Apparently first bus is 1.30pm

8 minute drive from Etihad, sorry don't know what time it starts.

Yes easy, 201 bus goes from outside that hotel every 10 minutes, and takes just 11 minutes then 5 minutes walk down Kirkmanshulme lane. Use this link for all public transport planning in Manchester http://www.traveline-northwest.co.uk/journeyplanner/enterJourneyPlan.do

All tickets now sold on ticketing website for World Cup final! Not sure if the club has any of the premium seats left or not as they didn't show on website.

Just turn up

School is next door to stadium.

No standing sold out a while ago. Presume when it sells out there will be announcements on sgp website and Twitter etc saying don't turn up. There will be Friday tickets available, nothing been said yet if they going to be available on the day, presume they will.

Only 66 seats left now, could be sold out by end of today.

So it's ok for flag marshals to be putting red flag out when red lights not gone on?

No mention though of King's massive jump start that was so obvious the flag marshal on first bend put red flag out causing Cook to pull up. And Nicholls unfair exclusion when we had passed Woryna and then Woryna was leaning so far on him he was trying to get on Nicholls bike!

They were originally reserved only for people making restaurant bookings, some left over.

Great idea, can use this to get times and bus numbers etc http://www.traveline-northwest.co.uk/journeyplanner/enterJourneyPlan.do

The way you are going on you would think it was the day before the meeting and people are already travelling, it's 10 days away yet plenty of notice! Can you park outside Cardiff for £5, no, park & ride ride there is £8 and local car parks are £12-15. Manchester City Council are organising this and treating it as a major event in the city, you can't park at Etihad stadium for other events for £5.

Correct, no more been announced yet.

You will still be able to access hotel, road will be closed further up past greyhound stadium. You could get train but looking at timetable they seem to be every 2 hours at weekend? I'd get bus they are every few mins and will only take 10 mins

About 2 miles, not really Yes bus. Several buses you can get like 201,203, 204 that go down Hyde road, get off when you see Showcase cinema, very frequent every few minutes from Piccadilly.

Kirkmanshulme Lane will be closed to traffic and local residential streets will have temporary residents permit scheme. Wouldnt bother with Ryder brow trains very infrequent. Official parking will be at Etihad stadium with a shuttle bus system.

Where does the track equipment come from used at Cardiff? I haven't see the hydraulic rotating grader used at any other tracks?

10,000

Grandstand tickets have been sold out for weeks, standing on back straight and first bend also sold out. 903 seats (100 less then earlier in the week) available in temporary stand on 3rd/4th bend and standing available on 3rd/4th bend in front of stand.

Those grapes are so sour

Because the track is so wide, tapes are 15m wide so always going to have that slight problem. It doesn't affect anything as riders are looking towards the sides anyway.

You have to give it longer then that as first 4-5 heats are normally not great till dirt starts moving out. Record one of them!

Yep or just buy them on the day.

One of the cheapest actually at £17, £1 cheaper then Wolves, kids are free too up to 12 which they aren't at Wolves and plenty of free car parking about.
