Bunce 347 Posted February 22, 2016 Has anybody camped at the Showground before? I'm tempted to take my caravan and stay for the whole weekend, as the price seems very reasonable, but I have no idea what facilities are on offer, or where I would be situated on the showground. I believe electric hook ups are possibly on offer, but I can manage without as I'm self contained. It sounds as if it could be a fun weekend, but very few details have been released so far. If anybody has any tips on camping there, I'd be grateful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,135 Posted February 29, 2016 Why buy tickets this far in advance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tapeworm 169 Posted February 29, 2016 What happens in the event of a rain-off on one or both days ? Free entry to a re-arranged meeting would be no use to those of us travelling long distances. This is a disincentive to buy tickets in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,060 Posted February 29, 2016 What is the official capacity at the showground? Grandstand holds 2200, dont know how many you would get along the back straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,135 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Told this will be a sell out so book tickets while they're available.Same person who told you the tooth fairy and Santa Claus are real presumably. I've no desire to have my money sitting in somebody else's bank account for 5 months gaining interest Grandstand holds 2200, dont know how many you would get along the back straight.First bend would hold many hundreds. Can't think why the crowd would be that much higher than any other 4's at Peterborough. I'll guarantee there will be not many more than 4,000 in attendance on either of the two days Edited February 29, 2016 by Shads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunce 347 Posted March 1, 2016 With regards to the camping, which may be of interest to fans coming from away tracks, I contacted the Peterborough Speedway office with a few questions, and received the following reply which may be of interest? Campers are allowed in from Friday 22nd from 5pm There is plenty of space and you enter Showground at gate 14, it will be signposted Electric hook up is an extra £50 payable to Showground on the day, this is a separate charge from us unfortunately There is sufficient space for awnings etc and you would be able to book on the day We also have security booked 24/7 throughout the weekend. I believe the Camping/caravanning charge is £10 per night with loo's and showers available. However I don't think I'd bother with the electric hook up at an eye watering £50. I can always run my fridge on gas to keep the beer cold! Certainly worth considering as a weekend away with 72 heats of Speedway on offer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
