guitar_art 247 Posted July 20, 2019 The following is a reaction to last week's show. From Ian Jordan Director of Speedway at Eastbourne "Hi Guys - despite being born and bred in Stourbridge (Matthews dad will know me from OLdbury Cycle Speedway days) - I have found myself as Director of Eastbourne Speedway (long story). I occasionally catch your show and heard last night about complaints re some who have booked hotels before match v Brummies on 3 August was cancelled last week. To be perfectly honest it ended up being outside of our control as we could not find a date in July that Glasgow would accept and asked BSPA to give us an extension - BSPA then gave us no option but to ride v Glasgow on 3 August - we can't refund hotel fees but if anyone would like to contact me I'd be happy to arrange FREE ENTRY to anyone affected at rearranged match whenever that is - least we can do...ianjordan@eastbourne-speedway.com (PS Laurence was 100% accurate in what he said re call off by the way no issues there) Best Wishes..Ian" The Speedway Tavern have had permission to publish this.

I have said before, that any speedway fan who books an hotel in relation to attending a speedway match shows not an ounce of common sense if they do not book with a cancellation clause. No excuses. I think all this "I booked an hotel" is a load of poppycock from so-called fans trying to stir up trouble. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No excuses. I think all this "I booked an hotel" is a load of poppycock from so-called fans trying to stir up trouble. I followed the advice of your excellent Eastbourne website and booked with the local Premier Inn. As it advised I chose the "pay on the day option" that allows you to cancel free of charge before 1pm. It's ideal for any Speedway fan (if rain offs are early) and I don't know why more Speedway Teams don't offer such a comprehensive service for Away Fans. Top marks. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
