stabba 10,745 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 There are more "tat" stalls now than hunting/countryside related stalls hence the "carboot" slant. £17 to get in then get overcharged for refreshments/food aswell. A family of 4 could go to the seaside and have a good day out on what it would cost to go to the Midland. Then to have the Lurchers/terriers shunted into a remote spot makes you wonder who the fair is really catering for..yep the moneymen/women..Keep ya cash in ya pocket and go to a proper show is my advice ..one where your not treated as a second class citizen..unless your of the "give it both barrels" brigade..atb stabba 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil82 1,080 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 several posts on here criticising the midland so i will ask, what`s your idea of an ideal game fair,is it loads of dogs in the main arena, several baits buried for the blokes with shovels to dig out against the clock, and the main event, ,,screaming at your dog when it chases a sheep instead of the released hare and nails the local farm cat on the way past , you may not all agree with the way the big shows are run, but if you don`t like them then simply stay away, bit like this forum, if you don`t like whats posted then don`t look (expecting plenty of incoming on this so go ahead, rip away) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
