Doesn’t make it any more palatable though. The car parks are better than they have been but I believe the one behind the back straight will never be done with tarmac or concrete as it belongs to the council and not the stadium. When it’s muddy and full of puddles after bad weather its not really good enough for a sports venue which asks for eighteen quid to get in. £20 now of you want to park your car and sit in the (not so) grandstand.

SteveLyric2 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Think yourselves lucky to only have to pay £1 to park on site. At some its been £2.50 for a while - none of which goes to the speedway club!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Looking at social media and reading the comments (and there isn’t many ) this drip feeding of announcements on the team to maximise interest in the media is having a near 100% negative affect . If social media is anything to go by fans are definitely losing interest 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havnt been to Saddlebow Road for years so has the muddy pot-holed car park been levelled and tarmaced? If so £1 would seem fair to me but not otherwise - the state of my car the last time I went some years ago is the reason I havnt been back since. Not forgetting that the charge (under Colin Horton, say no more squire) was originally sold as the club's contribution to the SRBF. That was soon forgotten as it was merged into running costs with the usual shambolic stadium collection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In stits and farts or more in the mode of a blind man letting the guide dog do his talking. In trying to make two steps forward he has taken five back. And as for knowing how to make his businesses work - we have no idea of knowing how KLS has been successful as the accounts are not visible. It will be the same at his new clubs, Ipswich and Peterborough. Buster's great skill seems to be in persuading well-heeled sponsors to believe in his "vision". Not in building up the average attendance or attracting the missing new generation of supporters. Which is vital if UK speedway as a whole is to prosper or even survive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Danny Connor said: Charging for the parking has pissed me off a bit. I’m not one of the guys who moans often and I don’t value the oppinions of those who don’t go but moan daily as equal to those that attend regularly. So don’t get this post mixed up with those guys. This is an attendance increase. The car park isn’t owned by a 3rd party so it’s a bit of a con really. I suggest nobody parks in the car parks until the charge is lifted. It’s only full when we have the big meetings. Charging a hidden charge like this will alienate current fans. If your going to make an increase then do it as the admittance. Its a bit of a slap in the face for the regular attendees. I’ve not read it myself yet though so if it’s a misunderstanding then all is ok. If it is real though then it’s pretty delusional. I can take the slow anouncemnts even though itsucks the fun out of it. I can take the poor entertainments meetings as it’s sport not entertainment. I can even take the ridiculous tractor grading to keep the track in great condition. but charging for the car park is a spit in the face really as it makes the poor value for money product that speedway is as even less value for money. Terible choice. It’s another straw on my camel back. deflating If you feel that strongly, organise a protest. Get everyone to enter the car park offering a £20 note for the parking fee. I guess the ensuing chaos might be the only think the promotion will take notice of Personally I think it will be chaotic at the first meeting anyway as this has not been well advertised (making no comment ) so many won't have change ready to hand and queues will build.

You don't have to park in Poole stadium car park either you can park in a side road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me it’s because they don’t know what they are doing. They may think they are being tantalising and clever but the strange way the KL promotion is going they will kill off any bit interest there might be in KL or speedway. ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
