So we decided to keep our hard earned cash and spend it somewhere where it was wanted lol

That's half the reason why we weren't there, different people in the RSOC gave us completely different stories. In the end we just thought sod it

couldn't really warrant it, the money we would have spent in fuel/entrance was better spent at B&Q getting a few more bits for the garden & having the day to do it

according to the posts that i had replies to. you could put rs cars on the visiting stands
you couldn't put rs cars on rs stands if you weren't a paid up member of the rsoc national group

Exactly what I'm talking about mate. Nobody seemed to know for definate and by the time we got some clarity the deadline for tickets was only a couple of days away which gave us no time to get sorted.

Shame. I thought the day was fantastic, but reasons like this could be why others thought it wasn't as big as other years.
