The Last Donny

This is .......Bonnie, that's another reason my patience is almost exhausted with raceday, because come Sunday, every year, these hospitality areas haver multiplied. I watched the last all 2 stroke GP infield between Schwantz and Mcleans, followed by the classic race, in which Sheeney cleaned up on the Manx Norton..still gives me goosebumps. Th following year, there was a corporate Ducati tent, and a barrier cordoning off exactly where we had stood the year before..and a sign saying 'Official Ducati viewing area' What about the 'official genuine racefan I've forked out a large percentage of my hard earned pay cheque viewing area' This is where the corporate reliance crumbles - they forget about the 'great unwashed' - the average Joe race fans, who support the series by attending each year, buy the merchandise, and - surprise surprise, might actually have want to exercise some viewing preferences in return.


I find this astonishing. The bulk of the crowd sits at Craners on the hill. It would appear, that the usual access point to this is to be cordoned off. Perhaps this only applies to raceday? - Even so, that's a .... of a lot of punters that are gonna be forced into Redgate, or cram onto the mound at Coppice, and the Dunlop straight.

Regarding raceday Bonnie, Aww how could I not be there, and not meet the big man himself?? Rog..PM me, the inbox is now empty of obscenities and Jum's MJ propaganda.

If you both want to stop over on route, say the word...5 miles from Jnct.21

Hey who goes to the races to WATCH, that's what video recorders are for!

I'm going for the noise, atmosphere and most of all the COMPANY. I can't wait to meet all you guys and share a few beers.

Looks like you boys are gonna have a cracking good time. Man, I didn't realize how many members live close to the track. I'm bummed I can't go, but I will send my new protégé, the Clarkmiester. I will plan on going next year, even though I would prefer Donny. I hope the post race thread is as colorful as the preplanning going on here. And yes, Arabi, your right, the passionate fan is being squeezed out, sucks.

Take plenty of pictures please.

Rog, please don't wear your hideous Rossi shirt, I want somebody else to have a chance at wining it.

3X3 suit case, as I recall, he packed a tooth brush (to keep the gold teeth shinny) a hideous tshirt, a pair of shorts, and the rest cans, bottles, and even carton crates of booze--that's no ........ too. How he got through customs checkpoint I will never know.

Thats what I like to see Rog. A man not afraid to put his foot down when it matters
Pussers all sorted

Note to Junkie...I said Pussers ( rum, pirate juice ), not .....

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (chopperman @ Jul 14 2009, 11:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>it was on there website when booking. it cost £4.50 to have tickets sent or print your own for free. They send you a link and you download from there. You got to be careful tho, you can only do it the once so if you .... it up you will have to phone them and plead.

i wouldn't panic mate. most venues dont sent there tickets out until about 7- 10 days before the event. stops ticket touting.

Yeah, this is normal. Give them a ring though if you still haven't got them by this weekend.

And I just thought today - are the print-out tickets actually supposed to be the size of a full A4 sheet, or have I printed them out wrong? Only I don't want to turn up lookin like a .... with a ticket four times the size it should be.

Why don't you just leave tickets at will-call?

Fak me NO WAY - just a sniff of that sort of thing these days and I'd be booking a stomach pump. Although years ago we used to do something very similar. Remember Merrydown? Used to make snakes by mixing it with Tenants Super - so I guess that was pretty similar.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (chopperman @ Jul 14 2009, 10:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>ah yes basspete's favorite souce of vitimin c
