We were on the bottom tier and the sound was very good but we have speakers on the floor right in front of us and extra speakers just above our heads under the middle teir if you are on the middle and top teirs you are having to rely on just the big speakers on the roof of the stadium and can imagine the sound being poor.
The entertainment wasn't my cup of tea but though it was no way the worst they have had at Cardiff over the year.
One thing I was dissappointed in though was the parade, it was crap, riders coming out one by one with no introduction over the PA. The best parade by far was last year with the jeeps and A team theme.
Yesterday the Daily Mirror had an interview with Chris Harris and pic in a column down one side of a page yesterday but today has absolutly nothing in it about his win! At first I thought there was as there was, a headline Cardiff goes Bananas, only to read that it's about Cardiff football club!
Any decent coverage in any of the other papers today?
We've been every year and never had bags searched, we've taken bottles of coke and snacks in with us as the prices are rip off inside. Maybe because we get there early and queue to get in so they don't bother checking bags when lots of people trying to get in at same time.
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.

If you want to know a brilliant place to park your minibus for £2 for the day within 5 mins walk of the stadium PM me and I'll tell you.
We've parked our mini bus in this place for the last 5 years and it's been great. No offence to others but not going to put it in public on here as more and more people are finding this place each year and don't want to get there and find we can't park
Yes there seems to be quite a few people going off here as its so cheap to get to.
You can fly to Dusseldorf or Dortmund both not far from Gelsenkirchen, lots of budget airlines fly there.
Have a look here http://www.skyscanner.net very good website for finding the cheapest flights.
We are flying from Luton to Dusseldorf with Air Berlin, got it for £42 each.
I know this is a bit late but that is a load of rubbish they told you, we had a similar scenerio, someone extra wanted to join us after we had booked, I rang them up gave them the booking number and managed to get a seat 2 rows directly behind us.
German GP has to be the easiest and cheapest one to get to, with a number of airports close by and lots of budget airlines flying to them to choose from. We got Air Berlin from Luton to Dusseldorf for £42 each.
