Dont park at the one stop shopping centre.

Why not?  The 4-hour parking restriction ends at 7pm, After that it's unrestricted. It says so, not exactly in black and white, but definitely in dark blue and white on one of many notices posted around the One Stop Shopping Centre. So, the way I see it, you can arrive any time after 3pm, use up your 4 free hours and then you free to stay after that in unrestricted time.

No

The signs state.

Parking allowed up to 4 hours between 0830-2000 on Wednesdays.

If you want to risk  it that's up to you.

I took a photo of the sign in March which I have on my phone, if its changed since  then I 

Apologise.

Ok, I apologise...it's 8pm not 7pm. So you can still park any time after 4pm, stay for 4 hours and then take advantage of unrestricted time. 

Anyone planning on arriving before 4pm will obviously be affected. As to just who you expect to need to park up more than 2 hours before the stadium opens, and therefore what impact that will have, I'll leave it to you to explain.

Please do not park on One Stop shopping centre. We have been advised at the club that we cannot use this on race nights as a fine will be imposed.

There is parking at the stadium or outside Bracebridge and Kalsi Kitchens ( about 40 spaces ) on Walsall Road near to the stadium.

Hope this helps.

It seems that these parking rules are similar to speedway rules ..........INTERPRETATION!.

I think the key bit is "up to 4 hours" whether you arrive at 16.10 or 18.45 your time is up at 20.00. You might get away with if you put a note in your car saying "I am at the speedway. Back about 21.30" but would parking stewards/Birmingham Council believe you & slap you with a ticket.

But what happens after 8pm ?

Does anyone still parked there automatically get a parking ticket ?

Do the gates to the car park get locked, leaving you stranded until the next day?

If anyone takes the risk don't moan after.

Birmingham supporters have been told by the club management not to park there.

Does anyone know any heat leaders who havnt got a team or can ride in the championship?

Morris and wright have to go and then go get 2 heat leaders we need. 
 

Not going to get fans in with this current team

The standing joke is batch but surely can't be much worse. Go and see if spud summers would do a half season again?

Every chance of tempting him back then. He'd do a job. He's not going to get maximums, but he's always pretty consistent.

Batch is the Australian KK most certainly inconsistent, as he said himself he's only interested in wining and nothing else which is why instead of racing he does wheelies during the races. There's a reason no-one in the UK or Poland want him!

I was talking about Aaron Summers, not Batch.
