Gate D Superrace 

 

Question, if someone's paying music on a decent speaker in the queue is that annoying or welcomed? 

 

Never brought a speaker but my car radio is fucked so will have one.

Overnight I would imagine you will get a very mixed response.

Suppose it depends on what music ha, someone was playing music on a speaker before in the queue and they had a pretty awful tastes. Everyone booed/chanted at him and he turned it off after a while.

We're aiming to be camped up in south park. Which means entry via pgD (fingers crossed). now I know you cant decide where to park....But. What is the best way to drive to hopefully ensure you end up on the west side for parking. Were coming from the north (Sheffield).

 

Any help please? 

[macaloon]

We are coming from Newcastle.. I think this is the postcode we use for the west side car parks. BA6 8NE

That's said I also found this one.. TA11 7DP

Answers on a postcard

probably annoying as everyone's taste in music is atrocious, apart from mine obviously

Worthy FM would probably be the most welcome thing if putting something on.

I don't think I could handle that. In the car it stays!!

We'll be coming down today arriving for 1am-ish from south wales, may have a kip in the car before joining the queue at 4am.

Was that cost effective, out of interest? 

Arriving at Gate A?

Defo, we did last year, private coach car park is a massive open empty space, drop off, short walk to gate D, £100 between us for the car park pass.

For me because its closest to where I camp. 

[Laurenkfj]

Not long now!!

[fightoffyour]

So are we actually going to have to stay in the cara overnight? I'm planning to anyway after last year's horror but I'm wondering when we'll be allowed to get up and start queuing, I'm thinking about 6am.

Not sure if you are CV or car.

But, car arrivers are already quing at the gates.

So, 'stay in your car's is bollocks
