As some will no I’m a cricket fan as well and a member at Trent Bridge- speedway could learn so much about customers service from Trent Bridge from official stewards to box office staff to catering staff they can’t do enough for you as a fan you feel valued they email fans before games about how the club is looking forward to our visit and by the time we get home there is another email saying hope you enjoyed your visit and please let’s us no if there is anything that can be done to improve the match day experience- ok two different sports one cash rich the other not in the same financial league but speedway is up against sports like this and the difference to how fans customers are treated is vast . For me it’s all about being valued as a fan rather than being taken for granted. 

I personally can’t complain about the service of marshals box office or catering staff although the one thing that does pee me off is that the club charges 50p to pay for your ticket using a debit card something I’ve never come across in my life. 

The rest of your post was spot on but I can see this area being improved with Robin Brundle now on board, let’s hope so anyway.

I thought the idea of even charging a fee for using a credit card has now been made illegal.

Only valid on transactions after Jan 13th 2018, a good change in the law.  The only trouble now is are those companies that did a lot of business that way going to just increase the basic price for all to pay.

I’m not complaining about catering staff or stewards at KL  the point I’m making Notts county cricket club can’t do enough for there customers/  fans-  right from the top to the bottom they are there to make your day special, even today I’ve had a email about pre season trip for the squad . My point is speedway in general and KL speedway are competing for my £s with Trent Bridge and Notts at the moment win hands down as you say Brundle may make all the difference fingers crossed.

Customer service give a company the opportunity to turn a negative into a positive. Do the job correctly you have the chance to keep that customer for life, plus the spin off when that customer tells other people ( word of mouth, social media) how well they were treated.

It’s really not rocket science 

 

 

Exactly...   Another grip of mine is the 'PIT STOP' café'   Am I the only on to notice that the prices go up for Speedway and Stockcar meetings.    When you use the café during the week the prices are substantially lower.   I understand the logic of a captive audience , but if you wish to look after your supporters the last thing you want to do is rip them off   

If the prices are adequate to make the Café viable during the working day,   then why would it be necessary to increase them when you have a far bigger custom base....

Wasn’t saying that you were complaining about them, sorry if my post insinuated that but that was not my intention.

I bought my tickets for Notts  game against Worcestershire in the 20/20 big bash in August so I’ll let you know if they aren’t as customer friendly as you say, but in my past experiences with similar such clubs I would be surprised if it wasn’t.

Webbo.  After paying over inflated admission fee followed by an over priced programme I wouldn’t dream of paying inflated prices for ‘food’ from a greasy spoon.  Are you some kind of masochist?:D

 That's just it,    in fear of being ripped off I'd rather go without.   After paying £1 of a coffee at dinner time,    I'll be damned to pay £1.50 for the same drink in the evening..

This is a problem with many sporting events.They know when they have a crowd they can charge more unfortunately.A bit like holidays,they know they can charge more when the kids are off school.Many restaurants will offer discounts but not on a Saturday.When these places know there will be crowds they know they can charge more.The only thing that could probably stop it is if none of us punters buy anything.Personally i very rarely buy anything,if you can't go a couple of hours without food or drink there must be a problem.I do sometimes have a pint of shandy which is priced ok:D
