HOODLUM65 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Anyone here at the event ? Reading in the Sunday paper it was a success . However, hearing of folk waiting 3 hrs for transport back to Perth and arriving back at 3am . Some folk going back to Glasgow taking 5hrs . Some folk who had been 12 times , said never again. Lack of Information, unhelpful/ Ignorant Stewards/ Police and unlit car park area etc. Suggests there's a lot still to be done to make it a success for punters .

Tranmere Saintee Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I guess they are using the same stewards as Saints and highlighted by them refusing to let taxis into the pick up area!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hope that they learned from this year & make improvements required next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 My sister in law, and hunners of others, had to wait for hours to be towed out of the swamp-like car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldermoresensiblepack Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Been speaking to a few folk there on Fri-Sat and they all said it was a cockup. Queues for everything including getting out. I was at Strathclyde Park and 4 Ballado's and every time the price went up the service went down. This year cost my mate £400 + to send his 2 kids for 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejksjfc Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 If stewarding was provided by G4S I would not be surprised if it was shambolic. My daughter has just arrived back and said she had a great time. Though they do need to get some issues sorted out. At the end of the day there is feck all they can do about the weather though.

The Patient Saint Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Bar employing 20 year olds on £5.13 per hour with the added sting that all their tips had to be handed over to be donated to charity. Pints £4.60. Now there is exploitation. I was out on drop off duty and it was a total shambles. How Geoff Ellis of DF Concerts (pre tax profits in 2013 £4.53milion) can put things down to teething problems beggars belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
