They’ve leaned nothing from 20+ Years of being on TV They're not the panacea we think they are though are they, u can't take them off last min cos they are huge, they need to be sealed so water doesn't run underneath in patches, you need to have fantastic drainage on the inside of the track etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the last time that was used was the elite riders championship at Birmingham, it worked well but think H&S stopped it being used, something to do with the amount of big gas bottles or something.

Dodger Blue Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 I may be wrong but the ticket re-admission seems completely cock-eyed to me! If I am correct you can use the ticket from this meeting on any other meeting apart from bank holiday. In the current climate of restricted crowd numbers how on earth are they going to know how many people are going to turn up for a future meeting? If they have sold 80% capacity for the Kings Lynn home fixture already there can be no idea how many others are going to turn up using re-admission tickets! Surely a better system would be tickets are only to be used for the re staging or a refund , at least you know how many tickets are sold for each meeting ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it's a designated seat with social distancing restrictions around it.. It could be sold again at the next meeting and two people have the same seat.. Add in another rain off and three people might have the same seat.. Be like a circus balancing act... Let's hope all have had both vaccines..

Trees Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hmmmm luckily Peterborough don't have booked seats as such do they, it's free for all. Maybe they need a way of swopping a rain off ticket for the meeting you want to use it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 and maybe that's why we will never know .... the maximum crowd capaicty of these "stadia" .... how many tickets they have actually sold for each match Keep it a secret and how could anyone possibly dispute the numbers being submitted to local autorities, HMRC etc. etc. ?????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
