Belfast Motor Show (Father Ted Style)
Discussion
This is what happens when you have bad leadership, lack of sponsors etc
Belfast Motor Show this weekend was like something out of Father Ted
About 10 cars on show and stalls featuring all car related things such as tanning booths, eyebrow threading etc
Some of the Facebook comments are quite amusing

They had a Noble M600 and well that was about it.
Seems Noble were led up the garden path and were expecting to be like Ulster motor shows from the 80's and 90's
No other brands took part and they were charging £50 for people to show classics hence why nobody turned up.
To say there isn't is nonsense considering over 10k people bought tickets.
They actually have a motorcycle festival at the same venue every year and it is sponsored by every manufacturer in the business and get about 50k attending.
heres what was advertised and what people expected

Compare this to the Silverstone classic and it was not even on the same page
Being in Northern Ireland this probably won't get much response but I think it'll be on the BBCNolan breakfast show tomorrow morning
Which is always great for a laugh on the daily commute
They basically promoted this as Earls Court style and took 100k in ticket sales.
From what I gather they organisers aren't petrol heads and botched a few wedding shows prior to this flop

The rest of the PHrs on the mainland probably don't understand the outrage about this event.
It was in every newspaper in Northern Ireland and was on both BBC and ITV local news

Let me put this in perspective.
Imagine if the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Earls Court Motor or Silverstone Classic Show advertised itself as the biggest motor show in the country.
Then people turned up and there was a huge complex with an Austin Allegro and a few other bangers.
