Robinh88 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 The new way of admitting elderly fans into sports stadia, was always going to be problematic. Hopefully a resolution can be struck that is amicable for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 So will Birmingham be the first victim of the sport's general failure in cultivating a younger audience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 We wont have been helped in the eyes of the Council with the disgusting scenes at Edgbaston the other night when Cricket allowed 1500 drunken students in and they invaded to Pitch. That will put Sports back under scrutiny of those in Council who clearly have no interest in Speedway at all. The other worry is how long will our Team be willing or able to sit around waiting for earning opportunities in what's peak season now with no real hope of any Home Meetings for best part of another month. They are self employed sportsmen and need to earn a living. I'm probably not the only one who has heard rumblings about a few possibly moving out to Clubs who can offer chances and slots. I'm sure Bomber will be getting calls and a few of the others. Hope that Peter and David can get the support they need from the Council and all Brummies fans before it's too late.

If and it's a big if , let's hope all restrictions are lifted on the 19th July and our sport can return to normal and all clubs can look forward to fans coming back.

mikebaker Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Do any Brummies fans know. If there will be a partial reduction in price for the re arranged KO Cup meeting. I have emailed Laurence Rogers. But as yet, have not received a reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought as it was abandoned it would have been a re-admission, but I'm just assuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 The message from their last couple of press releases suggest that every penny counts. The Brummies are the ones asking for charity on their Just Giving web page. I wouldn't hold my breath for charity to come the other way.

It shouldn't be seen as charity, it would be in the t's&C's of the ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Probably not the best fixture to K.O with....but at least it will give some of the lads who haven't been riding regularly, some track time. Not sure why fans would be asking for a reduced admission? thought the cut-off for refunds was 'Heat 6' ? We need to get behind the promoters.....can't take anything for granted!

I will gladly pay FULL price and think of my Club a bit more than myself on this occasion. Hopefully 700 or more think the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Should be a £1 discount according to the rules. Surely you kind folk can let them off, considering the clubs circumstances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebaker Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I have had a response from Laurence Rogers. The rules do state that partial refunds should be given. I am a Redcar supporter, and have purchased 4 tickets for the re-arranged fixture. Hopefully justice prevails, and we earn our way through to defend our 2019 KO Cup success.

I'll pay again no problem and I'm sure the hardcore will, but it's the silence majority you have to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall one Brummies fan choosing to drive to Leicester all season when the re-opened, instead of following the Brummies, just to save £1 a week on his admission. No doubt those eager to save 100 pennies will also print out their own race cards so that they won't need to buy a programme too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just read the Birmingham article in speedway star about fans over 60 not being computer minded, not sure about that. I'm 60 and was online 1 second after the Wolves tickets went on sale for the next meeting. Not a problem , took minutes on the phone to order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
