AM I THE MAISON BLANCHE CHOSEN ONE?

[Paddy_NL]

Speaking with the ACO today they said that anyone who has been booking with them for 20 Years will get their allocation.

So what about the Liverpool Boys then?

this will be the 17th year ive bought tickets from the ACO though,so i think i deserve to be on the list

PM

That doesn't work either - we've been booking direct for 22 years.

And Lorry is out too, while Powermite gets his tickets with `only` seventeen years on the counter.
So they´re selling bullsh!t

[IanB]

The Liverpool boys will be on Blue Nord,cos we accept

with good grace that the fact is that the French have

no organisational skills ( as proved in the 1940s )and

cannot get anything right EVER, Hey! we are only in our

20th year of supporting this event,Speaking personally

if it wasn't for the other Brits, Dutch and American friends

that we meet on a field in France  we would BBQ in Liverpool

and forget about subsidising Brittany Ferries Carrefour,Auchan,

local bars etc,etc

[DelBoy]

I've only been pre-ordering the tickets since the mid 90's as before that, you just turned up and paid the man at the entrance to (whichever) campsite.

The fact that I've been going to La Sarthe since 1965 doesn't seem to count........

They are just a bunch of spineless turncoats that will tell anyone what they want to hear to keep them quiet then change the game as soon as it suits them and f**k everyone else as long as the are OK, they've been pulling that stunt for centuries. A bunch of unwashed garlic munching retard cowards that will sell you down the road with as smile as happily as they would shake your hand and then stab you in the back and at the same time calling themselves resistance fighters. c**ts

So we are on Blue Nord instead of the hallowed ground of MB, I am gutted but am of the frame of mind of well lets give it a go and see what Blue Nord is like. I agree that the ACO could not organise a piss up in a brewrey as far as looking after the thousands of people who visit and camp each year and have done like Del and others from the mid sixties, some in are group have been each year since the late eighty's.

We as a group have never taken more space than we have had tickets for, most years we have given away space to late comers, but this year we will take what we have paid for, if we need it or not. With such a vast reduction in camping space you can just see all the agro with the security monkeys insisting you stay within your spec, well this year I say f*ck them, one peice of advice is to take your invoice to prove how many spaces you have payed for, it does help when trying to explain to the garlic smelling apes that your mate does not arrive until later in the week and the space for him is yours.

Paddy, I am made up that you have got sorted on MB, and no dout we will visit you to enjoy your hospitality again this year as you and drinking for Holland are welcome to some Low Flyers at camp Liverblue Boys.

[Robspot]

welcome to some Low Flyers at camp Liverblue Boys.

Surely you should be called the Everton Boys now

Absolutely no problem whatsoever! My guess is the Friday night Party would be rather dull without Club Arnage, we're picking up the plan again to get an exclusive gadget for the Friday Party which will entitle to entrance and drinks.
We had serious doubts about throwing the party on Bleu Nord due to non-CA'ers and non-DfH'ers wandering around on the Friday evening having nothing to do and wanting to join in. As we will be on MB now, we can go ahead as originally planned. It might be a bit more of an exclusive party though, we probably have space only for a maximum of 250 people...
Details to follow after Sebring

I had my ACO letter yesterday and it's Blue Nord for us too. Team Zarse are evicted from MB, and it's a bloody outrage! I've been on the list for years and now this! I even went and told the Commer who is, naturally enough, catatonic with fury and indignation at the humiliation of being relegated to the humble confines of Blue. Rest assured the relevant curses have been laid against the ACO.

Time does not permit me to enter into yet another anti-french tirade, needless to say, I would happily add paragraph after paragraph to Rusty's eloquence above.

Oh well, I suppose we are all just going to have to make the best of it, Blitz spirit and all that. Perhaps a little CA encampment in that concrete triangle on the aerial photo, might be fun?

[MIKE C (Liverpool Boys)]

Andy, You could paint The Gimp blue and call him the Blue Zarse Fly

[mgmark]

I should imagine that the sight of the Commer rising from her winter slumber was awesome.  I wouldn't want to be in the ACO's shoes when she gets there in June.

Trust me to be out of the way :lol: ill be keeping my eye out for the gimp and any CA flags, shirts etc to say hello

Nice rant Bri  Not so sure i like the sound of The Liverblue Boys part though 

My only real concern now that we know we're being punted to BN is security for the likes of friday night and race days when most of us go walk about and wont be anywhere near our tents???

Jimmy may have to bring the sledge hammer out of retirement

The postie was very late today - 4 pm. However he had my letter from the ACO.

I usually get 10 camping and 6 entry tickets, way more than I ever need now. So as it's a big expense that I could do without at this time of year, I reduced it to 3 on this year's request and included it in the "Termie" heap. I did not put a second choice campsite.

So in today's post the ACO are offering me my usual - 10 camping and 6 entry - but in Blue Nord! They have quoted my regular booking number, and kindly have given me ACO prices, even though my membership lapsed last May or thereabouts.

To me, this seems like the ACO haven't yet reached the start of the pile.

Maybe I'll get another allocation...

[Piglet]

I wonder just how small MB is going to be if they are bouncing "magic listers" off it? 

At least it sounds like you haven't lost your magic list status Smokie - even if it's less useful if you're being given Bleu Nord!
