Dave you are right about the van at the grand stand end, what I was referring to is
1. We no longer have a burger van on turns 1 & 2 (which has been there since 1999)
2. Until the interval we were told that we would need to take our tickets, leave the ground, go into the grandstand gate and return the same way
Now in all the tracks I have visited I cannot recall having to go through that type of rigmarole in order to get a bite to eat or a drink which all lessens the Derwent park experience, as a home fan I can accept that, but if I was a visiting fan having just got off a bus after a long journey I think I may have a different attitude towards having to miss a couple of heats just to get some refreshment.
I know that to some this may be a minor issue but with a long drawn out protracted meeting it doesn't help
Sorry Dave I have a bee in my bonnet about falling standards, just ignore me
