I did mention that we used the darlington football stadium cause its got a really big car park for the first meet when the magazines come then on a normal meet go back to the hotel. The football stadium isnt that hard to get to either. I think it will be stupid to split the old and so called new fords into 2 meets. We will just see what happens in the next few months.

Crackin' day..... and I'd say don't go splitting it into old and new. The whole attraction of this meet is the free for all aspect of it and complete randomness of the Fords which attend

I agree Ade. We should of had it at darlington football ground cause the car park is massive. We could use the footy ground just for when classic ford n fast ford come then use the hotel for the rest of the meet. I didnt think it was fair that alot of you didnt get in but this was out of my control.
