markyb 323 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Let's hope they see sense, change the pricing and I will probably attend!Come on, be serious - all of a sudden the likes of Horton and Watson will have lost the ability to read or understand English.

Jacques 3,114 Posted September 23, 2014 I would like to know how they are going to stop S/T holders from attending the Wolves meeting as it is already paid for.

robert72 845 Posted September 24, 2014 Tuesday September 23, 2014 ADMISSION prices for Friday's Coventry v Wolverhampton/Coventry v Cradley double-header have been confirmed as follows: Adults £22 Concessions £17 Juniors £5 Season ticket holders £5 admission to cover additional Storm meeting. No admission for NL meeting only. Have to say I am disappointed that season ticket holders are being charged £5 for the NL meeting esp when you think they have already had the money from us for the Birmingham meeting that didn't happen. Season ticket already not really been worth it when you take away all the offers for non season ticket holders. Any word on the Brandonapolis either which is also meant to be part of the season ticket? Can understand why Cradley aren't very happy as they have to pay £22 to watch their NL team. And they wonder why crowds are so low and the sport is dying. Don't think by law they can stop a season ticket holder entering to watch the EL match they have already paid for anyway. I find it an insult even if it's only a fiver. Will the World Champion be riding ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markyb 323 Posted September 24, 2014 Official - per Bees web site - if you attend Friday meeting and retain the re-admission ticket, you can gain entry to the Monday play-off against Swindon for a tenner on production of it. Good news if you NOT a season ticket holder - but shocking if you are ! As the season tickets include a 'play-off' meeting - how the hell are they going to reward the faithful - give them back the 7 quid saving that the 'on-the-night' supporters are getting at the turnstiles - dont think so. Come on Coventry promotion - play fair and forget about the 5 quid extra you making loyal season ticket holders pay on Friday as an offset. Or is loyalty, yet another word not in your vocabulary. Good luck in trying to sell 2015 season tickets by the way !!!!!!!! Happy Days ( luckily NOT a season ticket holder !!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep it's good for me as I will probably now attend but if I was Season ticket holder I'd be disgusted. How can they stop you from entering a stadium for something that's paid for? Come on let the season ticket holders in for free on Friday it basic common sense! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bees_Man 454 Posted September 24, 2014 As a supporter that follows the team home and away its seems we're paying out on double headers nearly every week at the moment. Everyone needs to get their house in order and get fixtures rode in the summer rather than going over a month with no meeting. Its crazy how poorly supporters are treated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Cheetah Snr 113 Posted September 24, 2014 The club appreciates the concerns expressed by season ticket holders regarding the different pricing policies for the hectic schedule of home meetings over the last month, including double-headers. Season ticket holders who wish to discuss the issue further with the promotion are more than welcome, as always, to enter into correspondence via the usual channels and we will be pleased to respond. Where you will be told that they have to let you in to the Wolves match and then you will be escorted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Jones 2,119 Posted September 24, 2014 Instead of inviting season ticket holders who have an issue to contact them, why doesn't the club just issue a statement explaining their position on the matter ? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markyb 323 Posted September 24, 2014 personal insult? personal insult? Quelle horreur - what are you trying to suggest ? Just pointing out that that fine pasties and pies of Coventry Stadium will be plentiful for the likes of Neil Watson to enjoy. it was just a name at random, perhaps I should have chosen mick Horton or IainB - that is unless you have something more to pass on why you think a personal insult has been made. Happy days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 25, 2014 Shouldn't admission have been reduced rather than increased. For the first meeting there is no Tai, Piotr, Thorsell, Barker, Howarth (and possibly Harris) For the second meeting, Cradley have 3 riders missing and Storm have R/R plus Storm go into it with a huge point loss to overturn so looks over before its begun. Not really sure what Horton & Co are thinking esp so near the play offs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Cheetah Snr 113 Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Friday admission prices are as follows: Adults £22, Concessions £18, Under-16s £5, Under-11s Free. Entry for season ticket holders will be £5 to cover the Storm meeting. Programme £3. I see they can't even get their pricing to agree on the website. Advertising Poster on Website says £17.

robert72 845 Posted September 25, 2014 Decided to give both meeting a miss which will save me a fortune,I think it's an insult to season ticket holders & speedway fans in general. A weak ELRC £25 A weak & pointless Elite match followed by juniors £22 Speedway needs to be a £10 sport or it will die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can only be described as a most unprofessional bunch, and to think that just a few years ago Coventry Bees were looked upon as the best run club in the country. How times change!!! Update at 10.30am Just noticed that the price has been altered on the website, now £18.. Edited September 25, 2014 by Dave Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
