Premier League 4's

[ancient mariner 540]

Including that awful band outside the bar on the first bend.

 

Missus very much wants to go, but I'm not overly keen. Seems a long drawn out day, especially when you plan to stay sober and camping? Forget it!!

 

What? Surely one or the other, but not both!

Absolutely detest camping. I'd rather sleep in the car than share a camp site with a load of drunks

So how many races in each event? And the only thing happening on the Saturday is the semi finals?

Quite looking forward to this, but going more in hope than expectation. Its a weekend away, which is always a bonus.

I'm guessing on Saturday it's 3 x Semi's 12 heats each = 36

On Sunday, assume it's a 20 heat Individual with a 16 heat 4's final to follow....

Still in two minds...the two hour wait between meets on the Sunday is putting me off at the min.....

I'm going just that I didn't want to get there to early or late. I would like to sit in the stand if possible, but I don't want to get too early if I can help it to just sit around for hours

As I am camping over the weekend I intend to take a leaf out of the Germans holiday rule book and lay a towel over my seat in the stand......

[Baldyman 6,243]

I would imagine a few will be doing that and the ones getting there early for the football.

So was I until I saw the Diamonds team!!! :rofl:

[thrillpool 67]

I'm looking forward to attending the Sunday session of this marathon of speedway. I'm going to take an overnight bag as I expect we'll probably be only getting around to the fourth re-run of heat 87 by 2am.

 

However, what excites me the most, is the opportunity to enjoy some superb speedway action whilst playing Pokemon Go in a great atmosphere.

A bit like Cardiff, but with more drinking time.

 

Not sure how good my camping skills will be
