The slum that is Donington Park

Spent today at Donington Park watching BSB practice sessions. On arriving all bikes were directed on to a long loose shale track to a shale surface bike park with entry through the kind of wire covered gate you see on tennis courts. On leaving I noticed proper hard bike parks 10% full. There were no directions to circuit entrances so upon slogging all the way back to Coppice we were told no spectator entrance here, go over to that gate to get in. Overgrown lank grass is eveywhere, paintwork is peeling, seating facilities are nil for most of the circuit, the lovely grassy infield now has the remains of a disused motocross track scarring it, the paddock toilets are filthy and rank, the paddock motorhome area is a jumbled up power cable strewn fire hazard nightmare-if one goes up they all will, catering is burger shite. The whole place has the look and atmosphere of a derelict landfill.
Donington does not understand that the paying public expects better than this and never has. Too late now. Place your bet now that the Formula 1 rug gets pulled out from under them and the whole place deservedly gets flattened for a new runway for E Midlands Airport next door.
