Would you expect them to pay or to get a free Pass. I'm sure that they would be flocking back to Birmingham or even extending their visits after the Commonwealth Games to stay on and watch some Speedway??..

Why are you constantly looking for obscure excuses not to get a crowd into your local club, that have been in trouble since the very start of the season (and last season)? These are athletes not prisoners, it doesn't matter if they don't return once they've gone home, you just get them through the doors! I'm sure they'll all have a bit of cash on the hip or packages could have been offered to each of the national athletics bodies or the organisers, they'll have money to p1ss away. Doesn't really matter what the quality of the line-up was there's more than enough British, Australian & NZ riders based in this country to put a line-up together... it's the tie in to the games that is the selling point not the meeting. But no, you continue to sit there and think up of reasons why things shouldn't be done, continue to watch in front of crowds of 300 and enjoy the last match on the 10th as it may be your last... which would be a shame after all of the effort that went into getting the Brummies back on track again.

The Dog Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Think you'll find nearly all league fixtures finish around the same time (apart from play offs) indeed Leicester last championship meeting is the 24th of July with their last Summer Trophy on the 6th of August. Unless you want to watch the National League which you have absolutely no interest in Mr B..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it was for the Lions match at Perry Barr (card payment) on……1st June, over 5 weeks ago! Is this a reflection on banking transaction times or slacking on the Brum promotion? If it’s the latter, no wonder they struggling to stay out of the brown stuff. I booked tickets online for the Coventry meeting which was cancelled. I got my refund 3 working days later after the cancellation on the following Monday. You might want to contact your bank and ask about the delay or contact the Birmingham promotion or even Trybooking if bought through them. That's how I would go about things before posting random speculation on the internet. Edited July 11, 2022 by Pirio Barre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea !! You can't even get "regular" fans in to support your team! It's not about attracting existing fans, it's about capitalising on the Commonwealth Games being held up the road. And why are people going on about athlete security? Somebody has mentioned it and you're parroting it as fact. Seems like you lot will make up any excuse not to get a crowd along. As for having no idea... I think you need to look closer to home, your promotion has done a stonking job at packing Perry Bar to the rafters, it'll just be you and@HGould attending Perry Bar at your current rate I hope you're very happy together!

A sad reflection of reality that the Festival of Sport doesn't include Speedway... Was that because the promotion didn't put themselves forward to be included, or because they did and their bid was rejected? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know if the poster has asked any questions and what the outcome was. It so easy to go on forums and say so and so is to blame (in this case the banks or promotion) however you have to back this up with facts so I hope the poster takes time to find out the reason for the delay and has the courtesy to let us know Edited July 12, 2022 by Pirio Barre because it better then the ODI Cricket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post regarding the payment was based simply an observation having checked a recent bank statement. As far as I was concerned the money was gone five weeks before. I really don’t care therefore if the delay was down the bank or Birmingham Speedway and am not attaching blame to either party. It seems like it’s only you who is interested in getting to the bottom of things. So, sorry to disappoint you, but that is the end of the matter.

I'm loving you, Why post the above question if you 9 hours ago, Teromaafan said: really don’t care Why respond to my comments if you 9 hours ago, Teromaafan said: really don’t care And when someone perfectly reasonably asks you to back up your claim, you fall apart and turn to insults with the added classic 9 hours ago, Teromaafan said: Without wishing to be rude, This is a forum *mate* not a one way rant, and if you bring up a subject on a forum you must expect a response and not just try to shut it down when things get a little awkward. Again I ask, it would be nice if you could answer your own question and find out why there was a delay. If not, maybe you should just stop posting on forums.
