Don't even think about coming to Knockhill then!! They put a lot of money into but still not the 4/5* you expected. Every time I've been to Donington I've never had problem - race days, track days, vintage weekends but then it sounds like we're used to roughing it with our circuits. LOL!!!!

Like I said in an earlier post, I'm more than happy rough it. My problem is with being charged 4/5* entrance money and getting 2* standards.

Every other circuit in the country has upgraded spectator facilities and costs are reasonable, but Donington have taken the p1ss by being expensive and giving nothing back for far too long.

it's a shame because it's a great circuit to ride and spectate at

Which is exactly why they know punters will pay. I agree it's nice to be catered for a bit, but I'd rather they spent their money on the track side of the fence and as is abundantly clear there isn't a lot to go round.

This member of the great British public will be voting with his wallet.

if MSV don't take control I won't spectate there until it's been proven that the new owners are making thnings much better for the paying public

I'm not going, I have other plans. I doubt Danny will be either. Dr Palmer has enough money to cover the renovations and improve the circuit, so he can have my little contribution at the gate when I attend my next meeting there as a spectator
