Main Man 222 Posted July 14, 2014 COVENTRY are pleased to announce they will honour Birmingham Speedway season tickets for the remainder of the regular Elite League season.The Perry Barr club has regrettably closed for 2014 after attempts to ensure they could continue racing proved unsuccessful, and Coventry wish to give the loyal Brummies fans at least some consolation and value for their financial outlay over the winter.The Buildbase Bees have nine home fixtures remaining, and Brummies season ticket holders will be welcomed with free admission for those meetings. Our next Elite League meeting is this Friday (July 18) against Belle Vue.Match programmes (and admission to play-off meetings if appropriate) will be chargeable at the usual prices.To take advantage of this offer, please send an e-mail to info@coventrybees.co with your name, address, category of season ticket and your season ticket number.These details will be collated and a list placed at the Bees’ usual season-ticket entrance so that your name can be ticked off when you arrive at Brandon. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Its a great gesture from Coventry, hope Wolves do the same with it being closer. Theres no hope season ticket holders will ever get their money back from Phillips but at least they can see speedway, just a shame it wont be the Brummies Edited July 14, 2014 by Brummie Kev 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arthur cross 492 Posted July 14, 2014 All these offers from other clubs to honour Birmingham season-tickets are very welcome when there was no automatic need for such offers to be made. But given there's a much lower take-up of season-tickets in speedway compared particularly to football (especially as the speedway season cuts across more holiday-dates than any autumn/winter/spring-based sports), how many Brummie fans are actually eligible to benefit from this offer ? Perhaps 100 ... surely 200 at the absolute most given it was clear in mid-winter to prospective Birmingham season-ticket buyers that the 2014 team wouldn't hit the 2013 heights even if the horrendous nosedive wasn't so obvious at that stage. So ultimately these are kind offers from elsewhere that won't make much actual difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
