Yes, but I bet your Lager was nice and cold.

£6 for a rather lovely breakfast bun in the market hall bit (and £2 for a tea) which kept me going for about 5 hours of walking around the circuit, pretty reasonable for such an event. Particularly so as it was a properly decent bun, you'd normally pay that for something rubbish at a big event.

So about the same as a good ticket for a premiership game gets you a day of the finest historic motorsport on the planet.

BTW don't look at prices for the SIlverstone GP, you'll have a stroke.

You can take food in if you do wish. Price of beer is about right for an event and in fact some pubs near me charge that for crap stuff. The Goodwood ale and festival lager are ok.

As for food for £9 I got 3 large strips of incredible breaded chicken, chips and salad/coleslaw which was that good I went back again the next day! Whilst more expensive than KFC when you consider no drink in that price, but I’d expect around £7 gets you some greasy chicken and soggy chips and drink.

Sunday morning I had a hog bap for breakfast which was £5 again I didn’t feel ripped off. However I wish they’d do £20 for a tin mug and unlimited tea from the shed. They used to do it at the revival for about £8 with mug but that stopped.

Just buy a Goodwood hot water bottle, free hot water refills all day.
Pocketful of tea bags, bring your own tin mug and your sorted wink

Goodwood never has a clue about the waiting list and they dont care. For the same reason Morgan doesn't much care about their waiting list. Namely: neither of them need to.
This always has and always will continue to remain the case.

The FOS hasnt been worth attending since about 2001/2 when the numbers were ramping up to 150,00 over the weekend. The Revival reached that same "2001/2" stage about 3-4 years ago.

The MM took over from the Revival with the first event and everybody who was there recognised that fact immediately because we all had the same thought: bugger me, its like the first Revival again...thank God! Then the second thought...ahh crap Ray and Mark are dead, so we can't have THAT or THAT again frown

The same rule about Goodwood events holds true as it does for every other motorsport event...when the number of M3s in the car park becomes noticeable, its time to find a new event to attend as it means the branded clothing brigade have arrived.
