I pointed out that it didn't start for another 8 hours and the marshal said, "On no some of them have been here 2 days". I Asked him where I could park and he said outside the closed zone. Apparently that was 'the whole of the town centre'. I realised he was too stupid to talk to.
Its ridiculous to close the road 8 hours early. It used to be 3 hours for a rugby international but its getting longer and longer. It has to be deliberate. It ruins all the bus routes that the council tell us we should be using so if you do what you normally do in the circumstances and walk to the end of Tudor St you find they are no there either any more because the council have wrecked that too. I have never seen work on a 600m road last so long, again it has to be deliberate.
I tried to drive round via Penarth Road to park in the St David centre but the road was gridlocked at the Golden Cross with people queuing across the traffic lights waiting to park in John Lewis. I gave up.
So you cannot drive into the centre and you cannot catch a bus. If you don't live near a railway station you have no chance. I'm amazed the centre shop owners aren't in open revolt. It is madness
