Good luck to Sean and here's hoping that it is the success he firmly deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Admission prices are as follows everyone Adults £15 OAP £8 Child £6 Seems extremely good especially for under 16s for the quality of meeting we have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeltiger Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Just noticed on Sean's Website that you have to access the back stright via the Livesey Street turnstiles directly opposite the new Hillsborough College. This I believe is down to Health and safety reasons that you cant walk round inside the stadium any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa_Power! Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Having read the Billy Hamill visa situation on the BSPA website, this surely means that he will not be at the Cracker. Gutted for Sean if this is the case because that will be the second hogh profile rider that has let him down. No disrepect to Ben Wilson or Kyle Legault but I hope they replace him with another rider capable of winning it rather than a reserve.

There is a large car park at the front of stadium but you will need to arrive early to park in there. UNOFFICAL! - Other parking areas. Across the road from the stadium there is a B&Q car park and just a little further along there is a big Morrisons supermarket car park but please check if you ok to park there! Back down the main road from the stadium there might be some places near the Hyundai garage (Rawson Street) but it is a good walk from there. There is street parking around and about but I suggest you have a look on Google Earth yourself before you set off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a61 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Admission prices are as follows everyone Adults £15 OAP £8 Child £6 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't suppose anyone knows if there will be a student rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananas Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) I would think students will get OAP rate as long as they have a valid student card. Its a bit unfair if they don't to be honest, coz it's like that at most tracks I know of. (I can say that as Im a student myself!!! ) Edit: and the weather doesn't look too bad later in the day, chins up people!!!

This is especially true for Sunday if you cannot walk round the whole stadium. I do like to view from the back straight but not sure if I want to restrict myself to just that area. Also has it any cover if the rain comes? All help gratefully received! MartynP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesting Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 If I'm not mistaken the cafe part is on the home straight and so if you can't walk around the stadium will there be some refreshment area on or near the back straight? Never been when the back straight is open so wouldn't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
