Ive gone every year for the past 14 years and I thought this year was the worst.
It once took all day (9am to 6pm) to get round the whole show and even then you were sure you had missed some of it but this year we had seen nearly all of it by 1pm.
The live action was very poor, No live presenters juat a video of Murry Walker which was good to see the chap again.
Cant beleave im gonna say this but think ill give next years a miss.

Its a shame but I may agree with you

I have always seen this as a kick start to the year but as said above we covered it before the "live" show and left after it

I was there today and I agree it was very poor. Seemed to be less stands, the live arena was nothing exciting and too repetitive from every other year.

Even the lycra tottie was thin on the ground!!

I got a deal on my tickets £20 each otherwise I would be really hacked off.

Definitely give it a miss next year.
