Here is the map, sorry about the size. The main entrance is in the middle at the bottom with the Track and Trace area straight in front.

Our pitch is the second along on the bottom, so once you are in turn first right, first right  and then straight ahead.

This year we do not have a rear entrance so all vehicles have to enter from the front which means we will have to leave an access road down the side next to the Victor/Cresta stand to allow access to the parking area at the back for the non Cavalier parking and tents etc.

This is a big site so its difficult to judge the real size of everything, comparing it to the google Maps image of the airfield our stand might be bigger than at Billing.

SYWELL UPDATE RE ACCESS TIMES

On Sat/Sun the gates are open from 8am and on all days closed at 9pm.

NEW THIS YEAR Outside those hours there is NO entry/exit due to Covid, due to the lack of manpower to do Track and Trace.

So don't drive to the nearest pub to watch an 8 o'clock kickoff football match!!! You won't get back in.

Hope you have read the site rules as well.

[GreyDJ2]

Our Sywell stand size is 50x35 meters. Over 1200 square meters. We should fit into it OK

As a Club member you can park on our stand, at the back with the non Cavaliers.  When driving on the site the speed limit is 5mph as there are likely to be lots of pedestrians around. VBOA want to try and minimise car movements between 10 and 4.

 members with non mk2s will still have to be corralled into one area on our stand or behind the tents IF space becomes an issue, even making room if we suddenly got flooded with Cavs, but as John says, we should be Ok!

Shouldn't be necessary with the number of us expected.

Its a good job its only Ukraine. I expect you'll be watching it on a tablet!

[benz]

Oh, looks like I best find an umbrella!

[andy]

When I looked earlier, BBC said 22 degrees and thunder, Google says 18 degrees and solid rain. I'll take the BBC.. even at 20 degrees..

 

[GreyDJ2]

Forecast is definitely now mixed but at least it won't be cold. Seems to be bands of rain passing through. This part of the country often has the rain clouds passing over it without dropping any. Fingers crossed. At least zero chance of flooding like at Billing.

[chris m]

After that event John,  any rainfall will seem minor.

[mark - back on the road]

Guys have a great weekend.. hope the weather holds out.. am truly gutted that am not attending.

@GreyDJ2John, is there anywhere to watch the Lions on Saturday?  I think its on sky....but be good to not leave the site to watch if needs be.

Might be able to get a skygo account working......but power or TV might be an issue?  @andythoughts please?

i have one of those invertor gadgets that turns 12v into 240v and a couple of large car batteries and a 32 inch lcd tv i could bring for the game

If someone can bring a smart TV with iPlayer installed, that doesn't consume hundreds if watts continuously ( i.e. it's A rated), I have a battery pack which can run a 240v TV for a good few hours.

No need for lead acid batteries then Ken!

Someone would then just share WiFi too it...

My bigger concern would be keeping it all dry as forecast saying heavy rain.... / Thunder.... club Gazebo is only 3x3!

If it really will pour, 5v- 12v devices will be safer from a club liability point of view... But option is there!
