On no account must you upset the EOES as they are very sensitive to criticism I am at this very moment kowtowing to the EOES in deep regret for my frivolous suggestion. I do hope that I am not now banned from entering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are certainly unlikely to get a Burger should they decide to allow the vans in for the next meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even blame the promoter over this one because the venue is so strictly controlled. In a niche sport, anything can and does happen. Not really. Pretty basic stuff to have event catering at an event. It's somebody's fault that it wasn't there, even though the EoES call the shots on this as far as we know. Somebody who arrived early must have noticed. It's not the end of the world but unfortunately is a touch mickey mouse looking which is a tad unfair.

An explanation and a public apology would be the least the showground authority should be doing but I wouldn't hold my breath . They like the income they get from speedway but can't provide the services and think it's o/k . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Whatever the reason it seems clear that nobody from EOES deemed it necessary to inform Speedway. Seems fairly simple to say either we forgot to book in the catering or we could not get anyone to come given the amount we charge for the privilege . Speedway been totally wrong footed by either incompetence or arrogance. Again I ask why Speedway no longer allowed to use proper car park and turnstiles and why Bar (even the building) is opened at last moment and is understaffed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showground authorities will not respond they are a law unto themselves and treat speedway supporters like second class citizens . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been like that for the last 15 years but we were treated better when Bratley was doing the negotiating and then Frost/Mahoney/Oakes/Swales had the wads to get their way on plenty of occasions I'd imagine. It's only the last 5 years that the tide has changed for whatever reason and unhelpful issues occur on a more frequent basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 It now seems clear that Panthers have no intention of letting supporters know the reason for catering debacle at this meeting . Must assume EOES have again threatened to take their ball home if people are nasty to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just proves they don't care about those attending speedway meetings, accept what we have to offer and don't bother complaining because although we want the rental fee you accept it on our terms or lump it seems to be the attitude from showground management, when all was needed was a respectful apology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) This issue is small beer in view of present tribulations re Rye House and I am sure Panthers management have very valid reasons, but bearing in mind the wider speculation this has caused it is in my view entirely unacceptable that managements stance is that hope it just all goes away and we all bring flasks and sandwiches in future just in case. I believe that management were aware from early on that there would be no catering facilities on that day Edited June 28, 2018 by wealdstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
