Just catching up on all this... My browser had forgotten my password for tentenths and so had I!! It took a bit of time to get a new one..
The whole thing feels like someone has come in and dreamt up a super centenary celebration, whilst forgetting that there is a race on at the same time.. Someone will be getting a shiny new blazer and centenary tie + tie pin for this genius idea plus a pat on the back for a job well done.
Meanwhile we scramble for the tickets we'd booked months ago and the ticket agents question why they bother. Hopefully it will all be calm by the end of next week..
I think we're okay with grandstand tickets and possibly okay for camping - but we'll only know for sure once the agent knows!!
Bring back the fax machine and hand writing faxes and ticket requests.... plus ca change!
