Something has to give? Edited February 22, 2019 by Speedtiger 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if I read too much into it but in the Tru Plant article for Ipswich, they mentioned they listed their help for 2019 as Jason Doyle and one other rider but didn't name them - someone for Lynn? I think it's Ty Proctor Edit.. Just checked and he was one of the riders mentioned. Dunno then Edited February 22, 2019 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always park on the industrial estate at Kings Lynn which is free. You don't have to park in Poole stadium car park either you can park in a side road. I always use the industrial estate. Easier to get away after the meeting.. I don't think a pound is bad. Maybe make it free for disabled and blue badge holders, so they don't have to walk far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I do have to park there as I'm not able to walk very far these days, hence I get there quite early in order to guarantee a space.

tellboy Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I don't really like the charge for car parking but i'm not totally against it.I'm with Bagpuss and expected it a few years ago anyway.People won't like the charge,who does like paying extra.But it would bring us in line with many clubs who have been charging years,and more than £1.You go to many sporting events and they will charge you for parking and you could put an extra digit in front of that £1 too. On a side note it's cost me £16 this last couple of weeks in charges for 4 appointments at the QE hospital.Now that gets my goat charging poorly people to park.

Sorry but you can not be happy with the way BV is being run and promoted. The NSS is without doubt the best speedway facility in the UK and they have done precisely nothing with it exept lose half the crowd and, by all accounts, a shed load of money. Great business plan that is, in 5 years they will have lost well over a £1m...the incompetent Mr Smith may be happy with the plan...because it’s not his money?

Free parking for disabled and blue badge holders wouldn't go a amiss. Poole seem to take the pee a bit. Under 16's free at Lynn as well and people are still moaning at a pound parking for 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
