 27, 2007 I fully expect it to be fair to tiddly in the pub, with a few foggy intervals later on depending on the amount of moisture consumed. There's a chance of lightning if any Wolves / Swindon or Poole / Coventry fans happen to collide, but the day will have a glorious ending when the Clean One takes the chequered flag in the Final, leading inevitably to a sudden dramatic shower of champagne. There is also clearly the risk of wind, thunder and even a full moon on the coach on the way home... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
London Witch 57 Posted June 27, 2007 even a full moon on the coach on the way home... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which follows on nicely to the Hans Andersen Experience thread I've just been reading!! Seb, a bit of a mix up with the winner tho. Never seen Hans or Nicki called the clean one before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never seen Hans or Nicki called the clean one before! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very true, but then again, they haven't been Australian Champion 9 times either have they? To be honest, as it's on a temporary track it could be anyone's meeting. I don't think that Leigh or Nicki even made the semis last year, did they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanne 0 Posted June 27, 2007 I know the stadium has a roof but I was wondering about the shale. Where does it come from? Maybe its a soggy mush already with all the rain we've had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazzman 72 Posted June 27, 2007 I know the stadium has a roof but I was wondering about the shale. Where does it come from? Maybe its a soggy mush already with all the rain we've had. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's stored in a warehouse and then brought in a week before. The forecast shows Heavy Rain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbin' Along 5 Posted June 27, 2007 As the track is made up over a week or so, hopefully they've been sensible and kept the roof closed as much as possible. Looks like we'll still have a really soggy start line though, 'cos I believe they have to have the roof open a bit for ventilation when they have bikes. I don't care if it's soggy during the day - I'll be nice and dry in the stadium from 5pm on wards, chatting with me mates and having a laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbin' Along 5 Posted June 27, 2007 Are you going to pop along to the PoW Bobbin to say hello? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mr Bobbin' and I may very well do that. Where abouts is it again? We normally frequent the City Arms pub right outside the stadium. And how would we recognise any of you (except Shazzybird, obviously...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazysue 613 Posted June 27, 2007 Coventry Fairies will have pink cowboy hats on..... I will have a T shirt with my name on it..... Errrrr.....not sure about others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And how would we recognise any of you (except Shazzybird, obviously...) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For fear of opening this up for the normal negative comments - A group of us will be wearing our pink cowboy hats and of course SCB will have a Cardiff special T shirt on. We can then point out one or two other members!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
London Witch 57 Posted June 27, 2007 Its the Weatherspoons opposite the road to the stadium, next door to Boots the Chemist. If its nice we'll be stood outside!! I think the pink cowboy hats might be a giveaway to where we are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
