Millenium Stadium Signage

Sam will certainly rant more about this. We went to see U2 last night in Cardiff. Rather naively, we left 2 hours to get to the Park and Ride in Cardiff, assuming we had a chance to get to see both support acts. Actually, no chance. You are directed off the motorway at Junction 33 but then there are no more signs at all. We ended up in the City Centre just as the Race for Life was going on - people thronging the streets. We finally got to one of the Park and Ride sites, but it apeared to be a gypsy encampment, so we drove back into the City Centre. Several traffic wardens later, none of whom knew the way to the County Hall P&R, we found the alternative parking site at 7 o'clock. Bear in mind we left home at 2:30!!!

As we got there, the car park closed. I, along with a good few hundred others, just abandoned my car on the grass verges. We reasoned that Cardiff doesn't have enough wheel clamps for everyone! Got to the gig at about 7:45.

When we went to the Tsunami relieff concert, the parking was brilliant, everything ran very smoothly. There could not have been more people. There were 3 not 1 car park, yet it was a complete "logisitical failure".

U2 were very good, for various reasons we left before the encore but they'd done most of what you would expect, plus lots of the normal political posturing.
