Off Topic Tour de Yorkshire

I'll expect nothing less than all the crowd standing, flares and smoke bombs going off and crowd size compared to a similar sized town on the Tour De France route.

 

Chazz going into comedian mode. And failing.

Let's hope out of towners don't come in using our facilities before going home again.

 

I am here but I won't be watching it.

 

Tour de Yorkshire, pronounced as in Tour de Toad Hall.

 

How come?

 

Not interested.

 

Well...that settles that. A quesiton was asked, it was then answered. Everyone knows the score and no one played silly buggers. All is well.

 

Goes 5 mins away from my 'ouse and I wont be either.

Drugs on Bikes is a silly sport.

 

Does this ever come anywhere near Hull?

If not why?

 

I could be wrong (probably am wrong) but I thought Hull council didn't want to pay the fees for it to go through? Again this could be bollocks.

 

I should imagine this year the council didn't apply because of the C of C. Though previously they didn't because of the cost. Which was ridiculous as it would have brought far more into the city. On that basis nothing which costs money to stage should go ahead.

Of course, alternatively, it may only be going through pleasant places inhabited by superior people.

 

It's 15 seconds walk from my work and can go watch if I want and even though I enjoy cycling I won't be watching as there is nothing really to see watching a road race

 

It didn't in a previous year. Which I said in another post before reading this is ridiculous. It would have brought in a lot more than it cost. Event he people in Brid involved with staging it were surprised at the number of people that turned up.

 

I'm off to the finish in Scarborough,f**k knows how i'm getting back to Hull though,train ****er.

 

I wonder if they'd get a big turn out if it went through Hull centre. I presume it would.

 

It would. But the previous time Geraghty said they weren't applying because of the cost. A short-sighted, and typical, attitude. This time presumably C of C has put the kybosh on it.

 

You'd think it would go really well with the city of culture though wouldn't it? Another big event etc.

 

Presumably they thought it would take too much organising at tge same time. On the other hand they might have thought there would still be workmen and orange barriers all over the place.
