Fromafar Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 17 minutes ago, BackInTheDHSS said: How is this even a debate? If the stream doesn't work, of course you should get a refund. I know some people will take the stance that Birmingham need every penny, etc., but requesting a refund for a broken stream isn't going to keep them going! What might just keep them afloat is good customer service. They should be refunding customers (and apologising) for the issues immediately. Then they'll eventually reap the rewards of that customer coming back and buying the stream again another day, and the day after that, and the day after that. Keep customers happy, and they'll spend money again on another occasion. Upset them, and they probably won't. Simples. Exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious simple example would be greater muscle strength enabling holding on to the handlebars better on a rougher track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm sure Nick Morris is in a pretty bad place at the moment. I'm not condoning anything, but considering he came off last week, I hope for his sake it is pain killers and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Nick still lodge with Rosco or did I read somewhere that he'd moved in with his partner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good for him if she has imo. As in seasons passed she has stayed back in Aussie? And come over occasionally during the season? Also prob to watch her brother as well.

Are his parents not over here ?, I'm sure Lee and Wendy were living somewhere locally ever since Nick was riding over here, maybe I thought wrong.

Good to hear, but, that should have arrived in the subscribers inbox first thing Thursday morning. I contacted the streamer on Thursday and received a courteous refund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, if it was painkillers he'd have conformed to the test, but refusing, only points to one thing?

Hopefully the facts will be published ASAP! Those were my thoughts too, of it was painkillers best to take the test, by refusing he can't prove what it was or wasn't. Can't see how it can be anything other than a 2 year ban? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester website says (in the report of Batchelor signing as Nick Morris's replacement: "Morris failed to comply with the Alcohol and Doping testing procedure when randomly selected prior to Wednesday’s fixture between Birmingham and Glasgow, and he will be summoned to attend an SCB Disciplinary Court hearing." This implies (to me, at least) he refused to take the test. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Just to thank the Birmingham promotion re-the stream for the match. I received an unprompted email indicating the stream had been re-loaded; that I would have a free pass for any meeting; and that if this wasn't satisfactory to contact them. I have watched the stream and despite the lack of Nick Morris there was some excellent racing with Alfie Bowtell showing great skill and more importantly determination - unlike some of his more experienced colleagues. Bomber was superb and every Tiger rode well. There was, quite rightly, a lot of criticism by a number of fans about the stream. Just surprised that so few seem to have acknowledged the offer, which I think is a fair one, by the Birmingham owners. But then again perhaps some of those criticising were just jumping on a bandwagon and hadn't actually paid for the stream?
