I might be going! Is it worth paying extra for a public grandstand ticket?

I'll be going.
Triple Sec: I went in the grand stand one year, haven't bothered on all other visits and reckon its better further round the track. Where ever you sit you need binoculars really!

The TV, sadly you can only spectate from the chichane round to the Cambell Cobb & Seagrave complex, which is a total of four corners.
If you want to see balls out over taking go to the chicane, you can usually bank on a few spills there as well

We normally go, but getting dearer every year for a family, £23 each this year on the gate for Sunday, £20 in advance.
Will probably still go, as it's only 40 miles away

I was absolutely gutted, kinda resigned to not going cos of weather forecasts - all were wrong, so thought when I saw the bright morning without rain I went to drag the S3 out only to find a puncture gutted as it turned out to be a good day weather wise and the racing looked awesome apart from the bad crashes- fortunate that no one was seriously hurt.
the triumphs were looking pretty good too in the ss600 - so close to a win

I didnt go either due to saving money for the wifes car exhaust which needed replacing last week, hoping it would last until the end of the month but it just got louder, bugger, first time i havent been in 3 years, enjoyed it on the tv tho, there was some good close racing and the 675 nearly got a win.
