Lovely job Frank , really enjoyable to watch and the perfect thing to whet one's appetite for the week ahead . I'm looking forward to seeing Mellors Magic .
I used to steward this fair when I worked for Octavian security and stewarding. All these rides were given specialty numbered plots and a map with numbered areas is sent out to all the showmen so that they know exactly where to go. This includes the caravans etc. During my time I saw a lot of this going on.
Some of the trailers are clearly a few hundred feet long and just when you think that it’s going to end there is a huge hobby caravan at the very back of the train!. I love some of the old vintage trailers with the chrome decoration and the old Foden generator tractor units, even some ERF rigs are pretty good but they have all got some serious style and they work hard to make sure that people have a good time. I don’t think people realise that they have homes and their fair is a seasonal thing and it’s not cheap to buy even an old maxwells waltzer and the fuel they have to go through to power the lights and engines?. I bet they are extremely expensive to buy outright
+Stuart Mckelvie Thanks Stuart, I had a brilliant weekend watching it all pop up. Happy to see the Huss Frisbee Testing too, I’ve just got to catch up on my sleep now
Does Billy Roberts still go the Nottingham goose fair with his Ghost Train..i remember Billy and his mrs (norma) When they come to newsham park every year in the school summer hoildays in the 1970s when i was a kid..i use to help them out..great days.
I always found it funny that the majority of British showmen are running around in 20+ year old trucks while their mates across the channel always seem to have much newer rigs.
Yes they don’t know!! Tonight breaking down working all night , drive to another place and build upp without sleep !! In the rain ,, sun ☀️ and keep on smiling ,, people don’t know ,, they must work 1 week they gone cry 😭

Over the years we have Shaws and silcocks in Thornton-Cleveleys.
I could watch this all day.
I just arrived at sheringham
Thanks for your message 😀
showmen are without a doubt the best lorry drivers there is
I do miss those carney days. Set up & slaugh down was the best part :)

Nice one mate, a real eye opener......diesel power.....thanks my friend.....Barry.....
looking 4ward to see the fair back in somerset next year.
Gonna be a very interesting year for Goosey this year. Quite a lot of first timers and those that haven't been there for a few years.
Indeed! Im glad part b has some Ariel rides this year, I found last year lacked a good machine to drag the punters down there. Will you be attending?
Fascinating stuff!
Cracking video very interesting watching the rides build up.

@@FranksFairgroundVideos is Frisbee back this year?
@@FranksFairgroundVideos and rock rage?
I have read online that neither Frisbee or Rock Rage is returning to Goose Fair 2019
Loving your work Frank!
+simon L Thanks Simon! I think I prefer doing this than when they’re open!
Seems like it takes forever to set up whilst you wait for the date that it’s open, but they seem to disappear overnight
They take a few hours to set up maybe like 5/6 hours for Extreme
How do they know where to set up once on the showground or are they told before they get there
Freddys revenge is Amazing but no way that can compete with ice jet that ride is on a other level
Nice video but shame it didn't show the complete building of a ride then just sped up to watch!
I've done build up and pull down in my time and yes it is very time consuming
Do u still do it?
I always found it funny that the majority of British showmen are running around in 20+ year old trucks while their mates across the channel always seem to have much newer rigs.
Yeah but uk has newer rides and better ones
I love the fairs
Who owns the big wheel?
Happy memories

Why speed xxl pulled down again. It’s built up in Nottingham funfairs video
They had built up 4ft in the wrong position so they had to move the ride so the Rodeo could fit in.
Will I see you there frank
I.am going to the goose fair tonight
You often see a major fair without a Tagada in the line up now a days.
+Stuart Mckelvie Tagada‘s are banned from Nottingham Goose Fair:)
