Rob B 1,267 Posted June 28, 2015 Noticed on tickets it says door open 4.00pm, that's an hour later then usual. Has anything been announced about pre-meeting 'entertainment' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted June 28, 2015 Riga, Stuart Robson ??? RIGA ... nothing to do with Stuart Robson. Just saying that apparently the track in Riga for GP qualifier was very good. Noticed on tickets it says door open 4.00pm, that's an hour later then usual. Has anything been announced about pre-meeting 'entertainment' BELIEVE it is because more people tend to hang around the Fanzone and enter the stadium later ...

I suspect the 4.00 start will mean long queues waiting to get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Science 1,059 Posted June 28, 2015 Here`s one race from Riga yesterday-sadly it`s heat 3 where kildemand crashed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWV7T_FBZB4To be fair Peter Kildermand crashes at most places. I hope the fanzone is bigger then last year as it was very small and cramped in its new location. I suspect the 4.00 start will mean long queues waiting to get in.Would image it would be the same size if its exactly the same place. Seems everyone at BSI towers is keeping stum over this years opening ceremony the aim I would imagine to top last years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,791 Posted June 29, 2015 If that`s correct about the doors to the general public not open until 4pm-i think that is a big mistake. I cannot think of any big sporting event I have attended where the doors haven`t been opened at least 90 mins before the start-Parade will start bang on 5 pm as 1st race is on official documents as 5.15pm. I can see a lot of congestion at bag checks etc and just cannot understand any reasoning behind this late opening of the turnstiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted June 29, 2015 Saving money on staffing? CANNOT imagine that the Millennium will have less staff than usual but that would be their call ...

SCB 15 Posted June 29, 2015 You'd think the stadium would love having people in early to sell them a £4 pint and a £6 hotdog! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
