Leeds grandad Darren Gibson has vowed to never return to Wetherby Racecourse after he was "refused entry" with cash. He's fumed the only way he could enter was with a contactless or online payment but he'd lost his bankcard and "doesn't do online".
The 56-year-old said the staff member he spoke to acted “snotty" and "stuck up”, refusing to budge. The Seacroft man then stated the racecourse was run by a “dictatorship” enforcing rigid rules designed to “embarrass” the older generation.
Wetherby Racecourse's Chief Executive Jonjo Sanderson pointed out the contactless entry system has been in place for a year, so finds it "hard to believe" a regular visitor would be "surprised" by this.
