This is very disappointing compared to previous years. Il still attend but I'm not looking forward to it half as much as I was.

Apparently the price of stands have put the exhibitors of being there

just spoke to my mate,taking the hit on the ticket and not going, absolute disgrace that they've taken people's money and put and exhibitors list like that together.

That's actually an improvement on what I was told a couple of weeks ago. At that point there wasn't apparently going to be ridgemonkey, solar or cc moores. So I'm guessing there's either been a last minute change of heart there or some serious arm twisting.
Considering that it's thousands of pounds outlay to attend. I'd be surprised if many companies break even. I hope I'm wrong cos I absolutely love this show, but I fear with an exhibitor list like that then the footfall will be well down. Such a shame for the organisers who had really built that up into a really great weekend event. Who knows with event city being demolished, maybe a new venue next year, maybe even the NEC could revitalise it.

Yeah I feel the same. I think it took me three hours to drive there the first time I went. In all honesty I'd probably see what I wanted to from that exhibitor list in less than two hours. Six hour round trip seems a bit excessive for that. I hope that next year it's back to its best and I will probably book a hotel and go for the weekend.

Pretty disappointed with the lineup . I'll still go because I enjoy the day out but I'm not particularly excited about it
I'd rather just go fishing. Same for all the shows to be honest. Never got the interest.

Not actually seen the exhibitors list. But in there defence I'd imagine they weren't even sure this would be aloud to go ahead until recently. All probably very last minute.com for a lot of the stands. Maybe a lot of big names couldnt manage at such short notice.
Still going to be rammed though. People have been clucking for over two years now to spend there hard earned on nothing they really actually need..
