Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover
The music and venue were all good and was great to see these types of events in my home town. The only downside was queues for drinks. This took around 45 minutes to an hour for any type of drink throughout the day. More staff/additional stalls serving would have led to a better review and a lot more happier audience.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover
1 act didnt turn up so didnt get told. Pretty naff set up wasnt that loud. Venue was a shambles 1hr30 to get served at the bar even for bottles of water so missed 3 acts whilst queing. Venue wouldnt allow you to bring food in as they said they had multiple options of food vendors, this ended up being a sausage roll,pastie,hotdog,haribo,cadbury chocolate The exact stuff you get at half time at matches. All the stalls they said they would have wasnt there. Chris moyles does a 90 minute set where he talks through 80 of it. Was meant to be 90's music yet first half of acts was current music. Picked up a bit towards then end but Will be going for refund pretty shoddy job.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover
I would recommend the music all day long. There was every genre played for anyone who grew up in the 90's.
The day was let down by the venue. How a football club, who should be used to sizeable crowds on match days, could get it so wrong is unbelievable. Entry point (for VIP tickets) poorly advertised. The advertised selection of food was just 3 items, of which ran out and you then had to wait 30 mins to be cooked. The purchase and extra cost of VIP tickets was pointless as the main point of (us) buying these was private bar and exclusive toilets. The toilets were seemingly accessible to everyone, there was no one checking for toilet roll supplies, and you were lucky if you found a toilet that flushed. However, the main thing that ruined the day was the bar. I, and the group that I was with) have never been to an event/concert/gig where you have to wait over an hour for drinks. It should have been exclusive to VIP, but it felt that everyone was sold VIP tickets. 1 hour wait may sound like an exaggeration, but unfortunately it wasn't. The poor servers looked exhausted, they ran out of various spirits and beer, and everyone started to double up on drinks, just so not to have to queue twice, which subsequently made the queue longer. I don't know who thought having only 6 people serving on an event day was adequate, but they probably need a career change! I know a couple of people from my group missed some acts just by queuing for drinks which is really disappointing.
The day of music was brilliant, just massively let down by a football club.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover
Queues for drinks ruined the day for us! 1 hour 40 wait for drinks when we had paid for 'VIP' tickets is not acceptable and we missed a lot due to this. Atomic kitten not showing up was the icing on the cake so I went home.....otherwise great atmosphere and a fun day (when not queuing!!!!)

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover
Bands and artists were all good, one didn't turn up, not that didn't effect the day.
The venue needed to have more staff for drinks and make sure the correct people were going to the correct place, non VIP let into the VIP area, plus what happened to the stalls for food, there was 1. Other than that, good day out x
