Pete the Elaner Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Is there any reason why East of England Showground is not included in the official address? This seems a bit silly because the showground is clearly signposted from the A1. The East of England Arena & Events Centre is not. You would expect them to be somewhere near to each other but not necessarily in the same place. The speedway track (visible from the show) has always been known as the East of England Showground. GETS was the same. Advertised as Arena MK, which is not signposted from anywhere & could be anywhere in Milton Keynes. It is part of the Stadium:MK which is clearly signposted at many locations around the town, so why not add this to the address? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't give a complete answer to that Pete but I assume it's so that visitors know that it's the Arena rather than another part of the Showground site and listing something as taking place at the East of England Arena, East of England Showground would confuse *some* if there are multiple events on site. Anyway I've just checked and the speedway season seems to be over and no other events are on there this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 That's great, couldn't be much clearer than that, thanks Andy. Screenshot and in my phone now :-) Steve. I've just looked at the signposts on the A1 from the south on Streetview and they're not great to be honest Steve. There are signs for Services (a BP garage) and the turning is just after that. A sign at the sliproad (not before) says ' Showground, Chesterton, Alwalton, Elton. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.5461898,-0.3329827,3a,75y,288.98h,85.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGh_UGR3-XSLJhQr0NiQB6A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Elaner Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Anyway I've just checked and the speedway season seems to be over and no other events are on there this weekend. Speedway season is definitely over. It is a sport I have followed ever since I can remember. They seem to have a rule which prohibits any racing after the end of October, even if it does leave some leagues unfinished. You should never have a clash at Peterborough anyway. I could explain why if you want to be bored! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever known something on the Friday evening when we're leaving after set-up to be fair; it can be interesting getting out of the gate if you time it badly.

Booo. I've never been to speedway and often fancied a look. I did get to go greyhound racing when the accomodation for the London show was at Walthamstow.

If I'm honest I did go and look at the calendar to see if it was feasible to go this evening if there'd been a meeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pboro_aerial.jpg Have a good trip. You can also return back to the A1 Southbound by the same route, but turning right - sign posted ALWALTON – into Orundle Road, through the Village passing the Cuckoo PH. It’s not sign posted A1 to deter vehicles from using this route! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwinian Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Hmm can’t actually write that sort of reply on my iPod for some reason. First time I used sat nav to get to the show it brought me to an entrance gate at the wrong end of the showground. I could see cars coming towards me and turning into the parking but the gates in front of me were locked. I’ve used the Oundel road as my target since then.
