Officially gates have always opened at 8 but more often than not they open them early - Last year I got there at 7.40 and was parked 3 rows back , so today I got there at 7!!
The gates didn't open until 9 and 8.45 the police moved us all on as it's a clearway so said you can't park on the grass verge. So we all drove round the block and started the queue again!
When I did get in and asked what was going on I was told they have no medical cover until 9 and the police wouldn't let them open the gates.
Tomorrow the the Gates will not open until 9 again, so if you turn up early be prepared to be moved on!!
I will aim to get there 9 -9.15 how long it will take to get in is any bodies guess!!!
Edit: UKar reports that the police when leaving at 17.15 were adamant that the gates will not be open until 9 and they will not allow queueing on the road or grass verges!
