Thanks for clarifying. I was hoping to pay with some magic beans when I came up to 4 point road later in the season but will have to make do with cash instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Rich Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 As well as the option to buy tickets online, how about being able to pay for admission at the stadium with a debit/credit card? I am assuming it is still cash only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Really surprised there are still any tracks not selling tickets or admission by card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a pop at Poole only, this is a general point where speedway needs to get with the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Weird one. Poole is cash only One of the dearest in the league to bring a family with kids to. The best supported. The most successful. Well sponsored. Can't afford Kevlars or shale.. Is it a case of deep pockets and short arms ??

OveFundinFan Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 How accepting cash only is so out of line with spending today. I am 72 so supposedly an old fuddy duddy in many peeps eyes. But very rarely do i spend cash. I do usually carry about £20 in notes, plus couple one pound coins, one or two 50p's and couple of 20p's, but that is usually spent on car parking. More or less everything else is by card. Very rarely write a cheque, couple a year. Its so convenient just to pop the card on the card machine if under £30, sometimes I have problem remembering the pin when over £30, but thats because I have 2 cards to remember pins. But if I had a family going to speedway I couldnt be put up with having £50 cash to pay. It in itself will be a put off for the younger generations. Why would any modern day sporting facility want to collect loads of cash. Cash will slow down turnstiles, and certainly be a security risk. It all has to be added up at the end of a meeting, and kept secure. I wont go into obvious reason why cash is king. Do riders get paid cash, some will be earning over £1000 per meeting even in the UK. Surely they don want that sort of money on them. Not forward thinking by promotors if you ask me. Terrible decision is cash only. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
