TTT Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I'd be surprised if Birmingham see out the season after tonight. Some punters won't return after the shambles that's taken place tonight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really expect anything apart from a shambles, with Laurence Rogers being in charge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Gotta feel for the Birmingham promotion, but these sort of things do need special attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what medical solution is realistically available? NHS is in crisis. Massive delays. Medic cover and 2 Ambulance would be massive cost. 2 ambulances would soon pay for itself when you don’t have to abandon your meetings! Find ways to raise money? If Berwick, Edinburgh, Redcar etc can get 2nd ambulances then I don’t know how others can’t! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 People forget only the other week Mildenhall had the same problem with ambulances etc. They had to wait nearly 2 hours for an ambulance which eventually came from Peterborough. The meeting their only continued because it was an afternoon meeting. It's not only Birmingham having the problem i think it's unfair just to criticize the Brummies Promotion. Sadly due to the situation the Country is currently in Abandoning the meeting is going to happen every time there's an incident sadly. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's about time that folk realise that, the NHS is in dire straits and only can be run by donations/charity or whatever. It may push the insurance premiums up, but that's just the way it is?,,, you can't rely on 'free' forever!,,, someone or something has to pay! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meetings can,t be run on a wing and a prayer,the paying public won,t put up with it and it doesn,t look professional at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Don’t feel any sympathy for Birmingham’s promotion, it’s something the majority of clubs have covered for years, and should be mandatory, you cannot abandon a meeting for an ankle injury, when there’s a hospital 5 miles away! Even if a paramedic went with him in a van/the ambulance, and then returned, the public and the away team shouldn’t have to put up with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing they need are ambulances being stood next to a speedway track for two hours waiting for someone to fall off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers99 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 All well and good having the money for a second ambulance, but what if there isn't one available? A friend's father suffered a stroke, he lives alone, they were quoted 24 hours for an ambulance, they got one in the end which only took 14 hours but had to do 120 mile round trip. The issue is far bigger than Speedway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that if you stump up the money for a private ambulance they'll turn up for whoever pays the bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 When people are saying you need a second ambulance, that doesn’t mean taking one away from the NHS ambulance service, it would be ‘st john’s’ or a private ambulance/paramedic firm, the same as what your paramedics and ambulance is in the first place 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
