Not this year no. Going to the big one instead. Hopefully next year they'll have a new venue, a full exhibitors list and I will make a weekend of it.
Edit. I've just seen that I said the same thing about three posts ago. Lol. It's been a long few weeks.

Agree. I always just imagine it's people who want to meet the superstars? Yet I bet the superstars can't stand being there, and count down the seconds untill they are contractually allowed to leave.

I'm driving up from Oxford this afternoon and going tomorrow while my missus and daughter go shopping. Not been before and was expecting good things. Shame not all the big names will be there but it will be a day out anyway.

it's a shame your not going to get a true reflection of how good the show can be,it's it's a shade of how it's been pre pandemic.

And a lot cheaper

Drove over to the show for 9am this morning and came straight home. The amount of people and size of the Q,s to get in we're insane!
Must say I've never done the NAS so can't compare to previous years but the crowds were like being at a football match.
COVID hotspot for sure!

Anytime I've been we've just paid, the massive queue was always for folk that's pre paid.
We used to just walk straight in past them at the door and wait inside for paying queue. 1st time was a bit of an disagreement because one guy was saying we had to wait until all pre paid entered which we then seen another guy ( by now they was a good few folk waiting to just pay) and explained it was a piss take cos folk just kept joining back of that queue which he then went inside, came back and said follow me and took us to the paying queue section

The queue wasn't too much of an issue in all fairness, it goes down fairly fast.
The show on the other hand was pretty poor in comparison to previous years. A lot of dead space and few exhibitors didn't show up.
The content of the stands was also limited. Vale royal for example took 0 fox terminal tackle with them and there were plenty of other examples.
I think it was only really worth while going for a few bait deals - I actually struggled to spend money for a change !
Card machines also didn't work again !
All in all pretty disappointed!

I got there at 10.30 and walked straight in. The show was really poor, nothing like previous years. Like previously mentioned the card machines was not working so saved me some money to be honest.

I see alot of the exhibitors on social media saying it was mental and of you're going tomorrow you should get there early...its almost like they're trying to drum up business, from what I've heard from alot of people it's been very poor

It was really busy to be honest but the stalls are poor. The food hall is as big as the stalls them self.
