We went to this on the Friday, I've never seen it so busy and lacking major stalls. Was disappointed as this was the 4th year we had been and didn't live up to the hype this time. Hope you enjoyed it yourself

Apparently this was the biggest one ever by attendance. Friday, most people rush to roam the expo, less in the dedicated playing and activity areas, which may explain why it was super crowded, though at lunchtime and later in the afternoon one could still get some periods of dilution. In any case, great to see the interest rising in the public. I hope you will keep attending the event in the years to come, and I am sure the organisers will adapt to the evolving interest in the hobby.

@@aleksahak That makes a lot of sense, always love going, id be interested to see if they include another hall next year or something as it was impossible to move (As you said, probably due to the attendance) I may try it again next year but honestly it felt underwhelming, expensive (Almost £20 parking) that and dodging backpacks are giving me PTSD

what day was this taken as I was there on the Saturday and i was only able to shuffle due to the crowd being extreme. Next year I must go on the day this was filmed, thanks

@davidhughes1843 Friday and Saturday. On both days, towards late afternoon, but also earlier, you could catch less crowded periods.
