First: opinions are like backsides. Everyone has one, and here, everyone is entitled to one.
You might vehemently disagree with the original comments, but I'm sure you're capable of making your representations without descending into name calling.
Second, and bit in bold: If you genuinely believe that's the case, I'd suggest the real issue with North East rallies is staring at you in the mirror.
I don't want this to descend into a deviation off topic, but this kind of deflection has been seen many a time before.
There's over a decade worth of discussion on this forum about rallies and events in the North East, and with notable exception of the much-missed 500 Group running day, it's because they've for years been plagued with poor organisation and support, when compared with most events outside of the region. The successful Whitehaven event on May Bank Holiday weekends managed to put the final nail into the Metrocentre (an event that ran for how long?) within it's first couple of years.
Yes, there's also reference of young kids going into buses and playing with destinations, but there's been just as much reference over the years to the attitudes and cliquey behaviour demonstrated by grown adults, and I've seen it myself. Clearly nobody has the right to upset anyone else's day, but the adults need to be better here.
I personally hope the rallies up here are reinvigorated and allowed to become an enjoyable day out that showcases the best of the North East again, but trying to pin the failings on someone on a forum is nonsensical.
Please point out where im name calling. Its beyond pathetic that hes nit picking one panel. Multiple people I spoke today understand the reason why they dont attend. Hell the lads who own the Temsa got someone saying "its the wrong font on the front" like come on. No wonder North East rallys are going down the pan.
He cant sit there and complain one panel is wrong. And still i cant see where i name called someone. If he cant take the slightest bit of criticism then he needs to re look again. Read through this entire thing and not one person has clearly stuck up
