(16 May 2016, 7:53 am)Andreos1 wrote One of the things that is concerning me, are borne out of the comments in the Metrocentre Rally thread, mentioned in the 'Future of Bus Rallies' one and witnessed at previous events, such as Seaburn last year.

Granted not everyone is the same, but when enthusiasts fight, argue, loiter around entrances in packs, get involved in petty enthusiast politics etc., I can't help feeling that this family event may be undermined or spoilt in some way by the behaviour of the adult minority - whether intentional or not.

I totally get that the event is an attraction for adult enthusiasts. However, just like the promotional bus events that take place when a new brand is launched, they're designed for families too.
Maybe one or two well known and recognisable enthusiasts may want to bear in mind.

Spot on. The setup seems to work fine at Lothian by the way, but you still get enthusiasts that don't appreciate that it's a family event.

As for the idiots... perhaps a hard line approach needs to be taken? The object of the day is a family fun day, and I'm sure it'll have press attention. I wouldn't be taking any risks with idiots, if it were me running the event...
