I realised after I typed that mate ! couldn't get the Santa pod website to load before . Just getn on there now , and looks like it will be fine to camp - wasn't sure if you had to be a member of RSOC or something :/

Spent the weekend there for classic ford - was awesome ! But as you said ..... Wasn't very fresh

Thats the point really as the show itself has no trade and very little in the way of entertainment so i have given up on all rs shows now as even national day was wank last 2 years too

The problem is central have contact with traders but santa pod control how much they charge to have a pitch, this year central have been offering deals to help traders to come so hoping for more. Central have been working hard behind the scene trying to get abut more variation this year and have also opened the gates to all car enthusiast to try and give everyone a good day

Funny how central group are doing exactly what 1-pd tried doing 2 years ago to boost numbers and then they and the rsoc slaughtered steve for it, now they have copied him to the letter so are a bunch of 2faced backstabbers

I can't comment on what may have been said two years ago as I don't no what went on, all I do no is that there has been a few negative comments and central have took that on board and want the show to move forward. Ive said before central show being the first major show of the season could have huge potential. I've read before complaints of it being cold and lack of strip action, things like that is out of central's hands unfortunately
