psycholist Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I spotted this link to the Sheffield Moto Trials round on Saturday 9/1/2010 off Bikemagic - it's a world moto trials round and Danny Mac's doing the interval show: http://www.sheffieldarena.co.uk/whats-on/t...orcycle-trials/I plan to fly over from Ireland - how easy is it to get transport to the arena and what's accommodation like in & around Sheffield?Also, Toni Bou's doing gaps to front now ...

Ben Swales Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Transport to the arena is a piece of piss. The tram goes right by it, as do bus routes 17, 69, 130, 208, 209, 210, 287, 424, X5, X40, X69 and X73.Accomodation is OK, although living here, I've never had to actually look into it, so probably not the best person to advise you one that. My mate is the PR manager at The Harley, which is right by the University tram stop, about 30 minutes from the arena, so you may want to check them out.I'll be going along, if you fancy someone to go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hee hee - this looks like it's a runner so far anyway ... I'm waiting for a few more people to get back to me to see if they're going too... To make use of more local knowledge - Have you any recommendations on where the best seats in the arena are?

AdamR28 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Just before you book, in case it makes a difference...Danny Mac's doing the interval show:This isn't confirmed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 There should be at least 2 of us heading over so far... Flights and train fares seem reasonable ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make use of more local knowledge - Have you any recommendations on where the best seats in the arena are?where are you flying to to get here, doncaster manchester??I live in sheffield and its very easy to get to the arena like ben said. I belive there is a etap hotel very very near to the arena so that should do you. around the arena theres is also loads of pubs and like an entertainment area. Also i beieve there is a premier inn near aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) Cool - looks like I might have 3 people now . Flights from Shannon to Birmingham are cheap at the moment, trains run every half hour to Sheffield from there and take less than 2 hours for the trip. Only annoying thing is that to get big savings on the train I need to book a specific time as the anytime ticket is 3 times the price of every second train heading up there and about twice the price of the other trains. Only other question really is whether there's only one tram line which stops both at the train station and the Sheffield Arena or whether there are a few tram lines and I need to be careful choosing. What does the tram cost? Edited November 27, 2009 by psycholist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the tram cost?Bus Prices for trams and there is only two routes i think and run often.Have a good time, I too am going, possibly in a box too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theom Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Says in the trials and motocross hes going to be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 he is still recovering from his broken collor bone, it seems the event organizers jumped the gun a bit when danny showed interest. I don't know for sure if he is going or not, but he said to me that he wouldn't if he wasn't 100% recovered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) Says in the trials and motocross hes going to be there?Think i remebr right, i were talking to kenny wilson his good mate and because he's broken his collar bone he hasnt rode for ages and also he's due to be able to go back on the bike only a few days before this event and thats if everything has healed properly. Hope he does turn up for you lot though and yeh hopefully a ride can be arranged.edit: Ali you beat me to it Haha Edited December 26, 2009 by Mr Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Yep, I think a good few rides in sheffield are in order. I am sure there will be something ready organised to replace danny mac.If the weather isn't good I might ring my cousin up to see if we could borrow a barn for a while and make an indoor thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 My Mrs and two riding mates (one of whom has dislocated his knee) are coming with me, so I won't be able to ride, even if the snow clears up I'll keep an eye out for TF faces!
