Hobbies like this attract a huge neuro diverse following. Not all people on the spectrum are lively and out of control. I'd say that most are keen to avoid overload and seek to quietly enjoy their hobby, whatever hobby that may be.

I get what your saying and don't disagree persay but is there really other places to go? You have to remember these kids / adults are coming from all over the place and there's nothing really around the MetroCentre coach park. 

The MetroCentre certainly isn't a place that they'd be going to imo for the reasons you said. 

Mind I think it's hard to brush it on just kids as it wasn't them having a drag race last year - it seems there's quite a few people making their own entertainment hence the bored comments. 

If people were entertained would be going off on a whim and having drag races etc? 

It's probably a big reason why Seaburn doesn't have the problems as there's a beach, arcades, parks and stuff around to go to, to take a break let's say. It's why the venue imo sucks in 2025 and events like Whitehaven on the same day went without issues.
