Forums Forums Local News The Wirral Show is scrapped After 33 years

Never been to a wirral show-intention stages only. Looks like av dipped now, not bothered.
Seemed to commercial-and it really difficult to ride me bike thru the shite -the days following the w.s.

About time.. When i was a kid it was great, cheap and there where no issues but soon as i left school around 1998 it started to get dear and few attractions only and over time it was getting worse and worse this years one was a joke.. You needed a morgage to go.. So yes if it was redeveloped into something about the area then so be it.. But as i wont be attending a wirral show any time soon cause im thousands of miles away its a real shame it had to come to this but seriously it has gone down the swanny... Fill the dips in and build a Pleasure Beach type fair ground its big enough.. I know it'l never happen cause there bad in regards to flooding but that can be fixed with money... (Pokes WBC)

I think we should have one more Wirral show...once it's in full swing, drop a bomb..bob's your uncle back to square one, future wirral shows will be back to normal again, plus we are in need of a culling
early morning rant over.

In all fairness though I always deemed it to be a bit dodgy anyway. Those fair ground rides (sick intensifiers) are bad enough with the fact the pack in to a truck and drive off, but to be assembled on grass too.........

I thought when i first moved here the wirral show was good, i didnt go to last years one, but dont think i would go again.

It sounds like the funfair (shyte, expensive and full of chavs) and Wirral Show (local things for local people) have got lumped together over the years and the funfair has become the down fall of the local fayre. I've been 2 out of the 3 years I've been up here. It was OK although I did find the displays were almost the same both years.

Everytime I've been (three times briefly) I've been disappointed. It just seems to be chavs everywhere filling their faces with £5 burgers - none of which can be bothered putting their rubbish in the bin. Is this the best the Wirral can do?

Me and Kimpri were talking about this the other day and agreed that The Wirral Show should be about Wirral. It's got practically no relation to Wirral in its present form, it's just a commercialised money making scam, whether it be for the fairground, Vauxhall, or even charities.

Everything there, from food to ammusements is a total rip-off, and because of the general attractions nowadays, it mainly attracts the unsavoury types who would be better suited in HMP.

If they actually made it about Wirral, celebrating what Wirral stands for, achievements of Wirral people and Wirral organisations, raising awareness of Wirral's long and varied history etc, it wouldn't cost a fraction to stage, and it deffo would not attract the unsavoury types that you get there now.

Let Wiki run the feckin thing haha, the Wiki Wirral Show lmao.
