Whether people like it or not Netley is a Thursday and Friday event. I got there Thursday and all the bargains were being snapped up before the gates opened on Friday, and then everything else went. Friday is still a work day for most people so the only thing you can do is have a day off work if you want a chance of getting anything. It suites me fine like this but if they want to make it a weekend event, don't open the gates until Saturday.
I went to Beaulieu last year and was surprised at the lack of bike parts, I much prefer Netley
There was one other factor this year, the Dorset steam fair at Blandford was also on that weekend, which is another massive event.
