点评:On holiday in Yorkshire so, on a beautiful sunny day, decided to visit Thirsk racecourse for their season's 'finale'.
Bought tickets over the phone and started the long trip from Whitby.
Arrived some two and a half hours later and collected the tickets from the desk.. only to be told that we wouldn't be allowed into the Premier enclosure as we weren't in the 'correct attire'?
As it was incredibly hot and sunny I wore a smart sweatshirt and pressed tailored shorts... my partner/carer (I'm disabled) was beautifully dressed.
I questioned the attendants comment and he said we should have been told when purchasing tickets re dress code?... we were not.
However, unlike others in the same situation who turned around and drove away, we decided to proceed.
As we attempted to enter various bars and eating/seating places, we were very rudely denied as, 'no collar and tie, no entry'!
There were around 50% of other males within these areas who also didn't have ties nor jackets, merely un-ironed scruffy polo shirts hanging outside of their trousers!
As other non Premier areas were quite a distance, (which I find difficult), we left after the second race... somewhat disillusioned and extremely disappointed.
I frequent many racecourses regularly, mainly Grade 1 tracks (Ascot, Sandown Park, Cheltenham etc) with no question whatsoever about dress code. However, this Grade 3 venue decided to deny us access.
Outrageous.
翻译:在约克郡度假,所以在一个阳光明媚的日子,决定去瑟斯克赛马场观看他们本赛季的“决赛”。
通过电话购买门票,从惠特比开始了漫长的旅程。
大约两个半小时后到达,从柜台领取门票……却被告知我们不允许进入 Premier 围场,因为我们没有穿着“正确的服装”?
因为天气非常炎热和阳光明媚,我穿了一件漂亮的运动衫和熨烫过的定制短裤……我的伴侣/护理员(我是残疾人)穿得很漂亮。
我质疑服务员的评论,他说我们在购买门票时应该被告知着装要求?……我们没有。
然而,与其他处于同样境地的人转身开车离开不同,我们决定继续前进。
当我们试图进入各种酒吧和餐饮/座位时,我们被非常粗鲁地拒绝了,说“没有领带,不能入内”!
这些区域内大约有 50% 的其他男性也没有领带或夹克,只是裤子外面挂着未熨烫的破旧 Polo 衫!
由于其他非 Premier 区域距离较远(我觉得这很难),我们在第二场比赛后就离开了……有点失望和极度失望。
我经常去很多赛马场,主要是一级赛道(阿斯科特、桑当公园、切尔滕纳姆等),对着装要求没有任何疑问。然而,这个三级赛马场却拒绝我们进入。
太离谱了。
