OK, its a bit expensive (but cheaper than a Premiership Football Match) & you could always go with a few mates to share petrol & parking costs. Take your own sandwiches & flask if that's also a concern. I don't really understand why people are *****ing about the show - if you don't like it, don't go, but why tell everyone that you don't like it & you are not going to go?!
As for the quality of the goods on sale, then again, no one is making you buy stuff, but I have never yet failed to get a discount whether I was buying gloves, tyres, or a new seat and I enjoy browsing around the books & framed prints sections, which I probably wouldn't bother to do if I wasn't at the show.

A forum is a place where one can express their views, these views you do not have to agree to if you do not like them, but as you can see there are others who have posted the same. If you enjoy going thats your descision, just as not going because it is expensive is ours!
