OLDYELLOW Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 all good fun there but think its lost its appeal now the winter gardens last year was pathetic packed solid couldnt move and not many stalls there either i think they should move it from blackpool to london my self and swap it around every other year i get sick of traveling 5 hours there and then bk again :( well i'd agree that it was packed hot and sweaty and you couldnt move and there was probably less stalls in recent years even if there was more E.T.S stalls , i would like to see the venue in a more centralised location , but defo not in London that would kill it everyone willing to pay a congestion charge ? think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOVEScot Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 well i'd agree that it was packed hot and sweaty and you couldnt move and there was probably less stalls in recent years even if there was more E.T.S stalls , i would like to see the venue in a more centralised location , but defo not in London that would kill it everyone willing to pay a congestion charge ? think not Aye some place central like Fife ;D ;D ;D I think you would be hard pushed to get the venue and the accommodation that is on offer altogether at Blackpool for the numbers that attend also the clubs and pubs for the mass exodus all at one time:-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzle_hen Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 But I'm not sure about accommodation and bars around there, I guess the Blackpool weekend is about the pigeons but the atmosphere of Blackpool makes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOVEScot Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 What about Birmingham NEC, thats pretty big and I know they have used it for dog shows, so no problem with animals I have done loads of events at birmingham bothe NEC an NIA and altough it is a great venue you will not get the accommodation and socialising as close to the venue as you would at Blackpool, and probably not as cheap either :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOVEScot Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 its only the people who make the atmoshere any where !!! You won't get the same atmosphere as the pubs and clubs around the NIA and NEC are always used where at Blackpool it is closed season and open purposely for that w/e and you would not get all the sales in the hotels central to the event :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
