imagine we will still be doing it this year as its club advertisement at shows helps
Bang on. It's the people and clubs that make the show. The club I've gone with the last few years is always one of the last to leave, we usually do food, people are around chatting. It's a social event as much as a show, and because it's a smaller one, it means more time for meeting up and chatting with people, as there is less pressure to spend all day walking around to try and see everything.
Groups abandoning ship because a show has a quiet year or two will only make it worse sadly. Based on a comment above, it sounds like the ST boys had their biggest entrance yet, which doesn't tally up with some of the comments here. I don't think the ZSOC stand really looked any smaller than normal, the FCGB stand was still pretty sizeable. It was smaller than previous years I suppose, but I really don't remember it being "dead"
I think the venue lets it down for sure, the weather is hit and miss and it will always struggle to attract those who want track action and the like, but I think, given that it's always been a small show, it does ok really.
