Means I have little chance of attending, unless I buy 6 or 4 tickets. Doubt single or double tickets will go on sale meaning many fans could miss out. Good that they are going to try and live stream it though. I think that will be my option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Many fans go on their own and meet up with the same bunch every year. Have done for many years. Regulars are going to crap out because they are the only ones in their household who go. Not a fair method at all. How about offering single tickets to fans who wish to stand on the first bend? I had no issues buying at ticket for next weeks Plymouth v Poole meeting in the main stand. Edited May 18, 2021 by Steve Shovlar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KN1 Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Who’s to say this is the club’s decision, perhaps this is Osbourne and the councils, at least it’s only one meeting providing the government stick to opening up the country, at least speedway is back at Poole that is the main part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Well It’s groups of 6 on the bends as well on bubbles, so I have a choice. 1. Pay £108 to watch the meeting. (Price of 6 tickets) 2. Stay at home and forget about it. 3. Buy 6 tickets and tout 4 outside to strangers and sell one to my mate. 4. Find 4 others who are willing to PayPal me the price of a ticket which will be picked up from me at the gate or posted to them. At least this way singles will get it to the meeting.

Are they not just catering for families? And how many times do people say that kids are the future and looks like they are going for family groups.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever has decided this is the way forward has, in my opinion, got it completely wrong. I would urge those that do make them look at the way Plymouth have done it. It is so, so simple and from personal experience, very effective. Not going down well with those Ive spoken to either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Most over 50's have had the vaccine now and I think the uptake in the SW is 91/92% going by the news last night so as long as people in that age group can show they have had the vaccine can they not stand together?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again you show total disregard for the rules laid down by the "decision makers" who are doing this in the interests of the safety of the majority . It is just another indication of your selfishness & complete lack of concern for others, almost as bad as your rants over brexit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your call Steve but I completely understand why Poole are doing it this way to maximise income from a very limited capacity. If they sell a single £18 ticket in a block that’s £90 income lost to them (and a further 84% reduction in capacity). As for the difference with Plymouth, I don’t know but might it be because of the inside accommodation at Poole? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Personally I think its a great shame not to be able to call on 5 others from your bubble/2 households! What we don't know is who set the 30% capacity? I can't imagine it was Matt/Danny!! So some fans will unfortunately be unlucky for hopefully this one meeting. Lets not forget that more stadium stewards will be required - probably as a condition of the Council - plus the question of who pays for them? Also still no clarification about the glass grandstand/bars/restaurant/loos etc? Still more info to come in 48 hours....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 If the rules are changing in June to open up, surely it’s better to cancel this meeting completely and put it back to when the stadium can fully re-open. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
