I would perfer (prefer?) if you had to buy the programme to gain admisssion, I will pay for both, but many others will not and we will be back to "could you let me look at your programme a second" "who is number 77" "What bike is number ?? on" "whats the next race" etc. It is ok to tell some people where to go, but telling a 6 foot gorilla to get stuffed is not the best way to enjoy an afternoon.

Compared with Athea last week with 15 euro for admissin and 15 euro for a programme, Dundrod is the better value. That is two full meetings, the Dundrod 150 and the UGP.

Also, I read somewhere that by buying both the programme and paying the £10 entrance guarantees the individual a dry weeks racing. I can't remember where I saw that so don't quote me, it may have been on the bottom of one of Lidl's fineist red.But after the last two years I think we are due it.
