Early arrivals - action at last?

Posted on 03/09/2022 23:42 by Fozzie

We have to take the poster by face value,and yes I read it on the other forum too.I actually had read it before Tinwheeler opened this thread, and thought at the time it was rather odd.He had no anger in his post,and admitted he was early.

What I do find strange in all of this, why post it on another forum, when he know's this forum is monitored.I just cannot see what he hopes to achieve by this.

+1, he can’t be asking for justice as he broke the rules stated. He was directed to return at the appropriate time(but refused) several times so can’t say he was unaware of the arrival times. He maybe wanted his ego stroking due to his anger. . .Although that wasn’t recognisable. It would be good if the person saw this thread & made his point here🤷🏻‍♂️. Maybe he believed the other forum would be more amenable post dilemma.

If that was his intention then it's not worked out too well. One poster there echo's my sentiments exactly about agreeing to a set of rules then deciding they don't suit and doing your own thing. I could have written that post myself (in case anyone is wondering it's not me on there)

I did wonder when I saw that post, Corners 😀. Perhaps he copied your words from here as there are several who use both forums as we've seen.

I think the main gripe was not being allowed to wait in the arrivals area but not all sites have that much space so I can understand the club issuing a blanket dictate to turn folk away.

There seems to be quite a few members.who are unaware of this forum ,when in conversation with them on sites!?🤔 While on my respite 👌

As an aside we have used Hillhead on several occasions and the approach route can be a nightmare or easy (much better since the new relief road was opened  so  about an hour from Exeter site is not to be unexpected  and if arriving 15mins early could be a good journey  it is not as if Hillhead is short of parking   unless it has been altered

Site managers can only use their discretion to a certain extent and if the club says to turn every early arrival away, then that's what they do.

The problem with a non uniform approach is that if people are given a concession on one site, they then expect the same leeway on every site.
