Libraries gave us power!! 'Knowledge is power' isn't that written over Cardiff library?

Where's best place to go before the game for a drink then? Is it Walkabout or summut not far from the ground and the station? Think that's where we went before the Yorkie match last season!

Yeah last year we went and got the train and there were enormous queues on the road. Mystique, who did the prematch entertainment (or tried atleast), they refused a police escort and arrived just before they were meant to perform, so late that they didn't have time to reherse. SO if you go by car I'd aim to get there for 10am!

Wow... there's four more Adlington Fans on top of our group of four!!!! That's the whole Bloody village!!!
If you want an easier time, Tyrers are running a coach, it's £30 each, but for those who hate driving it's a good investment!
I would chew of my arms and legs if it meant I could go, but I have just had a baby and she is a little demanding and a bit too sensitive for chants at the ref... especially if it is Ganson!
Instead, I will have to sit at home with the family and shout at the telly. My daughter will have her tiny rugby shirt on with pride!!!
I want you all to sing a little louder to make up for my silence.
By the way robjoenz... like the Manic Street Preachers reference...Libraries did give us power and if the Manics should stumble into the Millenium Stadium on that given day then I would be grateful if someone could ask whether they saw the bloke in Manchester (after the MEN Arena gig just over a year ago) being beaten (and I suspect killed) after their concert on the way to their hotel like I did.... oh it was gruesome, but the concert was fantastic!!!

Libraries did give us power, then work came and made us free. (Alas) what price now, for a shallow piece of dignity? Haha, Could be about Millward!

I was at that concert too, but I didn't see anyone getting beaten. I've seen them at the Millenium stadium too! Nicky Wire is a bit of a Warrington fan (cos of his name!), he was in league express a couple of years ago with Lee Briers.

Hello All,
Parking in Cardiff on the day will be a nightmare. I believe the park and ride is pretty good and is well signposted. Getting out of Cardiff will be a nightmare as well as the M4 has only 2 lanes just outside Cardiff. If you try and leave straight away you will end up in a traffic jam. And I mean JAM. Cracking idea of someone's to make it 2 lanes. Nevermind. If you fancy a drink before the game there are loads of pubs on St Mary's Street just a stones throw from the ground. Walkabout, Prince of Wales and Edward's are pretty good and will have a good atmosphere. Plenty of others dotted around as well.
