    Last year I was in the Woodcote is it ?
    You saw them coming down the Wellington straight towards the Luffield, before they came along past you.
    was a good position.

    We were also in Woodcote and you do see a the riders for a long stretch. Also this year they're going back to the National Pits so it's going to be the last corner again.

    A mate of mine went and stood at Vale and said there was loads of action there and a great viewpoint.

    The view from Becketts Stand is awesome - you can see about a third of the circuit but you do need to be in the seating high up - loads of high speed action.

    Noob question... I'm going on Sunday, first time... we have "roving" tickets, how long before the main event do we need to get settled to bag a good seat? Do people generally bag the good seats first thing in the morning and stay there all day?

    It's was really busy today - great atmosphere and the interviews this evening worth seeing.

    I have roving grandstand seats so need to decide one and get there early and then that's seat for day.

    It's the best £40 spent for a 3 day ticket - some may remember me posting about the nec bike show last year saying it was the biggest deal at the show.
