Second Rate Spectator Service @ Snett

[splitpin]

Sorry for being a right old moaner, but as this happened yet again (as on so many other occasions) at the AMOC Meeting @ Snett this Saturday just gone, not going to let it pass without comment this time!

The spectator stands at Coram and Brundle/Nelson/Bomb Hole were both locked shut, so they were totally non-accessible to paying Customers.

As a regular spectator particularly at Snett, I tend to regard this as something of a two fingered thank you from the Circuit/MSV/Mr Palmer.

Incidentally, notwithstanding the above, it was a most enjoyable day's racing; weather and the racing itself; many thanks to AMOC and all the competitors and marshals.

Don't they usually make you pay more to sit in them though?

No (and please don't go giving Mr P any more daft revenue raising ideas especially as we've waited donkey years for these tiddly little basic things!), not that that makes any difference to the point I'm making; not unlocked for use means not unlocked for use.

PS The intermarque race was really entertaining .................. thanks!

I always assumed it was a health and safety thing? That they had to put an attendant wherever there was an open grandstand in case anyone fell over etc? having said that, i have been to club meetings at various tracks and found open grandstands with no one in.

You might be right about the H&S thing. So said, there were plenty watching and I'm in no doubt that several like me would have have sat in those two stands if they could have done; one can see much more on an essentially flat track like Snett by being able to sit a few feet up in the air.

A couple more staff to look after their paying Customers isn't going to make MSV go bust, but doubtless they'll be happy to continue delivering below-par Customer Service for just as long as we are prepared to tolerate it.
