Best tip for York Races is to go in the course enclosure. Costs £7 and you can take as much beer and food in as you want. People take crates in, they don't bat an eyelid. Have your own BBQ and there's normally a game of 15 a side pissed up footy going on somewhere.
For a gang of lads, far better than the County Stand or Grandstand. No queuing up to pay £3.50 for a shit pint in a plastic glass. They have plenty of bookies, toilets etc. If you want a beer or burger there's no queues.
You get plenty of skirt (who'll be as pissed up as you, as they've had a gallon of wine) over there as well.
Obviously this is dependent on it not pissing down.
Hamilton Races for for me on Saturday night.
