Michael,
The Magnet Cup York meeting is very different from the August Ebor meeting. The 'informal party highlight of the year' is a euphemism for busloads of inebriated Yorkshiremen attempting to wreak havoc.
John Smith's is a brewery and in the past they have organised bus trips from local pubs. The plentiful supply of the sponsor's product coupled with soccer fans looking for another way to spend a Saturday (it's the close season in the UK) can be a potent mix.
It's not a day for the faint-hearted.
George
