Birmingham Future In Doubt ? Alan Phillips Has Had Enough!


Recommended Posts

A tad harsh, Arthur. I'm sure it was the far-fetched suggestion that "weekly payers" from Perry Barr be allowed in free to Brandon that confused Mr Watson.

But if you re-read the first of Starman2006's posts about "weekly payers", there was never any suggestion that this category should also be let in to Brandon free of charge ... instead, just the phrase "some sort of offer" was used as a way of pointing out that maybe it's in Coventry's interest to encourage all of Birmingham's supporters along to the Bees' meetings.

 

All Neil Watson then did was admit confusion and ask for an explanation of the "weekly paying" reference ... if someone in his position within speedway needs any explanation or clear-up of so basic a reference, I stand by my earlier comment that it's staggering ignorance on his part.

I'm bemused now.... We've recognised that season ticket holders have paid up front for their speedway and have offered to make them welcome at Brandon without paying twice. 'Weekly payers' by definition haven't paid in advance but are welcome to pay weekly at Brandon moving forward!

Agreed, but it would be good if you could extend something to those loyal fans that kept the club afloat. As i said, swings and roundabouts and all that..

It is far-fetched. Utterly unworkable.

Perhaps you would like to tell use why its un-workable, in plain English please.

And you wonder why when you have shortsighted people like you around. At the rate your talking and many others on here give it 18 months and there will be no EL to bother about. But i don't expect any support..

Maybe you should engage your brain cell before making ridiculous suggestions.. :icon_smile_clown:

How would you work out that they were loyal ?

Why don't you explain how it is workable? In words of two syllables please.

Ive already explained that, try reading the posts instead of just jumping on the post.. Here come the Trolls, time to go...

I'd say the onus is on you to say why it could be workable!

 

Edit: You say you've explained that - but apart from mentioning "some sort of ID" I can't see a practcal suggestion.

Just heard Gramah Dury on wm he stated the club was run by people who did not know what they were doing,if that was the case why did he leave and make them struggle on alone.

Deflecting the attention away from the shockingly poor side he picked maybe?

I'm bemused now.... We've recognised that season ticket holders have paid up front for their speedway and have offered to make them welcome at Brandon without paying twice. 'Weekly payers' by definition haven't paid in advance but are welcome to pay weekly at Brandon moving forward!

It's called "speculating to accumulate" and if you (or anyone else at the Bees) can't recognize one of the most obvious circumstances speedway could encounter of this simple economic principle, then you're well and truly in the dinosaur age down at Brandon.

 

Less than 20 miles away from Brandon, despite what were clearly dwindling attendances at Perry Barr, there are still several hundred "weekly paying" Brummie fans who suddenly in mid-season have no team of their own to follow but might be a bit more tempted to (at least temporarily) switch their support to Coventry if the mildest of sweeteners were pushed their way by the Bees.

 

All Starman2006 was suggesting (and has explained further since) was "some sort of offer" ... for example, how about nominating one Coventry home meeting in a few weeks' time where anyone who brings along 3 different Brummie programmes from this season gets £2 off admission along with that night's programme free of charge.

 

Ok, on that night some Coventry regulars might be able to save a few quid off what they'd normally give you if they can cobble together the required Brummie programmes without having been to Perry Barr themselves.

 

But surely that modest downside is worth risking for the PR-upside of the Bees being seen to have considered all of Birmingham's supporters (not just the relatively modest number of season-ticket holders because speedway doesn't have the same season-ticket culture attached to football in particular), the financial upside of still getting significant gate receipts from the Brummie fans who take up that offer ... and, most of all given the Brummies look most likely to settle for Premier League status if any revival happens at all, encouraging the current Brummie fans to make future visits to Coventry if their own team's once again in a different league to Coventry from 2015 onwards.

 

And I doubt many of Coventry's "weekly payers" will complain about still having to pay full price that night compared to Birmingham's "weekly payers" if it's properly explained in advance that this is a one-off marketing gesture reflecting the horrible situation at Perry Barr.

 

Your reaction to all of this so far ... confusion ... then bemusement.

 

Better stick to chatting with your pterodactyl and stegosaurus pals, hadn't you ? !!
