点评:I will start this review with a bit of context.
On the Saturday of the Bank Holiday weekend we chose Haydock over Cartmel. It was £9 cheaper to watch some of the best horses in the country, safe in the knowledge that if it rained we could watch sheltered from the elements. Cartmel on the other hand is in an unsheltered field with some of the worse racehorses in the country.
Whilst at Cartmel you can take your own drink the price at the bars are the same.
Now onto yesterday ( the Wednesday night meeting).
We arrived at the railway station to be greeted by the buses. They have literally gone from £5 return last year to £5 single this year.
On the course they had decided to make it a one price fits all for the day. ( speaking to people who had bought in advance they weren't getting any refund.
What surprised me more than anything was how the beer tents ( where you used to be able to shelter from the elements were no more, they now just had 2 small beer ' kiosks' one on the course side, the other on the paddock side. The paddock had 4 staff members serving, the course just 2. The prices for a pint of madri were different. £7 in the paddock. £5.50 on the course. Very strange. Lucky it wasn't raining because there would have been nowhere to drink them and keep dry.
There are party tents you can hire ( prices have increased dramatically) and for some strange reason picnic benches. Which for this meeting ( probably due to nobody purchasing them ) were free.
The standard of racing was again poor.
It now seems that they aren't interested in the everyday family attending, it's all about the high end hospitality. We won't be back unless things improve, it's a lot more enjoyable at Carlisle and Haydock, it's cheaper, better horses and the added bonus of somewhere to keep dry
翻译:我先从一些背景开始这篇评论。
在银行假日周末的周六,我们选择了海多克而不是卡特梅尔。在那里观看一些英国最好的赛马比赛便宜了9英镑,而且不用担心下雨,我们还可以避雨。而卡特梅尔的赛马场没有遮蔽,赛马场里有一些英国比较差的赛马。
虽然在卡特梅尔你可以自带酒水,但酒吧的价格是一样的。
现在来说说昨天(周三晚上的比赛)。
我们到达火车站时,迎接我们的是巴士。巴士的往返票价从去年的5英镑涨到了今年的5英镑。
在赛马场,他们决定将全天票价统一。 (与提前购买的人交谈时,他们没有得到任何退款。
最让我惊讶的是,啤酒帐篷(以前可以躲避风雨的地方)不复存在了,现在只有两个小啤酒亭,一个在赛道边,另一个在围场边。围场有 4 名工作人员,赛道只有 2 名。一品脱马德里啤酒的价格不同。围场 7 英镑。赛道上 5.50 英镑。很奇怪。幸运的是没有下雨,因为没有地方喝酒和保持干燥。
你可以租用派对帐篷(价格大幅上涨)和不知何故野餐桌。这次比赛(可能是因为没人买)是免费的。
比赛水平又很差。
现在看来,他们对每天参加比赛的家庭不感兴趣,他们只关心高端的款待。除非情况有所改善,否则我们不会再来了,在卡莱尔和海多克,更便宜,马匹更好,还有一个干燥的地方
