British Grand Prix anyone?
« on: July 15, 2003, 07:31:48 pm »

I remember one year, I made a round trip of around 200 miles to by tickets to get me into the circuit (not with a seat) at Brands Hatch to watch a British Grand Prix and I was lucky to get them.

Just checked a website and I reckon I could book an entire grandstand at Stowe (If I was Bill Gates) for this weeks………race?

I really think that it is a shame that the ludicrous prices, coupled with poor sport, and the ‘couldn’t give a toss about the customer’ attitude shown by the organisers, (no roof on the new stands at Stowe being an example) could result in a very low turnout and ultimately lead to the UK loosing one of its potentially biggest annual International sporting events.

Cheers Bernie!

Mr Ecclestone seems to be leaning towards the view that all the big money and sponsorship deals are to be made in the Far East.  Maybe we won't have a British Grand Prix anymore in the future.
