TOMO 24,839 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I didn't go,,, and me spend 50 in a pub,,,, you must be pissed,,,lol,,,I get sweaty peeling out a fiver..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stewie 3,387 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 You went to chatsworth, and enjoyed it...? There's feck all there ,,, or the wasn't 3 year ago last time I went and vowed never to go again,,, the stalls there were just tools and other bull shit,, Like I said should be no more than a fiver,,, can't believe you think 20 is worth it,,, it's not like going to a theam park paying an entry to go on mechanicle rides is it,,,, It's like going to vicy centre in notts,,, or meadow hall in sheff,,, and being charged an entry to go in and shop? Tomo, the estates have to make some money, so they run different events and charge for it. Feck all there........ what do you want? The only thing that I could see missing was gun traders, of which I didn't miss at all, and paki stands selling tat. Just seemed everything was better quality and in a much nicer setting. I really don't see 20 quid to get in as a big deal. If the fairs are so shite it's not worth 20 quid, don't go. Go to the pub for the afternoon instead and blow 50..... unless your taurquin and only need to buy two pints.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,008 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 same as always, lots of moans about the entrance fee, cost of grub ETC, have you lot ever thought about pre-booking and taking your own grub Yep.....and it's still a rip off,,,entrance fee,,, if there should be one, baring in mind how much the stalls pay to stand,,, should be no more than a £5,,, Lets not forget any market you go to ,,,be it a Sunday market,,, high street market,,, or even a boot sale ,,, you don't pay an entry fee,,,,the market it's self makes its money from the stalls.... Should be no different so you think the entrance fee should only be £5, does that pay the wages of all the staff manning the car parks, the entrance gates, the people going round constantly picking up the shit that the bone idle ones just drop on the floor, the security guards, also plod would not be there for free, if you think its too expensive then just don`t go. out of interest has any one got any idea what they pay for the displays, bet its more than just expenses Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 24,839 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yes I think it should be a fiver,,, if not free,,, surly the wages come out the site rents for stalls,,,,, how do you think meadow hall or any shopping mall pay there staff,,,,, that's right site rent from the shops..... You keep throwing em out,, and I'll knock back,, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You keep throwing em out,, and I'll knock back,, I'm far from a businessman tomo, but what is the upkeep of a shopping center compared to a country estate? If the estate hit the retailers too hard with fees they would soon have no retailers. It's just economics, game and country fairs aren't shopping centers and I'd hazard a guess it would not be profitable to run them like one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Behave ya self,,, I'm yet to see an estate owner on a bike,,, don't they already make a shed load from farming ,, shooting ect?,,, don't tell me the old duke of Devonshire is skint,,, Stop sticking up them you bunch of fannys,, lol. You ain't going to convince me were not being ripped of paying 20 to get in a show.... And they do hit the retailers hard for rent,,, it's a fecking lot of money for a big stand at a big show,, it's the sort of money a shop would pay in a month,,, of course you have the customers at a show,, but none of you lot are telling me ,,, there not making a stink load of money at these shows,,, they wouldn't do it if they weren't,,, I just think us lot the customers shouldn't have to pay,,, apart from a nominal amount at best... Last Time I took the family to the midland about 2 years ago ,, cost me over 100 entrance fees ,,, kids fair rides ,,burgers not to mention fuel,,,, IT'S TO MUCH FECKING MONEY 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,622 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Here's a novel idea then Tomo, crack on with ya own game fair, don't charge an entrance fee, rinse the retailers and if you're predictions are right the masses will flock to this mecca in their droves. Maybe charge them a quid to get in and call that your wages for it? The CLA sees around 300'000 people a time..... one fair an you'll be retiring comfortably my friend!
