old bob at herne bay Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 If only half the stadium is open - this will reduce the maximum crowd capacity , and pro rata reduce the maximum crowd permitted under the 50% of the max capacity rule under the Covid 19 rules for sporting events. You have to have the whole blinking stadium open to allow for social distancing , not just huddle them all together ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what will Wolves do then as they are always squished together on the backstraight? Officially what is Poole allowed? About 3k? So that will be about 1500 crowd?

ray c Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I think most of the supporters at poole are more concerned of facilities and admissions prices before how many can attend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume still negotiating with the stadium owners as to what facilities will be open in case there is an effect on capacity/attendance which may also affect prices?! Lets not forget the main reason for dropping to Championship level is to recoup some of the financial losses from 2019!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishRoundabout Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I’ve worked in the H&S area, specifically in Swindon. The Premiership final match between Swindon and Wolves at Blunsdon in 2011 ( I think) the crowd was hugely overestimated by most people. But in essence it was heavily restricted to around 3000. Id be amazed if Poole was anything more than 3000. The 4000/5000 figures are very unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be amazed if Poole was anything more than 3000. The 4000/5000 figures are very unlikely. The actual capacity is over 4000, BUT for H&S purposes for example the main (old) grandstand has a maximum seated capacity of 1400 but is reduced to a H&S limit of 1200, so 3900 or thereabouts is accurate imo, although if 'social distancing' is still an issue then who knows?! Also if for any reason the newer glass stand (with entrances/exits, bars, restaurant, seating and loos) is NOT open then the capacity will reduce dramatically and I would question both the practical and financial the viability! However the latest statement by Danny Ford yesterday is more than encouraging and as expected the club is waiting for final clarity from local and national government as to the permitted attendance levels and conditions. He has confirmed that those holding 2020 Season Ticket holders will be guaranteed admission along with all new season ticket applications as soon as capacities and pricing are confirmed. As with other clubs there will also be a system of advance ticket purchase. First home meeting still confirmed as the return KOC fixture v Plymouth on 26th May. (although the previous Wednesday 19th is reserved - presumably for P&P or a challenge?) Edited April 11, 2021 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Already got my tickets for Plymouth and Eastbourne away. These two meetings are advance online tickets only, with no pay on the gates. So it wouldn’t surprise me that Poole follow suit and you pay online and print off tickets. Then a simple scan on the gate and you are in. Another advantage is that once the 1500 tickets (as an example) are sold, that’s it. No point turning up hoping for access, and it means no upsetting fans by turning them away at the gate. If there are long queue sirs a covid risk. Online means you can stroll up one minute before tapes up knowing you will get into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 fully understand all your points re online ticket sales only and if each match is a "sell out" then its best way to go,however if all tickets are not sold then you need "walk up"" on the day sales.The occasional follower or holidaymaker is not going to bother with online purchase but the promotion cant afford to lose these customers(supermarkets have happily taken our money at the checkout). On another note i just hope the bcp council plays ball and is not to awkward,think the old poole council would have been right behind the speedway but not sure about the bournemouth and christchurch mob!!

scottyfan Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 With the “South African” variant coming back into play and undoubtedly the “Brazilian “ variant will rear its ugly head again too, I still can’t see there being any league speedway in the UK this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
