Bert Harkins 27 Posted May 7, 2011 must of been 3 out of 40000 then. it was dreadful. Thanks for your sarcastic reply, just loosen up and try to enjoy whatever pre-meeting enertainment is on offer as it doesn't cost any of us any extra and there is still the GP to look forward to.

I agree Haggis. When I went - I enjoyed just walking around the City. The area of the Stadium was entertainment enough in itself. Pubs, Streets full of Flags, Noise and general bustle of folk enjoying themselves. Inside the Stadium - I thought the entertainment was OK too - especially as it was free.

robert72 845 Posted May 7, 2011 must of been 3 out of 40000 then. it was dreadful. I and those who were sat all around me said the same the royal navy was dreadful, even worse than the x factor wannabees and that is saying something. They need to bring in someone with a massive following to entertain, it would pay for itself and fill the stadium alot more, i am not talking,take that,kylie but some 80s bands have massive support and are in a decent price brackett.

ImpartialOne 160 Posted May 8, 2011 I've never watched the pre meeting entertainment. As others have said, I stay in the pubs until 5 minutes before the meeting. Last year the fanzone was excellent and gave those who don't want to be in bars something to see all day. Wouldn't have been quite the same had it been raining though. To me the fanzone and the bars and restaurants were all the pre meeting entertainment you could want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,096 Posted May 11, 2011 I don't think the pre meeting entertainment makes any difference to the crowd levels,so personally i just accept whatever it is and like many others stay in the pub if its not my cup of tea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickthemuppet 976 Posted May 11, 2011 The upside of Cardiff for me is that everything's so handy - the railway station; my hotel; the Walkabout and the Stadium are all within 5 minutes walk - heaven on a stick! The pre-match entertainment is in the Pub; I've got no desire to be wandering the wilds of West London. I think you might find there is slightly more to do and see within 5 miles of the Wembley stadium than there ever will be at Cardiff. Plus Ealing Road Wembley the shops are open until midnight. Wembley Park station is across the road from the stadium ,it cannot get much handier than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leave the Grand Prix where it is - in Cardiff. London has far too many 'goodies' as it is - as opposed to anywhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chesilmaster 2 Posted May 13, 2011 Leave the Grand Prix where it is - in Cardiff. London has far too many 'goodies' as it is - as opposed to anywhere else. I for one, would love to see the 2012 European GP being held in the new Olympic stadium London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P T Preece 262 Posted May 17, 2011 Back in the old days of one off world finals,one of the German finals, I think it was Munich, they had the local police motorcycle team doing a display this was one of the best things I have ever seen at a speedway event.

Probably H&S, like they got rid of the Field Gun Teams at the Royal Tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
